Band of Anarchists
Crushed After Reign of
Terror in HeIsingfors

Helsingfors, Finland, June % de
lcyed) This city has been relieved
from the threat of regime of terror
under Jean Boldt, an anarchist leader,
who had lately risen TO power and
gathered about him group of follow
ers comprising anti-religious manlacs,,
pickpockets and other professional
criminals lately released from jail.
After a series of incendiary speeches
Boldt. followed by four hundred rogues,
raided the Nicholas Cathedral in the
middle Of a service being conducted
there, declared the building captured
and turned into temple OF the poor.
One OF Boldt's followers, an unfrocked
priest, stepped into the pulpit and
preached a blasphemous. violent ser
mon on the history of religious shams:
Early the next morning a hundred
m:litiamen stormed the cathedral and,
despite Boldt's appeals TO his follow
ers to massacre them. defeated the
criminals in a handto-hand struggle
during which there was considerable
shooting, and two OF the militlamen
were wounded. The cathedral was seri-
ously damaged, its doors being entirely
destroyed
Boldt escaped. He is believed to have
left the city surreptitiously, the towns
people having threatened to lynch him.

artillery"

their union with Russia in the struggle

Germany to Censor
Discussions Of All
Public Questions
New Military Regulation Is in
Interest Of Pan-Cermans,
Radicals Charge

Copenhagen, June 24.-The military
authorities in various parts of Ger
many publish orders that all brochures.
leaflets and the like, in which ques-
tons of public interest are discussed,
must be reported to the military au-
thorities before publication or distri-
button.
The measure, which appears to be
general throughout Germany. was de-
scribed by the Progressive member of
the Reichstag, Herr Haussmann, in a
speech in the Wurtemberg Diet Fri
day as complete innovation in the
press law, based on military might.
He called attention TO the immense
sums Of money being spent by pan-Ger-
mans in brochures, newspaper agita-
ton and the purchase of the Berlin
"Lokal Anzeiger," and asked who was
furnishing the funds.
Herr Haussmann said he believed
the new military censorship might
possibly be applied TO curbing the ex-
cesses of the pan Germans, but it was
doubtful whether it would be enforced
against the annexationist propaganda
material which was daily sent to the
German newspapers through the War
Press Bureau, which is under the di-
rect control of General Won Ludendorfr
first quartermaster general.
The "Tageblatt" and other radical
newspapers have called attention to
the fact that articles and comment
from the home and foreign press cir
culated through this bureau are all in
the interest of the so-called German
or iIindenburg peace, and that the
writer's of other schools find no chance
to exploit their articles in the daily
press reviews.

Copenhagen, June Pituitary Ger
many long ago introduced card cata-
logue system for men and livestock.
Every human male and every horse and
beast Of burden was examined in peace
time to determine suitability for mill
tary service and was indexed and cross
indexed so as to be Immediately avail
able at a desired place.
The system is now about TO be ex-
tended to agricultural food products
and applied 10 the harvest of 1917
Orders have been issued at Berlin to
begin giant card catalogue, in which
all grains on the stalk, potatoes still
in the ground, the fruit on the trees
and other products will be entered, to-
gether with details Of acreage, the
number of individuals and livestock on
each farm and the amount of food and
fodder the farmer is entitled TO retain
for all purposes.
This will be followed by regular re-
ports through all stages of growth,
harvest, and delivery through the
hands Of the wholesaler, the miller and
the retailer to the ultimate consumer.
The reports will be checked up when
considered necessary by test Of
thrashings and examinations.
The system is introduced at the in
stance Of the Prussian Food Commits
sioner, DR.. Michaelis, not only for the
purpose of furnishing the government
with information on the food supply
and to avoid erroneous estimates, such
as proved nearly catastrophe this
spring, but also TO prevent the agri-
culturst from feeding potatoes and
grain, counted upon as rations for the
people, to his cattle, pigs and draught
animals.
Special dispatches from Christiania
say that DR.. Michaelis is about to be
replaced. The dispatch adds that he
probably will be succeeded by Admiral
Paul Won Hintze, former German Min
lister to Mexico and China.

WHEN HEART ACTION STOPS
Not Always Easy to Assign Reason
for That Particular Form of
Life's Ending.

Departments of health and medical
nize heart failure as definite cause
of death for their mortality lists, the
term having come to be ready refuge
for ignorant or indolent physicians
looking for an easy explanation of an
unexpected death. There seem, how
ever to be some cases left in which the
expression finds proper place and
supplies a lacuna in present-day med
ical knowledge.
Occasionally there is apparently no
good reason in the heart condition to
expect that it may suddenly cease its
activity, and yet it actually stops. APP
parently the effect of even some slight
irritation becomes so multiplied in
heart tissues as to bring about
definite disturbance or rhythm, and
cardiac action ceases for good and all.
Not infrequently such cases come to
climax shortly after food has been
taken into the stomach; then there
seems to be some connection between
the gastric condition and the sudden
heart stoppage.
Long ago DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
suggested that the angel Of life sets
this living pendulum going and that it
goes on and on until the angel of death
breaks into the case and rudely stops
1t. The expression is highly figura-
tive and yet contains in it the germ of
the thought that sometimes life's pro-
cesses seem to have approached
terminus, which they may reach unex-
pectedly as the result Of some irrita-
ton that would in itself, presumably,
not be sufficient to produce any such
far-reaching effect.-New York Her
