wound, it was stated, was slightly increased tenn perature.
 First reports of the incidents of the shooting were somewhat contradic- tory. It seems established. however, that Nj. ClemenCeau was in his auto mobile It had started and was turn ing a corner of the Rue Franklin into the Rue Delessert when q man stand ing on the sidewalk jumped toward the door of the automobile and fired several times.
 One of the bullets penetrated the interior of the car and struck the Pre- mter in the right shoulder. The Pre- mier tried to open the door when the first shot was fired although the auto mobile was under cOnsid era.ble head way and while he was thus engaged the bullet hit him. His chauffeur. Brabant, was also slightly wounded. Thus three of the assassin's bullets, it appears, took on, one upon the Pre- mter another upon the chauffeur and the third upon Policeman CAoursat, who was one of the police agents who guard the Premier.
 It was in the struggle with the as saSsin after he had shot into the au- tomobHe that the police officer was wounded. Meanwhile, the Premier had stepped out of his automobile and walked into his house.
 The actual arrest of the assailant was made by Police Agent Labaugh. He also made the first examination
 of the prisoner.

MIGRATORY BIRD PROHIBITION.

The United States Supreme Court has set aside the so-called migratory bird law as unconstitutional. This leaves many of the most valuable bird species, which protect growing crops against insects, without protec- ton. Owing to the lack of proper statutes in some states, the pot hunt CTS can now go out for bird pie at the cost of the people at large.
 AS a result insects will destroy a, large part of many crops. The only offsetting advantage is that the veal thy people will get their bird dinners, and the gunners will get the fun and the money for killing these useful creatures. Not many intelligent sportsmen take part in this form of hunting. It is largely confined to aliens and other ignorant people, who do not realize that birds are the prin- clpaI protection against insects for the great food crops.
 fine American people should at once remedy the fault found in this law. It has proved not a very difficult mat ter to get the United States constitu- ton amended. An amendment the civic value of which is so obvious could be put through in a short time.
 The protection of migratory birds is difficult to handle, because the people in one state may not realize how es- sential that variety is to crops pro- duced in some other state. So the people of one locality keep on killing them thoughtlessly, with no concep- ton of the harm they do. They do not realize that the birds they kill are needed tc protect from insects the crops upo- which they are depending. Or an energetic movement of far mers' organizations could no doubt
 get all the states to adopt uniform .! bird protection statutes. The Grange or other representatives of the far mers should agitate the mater. Ac-
 tions needs to be tapen that will pro- tect the birds that are necessary to save next summers crops.

PROHIBITION
 VOTE LATER ON

Hartford, Jan 23-,A vote in the Connecticut General Assembly on the Federal prohibition amendment is not expected for several weeks, ac- cordirg to legislative leaders, today. The governor may send it in shortly. Speaker walsh holds the opinion that the most expeditions way in which to receive it would be to make the amendment an order of the day on a specified day. This will give oppor- tunity for general debate without a long draWn-out discussion before a committe from which majority and minority reports would be likely to issue, and on which an order of the day would be required Should the amendment be sent first to the Senate the plan suggested by Speaker Walsh might not be followed, although sen- ators today seemed anxious to adopt the quickest method of disposing of the matter before general legislatioSi is taken up A vote on the amend ment may not be possible before the middle of February.
 H. H. SpOoDer and F. L. G. Hohen- thai, both interested in prohibition legislation, today said they believed every member had his mind made up as to his action on the amendment.

 MT. Johnson conferred with General March, Chief of Staff. So far as known there will be no change in the policy of the department not to issue any special order in favor of baseball players, but to treat them as all other soldiers are treated and leave it to their immediate commanders to pass upon their applications for discharge.
 Since the league players have their places awaiting them, however, they fall within the class of soldiers com manding officers have been authorized to discharge without delay where mil itary efficiency would not be injured by that action.

 German diplomatic agents have is sued warnings for all who are not natives to leave the country. There are few American refuges from Kiev who have reached Moscow. but are unable to leave there because they have no funds.
 The cost of food at kiev is almost as great as at Moscow. Clothing is SC scarce that it is common to see
 people robbed of their shoes on the street. Many German officers have
 been stripped naked by bands of

 Fusitives are frequently unable to
 get trains for Odessa, but, even if

 Many former prisoners now freed from the army are hurrying to make up for lOsS time. This band of law breakers is increased by contingents from the armies of our Allies.

HOW HOBBY
 BAKER DIED

Princeton, N. J., Jan. 23-The first detailed account of how Captain Ho- bart A. Baker, former Princeton ath- lete, met his death in France 45 minutes after his release from ser vice has just been received in a letter from Lieut.. Edward C. Olds, who was adjutant on the staff of the Sec ond Army Air Service, to which Cap tain Baker belonged. Captain Baker was killed near Foul on Dec. 31.
 Lieutenant Olds wrote that after being released Baker decided to take final short trip in his spad. There was a ship in his hangar belonging to one of his officers. the engine of which had gone bad a few days ago. the letter said. Tt had been repaired and Captain Baker decided to use his last trip to test out the repaired ma chine. Both his officer and mechanic strongly urged him not to do so but he insisted. He was up only 150 metres when the engine failed. He dropped rapidly and, if he had con- tinued straight ahead, would have landed in some small trees and wires. However, he did what so many good aviators do just once too often-he tried to get back into the field, nosed down to gain headway, started into a vrille and crashed, being almost in- stantly killed.
 He was buried near Major Luf- berry, in the little American ceme- tery of United States evacuation hos pital No. l at Menil-la Tour, just north Of Toul."
