one of the most important cities of the

A short-sighted policy of forcible Rus

Germans Large Landlords.
All of them, with one exception,
have joined the opposition to the gov
ernment in internal politics. The Ger
mans are the exception; they are the
large landlords of the Baltic provinces
and have given many men to the high
er official world, which accounts for
the number of German names one finds
in lists of Russian ministers, anbassa-
doris and other officials.
The Firms are very bitter against
Russia. Many Of the measures by the
Russian government in Finland, which
have caused this bitterness, have been
taken in order to strengthen the de.
tense Of the capital from that quarter
Perhaps the extent of the Finnish
protest corresponds to the extent and
effectiveness Of these measures. Fin
nish protests have been heard all over
the western world, even over here in
America.

Pray that farmer dragged from

a Berlin lawyer shall be steadier with

that a machine gun manned by Heidel-

one worked by Paris carpenters shall.
Pray that a Bavarian hop grower,
armed in a quarrel in which he has
no heat, shall outmarch wheat grow

Go to church and pray for help
that the hell shall be hotter in inno-

storekeepers offered up with prayer
