SOON BEGIN WORK
Rapid Improvement Leads to
Hope That Premier May
Soon Recover.

By United Press:
PARIS. Feb. 22.-Premier Glenn
enceau. providing he continues to
improve as at present. will be able
TO resume his duties as chairman
OF the peace conference Monday, it
was stated today. The slight rise in
the premier's temperature was be-
lieved to be due TO his exertions yes
terday afternoon, when he walked
about his garden.
He eats heartily and the pain of
the wound is said TO have virtually
departed. His physicians are under
stood to have agreed that no at
tempt will be made to remove the
bullet at present and that there may
be no necessity for an operation
later.
The premier did not go to bed last
night, it was stated, but slept in an
arm chair. His sleep was said to
have been agitated.
Seek AccOmplices.
Although Emile Coffin, the assas-
sin. maintains that the attack was
undertaken solely on his own re-
sponsibility. the authorities continue
10 search for possible accomplices.
They have questioned practically
every known anarchist in the city
and the investigation is said TO have
extended TO other French centcrs
Reports understood 10 have beer
circulated in America, that Clemen-
ceau grappled with his assailant are
utterly unfounded, according to eye
witnesses. A policeman seized Coffin
Immediately after the shooting and
the premier's car sped on for several
yards. Eye-witnesses agreed that at
no time was Coffin closer than 10
feet to the premier.
