REPRESENTATIVE
OF UNITED PRESS
MAKES REPORT
Saws Brest Camp is Not as
Bad as Pictured-is Call
ed "Worst Army Camp in
World"
FURNISH GOOD FOOD
Omitted Press service.)

BREST, Feb. 20.-According to
Lowell Mellett, UNITED PRESS
correspondent who is conducting a
personal investigation of conditions
in Germany and the severa lcamps,
Brest is far from the worst military
camp in the world.
Mr.. Mellett does not substantlate
the opinions that have been given out
by great number of people to the
extent that Brest cantonment is a
veritable "stench hole.'
The UNITED PRESS correspon-
dent has given great deal of study
and dilligent search of the various
camps one of which is the celebrated
Brest camp. In order to inform the
readers of it's conditions MI. Mellett
says, in part, as follows:
81 believe Brest camp to be far
from the worst of the army canton
h1ents, despite the fact thas it has
been given the name of being the
worst army camp in the world
"Men who are permanently sta
toned here think it far from awful
Investigation, on my part, has fail
ed to substantiate the fact that il
has a pest hole or is pest hole. OF
course there is a lot of mud, but
where isn't there mud in Germany
and France, especially at this time OF
the year?
81 understand that it has been ru.
mored in the United States that three
thousand American soldiers died ir
Brest between September and Octo
Der of last year. An official camp
record checked from three source!
shows that November 1917 to Febru
ary 1st of this year a total of twelve
hundred and eleven deaths occurred
from all causes. A Californian pri
vate admitted that Brest was fal
less attractive than Camp Lewis but
that they fed you well and often.
"'Don't let 'em kid you,' he said
this is white mans camp Othel
soldiers have confirmed the Califor
nian pIivate's views"

BY ASSASSIN COTTIN

PARIS, Feb. 20.-Wmen l reached
M. Clemenceau's house, | saw 1t was

attempt further on, at the corner OF
the Rue Franklin and the Boulevard
Delessert. There, hid, waiting the
automobile.
When saw the car, | advanced
and fired sideways, the first bullet
piercing two windows; then as the
car continued to advance, | ran after
it and continued firing until my re-
volver was exhausted. Most of the
bullets hit the car. 1t seems to me
that it was the last, or last but one,
which hit the premier.
About seven months ago, l thought
of killing Clemenceau as the greatest
enemy of humanity. determined
to carry out this project a few days
ago and for this purpose went to the
Rue Franklin, to see how I could at
tack the premier with the least pos
sible risk. / had taken care to find
out his habits and identify his house,
which seemed very simple for such a
personality, and very ugly.
I wished the man who was prepar-
ing for another war to disappear. I
am an integral anarchist, a friend of
men, not excepting the Germans, and
friend of humanity and fraternity.
I got my first good look at M.
Clemenceau at a reception in honor
of the king Of Italy. From that mo-
ment the old mans doom was sealed
Why did I choose this day We'll,

that a slight hemorrage had
followed. The general loca-
ton of the bullet is very hard
to ascertain owing to the weak

Ray examination will follow
as soon as he has regained his
normal strength. Another bull
let was found on the floor of

made addresses of welcome.
Frank Barry responded with
brief speech, for the Chamber of
Commerce. Mr.. Barry spoke in
Spanish. His speech, in part, was as
follows:
"It is not necessary for us to tell
you how heartily we appreciate the
generous welcome you have given us.
For many of us this is the first visit
to pour splendid country. All our
lives we had heard and read wonder
full tales of Mexico and there had
developed in our imagination visions
of romance and glory and dazzling
splendor. Now that we have seen
your country we are amazed at it's
peerless beautyfi it svast stores Of
developed and undeveloped wealth;
but most of all our hearts have been
captured by the charm and hospitali-
ty of it's people. We find historic
romantic Mexico fully equal to the
ideals w echerished and up to our
expectations in glory and beauty and
richness; and now we all agree that
this has been the most delightful and
satisfying journey of our lives.
"We come to visit you not as stran-
gers but as neighbors. An imaginary
line separates the territory which is
designated in the biographies as your
country from the land which is called
America; but there is no boundary
line, not even an imaginary one, be-
tween your ideals and ours, your as
pirations and ours, your destiny and
ours. We are neighbors, and we are
neighbors cherishing the same prin.
ciples. You believe as we believe
that all men are created equal. Yo1
have repudiated the theories of mon.
archie government just as we have
and both of us believe in the inalien
able rights of life, liberty and th,
pursuit of happiness. We both be
lieve, in the language of a grea
American, Abraham Lincoln, in gov
ernment of the people, by the people
| and for the people,
"And so being thus neighbors il
