Amid the breaking up of empires
the birth of new nations and the re-
birth of old ones, Finland seems TO
have come in for place as an inde-
pendent country, something that she
never has been before since the thlr-
teenth century. when the rims were
subiurated and Christianized by the
Swedes. For over hundred years Fin
land formed an integral part or the
Swedish realm and furnished to that
kingdom host of men eminent in
,.or ond neoce. Under Swedish rule
Finland enjoyed an autonomous con-
stitutonal government and developed
n unique civilization of Its own.
Swedish was spoken in the towns ana
nv the cultured class. but the peas
antry clung to the old Finnish tongue.
Then came the invasion of Finland
nv Russia in 1909 and the treaty OF
Frederikshavn, by which Finland
nossed TO Russia and the troubles of
the Films began.
The Firms are rather singular peo-
ple to find In the northwestern corner
of Europe, being Mongolians, tribe
of that race which, wandering or driven
from the great plateau of Central Asia,

tho Baltic sea and the Arctic ocean.

When Peter the Great built his new
ropital amid the swamps of the Neva

looked upon Finland as something that
must eventually be hers. The adven-
tures of Charles MI Of Sweden af-
forded Peter his first opportunity to
seize part of the coveted territory.

growing power of Russin as Peter was

itself the Ukraine. the destinies of the
two nntionsc for while hung In the
balance. But "victory passed to the

Spanish viceroys waged war on the
other colonies. In Upper Peru. or
what is now Bolivia, however. there
was strong antagonlsm to the royal
authority which spread gradually to
the other parts Of viceroyalty and
rendered the Spanish supremacy pre-
carious. In 1921 this Peruvian move
ment had gained such strength that
an assembly of Peruvians declared
Independence. though the viceroy still
held his post and, by the command of
the sea which he possessed and the
strength of the royal forces, still
fought to subdue South America to
the Spanish crown.
srazil's Independence Declared.
In 1922 Brazil declared its indie
pendence of Portugal and set up as an
empire under the head Of the royal
house of BraganZa, who gave up his
claims to the Portuguese throne. In
the tumut which ragged around her
in South America Brazil took no part.
Her revolution was peacefully accom-
plished and her Independence peace
fully secure. But all Spanish-Amer-
lea was in a state of chaos The
revolted colonies could not even agree
among themselves and were rent by
international discords. 1t looked as
If Spain, by vigorous effort, might
yet restore her authority in South
America, attacking the revolted col
onies in detail.
Simon Bolivar had now succeeded
in forming out of Venezuela, New
Granada and Ecuador the Republic
of Colombia. He saw that union was
necessary for the securing Of the in
dependence Of the colonies and In
January of 1923 sent Don Joaquin
/ Mosquera to Buenos Ayres to propose
defensive alliance of the United
Province of La Plata and the Repub-
lie of Colombia.
Hoped to Have Colonies Unite.
Rivadavia was professionally in
charge Of the La Plata government.
His iliea was to have all the colonies
unite in a peaceful understanding with
the mother country by which the rev.
olution should be completed; he was
evidently listening to the siren song
of the royal commissioners. Mosquera
insisted upon. military alliance
against Spain.
The result was that for the first
time Spanish South America showed n
united front. The treaty was signed
on March 8, 1923. On December 8,
1924. was fought in southern Peru
the battle of Ayacucho in which Gen
eral Sucre with the allied army de-
feated and captured the Spanish vice

generals gave up their swords TINT

The independence of Spanish South
America was rendered possible by the
Treaty of Buenos Ayres, which united
all of Spain's revolted colonies below
the Isthmus of Panama in league
against the mother country. or any
other country which should question
their right to set up for themselves
as free and independent nations.

The revolution in Buenos Ayres

clared, what is now the Argentine Re-

revolted In 1910, proclaimed its in

to unite with La Plata, which, as yet,
had not revOlted. Uruguay had been
made part of Brazil in some Of the

But good chance to grab all Fin

"Gibraltar Of the North"
With the fall of Sveaborg, which
the Swedes called the "Gibraltar of the
North" all hope of saving Finland was
lost but during the summer Finnish
army fought several battles with the
Russian troops not without success.
In the fall, however, the Russian army
was increased, and on September IA
was fought the battle of Oravais, fa-
nous in' Finnish annals. The battle
lasted 10 hours and was only decided
in favor of the Russians by the timely
arrival of re-enforcements. In this
battle the Swedes and Films lost 1900
killed, one-thlrd of the whole force with
which they went into battle. The rem
nants of the army withdrew under the
cover of night, when the increased
number of Russians made it folly to
continue the battle, and crossed the
Swedish frontier. Finland was now
lost. In Stockholm when the disastrous
news reached there, the king was de-
posed and his son, Prince Charles made
regent. In Seeland lay French army
under Bernadotte-destined to be-
come king of Sweden later-ready to
attack. The regent now turned his
attention to Russia and attempted to
drive out Russian army which oc-
cupied West Bothnia. He was unsuc-
cessful. but finally that army withdrew
of Its own accord. The car now sig.
nified that he was willing to treat for
peace and on September II signed Mt
Frederlkshavn treaty by which Swe-
den gave up to Russia nll of Finland
and the Aland islands. After that
treaty Finland was in constant stnte
of unrest and contention with her Rus
sian masters. Now she proposes to ret

to compel the attention Of the most

OF the new blouses reveals neat effects
