CLEMENCEAu sHOTBY YOUTH
Seven Bullets Fired At the French
Observation-Disclosures Slayer
Captured.

Paris.-"ReSting comfortably" is the
latest word concerning the condition
of Georges Clemenceau, Premier Oh
France, who was struck by three bulls
let's from the revolver of a Would-De
assassin as he was riding in limou-
sine to the Hotel Crillon. One OF the
bullets entered his right shoulder ana
lodged in the left shoulder, the TWO
others caused only flesh wounds, their
driving power being checked ana al
most stopped by the heavy fur coat
the Premier was wearing. There is
good omen in the fact that the bullet
which did cause actual internal INJURY
went clear through the flesh from
shoulder to shoulder, leaving the splnal
cord and lungs untouched. No arteries
were severed.
The would-be assassin is under ar
rest, though doubts still Shroud his
identity. His name is said to ne
Emile Coffin. One report says he is
a confirmed anarchist. His age IS
gwen as 10 years. The fantastic ma
MIA with which he was possessed, was
shown by the boldness of the attack
and the fact that he did not let loose
of the trigger until every bullet in his
pistol had been spent. But the vague
ness of his aim resulting in most OF
the shots going Wild tends to confirm
his youth and the idea that he is i
crank.

No better day GOULD possibly be
chosen than today for the showing
of THE Birth of a Nation" that
wonderful masterpiece OF d. w.

stay at the Opera House this after
noon. The streets Of Augusta will
today be dotted with men in olive
drab and blue, sons Of Augusta who
have come to take part in the Of
fetal welcome to men who saw
service in the world war.
Of all the pictures that have been
thrown on the screen, critics unre-
servedly admit there has never been
anything that could approach the
magnitude of this production.
Starting with the stirring days OF
the Civil war. it shows some Of the
crucial periods in American history.
Two interesting romances connect
all the great scenes so that drama.

all provided.
The matinee performances of this
film will be at 2.30 and those in the
evening at 100. The same prices
that have prevailed at the Opera
House will be charged 50 that Au-
gusta people WDl be given the first
opportunity of any people in Maine
to see this great Griffith production
at popular prices.
For 1.-The Birth of a Nation" Mr..
Griffith took as the skeleton the
story of Thomas Dixon's 1.-THE
Clansman." but he had in mind a
far vaster conception than Dixon's.
1t was his aim to reproduce an
epoch in American history so vivid
ly that the spectators would actual
ly be carried out of the present and
live in a past that is fast becoming
remote and hazy. He did not make
the mistake Of desiring to depict
this period Of the past in naked and
horrid realism. He was determined
from the start to throw about 1t a
glamor of romance that would
soften the picture without distort-
ing it.
