try until Italy fires the first gun or
the emperor is informed officially
that the League of Nations has fail-

the pistol wound the night Doc-

like a fresh abrasion but was not
bleeding, and said he did not know
what caused it.
The doctor said it could have
been caused by any contact with
a hard surface, and Attorney Gen-
