One Probable Result of Russian
Revolution Which May
Become Realty.
NORWAY IS PRECEDENT
Full Sovereignty Determined on by
Great Majority Of lnhabltants-
Plan Consistent With U. S.
Aims.

New York, Oct. 10-The first large
constructive importance of the revolu-
tion in Russia will probably be the
independence of Finland.
Events are now occurring In Finland
that indicate a determination on the
part of the inhabitants to establish
full sovereignty for themselves. II a
formal demand is made upon the Rus.
sian government to recognize Finland's
freedom the Kerensky cabinet would
be compelled to agree or would en-
danger the consistency of its own dem.
ocratic policies. If minority and not
a majority of the Firms desired sep
aration from Russia there would be
ground for objection at Petrograd, but
not otherwise.
Precedent for Separation.
A neighborhood precedent for peace
full separation occurred in 1905, when
Sweden agreed to recognize the full
independence of Norway II the Firms
desire to become a sovereign nation
there is no more reason why they
should be forced to continue linked TO
Russia than there formerly was for
a continuation of the Swedish Nor.
wegian union.
Dissolution of all ties binding Fin.
land and Russia would not mean a de.
feat for the Russian revolution, but
rather a victory, wholly consistent
with the aims for which the Uuited
States entered the war. A harmon
ious agreement between the Firms and
the Russians leading to the recogni-
tion of Finnish sovereignty might we'll
give strong impetus to the move
ment for the freedom OF small nation.
Rlities elsewhere.
Culture Not the Same.
Finnish culture is not the same as
Russian, and all but successful efforts
have several times been made TO OBJ
tain nearly complete autonomy for
Finland from the Russian czars.
The Petrograd absolutists at least
recognized in principle that Finland
was entitled to self government; and
the new democracy in Russia cannot
repudiate the logical extension OF this
principle
Ii is not reasonable TO believe an
Independent Finland would be but the
beginning of Russian disintegration.
An independent Poland would certain.
ly follow at the end of the war, but
elsewhere they is little vital impetus

The newspaper asserted it made the

No details were given on how the

evenly; "he asked me to bring this
down for your uncle" She took the
package with an incoherent acknowl-
edgment. Without letting her eyes

fresh and clean and strong he looked,
dressed In a livelier manner than
usual-a partly cowboy effect, with
broader hat and q gayer tie than he
ordinarily affected. De Spain kept on
speaking: "The telephone girl in the
office downstairs told me to come right

She regarded him wonderlngly. "He
has a good deal of pain" she answered
quietly.
"Too bad he should have been hurt
In such way. Are you pretty well,
Nan?" She thanked him.
"Stay here a good deal, do your I'll
bet you don't know what day this is?'
Nan looked up the corridor, but she
answered to the point: you'd lose"
"It's our anniversary" She darted
n look OF indignant disclaimer at him.
But In doing so she met his eyes.
"Have you seen the decorations In
Main street? Come to the door just q
minute and see the way they've lighted
the arches" She knew just the ex-
preston of his eyes that went with
that tone. She looked vexedly at him
to confirm her suspicion. Sure enough

kind of an expression-hard to be reso-
lutte against. Her eyes fell away, but
some damage had been done. He did
not say another word. None seemed
necessary. He just kept still and

Just what-seemed to talk for him to
poor defenseless Nan. She besitated
helplessly. 81 can't leave uncle" she

Something of a surprise was sprung
in the balkline billiard tournament that
opened at the Royal last night when
Charley Wolfe, a scratch player. was

a handicap of SO points, by the score
Of 200 to 157 Wolfe had been playing
in splendid form up until a few days
ago, but Bissel caught him off his
stride and scored an easy victory. The
winner played steady game through
out, while Wolfe found his stroke
faulty.
C. H. Kilbourne and A. Same were
given the honor of opening the tourna-
ment, both being given a handicap of
80 points, and the former won handily
by the score Of 200 to 149. Kilbourne
played with a degree of intelligence of
factor in the tourney, his position play
being very good. He started poorly
with a row of five ciphers. but when

F0URL0CAL TEAMS
BOOKED FOR GAMES
G. IT,, c. u, G. W. and GaI|au.
Diet Basketers Meet Oppo-
nents Tomorrow.
BY n. C. BYRD.

All four of the local colleges sup
porting basket ball are scheduled to
play tomorrow night. Three of the
teams are to perform on floors in this
city and the other at Boston Catholic
University is booked for contest with
Bucknell, and George Washington and
Gallaudet meet at Kendall Green,
Georgetown faces Boston College.
George Washington and Gallaudet
played at the Y. NJ. c. A. a short time
ago and the game was one of the fast
est and best in which the Hatchetites
have taken part this season. The fol-
ward to contest in which the compe-
tition will be close and hard.
Just what kind of team Bucknell
will present against Catholic Univer-
sity is not known. The Pennsylvanians
seldom are very weak, though, in
any branch of sport. The same is true
for the opponent Georgetown will face.
Two games are to be played this aft
ernoon at the 'Y' in the high school
series. Tech goes against Western and
Central faces Eastern. Both games
should be well contested. The first is
scheduled to begin at 2:45. Some of the
teams have suffered somewhat from
failures in the last advisory marks. but
their strength is not going to be seri-
ously impaired.
Georgetown's quint lost to st. Johns
College in the game yesterday at
Brooklyn. The Blue and Gray was on
the short end of SO to "a score, the
winners outplaying it decisively.
Georgetown's men could not familiarize
themselves with the exceptionally
small gymnasium in which the game
took place. Fees again starred in
shooting goals from the foul line, reg
istering ten.
Georgetown meets the Crescent Ath-
letic Club of Brooklyn tonight.
