Georges Reason Was Good Enough

Fire.

Portland, Ore.-George Thompson,
"a gentleman Of color" lived upstairs
over paintshop. The painter, return
ing from lunch, saw George come
hastily downstairs, carrying a rocking
chair, three pictures, a china bowl and
a water pitcher.
"'Smatter, George?" asked the paint
er.
Use movin'." replied George, depos.
itlng his. belongings on the curb, and
returning hastily upstairs.
He was down again in a minute with
another load Of household effects. The
painter. mildly curious, asked him
where he was moving.
Use movin' right inter de street"
answered George, again Fastening up-
stairs.
The painter lighted cigar and
awaited the next trip. Presently back
came George, carrying a mattress in
one arm and a cot In the other, and
still in hurry,
"Why are you moving, Georger'
the painter inquired.
Use movin' cause your shops aflre,
answered George.
And then the painter moved, too
and with more haste than George.

the friendly demeanor Of the dowager empress.
Naturally this ill-advsed policy has had very
bad results. At the beginning of the war many
Firms were In favor of the allies, chiefly by reason
of their English trade connections and English
sympathes. But when Russias most powerful
md necessary ally forbode to say one word in
iavor of reasonable treatment of Finland and
when the English press by its undiscrminating
praise of all things Russian actually gave more
strength to the powers of reaction, then the Firms
cannot be blamed for looking elsewhere.
Their exiles flocked to Germany in great num-
bers, and it Is said that more than 5000 Firms
took up their residence there. The Germans are
further credited with making active propaganda
for their cause among the professors and students
Of Finland, but 1t seems doubtful whether they
would really have found 1t worth while when the
allies themselves were uncoHsciously doing so
much to spread proGerman sympathies there. If
but no one can say more than f-Finland was
occasionally used as channel for communi-
cation between Germany and the traitorous party
in Russia the allies have only themselves to blame
However this may be, it seems pretty clear that
there were several German agencies in more than
one part of Finland trying to stir the people up
to an armed revolt
Since our reactionary press at one time took
upon itself to repeat the venerable and discredited
cliches about Finand's desire for independence
or for union with Sweden, 1t Is well to say once
more that Finand's great nationalist movement
was all directed against Swedish influence, and
that there are not five wiseacres in the whole
country who would dream Of the possibility of
such union. Nor has the fercest advocate Of
Finnish freedom ever contemplated absolute in
dependence. The position of the country and its
very small population wholly forbid it.
Surely this tiny nation has magnificent future
It may even be possible for them, highly trained
and politically qualified as they are, TO hurry
through the intervening stages of their economic
development and show to Europe the working
model of cooperative commonwealth. They are
in the main Mongolians, patient, passive, secret
and unfathomable, and their kinsmen in Japan
and China have done equally marvellous things
Yet alien from as they are racially, their de-
velopment is so western that Englishman who
has spent much time in Finland has any sense Of
race barrier. On the contrary, they seem, once
known curiously appealing and sympathetic, this
brave, ugly little people, with their high cheek
bones, great foreheads and deep-set eyes.
Their literature. like their landscape, is ex-
traordinarily varied and beautiful and there runs
through it sense of the timeess forests and the
unbounded North. 1t haunts you no one who has
felt the charm Of Finland is really content till he
sees the Land Of Thousand Lakes again.
