Copenhagen, Jan. 29.-The Red
guard has won complete control Of
Helsingfors, capital of Finland, a
Stockholm dispatch to The National
Tidende reports. II Is not known
whether the Finnish government Of
ficials escaped from the revolution
aries.
Disorders have been prevalent in
Finland several weeks, and news dis
patches from Stockholm yesterday
say q revolution was in progress in
the eastern provinces. The issue
lies between the Finnish government
which declared complete independence
of Russia and organized the White
guard, and the Bolshevil<i and Rus
sian Red guard. The Bolshevikt gov
ernment apparently is willing to agree
to Finland's separation from Russia,
its opposition to the Finnish govern
ment being based on the ground that
IL is bourgeoisie. The Red guard pro-
claimed civil war last week, and was
said to have received a promise Of
aid from the Petrograd government.
In reply to a protest made by FIN
land the Russian government said IT
must support the proletariat OF Fin
land in the struggle against the
bourgeoisie.

The most fateful of the year 1918, and
may turn out to be the most fateful
of the war.
The problem Of getting supplies
across the Vosges Mountains, which
separate France from Alsace and
part of Lorraine was one that the
French generals did not solve earlier
i, the war. Yet there has been no
opportunity for France to 60 at the
problem for second effort, with
knowledge gained from eXper ence.
BY the time the experience was
ready France hadn't the men to spare
for new advance to ths Rhine.
Sometime during 1918, nearly four
years after Frances failure, million

GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED

Organized labor in North Dakota
is making rapid and highly crafty
ing progress, one evidence of the fact
being that the unions in Fargo are
preparing to dedicate their new labor
temple on Labor day. Sept. 2. w. E.
McEwen, now postmaster of Duluth,
and formerly for IS years secretary
of the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor, will be the orator of the day
at the dedication, and it is certain that
those who attend the exercises will
enjoy a great treat, for Mr. McEwen
is one Of the most eloquent and eff
fective public speakers in the trade
union movement throughout the
whole country. He always knows his
theme from beginning to end and has
a complete mastery of it, and he al
ways presents it with force, fluency,
invincible logic and charming grace
of diction. The erection of labor
temple by the unions of Fargo marks
a tremendous stride forward for them.
Their State Federation of Labor is
only five or six years old, and the
abor movement even in the principal
city of the state, was in a languid and
inert condition until a short time be-
fore the State Federation was organ

CASUALTY COMPANIES
VERY MUCH WORRIED

Private industrial insurance compA-
MES are now worrying over the rapid
growth and success of state insurance
funds for workmen's compensation,
according to the "Baltimore Under
writer"
Some Of the companies, says the
editor, are debating whether it is any
longer worth while trying to compete
with the state fund. State boards
are ''irritating' the companies by their
habit" of constantly reducing the
cost. All the companies, he adds,
ARE sitting uneasily under the slender
thread that holds the Damoclesian
blade-with the accent on the DAM"
Commenting on the progress of
state funds. which are showing a saw
ing of millions of dollars annually to
industry while providing liberal ben
efits to injured workers and their
families, and referring to the posi-
ton of the casualty companies as
"precarious," the New York Globe in
it's department devoted to life in
surance affairs says:

in praise Of the magnificent heroism
and steadfastness of our allies. Their
stand through the long struggle has
been beyond human tongue to pic
ture. Their endurance has been the
endurance Of free people-no slave
people could have stood so much so
nobly.
But as we turn this new leaf into
another new year of. the struggle,
they, like we, see this conflict not as
a war, but as crusade for human
liberty, and in that struggle united
we stand, pledged to go on to the
final establishment OF world safe
for democracy, freed from the men,
ace of militarism and autocracy, with
the path through the future secure
for all people to work out their des-
TIMES in security and freedom.
On this anniversary of her brutal
defiance to the free people and free
institutions of the world, we have
only this to say to the autocrat:
We will fight on until we win we
will not equivocate, we will not COM
promise. You have challenged right
with might and with might will we
uphold right until the last ramparts
of your autocratic machine are bat
tered to the ground forever!
