LONDON, Feb. 12.-The decisive end
of Anarchist Vaillant's career by the
guillotinc process on Monday was not
SO effective in sitting the activity of
his living confreres as the French gov.
ernment hoped it would be. The exc
cution of the venturesome enemy of
society seems to have. stirred up the
reds" all over Europe, and here in
London as we'll. They have not fur
nished any forcible manifestation of
their displeasure at the commendable
precipitancy of the government in cut
ting off M. Naillaint's head, it is true,
but they have not permitted the
authorities to imagine for an instant
that they have given up their unequal
warfare against social evils, as they
view them.

and the petit bourgeoisie, or citizens Of
the reputable and prosperous middle
class, who have become the particular
prey of anarchists, were denounced in
scathing terms as being responsible for

Investigations by the police have re-

before them, as they are learning in at

horde of bomb-throwers and dynamit-
ers. A socialist newspaper asserts that

history. and declares they are thor.

and systematic warfare upon society.
In contrast to this statement is Il re-
