United Against Barbarism.

We make no distinction between the
Franco-American army of 1775 and the
Franco-American army of 1918; between
the English and the Americans. who
fought each other more than 1lO years
ago and the English and Americans who
now fight with US for the liberation of
our soil; between the soldiers of the two
enemy camps of Yorktown and the SOL
diers of Verdun. the User and the Marine
between president Washington and
President Wilson. The Declaration of
Independence promulgated in America
twelve years before that which formu-
lated the program of the French revolu-
tion affirmed the principles which the al
lied nations are defending today against
the most formidable power of barbarism
that has appeared in the universe"
Mr.. Pichon declares that Washing
tons address to the Army at Cam
bridge was the very basis of the ideas
which inspire the messages of Presi-
dent Wilson. The United States, he
said, is destined to put it's stamp upon
the future organization of the old
world. and that 1t will not be France
that will complain. Americans are
greeted as liberators. he said

STOCKHOLM, February 23.-The i'm
pending German Intervention in Fin
land, which i predicted few days ago,
is now an accomplished fact Today's $
official dispatches of the Finnish gov
ernment describe the arrival OF four
German transports at Vasa laden with
everything that Gen. Mannerheim's
militia needs most, in addition to sew
eral hundred well trained members OF
the Finnish Rifle Brigade Of Germany.
These riflemen are not mere privates
Every man is given the rank of nom
commissioned officer. When they stepped
ashore these rifemen were accom-
panied by 400 German officers described
as volunteers" with field guns, ma
chine guns, hand grenades, 100000
rifles and great quantities of munitions,
food and fodder.
Mannerheim Poorly Equipped.
Ten minutes before the expedition
anchored In the lee of a group of little
islands below Vasa's waterfront park.
Gen. Mannerheim had less than 100
trained officers and only the scantest
food rations, and only ten firearms to
every 100 men, half of these merely old
shotguns. There was less than fifty
rounds Of cartridges to each rife. and
practically no artillery at all. Gen.
Mannerheim had scores of thousands of
men eager to defend their homes and
country, in fact the rough results of
the levee en- masse.
There are no two conclusions to be
drawn regarding the outcome. Dis
patches state that those four trans
ports are only the first contingent of
the expeditionary force. Finland will
speedily be freed"

SEES WASHINGTON LIVING
French Foreign Minister Pichon
Says q. S. Declarations Prin.
ciples Are Being Defended.

Speaking at the foot of the statue of
Washington in Paris Friday, Foreign
Minister Pichon paid an eloquent trib-
ute to Washington's memory and COM
pared his work with that being done by
his successors. Pichon is quoted in an
official dispatch received Yesterday as
follows:
History in the present hour is more
than ever related in our minds to the
history OF the past. and the dead are
united to the living. The homage we
render to Washington is at the same
time addressed to his successors. The
commemoration of his acts is>related

serve as model and which the in

How Sweden Is Affected.

Now let US see how Sweden is affected.
Germany has played the biggest card
she could have played for Scandinavian
popularity. 1t gives her the reputation
here of being an altruistic liberator and
overshadows and draws public atten-
tion away from her annexationist
schemes in the occupied regions of
Poland and Russia. 1t furnishes her
with a powerful claim on the gratitude
of the Swedish conservatives, which
class owns Sweden's iron ore and ships.
1t gives the German government a
powerful reply to it's own people when,
as now. the military authorities, pan
Germans and supporters of the ..mittel
Europa" idea are being accused Of lust
for imperialistic annexation
What we have altruistically done in
Finland we are doing elsewhere" they
can reply.

Demanding Intervention.

In the last two weeks Sweden has
become feverishly eager to see Finland
meetings are held, petitions are pre-
pared and deputations to see the gov
ernment officials are named. Newspa-
pers of all political creeds except the
socialist are demanding armed inter-
vention by Sweden. Even large Sec
ton Of HJa1mar BrantinE's party (the
social democratic) regarded his OPPOSE
ton to Intervention as ill timed There
is reason to believe, however, that
Branting, like other members Of the
cabinet, knew the intentions of Ger
many and merely threw his weight, as
the former most powerful member of
the cabinet, against the growing pres
sure OF the nations demand for inter-
vention in order to save the present
cabinet from being swept away before

We have to work every night
around here, from p. m. to about
5 a. m. You know we are not in the
trenches, but we're pretty close to

Well, anyway, about the time one
gets half asleep here comes one of
those said flies (not fly-but flies.)
Even if one has his head covered
that fly can crawl under the blank

of 'um open a window, fly in and
carry blanket out.
We are in billets. l happened to
find a room 12x12 with chair,
straw-tick and a 3x5 mirror.
The rest of the fellows are sleep

in the form of few gas shells now

Almost everyone has one or two
pets-either fieas or cooties. I have
a couple of fleas. l can't keep them
long; they get too vicious.
wish you could see the layout l
have to carry when l go to the

signal kit to pair of field glasses,
including extra pair of shoes, rifle
and pistol and the Supply Sergeant

LIBERTY DAY CELEBRATION.

"One Who Was Present" writes
as follows:
In response to an appeal from our
Government asking each school dis
trict to have a community celebra-
tion, on October 18th Chapel Grove
gave a very interesting program.
In the morning the patrons rails
ed 5O-foot flag pole, which had
been cut from the woods by two of
the directors. When the flag was
raised all present gave the pledge to
the flag. Then the rules for the care
of the flag were read by one of the
patrons. This was followed by the
singing of our national hymn, "The
Star Spangled Banner" This flag
ceremony was very impressive.
And the dinner-well, l haven't
sufnclent vocabulary to describe
it. So just ask the Rev. Greer or
anyone else who was present and
they can tell you how everyone en-
joyed it.
In the afternoon Miss Mckenzie
and her pupils gave a short patri-
otic program which was thoroly
enjoyed by all. The grand process
sion was especially good in which
all the children marched carrying
bunting, flags, flowers and Liberty
Loan posters, which they had made.
The community singing was an
other interesting feature. The pa
