Pope BENEDICT GRANTS
RECOGNITION TO FINLAND
Ambassadors Of New Republic Wei
coined at Vatican.
PAPAL HoNoRs CONFERRED
ON LEADERS OF DELEGATION
Significant Event Indicates Pontiff's
Attitude Toward All Small
Nations.

Rome, March 12.-(Special Core
spondence to The Messenger)-In the
ceremony which took place in the old
est and most magnificent of palaces
on the 3rd inst, the love of liberty
ever borne by the Vicar of Christ for
small as we'll as great nations was
once more exemplified. Let me go
into the details of the meeting be-
tween the Vicar of Christ and the
Finnish ambassadors because of the
place it is destined to hold in history.
The members of the delegation sent
by the six months old republic of
Finland consisted of Laurence Kill
man, president; Eugene Wolff, and
Tancree Boremius, secretary. The
great bells of the Vatican had just
struck IL when the Pontiff took his
seat in the throne room. On each
side of the throne stood the court
dignitaries, ecclesiastical and lay, and
Noble Guards.
The next moment a prelate led the
Films from Sala Degli Arazzi to the
foot of the most venerable of thrones.
President Kihlman's address was
brief, full of respect, businesslike and
read in a clear, manly tone. In the
name of his government, he asked the
Holy See to enter into direct diplo.
matte relations with the Republic of
Finland, accompanying his request by
recalling the historical tradition which
makes the Holy See so high moral
authority in war and peace, whose
prestige is daily growing in influence.
Yes, the Holy See would enter into
relations with the young republic, and
the sentiments expressed by it's am.
bassadors were of a nature pleasing
to the Pope. His Holiness then left
the throne room and invited the dele.
cation to his private library. There,
after brief conversation, Pope Bene-
dict with his own hand invested the
president of the delegation and Mr..
Wolff with the Grand Cross of the
Order of Gregory the Great, and the
secretary with the insignia of knight
Commander of the same order.
Leaving the Pope's presence with
expressions of most profound graft
tude, the ambassadors, escorted by
the Swiss Guards, repaired to the
apartments of the Papal Secretary of
State.
AS they proceeded they passed be-
tween double lines of Palatine Guards
and the Papal Gendarmes drawn up
to do them honor Business finished
with Cardinal Gasparri, the delegation
left the Vatican after spending just so
minutes in the place.
Probably they were the most impor-
tant minutes that passed these four
years. BY his recognition of the Fin
nish republic, the Vicar of Christ pro.
claimed the truth and justice Of Mr.
Wilson's pronouncement for the rights
Of small nations to rule their own af-
fairs. One Roman daily says of the
Vatican proceedings:
"The duty accomplished today by
the ambassadors of Finland must be
remembered as one of the significant
events in the history of the church
and humanity"

True, Every Word Of 1t.

Our state is dotted with villages, in
each of which one or more newspapers
are published. They do not claim to be
a review of the world. These country
newspapers appear faithful week after
week, recording the happenings of the
neighborhood, lending assistance to
the unfortunate, extending sympathy
and consolation to the bereaved, chron-
icling with pride any improvements
in the community and bringing to the
fireside a record Of happenings that
are of more Importance to the readers
than the browning of George V. as
emperor Of India.
The country newspaper is OF ines
timable value in maintaining the
moral and financial Standards of the
community. 1t is something in which
the entire neighborhood can feel a
common interest. 1t Ms deserving of
the support not only Of the home
folks, but also Of those who look back
with cherished memories to their life

The REVIEW
Eagle River, Wis.
Our Handicap.

Just before this Fourth Liberty
Loan drive the war debt of the
United States stood at ten and half
billion dollars. BY war debt we
mean that contracted since the dec
laration of war. At that time the
combined American, British, French
and italian war debt was sixtyfOur
billion dollars and the war debt Of the
Central Powers was forty-fve billions.
That is very fair showing for our
side in view Of the undetermined
Teuton efficiency and Of the condi-
tions under which Germany's enc
mics are obliged to fight. Increasing
Nv. the war has proved much more ex-
penslve for US than for Germany.
We fight at lohg range; Germany, at
short range.
That is our handicap. 1t runs into
money at an enormous rate-into
billions upon billions. Keep it in
especially when you read
those comforting comparisons OF our
wealth and Germany's wealth.
We are committed to vastly expen-
sive undertaking. In sustaining the
fighting line the German dollar far
outcounts ours. 1t is cold, literal
fact that that we have no dollars to
waste. -Saturday Evening Post.

The u. S. senatorial investi-
cation of Senator LaFollette's
st. Paul speech in 191 Z, and var
ious other alleged reasonable
acts, seems to have resolved it
self into a reproduction Of the

comedy play entitled, Much
ado About Nothing
Likewise, the more recent
grand stand talk of inqniring
into the primary election expen-
ditures of Newberry, who de-
feated Henry Ford, in Michigan
has received a No cause for

ency in getting it's supporters
out of dangerous waters, the

commend it.

to US that compared with what

that a monument containing the

Langlade county isn't going to be
without a county agricultural agent.
The county board, as was noted in
the Journal Saturday, recOnsldered
it's action and continued the office.
Mr.. Swobada appeared before the
board andSgaye brief review OF the
work that had been done. The ben
efits that accrued to the farmers be-
causesof the work of this office has
been such as to make it almost a
crime to think of discontinulng it.
During the past summer the office
treated seed oats for the prevention
of smutswhich meant more in one
year to those farmers than the en-
tire cost Of the office. That is only
one item; there are many others. 1t
is not a question of sentiment, the
Office means actual dollars .tOsthe
farmers. Amigo Journal.
We are led to a reprint Of the
above for the reason that when Villas
county first went into the business
of maintaining d County Agricultu-
raj representative we were not
deeply impressed with the necessity
or practicability of such move.
During the time of Mr.. Gunderson's
engagement here we have become
convinced that the Office is an i'm
portant one for the developing coan-
ties OF northern Wisconsin to cont in
ne. Not only in matters of crop and
livestock advice has he proved al
aid to farmers consulting him, but
his help in securing pure bred stock
and grains, and free advice and assis-
tance in S Ito building mas proved his
worth to the county in a ratio we be-
lieve greatly in excess of the per cap
tia cost.
Under his present contract Mr..
Gunderson still has another year to
serve, and were it otherwise, we
should be sorry tc see that office
abolished at time when expansion
in every line of agricultural develo p
ment is desirable and necessary.

Poland is to be another sindepen-

ing it kingdom ruled by a German
prince. Roumania was forced to make
a peace which gave Germany practical
control, and since the treaty was sign
ed Germany has been making new and
harder conditions all the time and en-
forcing them at the point of the bayo-
net.
From of all these states Germany
viii have gained an indusMioussand
virile population which, if organized
under the German plan, would furnish
an addition Of some 100000 men TO
Germany's armies. The central pow
ars, then, if allowed to keep these con-
quests, would be able, after few
years of rest and recupersaion, to put
an army of 100000 men in the field,
to feed and clothe them without cali

dominate the avenues OF communica-

would be at their mercy when they
chose to strike again.

Former governor William d.
Hoard, died at his home at Fort
Atkinson last week at the age of
81. He first attained promln-
ience as the editor Of Hoard's
Dairyman, which has done more
to advance the dairying interests
of Wisconsin than other med
ium. In 1889 he was elected
governor. Two years later ne
was defeated for reelection by
Geo. w. Peck, on an issue that
through politicians appeals to
race, religion and ignorance,
placed the Democratic party IN
power, and through the repeal
of the Bennett law, an educa-
tiohal measure strongly defend
ed by Gov. Hoard, helped to
create conditions which the
state suffers from today and
from which it will continue to
suffer until law is enacted and
enforced, prohibiting the teach
ing Of foreign languages in the
grade schools from which the
majority Of people derive all of
their education. Although his
championship Of Americanism
lost him his position as COVER
nor, Mr.. Hoard never retreated
from his stand, and as late as
the past summer in his paper,

Committee of the Union League

The greatest peril to America and
to the world now lies on the eastern
front. The tentacles of the German
octopus, in spite of allied victories In
the west, now have strangle hold on
the land from the Arctic ocean to the
Black sea, and Germany's great peace
offensive" is designed to get out OF
the war if possible without losing
what she has gained n the east.
Fifty-fve million souls have been
reduced to- virtual slavery and 494,552
square miles of territory have been
overrun by the Germans as result
Of the war on the eastern front. A
territory more than twice the size OF
the present German empire has come
under German rule, and the population
Of the German empire itself is but
few millions greater than that of the
lands which have fallen prey to the
kaiser's armies or his intriguing diplo-
mats.
Would Keep Hold on East.
Germany can no longer hope for VIC
tory on the western front. The weight
of Americas millions at last is be-
ginning to be felt, and the kaisers
legions are moving backward. But
Germany has not lest hope of keeping
what she mas gained on the eastern
front. She believes that the attention
Of the allies can be distracted by large
concessions in the west, and that her
diplomats will succeed where her
armies have failed, so that she will
