Some improy ements that will be

woodwork painted. The counters
which formerly stood on the north
side of the room have been transferr-

The front half of the floor has been
covered with linoleum. A neat lob

unbeaten any attack on Paris might be
fatal to them. They suddenly wheeled,

effort to destroy frst that part OF tho
French army.
Obviously the French troops holding
the line of tho eastern forts looking

army from Luxembourg to join them.

Arthur Ransome came through to Lon

army which IL moving down through
Poland, Gallcla and East Prussia.
He was al his summer home In Fin
land when war was first declared and
one thing he had TO tell was extremely
curious. The Firms, VINO were expected
to take advantage OF the war to show
their hostility 20 Russin, proved TO he
no whit moro rebcllious than the men
OF Donegal and the men OF Ulster when
England went TO war. In fact there was
more than loyalty in Finland. there was
keen enthusiasm for the war After all
the Firms have been Russian for n hun
dred years and their local passion for
autonomy died out IN the heat OF the
hour. There were cheers for the Servians
and cheers, too. for the Russian officers
and men who went back TO join there regi-
ments and go to the front. This attitude
on the par: Of the FHns has created
great enthusiasm IN Russia. for II was
