GERMANS GIVE
 NEW VERSION OF
 EX-CzAR'S FATE

New York. July 31-The latest version of the fate of tho Czar of Russia and his family comes from German sources. 'rThe London Daily Telegraph refers to a recent report that the Czarina was still alive, which was given out on the authority of her brother, the Grand Duke oS Hess. However, the ''Deutsche Allge- meine Zeitung." which Is still the special organ of the German Foreign Office puts forward as proof that the entire Russian Imperial family was murdered, the following extract from an "authentic Moscow secret report:'
 Czar Nicholas was taken with his family to subterranean drinking shop, and there the members of the Imperial family were killed by revol- yer shots The Czar himself Is said to have been very excited before his death, and to have abused the mur- derers. The heir to the throne. Alexis required whole series of bull lets-no fewer than seven-before his pulse no longer beat and the convul- sions of his body ceased,
 sThe Czarina was compose After the first bullet she fell, but she at stretched her hands upward, and cried. God has worked a miracle. and shall live.' With derisive shouts the murderers fired further bullets into her body.
 ssThe Czar's body was packed in a case, taken to Moscow, placed in the Krem1in there, certified by trust worthy Communist leaders, as the possibility of a mistake in identity was feared, and then burnt in a stove, The leader of the murderers was Belosolovoff, the head of the Ekater- inburg, Perm, and Viatra Special Commission, Even in Bolshevik cir cies the facts were kept strictly se- cret, and only a very small section had knowledge of them.
 While the German secret service at that time undoubtedly possessed spe- cial facilities for asoertaiping what was happening in Russia. it is notice able that the above version differs in essential particulars from what had previously seemed to be the best au- thenticated accounts of the 1nurds1er of the Russian Imperial family.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN"


Somebody in the New England tele-
phone organization has been figuring
out how easily PAM Revere could have
accomplished all the purposes Of his
famous ride on the eighteenth Of
April. IN 'seventy-nve," II hs~only had
had telephone facilities like those
available today. A. the telephone man
says, Revere would have been able to
save himself lot Of hard riding. He
could have called Concord from a pub
lie station In the North end, or Charles
town either, and had his friends Of the
committee Of public safety on the line
within eight minutes, If the operators
took as much time then as they do
now. And how much easier 1t would
have been to get the powder buried
and the gun carriages done away with
If the Concord folk had had their
warning eight minutes after the Ian
terms were hung aloft in the belfry

II there had been telephones, there
would have been no lanterns. They
would have used the phone for the
whole thing. And then of course a
famous poem would never have been
written.-Christian Science Monitor.

supplying the fowls with all available
table scraps it will usually cost from
% to 70 cents a year per fowl for
grain and other feeds. A good egg
laying ration should consist of the
following: Three parts corn meal and
one part beef scrap mixed together
and fed in dry-mash hopper to which
the fowls will have access at all times.
In addition to this a scratch ration
consisting Of equal parts cracked corn
and oats should be fed twice daily.
When no table scraps are available It
will take about one quart Of scratch
grain daily for twelve to fourteen
fowls. However, this can be reduced
when table scraps are fed and a Ger
tain amount Of natural green feed,
such rs grass, is available.
In providing the fowls with q suit
able house it should be remembered
that the essentials Of such building
are fresh air. dryness. sunlight and
sufficient space so that the fowls will
not be crowded. Usually each fowl
should be allowed four square feet of
floor space. II available, scrap lum-
Der from dry-goods boxes, etc, can be

cost will be considerably less than

ctent lumber is not available for the

covered with ordinary roofing or tar
paper will answer the immediate
needs.
When the heavier fowls plymouth

be disposed Of at the end Of their sec
ond year, inasmuch as In most cases
they will cease to be profitable at the
end Of that time. The lighter breeds

itably kept as long as three years. BY
disposing Of the hens in this way a
part of the flock must be renewed each
year. Consequently, considering that
the percentage Of cockerels and pullets
Is usually about the same, and that
a certain percentage will die before
reaching maturity. 1t is customary to
hatch more chicks each year than
there are hens in the flock.
