London, Feb. s.-Reports from
Stockholm, where there is strong
sympathy for the Finnish govern
ment in its fight against the Boil

as still favorable to the White

is reliably reported there that the
White guards have captured Viborg
and are planning to cut the railroad
to Petrograd and then march on
Helsingfors, held by the Red guards,

SINGERS WEAR GAS
MASKS AT THE FRONT
Versatility of the "Tin Hat" Is
Demonstrated by Y. M. C.
A. Worker.

New York.-American singers who
are assisting In the entertainment
provided for the American soldiers
overseas by the Y. M. G. A. are wear
ing gas masks.
Baritones and tenors in the Ameri-
can sector need only the "alerts" 10
slip their nosebags, because III they
do not do it quickly they will be out
of luck, according to Albert Wider
hold who sang In DIR. Parkhursts
church, Madison avenue, New York.
Widerhold was member of the first
Liberty quartette sent to France TO
sing for the soldiers in the Y. NJ. G. A.
huts.
"No one is allowed up there with
out a helmet and gas mask" he said
referring to the front line trenches.
"As you pass a certain line you see a
sign Gas mask at the alert which
means you get ii up on your chest,
unbutton the clasp and have it ready
to put on in six to eight seconds. All
the Y men over here want TO get up
to the front. A lot of them got there.
i take off my hat to those chaps"
The versatility of the tin hat is re-
vealed in Wlderhold's description of
his sleeping quarters. "My main
trouble" he said, twas to get my tin
hat hung in just the right place to
catch the drip, for the roof had not
been repaired since the last bomhard-
ment. That part taken care of and
with one blanket pulled up TO keep
the rats from running over my face,
slept pretty WELL"

GET LEAVE TO MEET KIN
Soldiers Allowed to See Relatives Re-
turned From Germany.


Soldiers whose close relatives
specifically father, mother, children,
brother, sister or wife-have been
repatriated after Imprisonment in
German territory will be given spe-
cial leave of absence to meet them
on their return, according to a ruling
of the French war department. They
have only to present an attestation of
the mayor of their home town that
the facts are as represented.
What this means to the Poilu can
well be imagined, since some of the
repatriates just now coming through
the Swiss border have been prisoners
almost since the beginning of the war.
If the soldier had to wait his turn
for his regular allowance of leave
there is no telling how long it would
be before the reunion could take place.
