At the time of the attempted assas

conference with CoL Edward M. House,

Thougli bleeding profusely, M. Clemen
eestt was able to return to his home,
where be reassured the members of Ms
liotisehold and wtved aside anxious in
quircrs with) "It is nothing." Latest
reports from his attendants were that
his condition was satisfactory and that
lie was cheerful throughout the day de
spite occasional flts of coughing.
1'or the present it has been decided
by the surgeons thai extraction .of the
bullet may not be necessary and ar
rangement have been made - to take
radiographs of the injured parts.
Cot tin, whom the police believed to
be a aomewhat harmless person associat
ing with anarchists and aiding in their
propaganda, declared that he had, plan

Accordlng to- the first examination
the Premier's assailant, Emile Cottin,
generally called 'Milou," was born at
Creil (.12 miles north of Paris) in 1809.
He is French.-He. has done no mili
tary service, havikg been excused owing
- to the state of Jiis Jiealth. He lived
with his fsmilv st Comniens until thev
removed to Paris, where he worked as a
- carpenter.
Cottin declares Rhnself to be "a soil
' tary and scientific anarchist."
After emporary aid had been-given
M...ClemenceaoL Professors. Oossct jnd
lisstlly summoned and had a hurried
consultation. They decided upon a
J x-ray examination.
Oae of the surgeons" said perhaps It
' would not be necessary te remove the
buDet, as no bones were shattered and
so important blood .vessel had been
touched, although the wound waa quite
' deep and bled profusely. ' i
Upon emerging front his ear SI. Clem.
' eneesn passed his wounded hsnd over
his face, leaving the face smeared with
blood, and this was the reason for the
first report that he had been wounded
.in the head. ,

o'clock and later was joined by, Marshal

high tribute to Premier Clemeneean la
a speech which ho made today at a
luncheon at the Mansion House en the
subject of demobiliration and the army
of occupation. "
"Before we some to the "business
which forms the reason for this gate
ering," he said, "I am sure you would
wish me to expv at sentiments . which
everyone feels, of detestation against
the outrage attempted upon Premier
Clemeneean by. some vile hand, and our
great satisfaction aad relief that so far
siy we are at present informed, ha is in
as v a ivua uen-sa
The-object f the meetlne, mid Mr.
Churchill, was to ask the employers
throughout the country to do their best
sow to reassure the men retained in the
army that their places would be kept
open for them.
We are letting go three ent of every
fonr serving with the colors on Novem
ber 11 last year, . when the . fighting
stopped, and we are paying the fourth
man double to finish up the job," he
said.
"All information received goes to show
the soldiers regsrd this treatment of
the problem as essentially fair.
W e are engaged at the present time
in forming a voluntary, army to garri
son the British Empire, recreating the
eld army which served us so well
through-all the years of pesee and wss
not found, wanting when the hour of
battle came. But at least a year will be
required to form thie voluntary army.
If we disperse completely the present
compulsory army before we get a volun
tary army we should not oniarlose the
l&pire ..w"KJiorOBe .warT
should not only -be unable to discharge
eur responsibilities in.' Palestine -and
Mesopotamia and with regard to Tur
key but India, Egypt, Gibraltar, Molta
and all our great fortresses would be
left totally undefended. . -, - -
"The British people hss never failed
to do what was necesssry to safeguard
the. vital Interests of the Bute.
There is another reason why we are
required to maintain a large force la
the present year. We have just had a
war with Germany j ws hsve' spent a
great deal-of money and 'have lost
great many of our best men in winning
the" war and we are going to make sure
that we do. not have to light that war
with Uermany over again. 1
-we are going to take measures
which will make it physkallr impos
sible for Germany to begin a war of re
venge, at any rate during our life time.
We aire going to ask Germany to agree
to those measures and help . ns . carry
the mout. Aad arter she feas. agreed
we are going te stand by and see that
she does carry them out, not only id
the letter, but In the spirit. .
' "There is another reason why we re
quire to maintain an army in Uermany
for some time longer. -We are going to
make Germany pay what is rightful sad
possible in reparation of the damage she
has none.. - ,
"We are not keeping large forces te
fight in Russia; we have so intention of
sending Urge British srmies to fight Is
Buseia. - If Bute in is to be aaved, she
must be. saved by. Hum it. It must be
by Russian manhood, Russian courage,
Russian virtue that the. rescue and re
generation of this once mighty nation
this famous -branch of . the European
family can alone be achieved.
"Therefore, it is an untruthful, ma
licious statement to say tost it is neces
sary for as to prolong the action of the
military services' because of aa enter
prise which we have oa foot ia Eusiia."

The addresses by Senator Poiudexter
and Representative Fess were the first

Seaator Poindexter, in his address to
day, declared the league charter eon
fitted with 1 the constitution ' of the
United States aad meant not only sur
render of American sovereignty to Eu
ropean nations, but also abandonment
of the Monroe Doctrine. He also de
clared the lesgue plan involved a "col

Disputing Senator Poindexter s state
ment thst this was the first time suay
