FINLAND AND ALAND ISLANDS IN
FEAR OF RULE BY CENTRAL POWERS

Washington. June -Germany's
activities In Finland and the Aland
Islands are causing fears among the
northern European neutrals that a
middle Sea OF the North" is contem-
plated by the autocratic central
powers as an adjunct to their ag-
gressive plans for an economic and
military alliance against the world
under the name of "Mittel-Europa." :"
THE results obtained by the Ger
mans in the Russia Baltic states
give the neutral northern countries
much room for after thought" de-
clares DR.. Jur. G. Asche, the Scan
dinavian economist, In an article re-
ceived here in official dispatches.
"The operations Of the Germans in
the Baltic provinces may have con-
sequences which no peace congress
ever will have power to efface.
1.-THE Germans desire to connect
Finland in an economic way with
Middle Europe. Finland is country
OF raw materials. II Germany be-
comes master Of the Baltic, and Fin
land becomes an independent state
with economic connections with Md
die Europe, Russia's wish to extend
toward the west is probably once for
all made impossible.
"In order for Russia to get on her
feet again. she must find an outlet
for her natural riches, and when
she has no way open to the west,
she must get there by aid OF the
Middle European group, especially
Germany, and by aid Of Scandinavia.
In this way. an interchange OF trade

kind of supper, the proceeds Of

caticnal and publicity part of

and postage must be bought;
speakers taken to appointments.
None of the money will go for
salaries, as all work is done gra.
tuitously, except stationery and
advertising.
Very few teachers have bought
any Liberty Bonds so far, many
will not be able to buy this time,
so it is their duty to help some
way. Many of those who buy at
the school house pie sales could
not buy Liberty Bonds, but could
help IN this way. We hope
everybody in the County will

move and a sale will be put on at
