FINLAND.

The following words were uttered
by NJ. Milukoff, Russian minister OF
foreign affairs during an interview
granted Swedish newspaper man
THE re-establishment of full autonomy
for Finland demonstrates the liberal
spirit of the new Russia. 1t deprives
the Swedish activiSts of all raison
d'etre. Sweden understands because
of the treatment of Finland, that the
new Russia has no desire for terrific
rial aggression at the expense of Swe-
den. The provisional government wants
TO assure the Swedish government that
Russia has no thoughts Of establishing
a hegemony over Sweden. The new
Russia has only one desire externally
ITO crush Germany's aspiration for
world domination"

The Leftist (politicaD club of Elk
singdal has taken definite steps to
show that the club no longer intends
10 support It's PARTY. After an animat-
ed discussion, tie club passed the fol-
lowing resolution without a dissenting
vote: whereas maximum prices have
been put on the products of the farm
ers, thereby damaging the agricultural
interests of the country, and, whereas
the farmers have, at the same time,
been eXhorted to increase the food
production without being permitted to
share with other interests the increase
of the prices of commodities. the lam
ers have been placed in unique Posi
ton and must work under conditions
unknown in all other trades. The Elk
singdal Leftist club holds that by this
policy the administration and the stOr-
thing have violated the platform of
1915. There seems to be no use in
waiting for the leftist party TO aid the
farmer. If the Norwegian farmer Is
to make any progress, il must be done
by means of his own organizations,
Therefore we disband the Eksingdal
Leftist club and withdraw from the
district organization" Eksingdal is a
part of Yoss, In the southwestern part
of the country.

BRITISH LAUNCH
SPRING OFFENSIVE
SWEEPING ADVANCE is MADE
ALONG TWELvE-MILE FRONT
SOUTHEAST OF ARRAS.
German Lines Penetrated Two to

sands of Prisoners Taken.

London What seemingly is the
commencement of big offensive by
the British forces In France, has be-
gun along ffteen-mile line extend
ing from Lens to Henin-Sur- Cojeul,
southeast OF Arras.
On the entire line big gains in ter
rain have been made. Heavy casual
ties have been inflicted on the Ger
mans and In addition prisoners run
ming into the thousands-5,S16 al
ready have been counted-and great
quantities of war material were cap
tured. The operations are still in
progress. The British casualties are
reported slight.
Probably the greatest gains were
made on twelve-mile front from
Givenchy- En- Gohelle. north of Arras,
to Henin-Sur-Cojeul, southeast of Ar
Tas. Here defenses of all kinds. some
of them most heavily fortified, were
stormed and captured by the Canad-
ians. Notable among the positions is
the famous ridge. center of many san
culinary encounters.
The German line was penetrated 10
a depth of from two to three miles
during Monday. and at nightfall King
Georges men were still pressing for
ward
The element of surprise evidently
played prominent part in the British
for along the entire front re-
Gently there has been nothing more
than small encounters and artillery |
iuels. The thrust of the British was
quick and violent, gagged by the
'apid sweep they made against posi-
ions that previously had been consid-
red almost impregnable. The Canad-
ans captured 1000 prisoners.

FACTORY EXPLOSION
KILLS HUNDREDS
MUNITIONS PLANT BLOWN UP,
MANY WOMEN AND GIRLS
LOSING THEIR LIVES.
Fire Adds to Horror of Explosions,
Many of Bodies Being so Badly
Charred That Identification
is impossible.

Chester, Pa-One hundred and
twelve persons, most of them women
and girls, lost their lives, and 121 were
injured by a series of terrific explo-
sions on April 10 in the shrapnel build
ing of the Eddystone Ammunition cor
poration at Eddystone, one mile from
this city.
Many of the injured were MORALLY
hurt and it is feared the final death
list will reach $50. while others prob
ably will be manned for life.
How any of the 300 or more en-
ployees in the building, in which
were stored approximately 10000
shells, escaped is almost beyond con-
ception as there was scarcely a frag-
ment of the structure left intact. Fire
added to the horror and most of the
bodies were so badly charred that
identification was impossible
In the absence of any official state
ment many theories as to the cause of
the disaster were advanced. Rumors
of plots and arrests of persons both
inside and outside of the plant were
numerous, but all lacked confirmation.
Officers who have been Investigate
ing report that they have learned
from officials of the corporation that
a quantity of shrapnel had been placed
near radiator and the heat might
easily have exploded it, Their opin-
ion is that the explosion was purely
accidental. No arrests have been
made.
An official of the corporation, in
discussing the probable cause Of the |
explosion, declared that at no time did |
he believe there was more than one
half ton of powder in the building at |
one time and that this never was in
bulk.
The explosion, which was felt in
distance of fifteen
miles, occurred about 10 o'clock in
what is known as the "10-F' building,
a two-story structure rs by 800 feet.
IN this building time fuses were pre-
pared. more than 80 per cent of the
workers being women and girls. Prob
ably fifty men and boys were employ
cd in the building at the time of the
blast and the majority of them es-
capped.
Several bodies were fished out of

ated building and it is feared that
