ready to repeat the bloody at

If another rebellion comes
and it is more than probable
all the civic elements will again
stand shoulder against shoulder,
and this time they are sure of
winning because they control the
entire military apparatus, that
is, provided the Socialists do not
get aid from abroad. This is a
possibility that must be reckon
ed with for all indications seem
to show that the Socialists once
more will apply to the Russian
Soviet government for aid. In
fact, it had been expected that
the Socialists would have taken
advantage of the opportunity to
usurp power at the time Of the
Russian attack upon the Finnish
army in East Karelia shortly be-
fore the armistice, but at that
time the fear turned out to be
unfounded.
To Secure Independence.
When you discuss matters with
Firms, they say that one thing
is to attain national indepen-
dence, but that it is quite an
other to keep it. Nominally
speaking. Finland had even pri-
or to the war, enjoyed a sort of
independence; she had her own
parliament which, however. SUBJ
mitted to the dictates of the Pc
trograd government. Complete
independence has now been at
tanned, but it must be secured,
and in many respects it is felt
necessary to establish entirely
new foundations.
The fight about the form of
government has been an impor-
tant incident in the struggle for
independence: There has been a
lot of very serious friction be-
tween those who wanted a king
and those who demanded that
Finland be made a republic. The
latter won the fight because the
overwhelming majority of Firms
preferred the republican to the
monarchial form of government.
Relations With Russia.
Now as before the greatest
problem of the day is that of
Finnish relations with Russia.
Popular sentiment is rather bel
ligerent. for the inherited fight
against the, Russian colossus is
considered something in the ma
ture of a crusade. and every time
there has been fighting going on
between Russians and Firms. the
young Finnish soldiers of the war
of liberation have rushed to the
camps ready to fight with the
most intensive esthusiasm.
And even when the Esthonians
fought Russia, young Firms took
part in the war. not only because
they wanted to fight Bolshevism,
but also because they took the
question of Finland's border
lines into consideration They
want territorial expansion.
The saner elements in Finland
discourage imperialistic tenden-
cies. and while they expect no
direct intervention on the part
Of America, they hope that the
Washington government viii ex-
press a lack of confidence in
movements that aim at expan-
sion. in other words, that Amer
lea will exert moral pressure in
order to emphasize the demand
for the self determination of peo-
Piles.

WHITE HOUSE TO Be
OPENED TO PUBLIC
New President Will Undoubtedly
Welcome Public to American
Shrine as in Former Years.

Observation-Disclosures it be Senator
Harding or Governor Cox that sue
ceeds President Wilson as chief execu-
tive of the nation, the fourth day of
next March is certain to make very
noticeable change at the White House,
which, though one of the "show
places" of the nation, has been closed
to the public for almost four years.
Even before this nation entered the
European war the bitter passions of
that period caused extra safeguards
to be placed about high officials and
public buildings, and the declaration
of war was signal for all the large
buildings in Washington, including tbs
galleries at the senate and house, to be
closed except to those who had ere.
dentials from some responsible person.
The iron gates at the White House
at that time were shut ineXorably
against all those who did not have
some official business there, and they
have never been opened, though the re-
structions as to other places gradually
have been removed. Those who go TO
the White House now on ordinary er.
rands. such as the presentation of me.
MORALS or petitions, or to ask eNecu'
tive aid or clemency in some matter,
must enter at the small gate at the
west end of the grounds just a few
steps from the executive offices and
are not admitted to the grounds proper.
Only cabinet officers, diplomats or
persons of especial Importance are al
lowed to go in at the main entrance,
and even the White House correspond
ents may not walk about the lawns
north of the big house, where in other
years the public used to- be admitted
without question.
The reason for these restrictions is
that about the time the heat of war
had begun to cool and the other build
ings were being opened to the public
President Wilson was taken i'll, and 1t
was thought advisable to keep the pub
lie as far away as possible.

U. S. Aid For Fisheries.

Following the assurance of Federal
assistance, the State Conservation
Commission is preparing to increase
the propagation of commercial fish in
Maryland waters this year in greater
proportions than ever before.
The Commissioners, headed by
Chairman Harrison w. Vickers, ap-
peared before the Bureau of Fisheries
in Washington in the interest of the
State fisheries and hatcheries. There
was no positive promise that the Gov
ernment hatcheries at Havre de Grace
could be used by the State, but the
Commissioners were assured of aid
from the experts. It is planned to
deposit more shad, rock and other
food fish in the waters this year than
in previous years.

CARRIERS SEEK 2OP. C.
INCREASE IN FARES
Additional Eight Per Cent Freight
Rate Also Sought to Meet
Wage Awards.

Washington.-A 20 per cent increase
in all passenger fares on the railroads
Of the United States and an increase
in freight rates of approximately per
cent in addition to the % per cent
already asked was recommended to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
by the Association of Railway Execu-
tives.
In detail the additional increases
proposed by the railroad men provide
for:
An increase Of six-tenths of a cent
q mile in passenger fares, making
the fare 36 cents a mile; 20 per
cent increase in excursion, conven-
ton and ether fares for special occa-
sions; an increase of 20 per cent on
all Communication tickets; q 20 per
cent increase In extra fares on linl-
tied trains and club cars; an increase
of 20 per cent in excess baggage rates,
and an increase of 80 per cent or one
half charge, for Pullman or sleeping
cars.
An increase on all rates on milk by
approximately Sc per cent. 2An addi-
tional increase on freight and switch
ing revenues above the gross 3S per
cent already provided to make up the
full difference in providing an aggre-
gate increase of $626,O0O,OO0 year.
1t will be recalled that the l. c. G.
has heard and taken under advisement
proposals of the railroad executives for
an average increase in freight rates of
IS per cent regarded as necessary to
bring the return provided in the trans
portation act before the wage award
was handed down.
Railway officials estimate that the
total increases now proposed from all
sources in each Of the three railroad
territories would meet the increases in
wages in these territories.
