CLEMENCEAU'S CONDITION
Anxiety Manifest When it is Realized
Prcmier's Wound is OF a Serious
Nature

Paris. Feb 21.-There is no blink
ing the fact that Georges Clemen-
ceau is in serious condition.
The would-be assass:n's bullet that
was supposed to have sped clear
through the flesh of his back from
shoulder to shoulder was found today
to have taken no such harmless
course. 1t penetrated his lungs. y
rays taken early today traced it and
disclosed its precise location accord
ing to bulletin issued by the four
doctors who are the "Tiger's" allies
in his battle with death.
The worst of it is that no effort
can be made for the present to. eXtri-
cate the bullet. The patients condi-
ton is such as to render such an at
tempt perilous. Emission of blood is
continuous and at last accounts his
temperature was rising.
Paris police are tracing reports that
the attempt at the Premier's life was
made under Bolshevist instigation.
French authorities. with the coop
crrtion of intelligence ofli:ers of the
associated powers, were conducting
a sweeping investigation in corncc-
ton with the attack on Premier Gle
mcnceau which resulted in the aged
statesman receiving severe wound
from a revolver bullet Officials were
working on the theory that the at
tack may have been Only part of a
plot against the principal allied 'ead-
crs, although nothing had been un-
earthed. so far as is known, to sup
port this surmise.
Emile Cotton. the assassin, is
known to have attended recent
meeting of anarchists, in which the
participants shouted: death to Gle
mcnccau!" Coffin was arrested, in
company with several other anar-
chists, at the time, but was later
released. His explanation of the
shooting is that he regarded Clemen-
ceau as an enemy TO the workers.
New York, Feb. PA hemorrhage
of the lung, such as described in the
offfoial statement of Premier Clcmen-
ceau's condition, indicates serious,
though not necessarily fatal wound,
DR.. Charles H. Peck, surgeon said
yesterday.
at is, of course, difficult to deter
mine from meagre information re-
ce;ved, the exact nature of the wound
and the possible results" said Dr..
Peck: 'sbut such wounds are not al
wavs fatal. The greatest danger lies
IN possible infection which might re-
sui. in pneumonia or pleurlsy. The
longer any danger of complications is
