The fatal shooting of that elderly
hunter in Townshend, apparently
through the criminal carelessness of
some other hunter, should be followed
up by the authorities until the offender
is brought to light or until the investi-
gators are thoroughly convinced there
is no chance to solve the mystery The
circumstances surrounding the shooting
of the man were apparently such as
have been warned about time after
time--the fool-headed use of firearms
whenever anything moving has been
seen, with an investigation of the ma
ture of the object afterwards.

Cabrera is quoted by the newspaper as saving in the interview.

DEATH OF q REL REGIMENT
FROM SOVIET RUSSIA

The strongly ti-BoIshevist Jewish daily, Der Tag. in it's issue of Sep tember :, publishes a letter from it's Copenhagen correspondent, lIr. N Shiffrin, in which the latter Reports his interview with the editor of the m.I- itary paper of the Russian counter revolutionary Northern army who came to Copenhagen from the front. The editor began with stories about Red atrocities" but admitted that all these stories were based on what he had heard from others and not on his own observations. The coIre- SpOndent then asked him to relate his personal experience and observations at the front. This request was met at first with surprise and suspicion: But 1 could only see how We treated the Reds!" MT. Shiffrin was, never theless, interested in the actual expe- rience of the editor, and the Iatter's reluctance was overcome by the cor respondents introductory card from an tnH-BoIshevist friend of the ed stoT. MT Shifrin assures the readers that he quotes the gruesome story that followed literally, word by word, as 1t was told by the editor.
 AS you know, the BoIshevifi changed the names of the old regi- ments- The Moscow troops have on their shouIder-straps the initials of the martyr Karl Liehkr echt. We cap tured one of the Karl Liebknecht reg iments, and they were tried.

 q remember the first thought that came to my mind: it must be painful to press the cold iron of the Dick-axe with ones naked feet It must cut into flesh.
 Tt took some time before the Communists had dug out their own graves. After digging for a quarter of an hour the depth of only half a meter was reached.
 My fingers accidentally touch my suit. I feel that my clothes are thoroughly wet from the dew which is falling like a mild drizzIe. The grass is covered with heavy drops.
