Neither People Nor News Allowed to Es-
cape From Finland.
Communication of all kinds between
Finland and Sweden across the frontier
will be stopped by the Russian author1-
ties. Had it not been for the ski service
across the frontier the world would have
known nothing of the dreadful famine in
Finland last winter. Not only to prevent
news from leaking out, but to prevent the
Firms from emtgrating is the boundary so
carefully guarded.
Adv1ces from Lulea state that Russian
officials have conflscated all the tele-
phones on the Finnish border and de-
stroyed the telephone cables in the bed of
Tornea river, separating Finland from
Sweden. Russian revenue cutters are
patrolling the river on the Finnish side
to see that no new cable Is landed. The
frontier patrol has been doubled and it is
now impossible to cross the river with
out meeting Russian gendarmes on horse
back whom it Is very difficult to satisfy
as to passports or identity.
Russian detectives infest Lulea and the
villages along the river. All kilograms
and other messages crossing the frontier
are censored and precautions are taken to
prevent Finnish exiles from communicat-
ing with their friends by means of those
who are returning to Finland.

Public Opinion,

Public opinion is queer thing. It will

misrepresentation, until certain point
comes and then it turns and cleans up the
whole mess. When that point will be
reached, few men can tell. There are
many instances Of this; the "clean up In
the postal department is one of them. The
crookedness probably could have gone on

the tolerance of public opinion and over
