Bandages which have been sent by
the thousands, the hospital gar
ments, the sweaters and other knit
ed articles which they have contrib
uted, have helped to save the lives
of thousands of brave American
and Allied fighters. In addition, the
knowledge that thousands of Amer
lean women We're constantly engage
ed in these activities--indicative of
the fact that they were not forgot
ten-added to the morale Of our
army and navy; and morale pres
ages victory.

WORTHY TO RANK AS NATION
Finland Has Right to Be Welcomed
Among the Worlds Republics-
Its Great National Epic.

Finland of to-day is prosperous
and rapidly developing country. inhab-
tied by an. enterprising, progressive
and hospitable people. The population
is, roughly speaking, 100000. Dairy
farming has become one of the most
important Industries. It is more profit
able than the raising Of grains be-
cause of the uncertainty of the sea-
sons. There is absolutely no reason
why the republic of Finland should
not be a success, if left undisturbed
by more powerful and ambitious neigh
bors. The people are intelligent, demo
cratic and frugal, and have had enough
experience in self-government to be or
great help in solving the various per-
picking problems that are sure to arise.
There is no logical reason why they
should be subjects Of Slavic Russia.
Hence the republic of Finland should
be welcomed among nations Of the
world. %tt
We are indebted to Finnish litera-
ture for the inspiration Of one of our
great poems by one of our sweetest
singers, Nevin @. Winter writes in the
Christian Herald. Without a written
literature, there was handed down
from father to son for many genera.
tons in Finland great national epic.
In the long winter evenings the singers
sat beside the flaming pine logs and
there sang snatches from this epic.
Finally there appeared one Elias
Lonnrot, a simple country physician,
who Travelled over the country and col
lected this unwritten epic from the
memories of hundreds Of these singers.
He called the collection the Kalevala
and it was first published in 1885.
:Longfellow copied the style in his
"Hiawatha."
