PAKIS, Feb. 20. Prcinicr Oleineiifioau's own
'story of .the attack upon hiitl iih lie told it to pallors is
pivon in Jtho Matin today as follows:
."Yesterday when I was passing that spot at the
porner of. J he- Boulevard Dclessert, I remarked a
strange silhouetted figure upon the pavement show
ing someone examining me attentively. The silhouette
was that.df a rather .evil-looking man. T said to my
self Mtellbj that fellow is up to no good.' This morn
ing at filename spot f perceived the same silhouette
and imnK;iately thought 'why, that's the same fel
low.' , 'i v- v. e-
"I liadlt't time to continue the reflection, for the
individuals arm was raised, revolver in hand and lie
aimed at the door of the automobile and hit the -window.
I didn't reflect that there were perhaps other
bullets in the revolver," and as soon as the first shot
was fti'od 1 leaned forward to see. Other shots fol
lowed rapidly, one after another, and I felt a sharp
pain low down the back of my neck. The pain was so
intense that could not help crying tint; I realized
perfectly that I had been hit."
""What followed," continued the premier, "passed
with lightning-like rapidity. - The orderly seated be
side tho ehaffenr on the front of the automobile had
at the first shot, pulled his revolver out of his pocket.
The chauffeur at the same time put on speed and got
ns out of range. Then he turned and brought me back
' home Xow I feel absolutely nothing. .,
" The premier paused here and then added sarcas
tically: . . : , ; V . ,:
"My advcrsaries.aro really poor shots. They are
exceedingly clumsy." . ;j .'
To Stephen Piehon, the'foVeign minister, he saidr
"Am I not. a good prophet! 'Do I.not arrange
jthiiigs ahead! I had arranged to have no meeting
of the ertnference todav so that I could get a little rest.
"Well, I've got it."; ' : :

PAR.IS, Fell. 20. Good news came
early this morning from the sick

he is being attended for the wounds
Inflicted unon him yesterday by the
anarchist. Emtle Cottin who attempt
ed to assassinate the French premier.
The announcement was mad that
the aged statesman was resting com

ed. 'Xothlng definite, however, can he
known ns to what the results of the
premier's Injuries are likely to be
until an X-ray examination ot the
wound taken this morning is examin
ed by the doctors. The wound in it
self is slight but necessarily serious
for a man as old as Is tre French
prime-minister.
Young for His Ago ,
The physicians, however, say that
his heart and arteries are young and
that he has been a life-long abstain
er from alcoholic drinks, has' not
smoked for 20 years, and that he has
followed a careful rule of living. This
has resulted In making him an extra
ordinarily vigorous man for his years
one who has triumphed over the
usual ills to which old age Is subject,
while as a stimulant toward his re
covery he has the knowledge ot the
heartfelt sympathy and good wishes
of his own and every civilized coun
try. Premier Clemenceau not so very
long ago used to say that he did not
believe he had a real friend In
Rrance. It he still cherished that
belief after the victory over the Ger
mans It would seem that he can no
longer do so, for this morning's Paris
newspapers are a unit in expressing
sympathy tor -and praise of the
