FinIand's ArhstocracY,

One of the anomalies of Finland
now struggling for its independence
is that it has inherited foreign ar.
istocracy, speaking Swedish. How for.
eign it remains to the true interests
of Finland may be seen from the fact
that it has all along worked for Ger
man Intervention in Finland, and ever
helped to send thousands of young
Firms to join the German army. With
the importation of German rulers int
Finland, the Finnish language win have
che more competitor to cut it from the
linguistic field, unless Swedish is en-
tirely driven out by the language of Tx
newly arrived supermen.

ed in a letter from brother officer in

would have been promoted to the rank
of major.
IL you haven't heard an account of
his death, / will try to tell you how
it happened On Oct. IA, just as we
had finished supper the captain went
off ON his horse to inspects the posts at
military police, which were estab-
lished He said when he left that he
would return within an hour or two.
The next morning at breakfast he fail
ed to show up, so we sent runners in
an effort to find him. Later In the
day four men who had been with the
captain reported back at headquarters
and said the captain had been killed.
He had taken up bunch of infantry
men who were lost from their organ
izatiOn. Upon arriving at the trenches
there was a scarcity of officers, so he
decided to stay and take the men
lover the top" the next morning In
the fight that followed Captain Munro
was killed by German machine gun
fire. He was buried by Chaplain
