Though this mur- der was committed in Valencia, there seeing little doubt that, the extremists of Barcelona, the men who con- sStantly meet in secret session to de- cree the death of those In their path, were responsible for it. And while groups still meet on every street to comment on the dastardly shooting of Count Salvatierra, ex- o ona, his wife and young _ sister-in-law, a Madrid news- paper is causing a sensation by its revelations concerning the notorious “Baron Koenig’ and his “black band” of satellites, who, it is alleged, Were employed’ by the Barcelona authorities to fight syndicalists, and instituted a reign of terror by their Negal and ruthless methods, among which murder was quite as ordinary a thing as it is to the syndicalists whu constantly employ it against their enemies. In the attack on Count Salvatierra, his wife, and his sister-in-law, the Marchioness of Tejares, Spanish syn- dicalisls have for the first time in- cluded innocent women among the victims of their hired gunmen, says the foreign correspondent of the New York Evening Post. The count, who had received warnings that his life was in danger, was driving on the avenue between Valencia and El Grao, when a group of men suddenly stepped before the carriage and opened fire with revolvers. The coachman whipped up his horses and drove frantically towards Valen- cia. Near the city he hailed a pass- ing automobile and begged its occu- pants to take those in the carriage to the nearest hospital, which they did. On arrival at the hospital it was found that the young marchion- ess was dead, the count dying and his wife in a eritical condition. The count died a few hours later. _ Close on the heels of the Salva- tierra murder comes the revelation of La Tribuma of Madrid regarding “Baron Koenig" and his henchmen, “Baron Koenig,” the hero of-a de- tective story of real life, a ‘Prus- sian who was expelled from Spain n few weeks ago. He is a native of otsdam, Prussia, and was at one time a waiter and iatey praprietor of a bar in Brussels. Having sold his bar Wis adventurotts digpositién asserted itself and he devoted him- self to living by his wits in the twi- light zone of crime and baffling the police of various countries when his activities brought him into conflict with the law. Eventually he gravi- tated to Barcelona and secured an introduction to Bravo Portillo, chief of police there, who took him into his employ as an assistant against the syndicalists., Bravo Portillo was s00n inurdered, his assassination hav- ing held first place among the sensa- tional crimes of the Barcelona ex- tremists until eclipsed the other day by the attack on Count Salvatierra. The-‘‘baron” then took command of the band of men who had been work- ing under the orders of Bravo Por- tillo and under him they were spur- red on to such a pitch of violence that they became celebrated as the “black band.” From the fate which'befell some of the members of the band it is easily seen that whatever the crimes of the “black band" may have been, their ayndicalist foes gave them tt for tai, and made their lives while they worked for the “baron” hardly worth a nickel. No fewer than five men, including Bravo Portillo,- were killed as a result of the deeds of the “black band.” The Barcelona chief of peclice was shot in broad daylight on one of the streets of the city. Anoth®r man, pierced by ten bullets, fell within a stone's throw of Las Ramblas, Another, ten days after becoming a member of the band, was shot to death on the street. A fourth while walking in broad day- light was jattacked and killed. And an individual of; unsavory record nicknamed “= Mallorquin,” who sucveeded in getting out of Barce- too hot for - and taking ship for America, was murdered on the high seas. Several others, including the ‘‘baron" himuelf, were attacked with murder- ous intent, but managed to escape alive from their assailants, The Madrid newspaper gives as- tonishing details of man-hunts en- gaged in by “Koenig” and his asso- tintes. of which the victims were Barcelona workmen. On one of these | orcasions, the “baron” himself, re- volver in hand, is said to have led the chase agaimst a man who walking on the street with his moth- er. When they overtook him the mother threw herself in front of her son, crying, “Shoot, coward, if you dare.” The “baron” decided not to shoot. Another accusation is to the effect that a woman who insisted that she had seen one of ‘ihe. “baron's" murderous attacks on workmen, asked to be allowed to testify, and was not allowed to do so by the authorities, who were desir- “ (Contributed by aoe rt t of eh cea N_ penning this short article the points in regard to thie. eubject, - first, the need aid importance of, securing an adequate and permanent supply, and, second, the installation of suitable equipment for getting the water “on tap” in house and stables and about the lawns and) gardens. - In regard to the supply of drinking or hard water, it may be said that of late many of the old shallow wells ‘of the Province have been failing ser-. iously, thus indicating that the water- table is not as high as it used to be. t is to be hoped that this Is only a mporary condition and that many of these wells will soon become ser- viceable again. However, the shallow well can seldom be relied upon abso- Jutely, and so as a rule it is wise to sink such wells deeper. This usually means drilling. Sometimes there is good reason for abandoning the old well altogether and choosing a new site. A careful survey of the existing wells of the district im respect to depth, supply and character of the water will usually prove useful in re- gard to the advisability of drilling, also'a krowledge of the nature, depth and dip of the underlying strata or rock formation may help too. Instru- ments for locating underground water, so far as our experience goes, have not been a success in this Pro- vince, although much is claimed for them in some other countries differ- widely from Ontario in geological formation. Some individuals claim that they can locate underground water by means of a forked twig from such trees as cherry, plum, and hazel, and because we have known good wells to be found in this way, and because prominent scientists have given the matter considerable atten- tion in recent years, we are not in- ethene to pooh-pooh the idea. In ome cases old wells go dry because the water veins feeding the well have [become clogged. If so, a charge of dynamite in the bottom will effect a remedy. Sometimes an old dug well will supply plenty of water for all time if it is dug a few feet deeper, or if the formation is sandy or grav- elly (fine) for some depth below the bottom a special filter may be sunk into a water-bearing layer of sand or gravel with good results. It is well to emphasize the value of a good spring. If one exists reasonably close to the buildings it may be made to supply them with water if certain condition obtain. In every farm home there should be a large cistern either in the cellar or just outside the cellar wall and beluw the ground for stor- age of rain water. This water can be used for washing purposes, bathing and flushing the closet. A large cis- tern at the barn and connected with the eave-troughing thereon, will sup- ply a large portion of the drinking water for the stock in the rainy per- iods. It is very essential that the supply be ample and never failing, and when this is assured steps may be }confidentially taken to install water systems in order to have the water , the dis- tribution of the water supply, is a very big one, and one about which a good deal might be written. will permit only the very briefest treatment, but if more details are re quired write the Department of Agri- cdltars, Toronto, Ontario, for Bul- letin No. 267, entitled “The Farm Water Supply and Sewage Disposal," or the Department of Ph » O.

He now ad- mits that it is a failure, and that” Bolshevism is ‘internally aristocratic and externally militant.”, He found that a party numbering. not more than 600,000 has imposed its wil) upon fhe Russian population, which is about 120,000,000. Nevertheless, he does not believe that Bolshevism in Russia is about to be, destreyed. His‘ conviction is that the Russian people are not now ready for any form of real democratic govern- ment,nor will they be- for years. The government that Lenine and Trotzky have forced upon them is. he believes, necessary, and is to be regarded as we would regard a re- vival of the government of Peter the reat, not as a modern experiment that is likely to prove useful to the m rest of the world. We gather from Mr. Russell's ar- ticle, which appears in the Nation, that there is rather less real freedom in Russia pow than there was tefore the war, and that the chief difference lios in the fact that instead of Czar Nicholas and his advisers, Russia has the twin czars, Lenine and Trotzky. Under Nicholas the Douma was a cioser approach to the machinery of self-government than the Soviets. There is also the difference that un- der the czar most of Russia was own- ed by a comparatively few land own- ers. Now the agricultural Jand is djvideri among the peasants. But the Russian farmers, though probably bette: fed than before, are yet un- able to get more than a bare living. When they want to sell their surplus in the towns they are offered money which they know to be worthless, but which they have to accept. Neverthe- less, they ure raising as smal] a sur- plus as possible, and Mr. Russell finds the result in the large cities where “underfeeding is nearly universal." Unless Russia can resume her trade with the rest of the world, the Rus- sian peasants are likely to raise less | and less food, and starvation may threaten. It then will be the duty of Lenine and Trotzky to inaugurate a new reign of terror to force the farmers to feed the nation. There is less free speech in Russia than ever before; it Is less possible for public ‘grievances to be published. Under the cMarists, there were inde- pendent and radical papers, even though they were censored and fre- quently suppressed. Therg were voices like those of Tolstoi's and Gorky's, er¥ing against the misery of the comflron people. To-day, not only ali the newspapers, but all the printing, and all the public halls are pwned or controlled by the Commun- ists, 80 th there is no way for a man to address any large number of people. Ii is impossible for anyone to get a general hearing if he’ pro- tests against the existing regime. All voting for Soviet candidates is done by show of hands, so ‘that anyone daring to vote against a government candidate would be an easily marked Man. In recent Moscow elections, the opposition party, called the Menshe- viki, won forty seats out of 1,530, because the catididates were known in certain large factories where the electoral campaign could. be carried on by word of mouth. In‘all his chance encousttefl, Mr. Rursell never encountered anyone who was admittedly a Communist. ng the ordinary crowas of peo- ple they appearéd as scarce as ve tarians would be with ub. Yet, as re- lated, all power is in their hands. ¢ Communist party, or rather that part of it that governs Russia, is divisible into three classes. first. place there are the old revolu- Uonists, tested by years of perdecu- They are tough and fanatical and rather out of touch with their own country, They hold most of the high posts.
