claimed man walking up Eighth Ave
nue.. near 111th Street, with young
woman last night.
AS he spoke he drew revolver and
fred His companion dropped, shot
through the abdomcr. The youth raised
I'the revolver to his temple and pulled
! the trigger again. The bullet went
through the brim Of his hat and he
fred another shot, which went wild.
Then he fed, with a yelling crowd at
his heels.
Joseph Schasfeld, of 2O6 East Sew
enty-ffth Street lifted the victim into
his automobile and took her to the
Woman's Hospital. A patrolman who
was under the impression that the man
who had fired the shots was escaping

a deeper joy, as by irtrusting me with
the mandate of bringing to President

ministraton, l could have the oppor-
tunity through you to hail America

and dark, which, however, shine for me
with all the enthusiasm projected by

"You may imagine the sacred emo
tion which | felt when returning
among you. Let me express to you
this emotion in my message.
"Never America, all America, will
know the gratitude of my country for

From the Atlantic to the Pacific,

cent land, where all races and creeds

gled, ~our mind finds anew the gener-

Nothing will ever break the ties of

Of humanity through q better world"
The statement, which was headed
message of his excellency, NJ. Rene
Vivani, former Premier of France,
envoy extraordinary of the French Re-
public to the President of the United
States" was regarded as clearing up
for the first time officially the precise
status under which the French official
was received by the American govern
ment.
State Department officials have said
that the former French Premier pre-
sented no formal credentials upon his
reception by the State Department, but
was received with the verbal introduce
tion of Ambassador Jusserand as a

action very far against Hungary un-
less advised to do SO from Paris Even
Italy. and JugoSlavia, it is said, might
be persuaded by interested parties not
to take the matter of Charles's return
too seriously.
The events of the next few days
therefore may possibly show that
Charles's return Is far from the
feather Drained action that it was first
represented to be in Paris.
Charles Regarded as Anti-German
Generally speaking. France would
have no objection to Charles as king
of Hungary and would regard his re-
turn to power an anti German rather
than 8 pro-German victory. Presum-
ably Charles would follow the policies
/ laid down by the present Hungarian
government in its frendlness toward
France and in its anti olshevik atti-
tude. France, therefore, has nothing
to fear and perhaps something to gain
by the restoration Of Hapsburg.
lie Temps this evening realizes that
the people may think that the French
government is at the bottom of the
Hungarian plan and answers: "France
is above all insinuation and already
has done what is necessary to estab-
lish the truth"
Le Temps affirms- that Premier
BRAND yesterday sent circular tele-
gram to Frances diplomatic represen
ta.ives abroad declaring that the
. French government had clearly shown
its opposition to return of the Haps-
burgs and fully approved the act of
the Allied commissioners in Budapest
in warning the Hungarian government
once more as to the attitude of the
Allies.
lie Temps also says that the Italian
ambassador, who called at the Quai
d'Orsay yesterday, received these same
assurances from the French govern

BERLIN, March 31.--The Communist
irsurrection in Germany apparently is
subsding rapidly. In only q few places
is fighting continuing. Factories arc
resuming work with full forces
In tie Ruhr district, while the gen
cral situation is much improved, n
number of explosions or attempts to
blow up buildings and bridges have
occurred
Rhine dispatches say the troops hold
ing the Cologne brdgehcad have been
reinforced to prevent the Reds from
entering the occupied territory. An
American detachment in an auto truck
was sent to Wirges, in the Coblenz
sector, at the Burgomaster's request,
to break up n Communist gathering.
Communists broke into the Weser
shipyard near Bremen and raked fires

Red Headquarters Captured
The province Of Saxony is almost
completely quiet, but between Halle
and Leipsic the remnants of the Red
army hold several villages. The police
succeeded in capturing in Halle the

ment.
huge volume of documents was
seized, and these will play an impor-
tain role in the forthcoming trials.
Abundant evidence was found showing
complete military organization of
Communists, with commanders in Rus
sian towns and villages who are under
orders to distribute arms among the
Communists when the word is given.
The captured papers, it is asserted,
implicate most Of the Communist lead
ers in Germany. The Halle headquar-
ters worked under directions from the
Dresden organization, whose conf
mander has been arrested.
Clergymen Seized as Hostages
Among the hostages taken by the
Reds in the province of Saxony were
many clergymen, many of whom were
maltreated. The Communists also i'm
pressed workmen into the Red army
with threats Of instant death
There are already indications of de-
fections in the Communist party. At
Hamburg prominent Communists have
announced their withdrawal from the
party.
Berlin is quiet. Work in the fac
tories has been resumed and the gov
ernment has withdrawn the barbed
wire entanglements with which Will

officials who directed that an arsenious
compound be used in the printing of
Hungarian currency aimed knock out
blow at the rat which has cultivated a
taste for paper money. Peasants in
the commune of Soroksar, near this
city, have found the money a first
class poison.
Repeated seizures of bank deposits
recently had aroused the suspicious of
the peasants and they began boarding
their money in their cellars in prefer
ence to intrusting it to banks. The
money seems to have attracted hordes
of migrant gray rats, and it is claimed
currency having a face value of 15O,-

Many rats giving rich promise OF
futures full of depreciation died from
the effects of the coloring matter in
the money, however, and the rats are
alleged to have taken alarm and to
have left the village in a body.

chance to succeco One dispatch says
that tomorrow Charles will be back
in Budapest at the head of his army
All the interested Allied powers have
declared that they will stand by their
refusal to permit a Hapsburg to re-
turn to the Hungarian throne. but it
is impossible to say that some one
has not been tamperirg with the ma
chinery that should put force behind
this refusal.
Even if the ultmatum from Czecho-
Italy is ultimately forthcoming, it
would still not be too late for a coun-
try like France to intervene and offer
mediation.
In such a circumstance, France
would be forced into difficulties by hav-
ing the precedent established in the
case OF Constantine of Greece cited
in favor of allowing Charles to as
sumo the Hungarian throne.
The latest reports reaching Paris
from Budapest say that the peasants
as we'll as the army and officials of the
present Hungarian government are al
lied in the movement to restore
Charles. The belief in Paris is that
if plebiscite were taken on this mat
ter it would be overwhelmingly favor
able to him.
