ally gives him much pain. He bears
this we'll, and the twinges do not
impair his customary good humor
or prevent his indulging in lively
sallies.
The premier's mind never was
clearer nor his thought more rapid
He discusses his wound and his
symptoms technically just as If they
were those Of another person.
Why He Tried to Kill.
Paris, Feb. 2o.-Cottin, the
prem1ers assailant, stated as his
reason for attacking NJ. Clemenceau
that he had planned to kill the
premier because NJ. Clemenceau was
the enemy Of humanity and was pre-
raring for ANOTHER war.
According to the first examina-
ton, the prcmier's assailant, Emile
Coffin, generally called "Milou,"
was born at Creil (thirty-two miles
north Of Paris) in 1896. He is
French. He has done no military
service, having been excused owing
to the state Of his health, He lived
with his family at Compeigne until
they moved to Paris, where he
worked as carpenter.
Coffin declares himself to be a
SOLITARY and scientific anarchist"
Wound May Prove Serious--IsuIlct
Penetrated Lung.
Paris, Feb. 20,-The bullet which
wounded Premier Clemenceau pene-
trated his lungs, 1t was revealed by
the official statement issued shortly
after noon to-day.
After the X-ray examination had
been completed Premier Clemen-
teau walked out on the balcony Of
mis- house, overlooking the garden,
to take breath Of fresh air. The
morning was delightful one, the
first real spring day.
The premier seemed vigorous, al
though he spat a little blood.
The announcement made in the
in the immediate encourage Of the
!remier at his home, and the news
that his condition was more serious
than at first reported spread quickly
throughout France. causing wide
spread expressions Of sympathy.
Receives Callers.
The premier, however, bore up re-
n arkably well during the morning,
refusing to return to his bed and re-
ceiVing numerous callers, among
whom was VIM. G. Sharp, the Ameri-
can ambassador, and Admiral Ben
son, U. S. n.
The American ambassador told
the Associated Press representative
that he found Premier Clemenceau
in the best Of spirits. displaying
wonderful courage and cheerfulness.
