PARIS, Feb. 20.-The echo de
Paris" again takes up the American
press question, saying:
"Some of our associates of the New
World follow the work at the Quai
d'Orsay with feelings that do not re-
fleet the tragedy through which we
have lived. They seem astonished to
find the atmosphere of Paris still trou-
bled by the war But we believe the
fact that we have been unable to forget
that the struggle which has barely
ended is an assurance of a quick peace,
and what is better a solid peace
This was the reason we rejoiced
when President Wilson accepted Paris
as the seat of the conference, seeing
therein safeguard against a tendency
toward political speculation"
The echo de Paris" finds the present
little quarrel to be the result of the
insincere policy which it has been
thought wise to follow "till this mo-
ment in the peace conference. when
every time Mr.. Wilson lifted his voice
chorus of praise answered from this
country"
Did that mean that our leaders of
public opinion approved all that fell
from his lips ?" the echo" continued.

made detailed explanations unneces-

peoples were placed upon false basis.
America was brought to think that
France joyfully accepted ideas which
had not its unanimous adherence.
"On the other hand any detailed at
tempt to explain the policy of the
Washington government or the move
ment of American public opinion was
placed Oh index by our censorship, to
which had been added two American
experts, and France was thus led tc
think that the policy, of Mr.. Wilson
was that of all America"

to conduct the preliminary examination
of Coffin, but the prisoner was suger-
ing from an intense pain about the eyes
and face as a result of the pummelling
he received yesterday and from loss of
sleep. Coffin was unable to reply in
diligently and will be questioned to-
morrow. DR.. Paul, police surgeon, had
to be called to attend the prisoner. One
of CottIn's eyes was completely closed
and had toNbe cut open.
Realizes His Position
Cottin's demeanor has lost some of it's
nonchalance, and he apparently now is
realizing the seriousness of his position.
Coffin, who was taken to Saute
Prison last night, probably will be
tried under the law of 1898, passed
after an anarchist attempt in the
French Chamber of Deputies, by which
he is liable to the death penalty even
though death does not result from the
attempt. He will be tried in the AS
sizes Court and not by court mar
tial, as Paris is no longer III state
of siege.
Cottin's father and mother are
working people. They live in Rue
Convention, the father working in a
factory in Issy les Moulinaux A
brother, seventeen, also works in a
factory there. A second brother is
five and half years old.
Neighbors of the family describe
Emile Coffin as being addicted to
neither smoking nor drinking, but
say he was a great reader of novels
and books on astronomy and soci-
ology. His father tried in vain to COM
bat the anarchlstic ideas of his son,
but the latter ridculed him as being
old-fashioned. When he heard the
news of the attempted assassination
he was at work, but felt PRESENT.
ment, it is said, that the criminal was
his son.
Emile Coffin has been under treat
mert for an affection of the heart and
a disease of the larynX.

attacked Polish forces west of Posen
yesterday and by the use of gas shells
compelled the Poles to retire along
the line Of lagoons south of Nowy

Previous to the attack the inter

ask the armistice commission to in

They worked wonders In doing So
and despite the manifest discomforts
Of daily rains and perpetual mud
they have in Pountanezen provided a
halfway station between the battle
front and home which Is second to
none In the world. Pountanezen Is
about seven or eight miles outside Of
the town itself. Its present capacity
Is about 10000. Within three months
1t will have been expanded to take
care Of 10000.
The embarkation hospital at Ker-
huon, separated only a few hundred
yards from Pountanezen, will ulti.
mately have a capacity for caring for
1900 cases. 1t can now care for
between six and seven thousand. Both
plants are near completion. The plans
when finally worked out will provide
accommodations for three-fifths of the

the United States on European soil.

To Keep the Well Diverted.
The big thing, as the responsible
officials view 1t. is to provide the
healthy men with diversion to keep
them not only out of mischief but in
good spirits while waiting for trans

next door to death and constantly un.

finding life at detention and intern.

Is the purpose of the officials respon-
sible for their welfare to keep them
occupied SO that they will not miss
the tumult Of war or brood too much
upon the delay of getting home.
Up to date the chief occupation of
the 10000 men who are centered here
has been confined to speculation as to
dates Of departure and taking a close

Some idea of the native entertain
