ON GERMAN SOIL.

The friends around Abbeville will
be glad to hear of Corporal W. C.
Ellis, who is now on German soil with
the Army of Occupation. The young
man is with the 301st Engineers and
is stationed near Coblenz. He writes
home of many interesting things. He
is staying with a German family who
are friendly and must think mighty
we'll of him for Mr.. Ellis has re-
ceived letter from the e>lady of the
house congratulating him on his fine
young son. The young soldier says
he is having lively time with money
for he had scarcely become accus-
toned to the francs before he was
moved on and now he is struggling to
get "on to the German marks"
Corp. Ellis says eggs are eighteen
cents a piece in good American mon
ey. The family with whom he lives
were the proud owners of two hens
until the government stepped in and
took one, which may account for the
high price. = -. ..

IN POLICE COURT.

Will Jones, a negro fireman on the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, was be-
fore Mayor Mars Monday morning
on four charges. Will got a little
too much of corn extract Sunday, and
tried out his faithful shooting iron
in the city limits. The iron was con-
cealed before Will got ready to shoot
but after that it was very much in
evidence. Police officer Blackman
soon offered himself in evidence, and
gave Will an invitation to walk up
town and spend a night at the ex-
pense of the city. Will refused to
accept the invitation, and his con-
tinued refusal against the efforts OF
the officer gave rise to the fourth
charge. Will was assessed $40 for
the nights lodging in connection with
the other charges.
Mrs. Will having appeared and
given certain directions to the officer
about how to handle Will, she was
allowed to spend the night at the
city hotel for which the mayor eharg,
ed her $1,000. ..

AMERICA MUST FEED THE ~
. RUSSIANS FOR LONG TIME

Archangel, Thursday, March 13.-
Information otained by the Allied
food committee. in, North Russia and
from persons reaching Archangel
from the interior, indicates that the
Russian question is settled and. the
country is again placed on a sound
agricultural basis =, 90 o.. ..
Owing to the shortage of seed
grain which, because of the famine,
has been used for food, Russia will
be comparatively without crops in
1919 and this condition will extend
into 1920, even if the country is re-
stored to peace.
"The outside world, particularly
America, must be prepared to feed
the most of the Russian population
for at least six months after peace
is restored" a member of the food
committee said today. "And so long
as Russia. remains without crops, the
rest of Europe must also look toward
America for the grain which former
ly poured out of Rusia's Baltic and
Black Sea ports"

DEATH SENTENCE ...,
..,:..t FOR EMILE. COTTIN
Man Who Attacked clemenceau Con-
victed-only Brief Trisl-court-
- martial Opened at Paris Thurs
day With Unanimous Decision -.
NO.. 80. =,
Reached During Day.

Paris, March 14.-Emile Coffin,
the anarchist who recently made an
attempt upon the life of Premier
Georges Clemenceau, was sentenced
to death today by the courtmartial
which was trying him. The verdict
of the courtmartial was unanimous.
Coffin first conceived the. idea of
shooting the premier in May, 1918,
according to an official record read
at the courtmartial which opened to-
day. In May, 1918, the employees
of aviation factories were in strike.
Coffin practiced shooting after that,
it was said. ~
When the courtmartial opened the
clerk read the report describing the
attempt on the premier. The report
showed that Coffin fired twice with
out moving and then fired five times
while running behind the automobile
to which he was So close that one wit
ness believed he had jumped on the
rear of the car. 1t was shown that
Coffin aimed at the seat in which
Premier. Clemenceau was sitting and
fired SO accurately that two bullets
almost touched it. ..-l ..,.,., .
Rarely has crime" said the re-
port, ''been accomplished with more
sustained premeditation, more, de-
sigh and more implicable tenacity
with certainty of method which it
seemed would infallibly lead to a
fatal result"
Coffin is described in'the report as
primitive, vain and conceited and be-
lieving himself omniscient. He was
able to earn 81 francs a day easily,
yet, finding society badly organized,
was desirous OF destroying every
thing. The document gives expert
medical opinion unreservedly holding
Coffin responsible for his action.
