by their craft for three hours ready 10

1t became certain that landing on the
other side" figuring on n twenty-four
hour crossing, would have to be made
in darkness.
Raynham probably will get Off to-mor-

wind will swerve.

Hawker, like Raynham and Morgan
considered wind and weather promising

OF a closely competitive race.
Everything was in readiness in the big

BOLSHEVIKI DRIVEN
OUT BY FINN ARMY
National Assembly Forms at
Olonetz After Victory by
Volunteer Troops.

HELsINoFoRs, April 2s.-A National
Assembly has been formed at Olonetz.
10 miles northeast of Petrograd. where
the Firms have driven out the Bolshe.
wiki. The town was captured, according
to reports, by volunteer troops.
The newspapers report to-day that
Finnish volunteers on Saturday cap
tured the town Of Lotinanpolto. on the
White Sea. The town is an important
strategic point, being the junction of
numerous roads and the railway be-
tween Petrograd and the Thurman coast,
which is now closed to the Bolsheviki.
1t Is assumed that the Bolsheviki tor
pedo boat fiotilla at Lotinanpolto was
unable to escape owing to the ice.
The capture OF Olonetz by forces op-
posed to the Bolsheviki may have an
important effect on the allied campaign
along the Murmansk railway and,
through II, on the situation In the Arch
angel region. For several weeks allied
forces commanded by Gen. Maynard
have been pressing southwark along the
Murmansk railway and were last re-
ported approaching Povienetz, at the
northern end of Lake Omega. From
Povienetn the Murmansk railway swings
westward and before It reaches the
southeastern edge of Lake Ladoga, II
comes within a few miles Of Olonetz.
A Stockholm report Sunday said that
q revolt had broken out in Olonetz. and

facing Gen. Maynard may be cut of

WASHINGTON, April 2S The STATE
Department was advised to-day Of the
ssisure of the American fishing schooner
Cape Horn by the Mexican authorities
on the ground that she carried muni-
tons for revolutionists.
The schooner, which hailed from Gal
weston, was captured IN Mexican terri
torial waters. according to the advices
and taken to Vera Cruz, where she Is
being held.
Formal charges have not been pre-
ferred. but the State Department In
making officiai inquiries into the reasons
for the seizure.
Refusal by Mexico to recognize the
financial clause OF the armistice terms
by which Germany pledged herself to
the Allies not to dispose OF any of her
stocks In specie or any Of her foreign
title deeds or bonds abroad, whether in
the possession of the Government banks
or private individuals or companies, is n
subject Of discussion in Paris, It was
learned to-day at the State Department
Any action taken In the matter will be
for the present directed oy the represen-
tatives Of the associated Governments
and not by the United States on its own
Initiative. Action. Of some kind, how
ever. Is looked for as soon as the peace
treaty is out OF the way
Mexico made known her attitude In
q reply to NJ. F. de Jean. French Charge
d'Affaires. who. IN the name Of the
French Government, warned the Next
can Government OF the determination
of the Allies not to permit Germany
TO profit In any way by the sale Of
securities ana thus cheat the Allies of
part of the damage naturalization that
was to be demanded of Germany. This
was agreed to by Germany in signing
the armistice terms. but the Carransa
Government replied that action on the
part Of Mexico in preventing any such
sales would violate the terms Of a treaty
between Mexico and Germany and that
the Mexican Government would not ac-
cede to the request OF the Allies.
A similar reply was made to the
French Government when the same
warning was conveyed to Mexico re-
. garding Austro- Hungarian financial
holdings.
II is believed in official circles here
that this attitude Of the Carranza Gov
crnment was partly responsible for the
failure OF the French Government to
receive Alberto ]. PAM as Minister to
