WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE. Death strikes Garrett Folsom while 'bathing at Ocean Town, N.J. After being perfunctarily examined by a doctor, the bod Hotel Majusaca, where an inquiry is starter. Folsom's bathing companions had been Roger Neville, Mrs. Helen Bar- naby and Carmelita Valdon. It is established that Folsom, just before his death, had been standing next to Nod Barron, known as the copper ing. . Then the startli announcement is mach: that Folsom had been stabbed to death in the water. Ross, his valet, is questioned, as are Barron and wife, but no light is shed on the mys- tery. - Anastasia Folsom, eccentric and masterful sister of the dead man, ar- rives and takes command. At the in- quest it is established that the death weapon was a pichaq, an Oriental knife, and that it and its scabbard had been purchased on the boardwalk. Carmelita Valdon, who steod on the other side of Folsom at the time of his death, is unable to describe his " actions ats the time, "and the coroner seems suspicious, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.

A vanguard of about 2,000 Canadian Mennonites are now at work 'in the Paraguayan hinterland preparing the s0il and building communities for those to follow. This extraordinary migration was begun under the direc- tion and a e of Brig. 'Gen, Samu¢l McRoberts, chairman of the board of Bank, New York City, who was chief of the procurement division or the ordnance department during = the World War. "It was to him that the Mennonites in Canada turned when - they decided that the time had éome for another long trek. 'As he is quot- ed in 'the New York Evening Post, General McRoberts says: 7 "A committee of Canadian Mennon- ites came to me about five years ago, and asked me to help them find a place where they could colonize. Why they came to me, I dont know. But they described what they wanted--chiefly a place where they could lead their pastoral life and be left alone by gov- ernments and free from interference or mixture with outsiders, and I agreed to help them. "The choice of a land quickly sim- mered down to Paraghay. Asia was out of the question because of politi- cal and religious turmoil there. East- 'ern Europe would not do because of economic conditions. Africa is a Brit- ish colohy and would not suit the Men- nonites, The Mennonites wanted to get a from Canada because they are chiefly German and were unhappy there following the war. So I sent Mr. Fred Engen, an experiénced col- lonist, to Paraguay, and he found al- most exactly what the Mennonites were seeking." Under 'the colonization plan which now has been in progress for five years, we read further, the Mennon- ites will sell their present holdings in Canada and settle on 8,000,000 acres of fertile land in the upper Para- nuayan ctaco the Indian name for wilderness--ahout 1,700 miles Bueno§ "Aires. The land belongs: to the Carlos Gasado family, which owns a total of 7,000,000 acres along the River Paraguay and the eastern range of the Andes. After arrange- ments had been made with the Casade family to set asida 4,000,000 of the 7,000,000 acres, and a corporation had been organized to handle the develop-| + [ment of 8,000,000 acres for the Men- "| nonites, Mr..
