WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Premier Liam
oscff of the Russian Northwestern
Government in announcing the un-
qualified and unconditional recognition
of Finland and formally asking for
Finnish cooperation in the anti-Bol-
Shevik campaign, according to an off,
cial despatch from Helsingfors, de-
clsred that he represented Archangel,
Kolchak and Denikine sections as well
as his own.
While the probable action of the Fin
nish Government was not given in the
despatch 1t is considered almost certain
here the territorial demands of Finland
will be agreed to and that the fall Of
Petrograd Is assured.
II was also learned to-day that re-
centS a conference of Prime Ministers
and Foreign Ministers Of Esthonia, Let
via, Lithuania and Finland was held in
Dorpat, Esthonia, to consider a peace
offer made by the Bolshevists. The Of
fer was considered tavorably by all the
countries except Finland, and it was at
the advice Of the Finnish Ministers that
the proposition was rejected Should
Finland join the anti-Bolshevist forces 1t
Is certain that Esthonia, Letvia and
Lthuania will cooperate In the CAM
paign against Petrograd.
Once the Russian capital is taken II
will be policed by the Firms and the
strength of the Russian units can be
DEVOTED entirely to the Moscow Cam
paign.
Finland's demands are that the Pet
Changa coast be ceded to her in accord
ance with the treaty of 1864 between
Russia and Finland, by which this strip
of coast on the Arctic Sea was to be
given to the latter in return for territory
on the Karelia Peninsula between Lake
Ladoga and the Gulf OF Finland that
was given to Russia This treaty was
never kept by Russia. although the prop
erty in karelia was at once taken over
and has been used as sites for mun,tion
and gun factories. Finland also asks
that the inhabitants of eastern Karelia
be given the right to decide by pleb-
iscite whether they shall belong TO Rus
sia or to Finland and that the costs OF
the war shall be paid by Russia.
Finland, however. makes II clear that
she will take no part in the war save
to defend her own territory without the
complete approval and sympathy OF the
western Powers.
Information obtained in Finland from
deserting Russian officers who have been
forced to fight with the Bolshevists In
dicates that the Reds are strong in their
artillery, which is handled by former
Russian officers who have been coerced
into the Bolshevik ranks, II has been
declared by one OF the Bolshevist COM
lnissaries that there are 100000 former
Russian officers on their side. 1t lie
known that thousands of Russian officers
have been conscripted and many OF these
are serving in the ranks.

| BERLIN, Nov. 3--At least eight per-
| sons were killed or injured last night
when the giant airship Bodensee at
tempted a landing near Berlin. The
Bodensee came from Friedrichshafen
and arrived here about o'clock with
passengers. She carried about thirty
people altogether. She landed in a
high wind. smashed her forward gon-
dola, in which were a number of peo-
pie, and then tore loose and was blown
away.
Up till 2 o'clock this morning no
further news had been received Of the
Bodensee.
An eyewitness of the accident says:
II saw the airship arrive and the wind
was very rough. The people helping
her land were mostly voluntary peo-
pie who had apparently come to wei
come their friends. There seemed to
be half dozen officials besides assist
ing in this work. They caught hold
of the landing ropes. There was no
order given for landing the vessel.
II heard battering three times as
the<wind got under the vessel. the nose
Of which dived again and again, the
front gondola being smashed up like a
concertina. She dived five times. or
the people on the ground. one was killed
and about half a dozen injured. The
Zeppelin then ascended into the air, the
lights went out and she vanished. It
is believed one pilot or controller in the
front gondola WAS killed or badly in
tured.
when the vessel first descended the
passengers were able to talk to their
friends. one woman calling to her hus-
band they had a very bad voyage and
she would never undertake 1t again"
II is stated that the wireless of the
Bodensee was damaged. Hopes are en-
tertained that as her crew were all
aboard they will be able to navigate
her. Snow is falling and the wind is
intensely cold and very strong, This is
the first serious accident to an airship
running a passenger service. The Bo-
densee has been carrying passengers
over Germany for some time. She is
the latest type of Zeppelin.

GRAFTON of Labor charged that the btu
ninous coal operators of the United

Philip Penna, spokesman for the
operators at the joint conference of
coal operators, said 81 notice that
since coming to this conference the

the operators have been purposely
cutting down their production for the

Get Rid of His Title if
Possible.
BY the Associated Press.

PLYMOUTH, England, Nov. 3-Lady
Astor in her speech tonight on her
adoption as Unionist candidate for
Parliament told those who had gath
| cred to hear her that 1t was because
she had "the mirth of the British
Tommy who could laugh while going
over the top" she was able to face the
tremendous responsibility OF attempt
ing to become the first woman mem
Der Of the House of Commons.
II realize that it depends on how
behave myself there" she added,
| whether other women will get in"
A moment later she said: "It took
the spirit OF Drake and the faith of the
Pilgrim Fathers to get me here to-
night"
Viscount Astor came forward to pre-
| sent his wife, saying: II have been
asked to introduce to you my success
sor. your future representative" This
was greeted with loud cheers and
laughter, and Lord Astor went on:
Il have been asked presumably be-
| cause know more about her than any
one else. Although she is light of
heart, nevertheless she is mindful OF
the responsibilities"
! Lord Astor Wishes to Lose Title
Viscount Astor declared that 1t was
his intention to do everything possible
again to become the candidate of the
people in the next election for the House
of Commons.
Lady Astor said she came before the
people as a substitute for one whom she
felt even his opponents would admit to
be one of the highest minded and ablest
men in the House of Commons to-day.
She was not a warming pan, although
she hoped by next election that Viscount
Astor would once more be a free man
and able to come himself to be their
Commoner.
Some people. said Lady Astor, found 1t
difficult to get a title, but her husband
was finding it even harder to get rid OF
his. He had fought the peoples battles
now for ten Years. she added. and they
could give him their moral support by
returning his wife TO Parliament so that
she could continue his work. She might
have many faNts. she asserted, but
feebleness was not one of these.
