AIM AT
FINLAND

PETROGRAD, Oct. 27.-Prep-
arations for the evacuation OF
Helsingfors, Finland, were report
ed under way today.
The newspaper Novo Vremya
asserted today that the Germans
are making extensive preparations
for landing and occupying Fin
land, expecting that their task
will be easy owing to the growth
of previous propaganda there.
The German plan, the news
paper declares, is to make swift
assault on Russian troops and
cut the railway which runs thru
Finland to Tornea, thus isolating
Russia from Sweden.
Helsingfors Is a naval depot OF
Finland. 1t is guarded by the
fortress of Sveaborg, classed as a
fertilization of the first class.
The city is an important link IN
the railroad from Petrograd.
Russia has already announced
evacuation of Reval. its big naval
base on the southern shore of Gull
Of Finland and a civil evacuation
of the fortress of Kronstadt, a
bare 20 miles from Petrograd, at
the upper extremity of the Fin
land gulf.
Viborg, the third great Rus
sian naval fort of the bay, is APP
parently still being held.

High board fences, topped with
barbed wire, are being construct
ed at the Jefferson street car
barns.
Labor leaders believe the fence
has been constructed to bait the
workers, on the theory that a re-

the pending arbitration announce
ment, would strengthen the EN-
ployers' stand that the unions

San Francisco's open vice dis

in securing effective police action
to stamp out clandestine vice.
The following cities have closed

The segregated and tolerated
vice district is therefore almost en-
tirely wiped out. The bulk of the
districts remaining were in the
south, where the majority of the
military camps have been located.

"Purscs of the poor will be no
richer under Prohibition" declares the
publicity department of the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton.
The Associations argument is that
the people will have to pay extra
taxes. direct or indirect, to make up
for the moneys the government now
derives from the liquor traffic. Most
really poor people are immune from
taxes in both war time and peace
time. They are immune or nearly i'm
mune, because they have little or
nothing to tax. And it is safe to say
that rs per cent OF the people who are
poor are so because of the liquor
traffic. They would have more money
