The Germans are advancing to-
ward the chief port of Finland, Hell
slnfors. IL is not possible for the
Fins to make resistance as they have
no army of any consequence. They
have taken advantage of conditions
in Russia to secede and Russia has
not been able to force them back tu
their allegiance.

The radical party in Russia called
the Bolsheviki have apparently
gained control of Petrograd and are
about to contest with the Provisional
Government for leadership of Rus
sla. IL is reported that they have
given up their cause in Moscow
and there is much hope that their
control of Petrograd will not be
long. Late reports show that Ker-
"nsky is gaining control.

Good Progress Made.

London, Nov. 1.-THE British made
an attack early in the morning on the
Flanders front near Passchendaele.
The war office announces that reports
Indicate good progress. The announce
ment follows:
AT sunrise this morning our troops
attacked German positions northwest
and north of Passchendaele. The first
reports indicate that good progress was
made. The weather is stormy with
heavy rain and high wind"
The drive is the second of the week
which the British have directed at the
last remaining hold by the enemy on
the Passchendaele ridge. The direct
objective of both of these thrusts is
Westroosebeke, lying at the extremity
Of the high ground and commanding
the lowlands north of Roulers.
The Germans failed to make a sin
gle COunter-attack to this blow, despite
the fact that captured Germans de-
clared Hindenburg had ordered the re-
taking of Passchendaele at all costs.
The enemy lines We're pulyerized by
the tremendous British fire and unable
to reform for an attack.
With this smash, Haig has been
"boring ahead in the Ypres sector"
since September 81 This is his ninth
general assault against the enemy's
lines. Every previous blow has been
powerful enough To advance the Brit
iSh lines materially-and this despite
the fact that the crown prince, Rup-
precht, massed his choicest Bavarian
troops To oppose the Tommies.

the British onslaught. With this city

Here is the situation: The rule does

to have thrown a ball at basket in
somebody's back yard, or because he
has rallied to the cOlors of his Sunday
