Militant Fascists Are
Marching on Helsing=
fors and They Claim It
Will Fall in "a Hours

Helsingfors. Finland, Feb %
(UP)-Militant fascists of the
Lappo organization and other ex-
IRENE elements prepared to march
on Helsingfors to-day.
The Finnish army was ready to
combat the uprising by force. All
troops were confined to barracks.
"This is war;" the chief of staff
Of the Lappo party forces told COR
respondents at Maentsala, where
the lappoites claimed to have A.
600 armed men with from 10000
to 10000 more converging on the
district.
within "a hours Helsingfors
will be in our hands"
1t was rumored that the insur-
gents aimed to set up a Lappo die
tatorship although their immediate
aims appeared to be suppression of
all social democratic organizations
in Finland. The Lappo party,
Internationally, recently made a
| vigorous campaign against COM
munists.

to the government. 1t was un-
missal of Provincial Governor J.
A. Lander and suppression Of all
workers union meetings.
The government dispatched pa
trolls everywhere to recall soldiers
on leave. Plans to suppress the
lappo movement were made at
midnight meeting of the cabinet
with military leaders.
Gen Arrne Sihvo, commander of
the Finnish army, and Gen Lauri
Malmberg commander Of the civil
corps, took charge of the military
preparations.
The district where the lappoites
were concentrated is some 100
miles north of Helsingfors. The
extremists were said to have gained
military control over large area
after disturbances which began
Saturday when lappo sympathizers
opened fire on socialist meeting
attended by men, women and chill
dren.
The attack occurred at the
Workingham's club at Maentsala.
The hail of bullets broke windows
and swept through the room.
Screaming women and children
were ordered to lie on the floor.
Military authorities here did not
believe that the lappoites had more
than 5000 men. The government
said most of the civil corps was
loyal but admitted that many of
the corps members were sympathe-
tic with the lappo movement.
1t was known that the lappoites
had won the sympathy of several
army officers due to their ultra
nafionalistic policies.
The insurgents outlined their
aims as total suppression of Marx
ism. alteration of the fundamental
laws of the state, an abolition of
parliamentarism.

FIVE FARMS COURSE, Baltimore
Country Club, September 15.-A record
smashing 68, two under par, for the
difficult Five Farms course by Ross
Somerville, former Canadian champion,
today featured the first round of the
quarter-flnals in the United States
amateur golf championship.
Somerville's finish over the last nine
IN 33 strokes enabled him to fight of
the spirited challenge Of Bill Blaney OF
Boston, just 27 years old today, and
gain Cup lead at the halfway mark
of their 3c-hole battle.
The Canadians total clipped a stroke
off the former competitive record Of SO,
which was touched by Johnny Fischer
of Cincinnati, the medalist, in the
qualifying round.
Fischer, still very much in the title
fight among the eight survivors. held
the veteran defending champion, Fran
els Ouimet of Boston, all square through
their first round.
Guilford Heads Evans.
The other two matches also developed
close and interesting contests as Big
Jesse Guilford of Boston, the 1921
champion, finished the first round 1 up
on Chick Evans of Chicago, two-time
former champion. and Johnny Good
man of Omaha came back with rush

Ouimet had an uphill fight on his
hands from the start and was lucky to
hold his young rival in check. The
champion was down at the ninth.
down at the tenth before he began his
comeback.
After taking the eleventh as Fischer
trimmed the cup, Ouimet was helped in
winning the twelfth by penalty shot,
called on Johnny for soling his club in
the ditch paralleling the fairway
The stroke penalty was called after
Fischer, from the edge of the water,
had made a beautiful recovery to the
green. Instead of lying 2. with chance
to halve the hole, he was 3 on and con-
ceded the hole after taking two puts
without getting down.
Holed 2O-Foot Putt.
Gui1ford holed a 2o-foot putt on the
eighteenth hole for a birdie to gain his
narrow lead over Evans as the two for
mer champions waged ding-dong bat
tie, featured by Chicks generally steady
play and Guilford'S terrific hitting. The
Siege Gun" had an eagle on the 500
yard sixth, where he holed out a niblick
shot from 10 yards off the green. He
was only SO yards short of the 6O0-yard

Chick was in trouble.
Goodman twice squared his match
with Mccarthy, first at the twelfth and

BONUS CHALLENGE
FACES ROOSEVELT
Hoover's Attack on Proposal
Puts Issue Strongly Up
to Governor.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President HooverS attack on the pro-
posal to pay Immediately the soldiers
bonus held the center of the political
stage today, along with the interest in
what the American Legion would do
about the bonus at its national conven-
tion in Portland.
The President in his statement, Is
sued last night to the press, said the
immediate payment Of the bonus to the
veterans of the World War would be
"a deadly blow at the welfare of the
Nation"
He said he had consistently opposed
it and would continue to do so.
The reiteration of his opposition to
bonus payment under existing condi-
tions by the President was held bold
move. His statement was regarded as
one of the clearest exposittons Of the
bonus problem yet made.
Challenge to Roosevelt. .
More particularly the Presidents
statement was regarded as challenge
to the Democratic nominee, Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt Of New York, who so
far has declined to answer questions as
to his stand on the immediate payment
of the bonus.
The Presidents bonus statement came
on the eve of action on the bonus by
the American Legion convention.
year ago the President attended the
Legion convention in Detroit and made
a direct appeal to the members OF the
organization not to support a resolution
calling for immediate payment OF the
bonus His appeal was successful at
that time There is an element in the
Legion today strongly opposing the cash
payment Of the bonus. But all indlca-
tions have been that the group favor
ing the payment would win by con-
siderable margin.
Furthermore. the President made his
position on the bonus known again
within day or two after the publica-
ton by Alfred E. Smith in the Satur-
day Evening Post of an article dealing
with the payment to World War veter-
ans, in which he clearly indicated his
own opposition to the present payment
of the rest of the bonus and in which
he declared that the American people
were entitled to know the position OF
the presidential candidates on this i'm
portant question.
Smith Also Puts Question.
Mr.. Smith, like President Hoover, has
put the question strongly up to Gov.
Roosevelt. The Governor stands at
present to win the support of the Legion
naires, who are against President Hoover
because of his attitude toward the bonus
payment. But if the Governor comes
out against such payment, then he will
be on all-fours with Mr.. Hoover on
this issue, and the question is largely
taken out of the national campaign.
Gov. Roosevelt quite naturally may not
desire to lose this advantage. On the
other hand, if Gov. Roosevelt takes the
view that the bonus should be paid
without further delay. then he will have
strong opposition from opponents of
bonus payment. The New York Times

Who FIRED B|LLETS
REMAINS MYSTERY
Assistant Secretary Payne
Asks What Difference
1t Makes, Anyhow.

Acting Secretary of War Payne. who
is investigating matters connected with
the evacuation of the bonus camps, de-
clared today that it did not make any
difference who burned down the huts
since they were going to be burned any
way
Col Payne was seen at the White
House, where he conferred with one of
the Presidents secretaries on routine
departmental matters. Upon leaving
the White House he said in reply to
questions:
All this talk about the soldiers burn
ing the huts is just SO much talk to
confuse the issue. The main thing is
that the area was cleared in few
hours without any casualties. Some
officer on the ground might have
given the order to fire the huts. At any
rate they were going to be burned. so
what difference did it make? Whether
they were fired by bonus men or troops
was Of no consequence"
Mr.. Payne'S remarks came after
bonus army billets In the Pennsylvania
avenue camps-a subject Of much con-
troversy since the eviction-waS only
partially cleared today by Maj. Gen.
George Van Horn Moseley, acting chief
of staff of the Army, who was repre-
sented as saying that his investigation
had convinced him some OF the Shacks
had been fired by soldiers in reserve,
who were "mopping up the area after
its evacuation. Gen. Moseley further
was represented as saying that in his
opinion gas grenades, used by troops,
may have contributed to the burning OF
biliets.
Gen. Moseley however, refused to
deny or affirm published reports that
orders had been given troops to burn
billets of the bonus marchers. Officers
in command of the reserve forces had
authority, however, to exercise their
own discretion in doing whatever they
considered necessary under the clrcum-
stances.
Affidavits Are Cited.
A verbal statement authorized by
Gen. Moseley was made for the press
today after the acting chief of staff Is
understood to have seen affidavitS from
Lieut.. George M. Herman and Pvt.
Thomas E Davis. Company M, 18th
Infantry. stationed at Fort Washing
ton, stating that orders had been given
for setting fire to the billets.
Unoficially. it was learned at the
War Department that no actual orders
were issued by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, chief of staff, but officers under
his command had been told if any bill
lets were burned they would not be
made to render an accounting

indirectly to the press through Lieut..
Col. P. v. Kieffer, in charge of the
War Department press relations, after
