FINLAND PARTITION BEGUN
Two Large Parishes Cut Off from
Viborg Province.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 2f-The Emperor
has approved for submission TO the Douma
the draft of a bin cutting off Kivincoe and
Nykirka parishes from NibOrg province
and adding them To- the province Of ST.
Petersburg This measure is regarded as
The first step in the partition Of Finland
The two parishes cover an area OF nearly
600 square miles and contain a popula-
ton of 10000, for the most part Russian
summer dwellers. Tho area is important
stratesically, as IL skirts the coast line for
about twenty-six miles TO the north of the
present boundary Of st. Petersburg PROV
ince.
Many years ago the question OF cutting
off these parishes was raised IN Russia.
The Finnish Senate agreed so far as
Kivinebe was concerned, but the present
attitude of Finland is one Of uncompromis-
ing opposition. The draft Of the bill. origi-
mated with the. Minister Of the Interior, and
it was made possible under the law OF June
60. 1910, extending the DOuma's power Of
LEGISLATION over Finland.
