London. Nov. 2l.--General Manner

scented to become regent of the new
coalition government of Finland, ana
the other supporters Of the govern
ment sustained by the White Guards,
are extremely anxious to have the en-
tente powers and the United States
recognize the new Finnish government.
The necessity for such recognition
at once is urged on the ground that
the peasants feel under great obliga-
tons to Germany for interfering ana
establishing order in Finland and can
not be induced to transfer their al
legiance to the enemies of Germany
unless steps are taken that will con-
vince them that the entente powers

talk over the provisioning of Finland,

hausted.
Sweden and Denmark have con-
scented to let Finland have limited
amount Of grain. but this supply Will
not reach Finland in time to prevent
the suspension OF bread rations in the
larger cities of Finland for some time.
According to dispatches received
by General Mannerheim virtually all
the German troops have now left Fin
land There were less than two thou
sand Germans there week ago, and
az these have been moving out when

says Finland is now doubtless entirel!
