War Brings Italian Women Their Birthright of Power

are displaying their capability as clean

There arc about $500 of these women.
Italian women are proud to claim
among their ranks the first Allied
woman sea captain. This is Elsie
Belluomini, of Viaresgio. She defed
every prejudice and barrier to her
sex, gained admittance to the nautical
school in her own town, successfully
passed the final examination, and is
now in command of her own ship.
Business is no longer considered as
an improper vocation for woman in
Italy. More than 100000 are employed
by the War Department as clerks,
stenographcrs, munition workers and
telephone operators. Rome is we'll

who are assisted by boys and girls. AS

TO constitute this new Finnish gov

Russian Bolshcviki
Forced the Revolt

It appears that the Socialist leaders
in Finland only very reluctantly en-
tered on this venture, and it has been
asserted that the majority of the So
cialist members of the Diet at party
meeting voted against it. But the
anarchist element among the Social
lists. smitten with the mad doctrines
Of Russian Bolshcvism, in full pos
session of arms and ammunition sup-
piled by the Russians and egged on by
the Russians, forced the revolt. The
Russian Bolshevist government .sent
the following dispatch from their
headquarters at the Smolny Institute:
COLLECT $4,000 men to Helsingfors.
Arrest the government We promise

So the revolt broke out and MANY

escort. Girls were never permitted to
go to school unchaperoned. In school
they were all crowded up on the front
seats to the scorn Of their brothers.
And when it came time to go home,
the little girls had to have the school
porter accompany them out of the
building as a bodyguard. Father usual
~ chose his daughters husband. and
she saw her intended only once or
twice in mothers presence before her
marriage.
But the war has changed all of this.

the family with three or more little
children dependent upon her for their
daily bread, the Italian woman has
been forced to forget her sex inferior

her by her Allied sisters.
Silently, persistently, undauntedly,
she has fallen into line, and pushes
her shovel as readily into the hard
clay in the new trench close to the
firing line along the Austrian front as
she does into the soft, rich soil on her
own little farm a hundred miles away.

of the Socialist leaders now identified
themselves with it.
1t was not a very heroic deed Of the
Red Guards to start a revolt They
had plenty of arms, ammunition, artil-
lery, etc, supplied by the Russian
army, and they had strong forces of
Russian trained troops and the Rus
sian navy to assist them. Colonel Sic
vers, commander of the Russian gar
rison at Sveaborg, fortress outside
Helsingfors, stated to Swedish
journalist that in Helsingfors alone
and in it's vicinity. there were 10000
Russian soldiers and sailors ready to
aid the revolters. In other cities all
around Finland there were Russian
garrisons, and large reinforcements,
armored cars and armored trains were
sent from Russia.
Ihe Finnish government had no
army for their defence, for after the
disbandmcnt, by the illegal order of the
late Car, of the Finnish army in
1902 the Films have not served as SOL
dicrs, but in various districts of the
country so-called protection guards.
composed Of men of all classes, had
been formed to protect the population
from the excesses of the Russian SOL
diers and other lawless elem ents.
These formed the nucleus Of the gov
ernment forces. But they had practi-
cally no arms; few magazine pis-
tolls, sporting rifles, old fashioned seal
hunters shooting irons-that was all
their equipment.
They applied to the Swedish govern
ment for permission to purchase arms
IN Sweden, but this was refused, and
the Swedish Premier advised the Fin
nish government to ask for assistance
elsewhere. There was no possibility
OF getting arms anywhere else than
from Germany, and rather than let
their country go to ruin, the govern
ment were compelled to seek assistance
in Germany. 1t is not the Firms that
are aiding the Germans, but the Ger
mans who have come to the assistance
OF Finland. To every supporter Of the
cause OF the Allied powers it must be
matter of profound regret that these
powers were unable to help and that it
has fallen to the lot of Germany in
this case to stand on the side of hu-
manity and righteousness. The re-
sponsibility for this state of affairs
rests on the Red Guard rebellion sup
ported by the Russian soldiers, this re-
bellion which is the most unjustifable
in the worlds history. This is q view
held also by Socialists.
Hundreds and thousands of peaceful,
defenceless Finnish men and women
have been tortured and killed by the
lawless revolters, but let us hope that
they have not suffered in vain. Their
martyrdom will help to reestablish the
cause of humanity. The civilized world
will yet have reason to be grateful to
Finland, which with great sacrifices
Is stemming the spread of this terrible
cancer in the body polite.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-19
Provisional Power
Dissolves the Diet

In virtue of these same powers the
Russian Provisional Government con-
voked session of the Diet, presented
bills IN their name to the Diet and
sanctioned bills passed by it.
Many people in Finland, however.
both Socialists and others, desired that
the powers of the grand duke thus
vested In tho Russian Provisional Gov
crnment should be transferred to the
Diet, and bill to this effect was intro
duced and passed by a considerable
majority. This was resented bv the
Russian Provisional Government. which
dissolved the Diet and issued writs for
new elections, here again exercising
the constitutional powers Of the grand
duke.
This was a hard blow to the Socialist
party. In the Diet now dissolved they
had a majority of 103 out of 200. and
they feared that at the new election
their membership would decrease. So
they launched the theory that the Rus
sian Provisional Government could not
exercise the powers of the grand duke
and therefore had no right to dissolve
the Diet, and yet members of the So
ciallst party had held Office in the
Finnish government by virtue of these
powers.
The fear of the Socialist party was
we'll founded. They made their utmost
effort to secure heavy poll, but in
spite thereof they were defeated; their
