In Describing Attack, Says Adversaries Are Real
 ly Poor Shots"

Paris, Feb. 20.-Premier Clemen- ceau's own story of the attack upon him, as he told it to callers, is given in the Matin today as follows:
 Yesterday when 1 was passing that spot at the corner of the Boule- ward Delessert I remarked d strange silhouetted figure upon the pavement showing someone examining me at tentively. The silhouette was that of a, rather eVil-looking man. I said to myself, Hello, that fellow is up 10 no good This morning at the same spot I observed the same silhouette and immediately thought, Why that's my friend of yesterday
 "I hadn't time to continue the re- fiection, for the individuals arm was raised, revolver in hand, and he fired at the door of the automobile and hit the window. I didn't reflect that there were perhaps more bullets in the re- volver and as soon as the first shot was fired I leaned forward to see. Other shots followed rapidly, one aft CT another, and I felt a sharp pain low down the back of my neck. The pain was so intense that I could not help crying out. I realized perfectly that I had been hit.
 What followed passed with light ming rapidity. The orderly seated be- side the chauffeur on the front of the automobile had at the first shot pulled his revolver out of his pocket. The chauffeur at the same time put on good speed and got Us out of range. Then he turned and brought me back home. Now I feel absolutely noth- ing.'
 The premier paused here, and then added sarcastically:
 My adversaries are really poor shots They are exceedingly clumsy"
 To stephen Pichon, the foreign minister, he said:
 Am l not a good prophet? Do I not arrange things ahead? I had ar ranged to have no meeting of the conference today so that I could get a little rest. Well, I got it."

FINISHING WAR ORDERS
Government Contract for Machine Gun Tripods Causes Increase in WOking Schedule at Machine Co.

Several departments at the New Britain Machine plant have returned to the 10-hour day for a while to finish up some contracts which the government wishes to have completed. The contracts arc for machine gun tripods, which has been the main wartime product of the local plant When the contracts are completed these departments, comprising about 200 hands, are expected to return to the S-hour day.
 When the 8-hour day was put into effect about two weeks ago, an effort was made to complete these orders in the shortened day, but when it was found that it was necessary to speed up production to supply the govern ment with these tripods, the officials decided to work on a 10-hour day basis. Just how long the 10-hour day will be in effect is not known and depends entirely upon the speed with which the work is done.

CATHOLICS GATHER
 10 HONOR CARDINAL

 copate Jubilee.

Washington Feb. 20.--Clergy and laity of Roman Catholicism gathered here today to pay homage to the venerable head of the church in the United States, James Cardinal Gih- bons at the celebration of his gold ell episcopate jubilee. Pope Bene- dict was represented by Archbishop Cerretti, who came from Rome to bring the Pontifical blessings to the aged prelate in testimony of his services a s bishop for half a century and as a cardinal since 1886.
 Dignitaries of he church said the celebration was the most notable gathering of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in North America in more than 30 years, including Cardinal O'Connell Of Boston; Cardinal Begin of Canada; Archbishop Bonzano, the Papal nuncio in the United States and 8 great host of archbishops, bishops and monsignori.

Fragrant Inaccuracies Noted in Statement to Press and Real Text
ALLIES MAKE CORRECTIONS
Among Other Things, Foch Is Said to Have Declined to Even Intimate When Question of Peace Treaty Would Come Up.

Paris Feb. 20.---Communication and declarations made to the press by the German government, or Matthias Erzberger, chairman of the German armistice delegation, contain Fragrant inaccuracies which require immediate correction,' declares an official note issued late last night. The note says:
 Two Statements Differ.
 "First-The text of Chancellor Scheidemann's protest communicated to the press by the German govern ment differs notably from the original text handed to Marshal Foch by Erz- berger at Treves on February 16 at 6 o'clock D. m. The first phrase, as communicated to the press, follows:
 "'The German government is con- scious of the grave consequences that acceptance of the convention must entail
 ''The first phrase of the text, as handed to Marshal Foch by Herr Erzberger, reads:
 The German government is con- scious of the grave consequences that either acceptance or refusal of the convention must entail Un German: 'Sovohl die annahme vie die ableh- nung des abkommens.D
 New Phrase Inserted.
 "In the same way whole new phrase has been inserted into the text communicated to the press as follows:
 Tt cannot yet be said if we are able to follow the instructions of the allied high commando
 This phrase does not figure in the text as given to Marshal Foch by Erz- berger.
 "Second-Herr Erzberger declared at Weimar in reference to this pro- test:
 Not Part of New Armisticc.
 This German note was handed to Marshal Foch before the signing of the convention and was accepted by him. From our point of view, then, it must be considered as forming part of the new arrlistice convention.'
 Marshal Foch has already in formed the president of the German delegation several times that the texts duly signed by the allied and enemy plenipotentiary staites alone formed part of the armistice conventions. This note does not come within that cate gory. It is absolutely independent of the convention. It constitutes a mere manifestation of the purely platonic activity of Scheidemann.
 No Hint of Peace Meeting.
 "Third-Fnally Erzberger alleging certain pretended declarations of Marshal Foch, has affirm ed that 'pourparIers would be opened at an early date on the question of peace preliminaries.'
 The fact is that Marshal Foch cate gorcally refused to give the slightest intim ation on this subject, notwith- standing the lively insstence of Erz- berger"
