it's efforts to restore order through
out Germany. The situation in the
Rhine provinces is Quieting, officials
said.
Reports OF an impending new
coup in Berlin are denied.
Reliable estimates place the total
of the dead in disorders since March
13, the day Won Kapp seized power,
from 1000 to 5000, with a similar
number of wounded. The financial
cost of the disorders can only be
reckoned in millions Of marks, ex-
perts agree.
The wrath of the public centers on
General Ludendorff. He is bitterly
attacked in the press and by the
people generally The people be-
lieve Ludendorff played the leading
part in@the entire Won Knapp plot.
A survey of the economic situa-
tion showed the disorders had re-
suited in great damage throughout
Germany. Railway service is crippled
and the potash and coal mines were
neglected..

laying the blame for the Won kapp

that the Baltic troops which fur
nishcl the military background for
the Won Kapp revolt had forced
Germany to permit the recalcitrant
Baltic troops to return to Germany
after they were virtually under the
anti-Bolsheyik Russian cOlors.
David declared Germany and its
people disowncd the Baltic brigade,
and said they had been branded as

charged that the allied peace conn

Bilbao Offers opportunlties.

Bilbao is said to be the wealthiest
city in Spain, the wealthiest Of its size
In Europe. This is due to its large
deposits of iron ore and their close
proximity to tidewater. The province
In which it is situated has proven ore
fields of more than 1000 acres and
more than 1900 acres are not yet de-
veloped. The ore is rich In iron, prac-
tically free from phosphorus and Is
easily worked-what Is known In this
country as a scraper proposition. The
great war has vastly increased the
capitalization of the concerns operat-
ing there and the banks of Bilbao have
deposits of 1854, 7SS,719, apart from the
resources of the Bank of Spain and
branches of other powerful banks. The
field for development is great, the cap
ltalists are progressive. labor is cheap.
Spain has remained neutral in the war,
though no friend Of Germany. and 1t
is thought the Bilbao iron fields will
offer an attractive sphere for American
engineering talent and American cap

Farm Gardens.

The farm garden idea did not start
with our entry into the war, but had
its inception in 1914. when the Wom-
ems Farm Gardens association was
formed. At first the association bus
led itself to obtain positions for women
in farm and garden work. After we
got into the war and the dangers of a
food shortage threatened, the associ-
alton began work along the lines Of the
department Of agriculture in England,
which encouraged the filling Of small
pieces Of land. going so far as to give
ont allotments to those who will till
them. The boy scouts and other bod
ies have done much this year along

1t is now located at Carey ana
Baker Streets, Baltimore, and the
buildings as well as the location are
WIDELY unsuitable for their pur-
poses. There are now cared for
nearly 100 girls committed to the
institution by the courts. If these
are to receive the care and attention
required to wean them from an UNI

Governor Ritchie's attention has
been directed to the Importance OF
making the environment more at
tractive if satisfactory results are to
be obtained, and he has promised to
give the matter consideration.
A Reformatory, situated as is the
