Entering the farm' house
where he was employed. Jack
Bielde. 37. believed to be mental
ly deranged, calmly stated that
he had decided to leave."
He bade the family goodbye,
seated himself in a chair and be
fore anyone could interfere, pulled
a .38 calibre revolver from f his
pocket and fired a bullet into his
left side. The charge passed
completely through his body,
slightly below the heart. Bfelde
is. in a local hospital where1 it is
said he will probably recoveT,
Bielde wam employed on the
Honkola farm in the Fruitland
district and had also been doing
work for other people In the
neighborhood, although ni partic
ular attention had been directed
towards him. Several days ago,'
however, he declared he was not
feeling well and declined to sleep
In the house, saying he "thought
he would go out' to the barn and
d4e in the hay."
No particular significance was
attached to the remark although
Bielde is said at the time to have
attempted to .secure a bottle of
carbolic acid.
After turning the revolver on
himself last night, Bielde flew in
to a rage when he found that his
wound had not proved fatal. "Just
give me time," he cried. "Just as
soon as I'm able to handle a gun
better I'll do.lt again and I won't
miss like I did this time." V
No vital .organs were touched
by the bullet in Its. flight through
the man's body and Bielde did not
appear to .be In danger from the
wound. After! the. flow of blood
had been stopped he drank .sev
eral cups of coffee and protested,
vigorously when forced to remain
still. The bullet buried itself in a
window sill after passing through
his body. , . ' L

COLOGNE. Jan. 2. (By Assor

today surpassed all flood records,
being 31 inches above the high
est water mark. A fall of a cou
ple of inches last night raised
hopes, but during the. night an
enormous volume of water coming
(town stream turned these hopes
Into despair' as the field of dam;
age widened.
Many of the lighter structures
along the, embankment have been
swept away and the' heavy pon
toons for mooring passenger boats
are canting at a perilous angle
owing to their short mooring
chains and ropes. "Should they be
swept away they will do great
damage by crashing into houses
on their way downstream, as at
some of these places" the floods
have reached the third floors.
From all parts of the Rhine, up
and down stream, the same tale
is forthcoming of flooded villages,
suspended railway services and
disaster. Today is a general holi
day and the people are spending
their time sadly watching the
swirling flood spotted with debris
and household effects. Cologne

Some estimates place the losses
around Liege at twenty million
francs. Ten thousand bouses .are
isolated and the residents have
have been blocked' in for three
days. One hundred thousand ra

King Albert and" his ministers per
sonally supervising this7 work.
The train service in central Bel
glum is paralysed, great numbers
of cattle have perhfhed and the
flax harvest has been partly swept
away by the flooding of; the Lys.
A slight fall was observed in the
Meuse at Liege but ran set in
again this afternoon and the' Wat

The extent of the floods through
