Pari-., I'd). 22. There is still
no definite indication Hint the
shooting of 1 Vendor Clomeneoau
was anything l)iit the act of an
Volated lunatic, I nit tin.' police
ro anxious to ascertain to what
.sort of propaganda Finite Cotton
was exposed to. Vast quanti
ties of papers have been seized
and one arrest has been made
to which the police evidently at
tach some importance. The man
arrested is Henry Contant, sec
retary of the communist federa
tion, but there is no suggestion
that he was directly concerned
in Cotton's ci ime.
The police have for some time
been investigating llolshovist
literature circulating in Paris
and in industrial towns in the
provinces. Today they evident
ly have taken the opportunity of
searching for any trace of a plot
to carry on a parallel in Russian
tildes which are supported of
Holshevist propaganda. In me
printing establishment which
they raided they are letortcd to
have discovered Ilolshevist gov
ernment proclamations in type.
While mo.t of tin individuals
who have received the attention
of the police are atiarchi-ts of
Russian origin, there was one
member, and a prominent mem
ber of the socialist party, whose
house was searched a:"d the so
cialist pre;s Is hij'hly indignant'
over the whole proceeding. It
accepts philosophic ally that Rus
sian anarchists should be wot
ried ly riotnicilary visit to
which indeed they mu-t be fair
ly well accustomed. "P.ut." says!
Ramnite "Never hitherto has a
member of the socialist party
Ven disturU'd. It is a scandal
against which we protest with
al our might."
It is inevitable that a c i imc
such as that 'f Cotton should be
full. ism-I by polic" li.i .lsuie.s
which may not nlway If eiree
tive but which nevertheless aiei
very nfe.sai. It is very im
probable in the course nf these,
operations in avoid hinting the

Mt'Cll POOD IN POLAND.
Paris Feb. 'J2. In r.pite of an
noying efforts by the (lornians
to hinder the provisioning of
Poland, the supreme food and
ivliel counril has landed three
shiploads of food in P.uuig and
sent the food by railway to War
saw, where it is now Iwing dis
tributed under allied control.
According to Dr. Vernon Kell
ogg, an American member of the
supreme relief council, v ho has
just returned to Paris from Po
land, the Cermans did not dare
to olfer serious opposition to
the shipments through Gorman
territory and over Herman rail
ways to Poland, but minor offi
cials complained bitterly and ob
jected that Hermany should be
fed before Poland. However,
the American navy provided the
food ships and manned them
with naval officers, so the Her
mans were afraid to interfere,
as it would have been a viola
tion of the terms of the armis
tice. Ib. Kellogg says that food
conditions are worse in Crar-ow
and the mining distiicts of
South Poland, to which five cars
of milk and four carolads of
mixed foodstuffs are U'ing rush
ed from Switzerland to afford
immediate relief. The avenue.-,
for tin- sending of food into
Poland are now clear and seven
additional shiploads are on the
way frori the I'nited States.
