WASHINGTON, March 2o.-Using
Bolsheviki have started an offensive
against Finland, according to official
dispatches received to-day at the Fin
nish Legation here. The advices said
the Bolsheviki were concentrated at
Hyrsyla and Rajakontu and that their
apparent detectives were Sucmussalmi,
Kuolajarvi, Liefsa, Inari and Kuu-
sarao.
The front of attack is from the Lake
Of Ladoga to the Arctic Ocean, ap-
proximately 1900 miles. Officials at
the legation here believe it was made
on this front to divert attention from
the front between the Lake of Ladoga
and the Gulf of Finland, which is
nearest the heart of Russia.

Paris Decides Pub
lie Baths Good Thing

Paris, Dec. 3-(By Associated
Press)-The Paris Municipal Coun-
Gil has decided that public swimming
baths are not only necessity but
that they are likely to prove a paying
venture and has asked the city ar
chitects to prepare plans for three
baths to be erected in Paris within
is months. The only swimming
baths in Paris except for those
moored along the Seine banks which
although popular in the summer
months, prove no attraction in win
ter.
The probable cost Of each estab-
lishment is estimated at 100000
francs. Delegates from the Munich
pal Council have been sent to AL
SAGE to inspect the baths there. The
Paris baths are to be modelled after
those of Strasbourg.

Pierce, Mars Hill,
Believes in ADVERTISING.

Mars Hill, Me-, Dec. 21-About q
week ago T. J. Pierce sold his grocery
store, receiving $500 in cash, which
he put in his safe. The next morning
the money was gone. He had either
forgotten to lock the safe or it was
taken by some one who knew the
combination. Believing that it was
an, inside job" by local talent, Mr..
Pierce put an advertisement in the
local paper, to the effect that the
thief was known and if the money
was returned promptly very serious
trouble would be avoided.
This las a bluff, as Mr.. Pierce
admits that he had no positive evil
dence as to who took the money.
However, It worked, as the repentant
or alarmed thief left i little more
than $1,000 in a paper bag on the
doorstep Of the Pierce residence. Mr.
Pierce says that he always believed
in advertising.

and the coming Of Santa Claus. Almost
800 children were in attendance, be-
sides mothers Of a number Of them.

gram was the arrival Of Santa Claus,
who asked all the little boys and girls
what they wanted for Christmas. Jcs-
eph Grenier made a most jolly and
efficient Santa. Then boxes Of candy
were distributed as well as ice cream
in cones.
The program Of the afternoon was
furnished by the pupils Of the two
lower grades. who had been carefully
coached in their parts by the Sisters.
Christmas greeting was given by
Eleanor Cunning. The children sang
Twilight Town." christmas Carol"
Silent Night" why Do Bells for
Christmas Ring?" and Rally Round

Sisters in conducting the party. This
is an annual event and the children Of
the school look forward to it with
eagerness. There were refreshments
aplenty and the second helping went
the rounds for all those who desired
more.
The moving pictures were all that
was necessary to make the happiness
of the little ones complete. Every
Friday afternoon free moving pictures
are held in the hall for all children
who desire to attend. The hall is
equipped with a moving picture ma
chine which makes the arrangement
q most convenient one.
