Half of the population of Finland
one and half million PROFESSIONALLY
are in need of food, American Minister
Morris. at Stockholm. reported to the
State Department yesterday in a mes
sage describing conditions in that
country and the Baltic provinces.
Food conditions in Finland" the
minister said, ARE acute and require
immediate attention and relief. West
ern and northern regions, together with
Helsingfors and other cities. are abso-
lutely destitute owing to unproduc-
tivity and the fact that grain imports
normally depended on from Russia
have been cut Off"
Mr. Morris reported that the Baltic
states. comprising Esthonia, Livonia
and Courland. were facing extreme pri-
walton. and that the bolshevik invasion
of Esthonia had resulted in the de-
struction of food supplies, which, il
continued, would leave it destitute
Nothing is left in Livonia and
Courland," he added, land Immediate
relief is essential to prevent IA ca
lamity.

GRlDIRON RESOLUTIONS
ON ROOSEVELT'S DEATH
Club Pays High Tribute to Former
President as Friend and Pa
triotic American.

~ the meeting OF the Gridiron
Club held yesterday the following
resolutions on the death of former
President Roosevelt were adopted:
-Our friend of many years has gone
over the Great Divide Theodore
Roosevelt fills more pages in the an
mails Of the Gridiron Club than any
other half dozen men. We may take
IL as a compliment that the man who
has recently passed away, and who is
acclaimed by the world as the great
est personality of his time, was par
ticulariy adapted to Gridiron ex-
ploitation. His resourcefulness, activ-
tty, exuberance and, more than all
tton, enabled the Gridiron Club to
portray in wit and satire the chief
events OF seven crowded years. No
other man in such exalted station
ever lent himself SO willingly and
successfully to the needs of the club.
1t was a give-and-take game he
played and he played it fair. He ac-
eeptsd with every evidence of pleasure
the shafts and darts sent his way,
and. like true sportsman. replied in
kind. blow for blow and jest for jest
Tt Is a tribute to his character, en-
ergy and prominence that he never
attended a Gridiron dinner, whethe r
as ciSn service commissioner. assist
ant secretary of the Navy or Presi-
dent Of the United States. that he was
not featured as a part of the events
OF the time. And even since he babe
us good bye his activity in world af-
fairs furnished material for many OF
We mourn him as a friend; we
honor him as a patriotic American
And with sincere respect we pay this
tribute to his memory"

an effort to halt the prisoner and pro-
tect himself from violence at the
