FINLAND: WHERE WOMEN
WON VOTE BY HELPING
SETTLE A STRIKE

Victory for woman suffrage in the
United States adds interest to the eX-
periences of Finland, where women
won the franchise by their part in qui-
citing labor troubles similar to those
which now aSsail the United STAKES.
Incidentally Finland was one Of the
first portions of the old Russian en-
pire to set up constitutional govern
ment.
The advent and progress of suffrage
In Finland is described in a cOm,nuni-
cation 10 the National Geographic So
ciety by Baroness Aletta Korff as fol-
lows:
"From an educational point Of view
the women of Finland have been very
fortunate, as there are many excellent
schools for girls, and number of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the University examinations. Girls
were admitted to the university In
1878. and. until the war interviewed,

But in connection with world COM
merce it has always been closely re-
lated to the fertile valleys of the Nile
and the twin Mesopotamia rivers, and
its commercial life of tomorrow can
not be divorced from that OF Mesopo-

1.-THE future of Syria depends upon
the development Of two ports and upon
who controls these strategic centers of
politics and commerce. Aleyandretta
and Haifa attain new Importance as
the Dardanelles are internationalized
and free passage, open to all nations,
cuts across what Germany was forg-
ing as Il Berlin-t0-Bagdad route, all
but 500 hes of which, between MIS-
lin and 'Tekrit, Il few miles above Sa-
MARIA, is now complete.
"This new line of traffic from Alex
andretta past Aleppo to the Euphrates
river at Jerablus, connecting the old
est routes of international commerce,
also separates two important linguai
groups, for Turkish is generally spok-
en- to the north Of the railway ana
Arabic to the south.

More and more frequently the spot

declared their country independent,
and chose Prince Feisal as king. Feis-

now Feisal seeks restoration.

CANADA MAY ADOPT AN
ESKIMO LNDJ5TRY

Conversion of the arctic and SUBJ
arctic regions of Canada into rein
deer meat producing area is being con-
sidercd by the Canadian government
and is being widely discussed through
out the dominion.
A communication to the National
Geographic society recalls that rein
deer were not indigenous to Alaska,
and tells the interesting story Of their
Introduction there.
"The story of the inception and
growth of the reindeer enterprise In
Alaska is very interesting and ia not
generally known" says the writer.
y"During an extended trip Of inspec-
ton of the missionary stations and
government schools in 1880, DR.. Shell
don Jackson, then general agent Of ed
ucation in Alaska, was impressed with
the fact that the natives in arctic and
subarctic Alaska were rapidly losing
their sources Of food supply.
Doctor Jackson saw that unless
something was done at once the Unit
ed States would have to choose be-
tween feeding the 10000 and more ma
tives or letting them starve to death.
."The same moss which covered SO
many thousands Of miles OF the plains
of arctic Siberia was seen everywhere
in Alaska The tame reindeer was
practically the same animal rs the
wild caribou OF Alaska, chau@ed by be-
ing domesticated for centuries,
"On his return TO the United States
in 1891, Doctor Jackson asked congress
for an appropriation to provide the
money for importing a few deer.
Congress- was not convinced of the
+ wisdom Of such action. but several pri-
waite persons were so interested that
they placed $1,000 at Doctor Jackson's
disposal to begin the experiment. The
FIRST deer were brought over that year.
1t was not long before the government
realized the Importance Of the move
ment, and in 1894 appropriated the
sum Of $4,000 to continue the work.
Later TIE appropriation was increased
! and by 1900 amounted 10 So, coo en-

RUMANIA: PAWN OF MANY


Rumania, which has attracted atten-
ton recently because Of the visit OK |
Prince Carol 70 his country, has been
a center of Euro can war storms for
a thousand years.
Peter the Great once established
protectorate over the Rumanians and
Catherine the Great later advanced
plan for the annexation of their ter
ritory to Russia. Fearing that such
territorial expansion might be a men
ace to her, Austria persuaded Gather
inc to abandon that plan.
Rumania. as we now know II, was
formed from Moldavia and Wallachia
in 1861. Previously these principali-
ties had been under Turkish suzer-
ainty. following Austria's protest
agaist Russia anneSlng them. Au-
tonomy heing guaranteed by the pow
.ers which agreed TO the union of the
principalities, following the Crimean
war, Rumanians chose an army officer,
Col. Alexander Curza, as their ruler.
His title was Alexander John l, prince
Of Rumania.
When, seven years later, the element
In power at Bucharest decided for
change of rulers there were few for
maltes. Invading the princes he'd

presented q certificate of/abdicatiOn to

carriage and put him aboard an ex-
press for Paris.
The count Of Flanders, brother TO
King Leopold of Belgium, was chosen
by provisional government. The
powers. especially Austria, protested,
and Prince Charles (CaroD, who had
been an officer in the PrusSian army,
was substituted. He set about free
ing the country from the suzerainty
of Turkey.
When the Russo-Turkish storm clouds
arose in 1875. Charles sought to have
the powers guarantee the neutrality
of Rumania. He failed. Then an
agreement was reached with Russia.
