RUN AuFos WITH CO GAS.
London Motorists Find II Cheaper
+ Than Gasoline at Present High
Price Of Latter.

Great interest has been aroused by
the reference made in the London
Telegraph recently to the economic adj
vantags Of the utilization Of coal gas
as substitute for petrol (gasoline),
says that newspaper. It has been es.
tablished by actual practice that 250
cubic feet Of coal gas-the ordinary
gas that is used for household illumina-
ton purposes equals one gallon Of pc
troll when applied to the work of driv-
Ing a motor vehicle. II gas costs u
cents 1000 cubic feet it is equivalent
to petrol at 10 cents a gallon, and at
SO cents 1000 cubic feet'is equivalent
to It's competitor at "a cents gallon.
AS petrol cannot be bought today
for commercial purposes at under 4s
to 50 cents gallon, it will be seen
how great is the economy effected. So
far as the alterations rendered neces-
sary to the engine Of a motor vehicle
are concerned, the only additional ex-
penditure is about $500, and the gas
bag container for the storing of the
vapor costs SIS. Thus, for the ex-
pendtiure Of $3.50, an ordinary petrol
using motor vehicle Of any description
can be converted into a gas driven one,
and the driving expenses reduced enor-
mously.

FINLAND.

The landtdag July II passed the Sec
ond reading Of bill virtually estab-
fishing Finnish independence. The in
PRODUCTION of the bill has created a
serious crisis in Petrograd, and N. G.
Tcheidse, president of the council of
workmen's and soldiers delegates,
went to Helsingfors in an effort to set
tie the differences. The law, which
was engineered by the Socialists, pro-
claims that Russia has lost all author
ity in Finland except in the domains
of diplomacy and in the army and
navy, wherein, however, Russia's rights
are underlined: Al other prerogatiyes
of the grand duke Of Finland, which
the provisional government claims
passed automatically to it, belong to
Finland. Specifically the diet assumes
the grand dukes right to put into exc
cution the law, convoke and prorogue
the legislature and appoint supreme
executive. The governor general is not
mentioned in the law and as no func-
lions are left him he is practically SUI
perseded. kilograms from Helsingfors
declare that after the PRONUNCIATION of
the law the diet will appoint it's own
senate. Under the plan proposed Rus
STA would not have the right to keep
troops in Finnish territory in time of
peace or to possess any Notifications.
Economic relations between Finland
and Russia would be regulated as be-
tween foreign countries. The Finnish
Social Democrats addressed the Social
Democrats of all countries, especially
Russia, asking them to support the es-
adjustment of Finland's independence
on the ground that the Russian gov
eminent, which was characterized as
bourgeois, was incapable Of giving ade-
quate guarantees of the inviolability
OF Finland's freedom. The grand duchy
of Finland forms a separate division
OF the Russian empire and until the
last few years preserved it's old con-
stltution. Its autonomy has been in a
great measure abolished by acts of the
Russian government. A governor gen.
eral represents the Russian govern.

NORWAY.

Gen. Ivan Holmsen, an officer who
distinguished himself in the Russian
army, is a native of Norway and of
pure Norwegian stock, having been
born in Rygge, Norway; in 1867. His
father removed to Finland in the sew
enties of the past century to engage
in the lumber business. Early in life
he became fond of military life, and
wished to attend the cadet school at
Fredrikshaven. But according to the
rules Of the school only boys of no.
bic parentage could be admitted. Nor
way abolished all kinds of titular no.
bility a hundred years ago, and how
could the boy prove that his ancestors
we're nQblemen? At any rate he went
to work to see what could be done.
His ancestors had been very pr9mi-
nent in Enebak aid Smaalcne for hun
dreds Of years, and by the kind assist
aace Of the keeper of the national
archives OF Norway he was finally ad-
mitted to the school. He made a IA
yorable impression, and as soon as he
became an officer he advanced rapidly.
In 1909 he married Liontov Bobrikofff,
the daughter of the governor general
Of Finland, and they have several chill
dren. In 1909 he was a colonel and
military attache at the Russian lega-
ton In Constantinople, and when the
war broke out he was at the head Of
division. In the battle of Vladyslavov
he distinguished himself by bravery
and general ability to such an ex4
tent that he was decorated with the
Cross Of st. George. The Russians had
been forced back by the Germans and
were hard pressed. Then Holmsen as
sumed the command of two regiments,
using one Of them in a flank attack on
the enemy and the other in checking
his advance in the front. He succeed

COMPLAINT of American export re-

the paper, which cites an article from

is highly Serious" says the Politiken.
"War's specter approaches our frontier
by an unexpected path. Even if we
