CATHEDRAL OF ST IsAAcs ST. PETERSBURG

and again. But it was no use. The west
wind. sharp and tingling, and the zero
weather proved too much for u.s. and at
last we were hopolessly entangled in the
ice foe and could neither go forward or
back out The ice piled up high about the
hull and sides and the heroic efforts of
the captain and crew to cut a channel were
unavailing.
1t was a scene Of wild grandeur and arc
tic desOlatiOn. The great hummocks and
tables of ice ground together and tilted
up by the tide and wind looked as though
an army of giants had been playing with
the contents of a hundred ice houses. cast
ing these great blocks hither and thither
in the widest confusion. Families of arc
tic seals played here and there without
fear and within a few yards of our ice
breaker. They usually consisted of the
father and mother and one two yellow
ish baby seals, and each family seemed
to keep strictly by itself in it's own icy
compound, occasionally tumbling through
an air hole into the water.
At length, after having been Embedded In
the ice for more than twenty-four hours
the big ice breaker Sampo (Sampson) came
to our relief from the Finnish Shore
smashed up the ice all about her little con-
sort, and, then. steaming ahead, made a
channel for US, straight five-mile furrow
through ice two feet thick, to the port of
Hango Here we stepped ashore on Fin
nish soil or rather on Finnish snow (for in
early March the soil nearly six feet
below the snow, and l was in a country

every possible guarantee of protection and
autonomy had been given.
Like the Nations Fate.
The day that 1 reached Finland was gray
and dreary enough to typify Finland's fate.
A dull, lowering sky; a cold, sleety snow
that struck and stung ones face like bird
shot; the houses buried in snow up to their
lower story windows, the sidewalk piled
with banks of snow on either side so that
a tall man could hardly see over them-all
the elements seemed to tell of Finland S
helplessness in the grasp of cold, I'M

Even the people looked sad and hopeless

their faces their poor country's sorrow?

was organized at Pittsburg, Pa. February

which protection to American industry
gives prosperity was the principal plank.
There are many reasons why Washing
ton should be selected the appropriate
place to perpetuate the memory of General
Fremont. 1t was here that he began his
career, and it was here that he married
the reigning belle of the old regime-Miss
Jessie Benton, daughter of Thomas A. Ben
ton. who was for thirty years a member
of the United States Senate.

ment in this matter is beyond belief. Fin

loyal, contented and happy as this before
the new laws were proposed and the old
constitution, guaranteed by the most sacred
treaties, abrogated.

nation founded a new empire on the Pa

to sea.
Behind the movement for A monument to
General Fremont is a national organiza-
ton known as the National Fremont Assoc
citation, with headquarters in Pittsburg.
This association has adopted resolutions
indorsng the project and urging Congress
to take action on the bill Of Representa-
tive Daizell to the end that monument
may be erected in this city to his memory.

Partners Through Life.

Jessie Benton married for love when she
was but sixteen, and the man of her choice
then was her partner through a long life,
and is now the idol OF her recollection.
Gen. Fremont was at that time a lieuten-
ant in the corps of typographical engineers,
and was assigned to assist in the geograph-
ical survey of the sources Of the Mississippi.
Soon after his marriage he commenced a
series of explorations which led him event
ually to the Pacific, and on this expedition
his young wife accompanied him. Later he
was placed at the head Of the great eX-
petition which was sent to explore the
great northwest. In 1917, when the MeNi-
can-Californans capitulated, he was the
real representative OF the government in
power.
General Fremont was elected to the
United States Senate from the first Cali
fornia legislature. and during his stay in
that body he was a fearless champion OF
statehood.
Mrs. Fremont was educated in the
Georgetown Convent. She has Travelled
much. She was presented at Queen Vic
toria's court when that famous sovereign
was in the days of her youth. She was also
a witness to the memorable entrance Of
Louis Napoleon into Paris. 1t was her
good fortune to be the connecting link be-
tween her fathers thought Of opening the
great west to Immigration aud the action

A Sullen Obedience.

A Sullen Obedience.
Even now there is no open disturbance
only a sullen acquiescence. and a nursing
of a hatred which, when opportunity offers,
will spring up into a blazing fire of rebel
lion.
The University of HeIsingfors, 1 was
told when there. was the only one in all
Russia that was open, all the rest having
been suppressed and closed because of sedi-
ton. Down with the house of Romanoff''
Is the motto, scarcely concealed, of many
OF the student class elsewhere. while Hell
slngfors and its university is still compar-
atively peaceful and outwardly loyal.
such are the people and such the country
that the government of Russia, without
any provocation or excuse, is trying to de-
nationalize and RussianiZe. Truly, Whom
the gods destroy they first make mad
But all this has a meaning for America
and Americans. There are no better emil
grants in all the world than the Firms, none
who would more easily assimilate with
American ideas and understand and adopt
American institutions. Already many have
come to our shores. There are three mil
lions more in Finland who would make
equally good Observation-Disclosures indus
trious and Woodworking, God-fearing and
democratic. We could not have better
class of emigrants. Why should not some
special inducements be held out to them to
come to America? They are in a receptive
frame of mind. They love their own coun-
try intensely, but they hate Russian bar
racks and Russian CONSUMPTION for their
sons most intensely, and would send them
to America rather than to Siberia If the
way was opened.
Canada is doing much more than the
United States just now to attract these de-
sirable emigrants from the north. In Scan
dinavia l have a whole glass plate
window devoted to exploiting the advan-
tages of Canada as land for the emigrant,
especially the country along the line of
the Canada Pacific railroad. There were
oil paintings of a beautiful farm house with
stack of hay a hundred feet high in the
background; an apple tree loaded to break
ing with delicious golden pippins in the
foreground while actual specimens in glass
jars of the wheat and barley and oats were
displayed from this land of promise. But
l have not seen the United States adver-
tised or inducements held out from our
country to this most desirable class of emil
grants Some of the Latin and Slavonic
races are emptying themselves upon our
shores. and each one from these lands
most of whom crowd to our great cities, is
a problem for the future to solve.
The Fins are largely farmers and fisher
meT and sailors-the very class whom we
most need. Let us open the doors of our
national domain wide to them and give the
sons of poor, strangled Finland the well
come they so richly deserve, and which
they will so well improve.

A Nation in Tears.


SianiZed.
A Nation in Tears. ..
No wonder all Finland is in tears 1t
seems to the Finlander that a semi-bar-
barous power is trying to impose its half
civilized yoke upon the neck of an ancient,
Christian civilization. In Finland the mean
est peasant can read and write; education
IS universal and compulsory; illiteracy is
almost unknown.
In Russia not one-half of the people can
read, and the peasants of today are little
above the serf of fifty years ago. To the
average Finn it seems like a hopeless
struggle that is going on between angel
of light and demon from the pit, with the
angel decidedly getting the worst of it,
In the parlor of kind friend in Helsing-
fors q will not mention his name, for l do
not wish to get him into trouble) hangs a
striking symbolic picture. 1t represents a
fair young girl in white flowing robes, and
with a singularly sweet, spirituelle face,
standing on the edge of the sea, the bill
lows rolling in at her feet. High aoft in
her hand she holds a great volume while
swooping down upon her comes a huge
black eagle. tearing with his talons and
beak the volume which she holds, and
threatening her own life.
The meaning is plain. Finland is the
fair girl upon the seashore, her feet washed
by the waves of the Baltic. She holds in
her frightened grasp the volume of her con-
stitution and laws, her liberty and litera-
down upon her and tearing into shreds her
laws and guarantees, which she is vanly
endeavoring to protect. 1t is strong un-
forgetable picture, and, alas, 1t tells the
truth
It Tells the Story.
THAT picture" said my host. 'is not sold
in the shops any longer, but it hangs in al
most every house in Finland. The govern
ment has suppressed the picture as sedi-
| tious, but 1t cannot tear it out of the hearts
of the Finnish people"
More than fifty newspapers have been
| suppressed also, l am told; only one is
now published in the Swedish language,
and those in Finnish have been greatly re-
duced. Thus the press is effectually muZ-
Zled-the first step which a tyrant always
takes.
l had the honor and privilege Of an au-
dience with King Oscar before leaving Swe-
den, and as we talked of many things the
conversation turned upon Finland. AS he
spoke of it his expressive face saddened,
