are said to have taken refuge in Vasa.
Most of the news of the puzzling sit.

Copenhagen. 1t consists largely of re-
PORTS of fighting in which General
Mannerholm, commanding the "protec-

national guard formed by the Finnish
government, claims successes. General
Mannerholm is reported marching to
attack Helsingfors, where the red
guard and it's adherents seem to be
still in control
ANARCHY RUNS RIOT.
Three Finnish steamers arrived at
Stockholm on Wednesday. One of
them reported wild scenes and ex-
treme misery among the population in
Abo and Viborg. Anarchy almost be-
yond description seems to prevail
everywhere, according to these re.
ports Beyond preparing to send
Swedish warships to take out any en-
dangered Swedish subjects, Sweden
seems at present to contemplate no in

wholly socialistic, but it would be car

SWEDEN TO STAY NEUTRAL.
Chicago, Jan. 31-Declaring that
Sweden would as soon burn down one
of her large cities as to take part in
the Finnish difficulties" Edwin Bjork-
man of New York, representing the
committee on public information, to-
day commented on London reports that
Sweden is believed to have interviewed
in the civil war in Finland.
"The Swedish people want to see
Finland free" he declared, but they
wish to have nothing to do with Fin
nish difficulties. They do not intend
to take any part in any internal Fin
nish affair"
Mr.. Bjorkman has been much in
Sweden working for the allied cause.
He believes that Sweden's sole aim
during the world war is to maintain a
strict neutrality.

Though Rejected
Austria e Holding
Peace Offer Open

Amsterdam, Sept 2O-Notwith-
standing the apparent rejection Of
the Hungarian proposal for
a conference of the beiligerentS TO
discuss the possibilities Of peace,
that governments offer is still open,
says an official statement received
from Vienna today. The statement
says: From reports received from
abroad, the rejection OF the AustrO-
hungarian governments suggestion
that a preliminary discussion Of
the peace question be entered into
can hardly be longer doubted.
only from Secretary Balfour is
an exhaustive discussion of our
suggestion available. His argU-
ments show how correctly Baron
Burian's proposal judged the sit
uation and that only the adoption
Of Baron Burians line Of thinking
could master the confusion or
minds prevailing everywhere until
today
THE peace question as discussed
by Secretary Balfour-and the same
applies to the debates in the French
and American senateS under the
pressure OF big catch-words and
overmasteriug passion. can natur-
ally make no favorable progress.
Especially regarding Mr. BalfOur's
speech, it must be pointed out that
II contains series of rash conCiu-
sions concerning the attitude of the
central powers toward concrete
peace questions which he would not
have arrived at had he entered into
a discussion in the spirit OF Baron
Burian's proposal.
Only if discussed under condi-
tiOns free from the influences OF
passion can the peace question
make that progress which is in the
interest Of humanity.
The Austro-Hungarian govern
ment's offer is still open"
