SOCIALIST DEPUTY KILLED
M. Jaures, Leader in French Chamber,
10 Shot Down in Restaurant.
Dies Immediately.

Paris.-Jean Leon Jaures, the noted
socialist leader, was assassinated
while dining in a small restaurant
near the bourse. The" assassin was
arrested, but refused to disclose his
identity. Later he was identified as
Raoul Villain, 20 years old, and said
to be the son Of a clerk of the civil
court at Rheims.
Louis Malvy, minister of interior, on
learning of the crime, left the meet
ing of the council and ordered precau-
tons to be taken to prevent demon
trations.
M. Jaures was seated at a table
near an open window, facing the Rue
Mont Martre, chatting with several
socialist deputies and the editor Of
L'Humanite. AS though by pre-ar-
rangement, the curtain covering the
window was lightly brushed aside and
a hand holding a revolver was thrust
through.
Before M. Jaures could move he re-
ceived two bullets in the back Of the
head. He fell forward, dead, with his
head on the table.
The reports of the shots startled the
diners and ~passersby and the assassin
was seized. In his pocket was an
other loaded revolver. The police res
cued him from the crowd, which shout
ed death to the assassin"
The body Of the noted deputy was
placed in a city conveyance which,
surrounded by weeping comrades and
friends, hurried to his home, followed
by a detachment Of republican guards.
M. Jaures had returned here from
Brussels, where he attended the In.
ternational socialist congress to pro-
test against the war, and since his
arrival had delivered an address on
the subject. His campaign against
hostilities Is thought possibly to have
had some connection with his murder.
One Of the witnesses to the shoot
ing says the assassin of M. Jaures de-
clared after he fired: II did 1t be-
cause Jaures fought the three first
years (the three years military law).
He fought France"

tration's purposes in Mexico and elsewhere, was
given by President Wilson at the Flag Day
celebration of the state, war and navy depart
ments in their building on June 15
A squad of navy bluejackets hosted the flag.
Waving his hand toward it, the president said i:
''Our spirits as we'll as our states are now re,
united, and nobody questions our ability to push
forward our economic affairs upon lines of I'M
paralleled success and prosperity.

and flaunt it. If | am respected, | do not have

have to ask for fear If my power is known, do
not have to proclaim it. / do not understand
the temper, neither does this nation understand
the temper Of men who use this flag boastfully.
This flag for the future is meant to stand for
the lust use of undisputed national power. No
nation is ever going to doubt our power to as
sert its rights and should lay it to heart that
no nation shall ever henceforth doubt our pur-
pose to put it to the highest uses to which a
