PiNTAR DAMAGE SUIT
 NEXT BEFORE COURT

The case of J. B. Pintar vs. Dr. Leonard O. Sloane will be the next to come before the District Court and will be taken up on January Srd. im- mediately after the end of the Chr'st- mas vacation. Pintar is suing for S10.0OO damages for alleged neglect on the part of the surgeon in setting bones in the arm which were broken in on accident suffered while the plaintiff was working for the Alaska Gastlneau Company. P,ntar alleges that on February l7. 1915. while work ing for the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company he suffered an accident which broke one of the small bones of the left forearm. He alleges that he was taken to St. Ann Hospital for treatment where Dr. Sloane treated him. under his contract with the min Ing company and alleges that his arm was allowed to heal in such way that the arm 's malformed and use less. that the ends of the bone, which had been forced past each other by the accident. were allowed to unite In that position and that the sinews and fragments In the wrist and elbow were allowed 10 grow and harden in and around the socket holding the bones in this dislocated position.
 Or. Sioane's Reply
 In the answer Co the complaint and also in the amended answer, the de- fendant states that the arm was photographed with an X-Ray and that the bones were found to be in perfect condition for re.unitlng. A temporary splint was placed on the arm and af- ter the swelling had subslded per manent plaster cast was put in place. After the bones had healed the pla,n- tiff complained that the bones were not set properly and secured other medical assistance. The services of Drs. Malone and Dawes were secured by the defendant and they reset the bones in the arm. and that the plain tiff was paid the sum of S465.50 to re- imburse him for wages lost during tre time of his disability. The amended answer also alleges that the slipping of the bones was caused by the plain tiff using the arm and wrist unknown to the defendant and against his ex- press orders.

TAFT PoKEs FUN AT TEDDY AND
 cRlrIcIsEs WILeoN

 CHICAGO Dec. 1O.-With the ease and dynamic art of a vaudeville mono logist, William Howard Taft kept l thousand business men alternately laughing and applauding for an hour In the Hotel La Sale at the weekly luncheon of the Association of Com merce.
 "Mr. Roosevelt characteriaes us who compose the League of Peace as men who are 'prattling' about peace" he said. "When Mir. Roose- welt gets talking about war or like matters he always seems to me to come up over the horizon as Mars does--red in color-and we must take his statement with that in view. He has been belaboring Mir. Wilson and me, and do not know whether can respond any better than with story my father used to tell. A Scottish dominic chose for his text Story on Teddy.
 "The devil is like a roaring lion going about seeking whom he may devour I shall discuss this question in three parts,' he announced.
 First shall Inquire who tho devil he fig.

 Alluslon to Bryan.
 In his La Salle speech, the former President expressed the belief that w. J. Bryan was merely yielding to the spirit of eloquence" when he said the country could raise 100000 sol diers between sunrise and sunset.
 President Wilson's Mexican policy was criticised as leaving intervention practically the only present alterna- tive.
 "Mexico is an international nuis- ance," said Taft. "as Cuba was. nd 1t Is on that basis we entered Into the Spanish war. hope Carranza will win. If ? does not our proximity to interver on will be a great deal clos CT by reason of what we have done than t would have been If we had al- lowed them their entire freedom of action and let them fight 1t out them selves"
 Both England and Germany have violated American rights on the seas, he said adding: We are close to war. We are not isolated with such as a Lusitania matter confronting us. War and peace tremble in the bal ance."

FINLAND.

Russia seems deterpined to blot
out the last trace of the independence.
of Finland during the war. The free
grand duchy guaranteed by Gar Alex
ander is to be completely swallowed
up by the empire. The whole country
is virtually in state of siege. Rus
sian laws governing the press, pub
lie meetings and societies are APP
piled to Finland. The government Is
to be changed so as to conform to
the Russian pattern. Public officials
are to be educated in Russia. The in
dependent money and customs system
of Finland are to be abolished. The
Greek Catholic church is to be made
supreme in the Protestant Finland.
Personal persecution flougishes as
never before. Many Finnish patriots,
including the greatest statesman of
the country, the venerable president
of the senate, has been deported to
the most desolate section of Siberia
Men who neger took any part in any
kind of Political agitation are accused
OF cons piracy and crimes, their houses
are searched, and they themselves are
thrown into prison. Finnish newspas
pers are heavily fined or entirely sup
pressed on account of the most limo,
cent remarks And in the midst Of
an these trials the Finlanders remain
loyal TO Russia. More than that;
they are adhering to policy Of peace
full resistance which they declare can
never be broken by means of violence.
They trust that the future will re-
ward their patience.
The Copenhagen correspondent OF
the Exchange Telegraph company
says it is stated that the emperor OF
Russia has decided to re-establish the
Finnish army with the same constitu-
ton as previous to 1898. 1t is said
that the emperor WIN take this action
on the advice of Grand Duke Nicholas,
commander in chief of the Russian
forces. who has been impressed by the
brillian strategic work done by Fin
nish officers serving in the Russian
army during the present war.

The Danish inner mission worked
theoretically last winter. The great
war scare was favorable to religious
work, and revival meetings were held
In all parts of the country. Those
who are conducting ths movement
complain that Copenhagen is turning
out TO be a disappointment. During
the early stages of the war the minds
were ready to listen to the preachers,
and some evening meetings were well
attended. But the great mass of the
people remained in a serious mood
only for short time, and now those
who are interested in religious work
in the capital are sorry because they
did not hammer more vigorously while
the iron was hot.
