Paris, Feb. 20.-The attack of Emile
Coffin on NJ. Clemenceau does not ap-
pear to have been any impulsive move
ment prompted by disordered brain.
but a deliberate attempt at murder,
decided on after mature premedita-
ton. About seven months ago." said
the would-be assassin, II thought of
killing Clemenceau as the greatest
carry out this project few days ago.
and for this purpose went to the Rue
Franklin, to see how I could attack the
premier with the least possible risk"
The first shot broke the side win
dow, sending the glass about the old
tiger, the bullet perforating the roof;
the second shot pierced the wood
framework of the tonneau, hurling
splinters everywhere inside the car
and scratching the premier's face; the
third shot struck the premier in the
shoulder; the fourth shot drilled a
hole through the back glass window of
the car, shaving Clemenceau's head
and breaking the glass partition sepa-
rating the tonneau from the front seat
and inflicted scalp wound on Glenn
enceau; the fifth shot pierced the back
window again and went out through
the roof. Meanwhile, the driver
stopped the machine.
Before the assassin fired the fifth
and last bullet, he was surrounded by
scores of women, who rushed from the
fish mongers, butcher shops and even
from the hair dressers opposite while
the garcons working in the Terrace
| restaurant across the street, rushed to
the scene with napkins waving from
their arms
Two agents de ville-policemen-
rushed up, trying to separate the as
sassin from the crowd, when the man
twisted another revolver from his
pocket and fired twice, seriously
wounding a policeman in the chest.
Instead of scattering the crowd, how
ever, these shots made the women
more furious and they reattacked the
assassin, tearing his clothing off.
Meanwhile French officers leaped off
passing street cars and jumped out of
taxicabs and succeeded in thrusting
aside the mob. Two American dough
boys, wearing the Second division in
sigma on their shoulders, jumped in
and pinned down the assailant, who
was moaning and crying.
Latest reports from Clemenceau's
attendants were that his condition was
satisfactory and that he was cheerful
throughout the day despite occasional
fits of coughing. For the present 1t
has been decided by the surgeons that
extraction of the bullet may not be
necessary, and arrangements have
been made to take photographs of the
injured parts.

Washington.-Score of kilograms
reaching the treasury indicate exis-

the Victory liberty loan had been
abandoned or modified materially by
decision of the House Ways and

SOU 7 s
Fl &
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America)
AFTER HUN sCOUTMASTERS

No man exercises a greater in
fuence over an American boy than his
ScOutmaster. The Hun understands
this. Before the war some Germans
sought commissions as scout leaders.
Why?
Since the war began facts have
come to light showing that Germans
and prO-Germans have endeavored to
escape detection and continue their
connection with the organization, al
though it is committed to patriotic
service for the United States of Amer
lea, the defeat Of Germany and the
stamping out of German militaEsm.
1t is time for every scout official to
keep awake. Is any troop sluggish in
selling Liberty bonds and War Saw
fngs stamps? Find the reason
there's no time to be lost
Who is teaching the boys? What
is he teaching? Who endorsed his
application for a commission? Did the
applicant tell the truth on his appli-
cation?
A scout is kind-but he does not
befriend those who are killing his
brothers in battle and numbering wOm-
en- and children for no reason except
the love of slaughter, and greed.
The Boy Scouts of America are
Americans. They obey the orders of
the government.

COVERING FRUIT WITH GOLD
Festival Custom in Southern India
Has Long Been Recognized Fea-
ture Of Native Life.

One of the interesting uses to which
brass and gold leaf are applied in
southern India is for gliding lines,
the decorated fruit, according to To-
cal custom, being exchanged by ma
tives on festival occasions in token
of esteem. The origin of this practice
is apparently unknown, but it dates
from a distant period and is a recog-
nized feature Of Indian life. The ex-
change of lines takes place on New
Years days, of which several are OBJ
served in India. Besides the English
anniversary observed by the natives,
the MOhammedans and the Tamil and
Telugu branches Of the Hindus have
special New Years days. A native
calling on New Years day on a per-
son to whom he or she desires to
show esteem, presents the host with
a lime. In the case of the well-to-dO
the lime is always ornamented with
brass or gold leaf. The custom some
times extends also to the ordinary
"tamash" or social reunion. Thus, a
good deal of brass leaf is used for
gilded lines and the bazar trade in
this line throughout southern India
is really considerable. The leaf is
also used to some extent in the man
ufacture of gilded caps or ''tOpi,"
worn generally by Mohammedans in
southern India on their holidays and
for decorations on the dresses Of
MOhammedan women.

BUSY GREEK PEASANT GIRL
Care of Sheep and Goats, and House.
hold Duties, Leave Her Little
Time for DaiIying.

To the Greek peasant girl is COM
mitted the care Of her fathers flock,
which she must lead every day to the
pasture and fold at night. The vOskO
pOula, or shepherdess, is one of the
most prominent characters in rural
folk song, and many a charming idyl
has been composed in her honor.
But she has little time for sylvan DIAL
lying, for the sheep and goats must be
MIXED, and the milk must be convert
ed into cheese and yiaourti, delicious
and wholesome sour curd, which is in
great demand in the towns. When the
sheep have been shOrn, the wool is
bleached and spun, and then knitted
and woven into garments for the fam
lily or into cloth for sale. The cotton
or flax grown on the farm must also
be gathered in their seasons, and pre-
put through a small hand machine
called the mangan0, which turns two
rollers different ways, and separates
the fiber from the seed. The instru-
ment next used is the tOXevein. large
bow made from curved piece of
wood five or more feet long, the two
ends of which are connected by stout
string. The cotton is placed loosely
on the string, which is made to vibrate
by being struck with stick, produc-
ing not unmusical sound. This proc
ess detaches the particles of cotton,
