Last Sunday night an attempt was made upon the life
of Dr. Seipel, the Austrian Chancellor. Dr. Seipel was leaving a railway station when a young man fired three shots at him, one of which wounded him dangerously in the chest. The would-be assassin then turned the revolver on himself, and fell also wounded in the chest. Universal sympathy is expressed with the Chancellor. It was his policy which saved Austria and made it possible for the League of Nations to provide that financial help which has been so wonderfully successful. The Austrian Socialists in conference have denounced the deed of Karl Jaborik, who fired the shot. Herr Frederich Adler, who assassinated Stiirke, was present at the conference, and assented to the sentiment that now that absolutism had been done away with there was no place for murder. * * * *
