THREATENED REVOLUTION
BREAKS OUT IN FINLAND
Russian Bolshevfle Sends Soldiers and
Guns to Aid RevoIutionists and
Authorities PowerIess.

Stockholm. Jan 30-The long threat
ened revolution in Finland has begun
in the eastern provinces. according Il
sparse reports reaching Haparanda
The Red guard is reported to have oc
cupied the railway station at Helsing
fors. all the foreign consuls have left
the capital and sharp fighting is re-
ported around and in VibOry.
The Red guard is holding Rikimaki
and other important functions: Rus
sian soldiers are aiding the Reds. and
reinforcements are coming from Pet
rograd.
The Finnish minister in Petrograd
has protested TO the workingmen's and
soldiers delegates against Russian in
reference in Finnish affairs. He re-
ceived a reply that ''Isussia's govern
ment, true to its principles, is in duty
bound to support the proletariat in
Finland in its battle against the Fin
nish bourgeoise."
The forces of law and order in Hell
singfors are powerless, because the
city is commanded by the guns of
Russia, which are in the hands of
sailors. The commandment
of the fleet threatened to level the
city to the ground if the White guard
was not disbanded.

Finnish Revolt Spreads.

In Finland the trouble between the
government forces and revolutionists
continues to grow in extent. The rev.
olutionists are declared to have formed
a government of their own. All south
ern Finland is said to be in the hands
Of the red guard, while the government
forces in the north are asserted to
have defeated and disarmed the reyo-
Iutionaries at various places and to
have started southwark to give battle
to the elements of disaffection there.
The socialists have taken a hand in the
trouble, having issued a manifesto de-
rlaring that the Finnish government
desires to rule the proletariat.
Although finland has appealed to
Sweden for military aid, such aid is
not likely to be rendered. On the con-
trary, Sweden apparently has shown
it's desire to keep aloof from the con-
troversy by closing the frontier to pre-
vent the red guard from obtaining
weapons.

GERMANS PREPARING FOR
SUPREME SUB CAMPAIGN
Great Offensive Against American
Lines to France in Connection With
Land Drive Is Planned.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Warning that
the Germans are preparing for a great
submarine offensive against the Amer
lean lines of communication with
France in connection with the impend-
ing Teutonic drive against the west
front is given by Secretary Baker in
his weekly military review. Recently
there has been a marked decrease in
the number of allied merchant ships
sunk by submarines. The explanation
for this is found in the withdrawal
of submarines in preparation for the
coming thrust on land and seas.
In this respect the review says:
"As the time draws near when once
again the enemy will endeavor TO
strike decisive blow in the west, it
must be emphasized that he will not
be content with mere military opera
lions ON large scale.
During the past fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to home
ports to be refitted and the most pow
erful submarine offensive hitherto UNI
dertaken may be expected to be
launched against our lines of commu-
nication with France, to interrupt the
steady flow of men and munitions for
our own armies and food supplies for
the allies"

CALIFORNIA ADVERTISEMENTS
CAUSE PROTEST TO HOOVER

Chicago, JAN, 31.-Officials of the
Chicago branch of the National Sc
curity league have protested to Food
Administrator Hoover against adver-
tisements appearing in Chicago news
papers calling upon people to come
to California where the oyer-supply
of fresh meats has eliminated meatless
day." The advertisement also said
that Director General McAdoo of the
railroads has announced that passen-
ger service to the Pacific coast will
not in any way be affected by the east
ern changes" This is indefensible adj
vertising and invites idle rich to go to
California and avoid all sacrifices
which the entire country is called upon
to make; it encourages slackerism, the
protest read.
