Firms WILL NOT FIGHT REDS.
Finland Backs Out When Anti Boil
shevist Leaders Fall.


New York. Dec. Is.-Ftnland need
not be counted upon for aggressive &C
tion against bolshev1sm, according to
II. Montsgu Bonner, an American who
has Just returned from a two months
visit to the new republic In the north.
Mr.. Bonner, who is president Of the
Finland Constitutional League OF
America. said that the chance to en-
list the active cooperation Of tho Fin
nish army In the campaign against
Petrograd was lost this summer. when
Admiral Kolchak, General Yudenitch
and the other anti bolshevist Russian
leaders neglected to give timely rec
ognition to the independence OF Fin
land and the allied governments re-
fused to give assurances OF financial
support without which Finland could
not venture TO enter upon war with
the soviet government.
At that time, he said, the morale OF
the bolshevist army was low and the
capture Of Petrograd by the combined
Russian, Esthonian and Finnish ar
mics would have been easy. Now. with
the collapse Of the Yudenitch cam
paign, Finland must confine herself to
holding her frontiers and protecting
eastern Karelia, which abe had been
invited by the inhabitants to occupy.
Fear Of bolshevisn in Finland It
self. he said, had entirely disappeared,
even moderate socialists having as
eured the existing coalition govern
ment Of their support in case OF a re-
vfvaI Of the Red" insurrectionary
movement which was suppressed with
20 much difficulty a year ago. Fear
has disappeared, too. Of repetition

.ARMENIANS ARE STARVING

Continuing their persecution of the
Armenian refugees in the Caucasus,
even after the signing of the armis-
ticc, it is reported that the Turks have
destroyed large quantities Of food,
with the deliberate intention Of Great
ing famine. AS a result at least
$50 900 of the refugees in that region
are starving.
In letter to the American Commit
tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief,
Harrison A. Maynard, who is in
charge of the administration of it's
relief funds, in the Caucasus, says:
"The Caucasus is a devastated land,
the people in misery. On their with
drawal from this regin, following the
armistice-mark that, following the
armistice-the Turks destroyed prop
erty and carried away great quanti-
ties Of food stufTs. Othe rcuantities,
which they could not carry, they de-
stroyed, with the stated purpose of
creating a famine in armenia.
"Previous harsh government, anar-
chy and the devastation caused by the
war have left the people found here,
especially the refugees, in truly aw-
full state. With my own eyes | have
seen people eating the flesh of a
corpse, the entrails of sheep, the
clotted blood from slaughtcrhouse
and other things. The city of Alex
andropol is trying to feed 2G,000.
Once a day it gives them soup COM
posed as follows: eight pounds Of
wheat and twenty-seven pounds Of
meat and bones cooked in plenty Of
water. This amount is divided
amongst 200 people. Each person
receives less than three ounse of solid
food in about half a tcacup Of water.
They are slowly starving to death.
Would that you could visit our or
phanagcs in which we keep $500 or
phanS, and see their rosy checks and
hear their noise, and then visit the or
phanagcs which the native people try
to support. The children are dull anl
llfclcSS because of undertaking. There
are some five or six thousand Of them
whom we must take over if they are
to be saved.
"Thc conservative estimate of the
British Intelligence Department, with
which we are in closes; touch, csti-
mates that there are 100000 people
here in great need"

which entaled an estimated loss of
about $4,000 in the west end busi-
ness section was raging at midnight
last night, Mrs. j. w. Mcfarland, a
former school teacher, who processes
to hold an NJ. a. degree from Van

tions from Sheriff Hendrix Rector,
who stated that she had confessed to
him that she started the conilagration
Of last night, and also that she set
fire to the old Chicora College build
ing, later known as Colonial Apart
ments, when that $4,000 structure
was burned about two months ago.
Sheriff Rector stated that Mrs. Nc
Farland, whose husband is in France
with the a. f. f., confessed to him
last night that she started both fires,
seeming to glory for the time being
in the deeds, but Mrs. Mcfarland
stoutly denies any knowledge of the
origin of either, and fatty contradicts

creased by the fact that even Mrs.
Roosevelt was not there. Never be-
fore had he known both Of them to
be absent for such a length of time.
Clearly there must be something
wrong, and so in his faithful canine
brain he brooded SO steadily that
one day Charlie Lee, the Colonels
colored chauffeur and driver, who
had been left in charge of the place,
discovered that Shady was gone.
For days search was made for the
dog, and finally the news was taken
to the Colonel. At once he ordered
that a reward be posted and that
search be made through all the
neighborhood. Each day he inquired
anxiously if a report had been re-
ceived Of the finding of Shady,
and with each note Of instructions
that he dispatched to Oyster Bay
he underscored the request to find
the missing dog, no matter what the
cost. Finally, after ten days, the
missing canine was discovered-a
pitiful shadow Of his former self,
shivering and whimpering under a
hodge. When the Colonel was abls
New-York tribune., 1919-10-19

to leave the hospital and return to
his beloved country home Shady
was on the front veranda, ready to
receive him, and no one gave him a
more cordial welcome.
In the "dog cemetery" of the
Roosevelt home there are many
graves. For instance, there is a
mound erected over the resting
place Of Skip, for years his mas
ter's favorite. Skip was given to
the Colonel while on Western
hunting trip, and during his life
was his constant companion, wheth-
er walking, riding or studying in
his library, in which spacious room
it was Skip's pleasure to curl
luxuriously on a rug under the
Colonel's desk. When Skip depart
ed this life the Colonel deposited the
body of his mourned canine friend
in pine box with his own and
lowered it into the earth, with a
solemnity by which his sincerity
could not be doubted. A mound
was fashioned over the grave, as
was the case with the others of the
Colonel's dogs which had been
buried there, and in due time
stone slab was erected at the head
Of the grave, with the name and
date Of the dogs death neatly in
scribed.
Among the other occupants of
the "dog cemetery" of the Roosevelt
estate there are Jack and Boz
and Jessie and Susan, all be-
loved Of their master and all de-
serving the unique homage be-
slowed upon them, for the Colonel
was as critical in his selection Of
dog friends as he was in His choice
OF human friends. All were buried
by the Colonel himself. This last
ceremony was one that he never
delegated to others, but which he
insisted upon performing with his
own hands. And so it was with
the entire scheme Of the little
graveyard. 1t was his own concep-
tion, even to the flowers that he
planted about its borders. It
pleased him to treat his dog
friends in death as they had treat
ed him in life. Their faithfulness
to him never had been questioned
in his opinion he could do no less
than to show his appreciation after
they had gons wherever good
dogs 60.

A Reception Not in the
japanese Style,
But-Bu!!Iy!

r IMMEDIATELY following the
i United States entry into the
war foreign delegations WIS.,
tied this country, first going to
Washington and then journeying to
the larger cities. Practically all of
them went to Oyster Bay to meet
Colonel Roosevelt, not only because
he was the former President but
because he knew many Of the t,r-
eigners through meeting them on his
trips to foreign lands.
Just what the members of the
Japan mission thought when they
first saw him is matter of con-
lecture. Undoubtedly they had read
much about him and pictured him
in some of his characteristic ways.
but to have him appear before them
in knickerbockers, an old brown
shirt without a collar and a dilapi-

dated broad-ljrimmed hat must have
been a distinct shock. But the
Coloneps appearance in such garb
was due to a misunderstanding. The
members of the mission were in
New York City and had telephoned
him asking if they could come to
Sycamore Hill and see him. His
reply was cordial invitation to
luncheon the' following day, the
hour being set at / o'clock.
At IL o'clock the Japanese. all
except the army officers, wearing
high silk hats and frock coats
drove up in their decorated auto
mobiles to Sycamore Hill. The
servants, as they saw the members

to the porch, were astounded. as

within him.
Just as mike" Donovan has tes.
tilted that when he boxed with
President Roosevelt his distin-
gulshed adversary always hit hard
and wanted to be hit hard in return.
so the ex-President insisted that
his aerial pilot show him every
thing that was to be shown in this
new but equally exciting game.
So, for an hour, the Colonel re-
mained aloft. When the aeroplane
finally descended and made a safe
landing Charlie Lee gave vent to
a great sigh of relief
"Well, what did you think Of TT"
asked the army officers, crowding
around to congratulate the Colonel.
He showed his teeth in that grin
that is so we'll remembered.
"Bully!" There was q volume IN
that one word.
Later the Colonel confided to q
few warm friends that he was par
ticularly anxious to make the trip
and learn all about the various
stunts at first hand, because his boy
Quentin would be doing that sort
Of thing and he had never asked
his boys to do anything that he
wouldn't be willing to do himself.
A few days later the aviator who
had piloted the Colonel was killed
by fall at Mineola. His death
saddened the Colonel, who spoke in
the highest terms Of the young
mans skill and Judgment in the
air.
Less than ten months later Quen-
tin Roosevelt was killed during an
air battle with German aviators.

N THE rear Of the home of the
late Theodore Roosevelt at

~ IA rear OF the home of the
b late Theodore Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay, one may see a flow
er bordered square Of ground 80
closely resembling a cemetery that
would probably give cause to pause
In curious contemplation. We dis
covered that it is not cemetery in
the ordinary sense of the word. and
then as we linger we find that it Is
cemetery after all--perhaps one
Of the most remarkable buryinp
grounds to be found in America. It
is the spot-dear to Colonel Roose-
velt-where, in turn, for nearly a
quarter of century, he buried his
favorite dogs, and these which, for
one reason or another, had endeared
themselves to his family.
Among all the characteristic traits
Of Theodore Roosevelt there was
none more prominent than his love
for animals. His was nature which
instantly appreciated and responded
to the fealty of dumb brute, and
his family of pets was notable
among all who had the privilege Of
intimate association with him. He
was particularly fond of dogs and
horses, and he was keen Judge OF
the merits Of both, as was amply
proved by those he left behind him
at his country home in the country
side Of Long Island. He used to say
there was no better judge Of man
than a dog, and that no man who
had q four footed friend could ever
be wholly bad. On this principle
dog was always sure of CHEEKY, re-
assuring pat from the man who had
held the highest office in the gift Of
the American people--a man 80 big
that he was human enough to recog-
nize the friendly wag Of canine
tail and the faithful yearning in an
animals eyes, hungcring for sym
pathetic encouragement in the rough
road of dogs life. Theodore Roosc

CLASSES Of men--and no did not con-
