It will be Wise to treat his wireless
message with the greatest caution.
Never did . statesman SO ignominious-
ly expose himself, but just for that
reason 1t would be mistake to give
way to premature optimism"
The Berlin Boersen Zeitung says: I'm
view OF past experiences with the boil
shevik government, It 10 natural to as
sumo that the new peace preparedness
is nothing else than the old hostility to
peace-namely, a device for the pur-
pose OF undisturbed dissemination OF
general anarchy.
|, The Tageszeitung says: THE Russian
offer proves the manner in which the
bolsheviki yield only to direct compul-
sion. AS soon as this compulsion ceased
they would advance new subterfuges.
Concern Over Francis Stand.
STOCKHOLM, February 22.-Concern
over a report that Ambassador David
r. Francis, at Petrograd. had promised
the Finnish red guard provisions from
America was expressed by M. Gripen-
berg, Finnish minister here, who Wis
tied Ira Nelson Morris, the American
minister to Sweden.
NJ. Gripenberg requested Mr.. Morris
to inquire whether Mr.. Francis was cor
rectly quoted and whether he had ex-
pressed Americas attitude toward the
Finnish situation.
Intervention Suggested.
Sweden has suggested to several
powers that diplomatic intervention be
made in Petrograd to obtain the evacu-
alton of Finland by Russian troops,
Premier Eden announced in the riks-
dag in a supplementary statement on
the Finnish situation. Some of the
powers have sent favorable answers,
while others have not yet replied.
The Finnish government, the premier
added, had refused a Swedish offer to
mediate between itself and the revolu-
tionists and the possibility of peace
full understanding seemed to be ex-
cluded. Nevertheless. Sweden was still
ready to use her good offices.
Recent reports from the Aland Is
lands have encouraged the hope that
Sweden will succeed in saving the is
lands from the bolsheviki and sparing
the inhabitants further suffering.

You know there are homes in which
the advent of one. two and possibly
three children is considered curse
instead of blessing. God in His prov
idence has often denied the honor of
maternity to some women. but there
are married women who shrink from
maternity because they love ease, be-
cause they love fine garments and
ability to fit like a butterfly at some
social function.

The Prince of Hesse is in command of

official information has been received
from Germany that peace negotiations

the Germans intend to occupy those
