Relevant to, and in way ex-
planatory Of the persistence of
German plotting in this country
was the dispatch from Harold Will
Hams, particularly competent observ-
ef Of European affairs and one whose
Russian experiences have given him
the best Of rights to speak of the meth
DDS BY which German diplomacy at
tains its purposes. He said that so
far as he could see the new Germany
did not differ in any essential way
from the old Germany. With the many
sources Of information available to
him In Geneva, he has not been able
to discover that the Germans have any
regrets for the part they played in the
war-none. that is, except for failure
b win. He can discover no general
OF real animosity against their fugitive
ruler or the class Of which he was the
head, and he sees mo recognition Of
the wrong done by Germany to the
world-not the faintest sign Of nation
n repentance"

stronger proof of merit?

Ohio, says: "Three years ago had a
bad attack Of kidney trouble. My back
ached constantly and at times / could
not do my work on account of the
sharp pain in my kidneys. If l bent
over, had sharp twinge in my back
and it would be several minutes before
l could straighten up. My kidneys
acted irregularly and caused me an
noyance. My nerves were all un-
strung and the least thing upset me.
My head ached a great deal and at
times 1 was very dizzy. kept getting
worse until one day read statement
in the paper, telling how much good
Doan's Kidney Pills had done another
person in the town and l gave them a

much better. took four boxes in all
and was completely cured"

CLEMEMCEAU SHOT
Youthful Anarchist Attempts to
Assassinate French Premier.

Dispatches to dailypapers to-day
report that Georges Clemenceau,
II, premier of France, was shot and
dangerously wounded by youth
named Cotin, as he entered a mo-
tor car in front or his residence on
Wednesday morning. His assail-
ant was arrested.
The bullet lodged in the back
near the spine and may prove dam
gerous by reason of infection.
Eight shots were fred, six OF
which hit the car; two penetrated
the glass door, one entering Glenn
enceau's neck, passing through the
shoulder, lodging near the spine.
All conferences were cancelled.
