SHOT BY ASSASSIN
clemenceau, Premier Of France,
Escapes With Slight Wound

Georges Clemenceau, Frances
aged but vigorous premier, was
shot and slightly wounded Wed
neSday morning as he was enter
ing his automobile for a drive to
the war Office.
Five shots were fired by the
would-be assassin, and it was at
first reported that the premier had
been wounded in the head. 1t de-
veloped later, however, that the
wounds were in M. Clemenceau'S
back and shoulder, and he appar-
emily is not dangerously hurt.
The would be assassin was an
ordinary-loo man, dressed as
workman. Five shots we're fired,
of which one took effect in the
premier's shoulder. The assailant
was arrested.
The premier's wound is not re-
garded as dangerous in itself, but
it is felt that there might be SER
ious consequences from it, consid-
ering the age and infrmities of the
victim.

HOT FOR OFFENDERS
Sheriff Alden Takes In Booze and
Gets Dispensers

John. Humbles will have to an
swer to the circuit caurt for being
found 10 possession Of booze. Last
Monday nighE two grips of booze
we're set off of the 6 CLOCK train
by some party who remained on the
train. The grips were placed on
the opposite side of the train from
the depot.
John Humbles came along about
this time and took possession Of
the grips. Sheriff Alden, who in
some way had become wise, inter-
cepted John before he had gotten
very far from the depot, and placed
him under arrest. John was car
ried before Justice Hurt, who
bound him over to the circuit
court.
It is generally understood that a
very aged negro, who went over
10 Paducah Sunday afternoon,
brought the whisky and set it off
the train, but to allay suspicion,
continued on the train to the next
stop.
Sheriff Alden. a short time ago,
brought in from Hollow Rock
Junction two negroes who bad been
found with booze on their person.
They wore undercoats or vests
with pockets and these pockets
were we'll fllel VIII / int bottles
Of liquor. They we're walking

MEMORIAL DAY. 1919.

Here lie these dead of ours,
Dead for their country's health,
Dead for their country's wealth,
Dead that the clear fruition
Of the fairest things of life
Might burst in bud and blossom
From the bosom of their strife
Come deck their graves with flowers.
Here lie these braves of ours,
Brave where harsh duty calls,
Brave where a brave man falls
The bravest of the bravest
Have crossed the boiling seas
And stirred the sons of other lands
To daring acts like these
Come deck their graves with flowers.
Here lie these men of ours
Men fearless, stanch and strong,
To right a nations wrong
Men from whose fateful hands
Tho unknOwing has been hurled
The lighted torch of freedom
That has fired a Christian world
Come deck their graves with flowers.
Here lie these sires of ours
Fathers of mighty deeds
Sewers of hOnor's seeds
Our children's children too, will come
And with just reverence bow
To decorate their sacred dust
With blossoms as we do now
Come deck their graves with flowers.

ACADEMY LOSES 70
WORCESTER TRADE SCHOOL

Worcester Trade school won from
| the Norwich Free Academy team Fri
day on the campus in snappy contest
| by the score of 90. The Massachusetts
boys are considered fast bunch of
players, having had on their schedule
| this season such teams as Worcester
Academy, reputed the fastest high
school nine in New England.
With a few more breaks and little
more bean work the local team might
have won. But of course that's only a
guess.
The Academy was leading up to the
seventh by a score of FL. In the
seventh the visitors annexed five runs
on four hits and a brace of errors In
this inning keenan, was replaced by
Grabelefsky, who was also treated
harshly. Walter Johnson would make
a valuable addition to the n. f. A.
band, but they say he demands a
pretty big salary.
Captain Counihan managed to ring
in two doubles during the game and
Meek also came in for a share with a
triple to the fence. Whitney. the eff
fervescent third sacker, made the
crowd sit up with spectacular catch
of a foul fly.
For the foreigners, Nolan. the short
stop, appeared to be the real ball play
base was right behind him.
About $50 spectators attended the
game and they were well satisfied
with the work of the youngsters. We
are sorry to say tina, quite a number
of people who could well afford to pay
their way in watched the game from
the woods, where it didn't cost them a
cent. 1t was interesting to note that
| these birds did all the complaining and
era bling. You can't beat 'em.
Today n. F. A. will try it again.
| They meet Putnam High, and if they
| play the game that they are capable of
| playing they should WIN without much
trouble. The teams are evenly match
ed and it will be a good game without
| a doubt
| Meek may do the hurting. If not, it
will be either Grabel or keenan,. There
! is a chance that they may all take a
crack at it, but we hope for the best.

Czechs and Slovaks,

The Czechs and Slovaks are in eff
feet the same race, with only slight
difference in language, and political
division between them was erected
only in 1867, when to divide the ener-
gies Of the people. the Slovaks were
put under Hungarian rule. The
Czechs and Slovaks have for many
years chafed under and resisted Aus
trian and Hungarian rule. The Czechs
inhabit Bohemia, Moravia and Aus
TRAN Silesia, crown lands of the Aus
trian empire lying between Austria
proper and the south of the German
empire. The Slovaks live in the up
per region of Hungary, adjoining the
Czechs to the east and southeast. The
Czechs are one of the most highly civ
ilized peoples in the world and ec0som-
ically the most prosperous of the Aus
trian empire.
