Finlayson Woman
Dies In The Home

Mrs. Martha Edborg of Finlayson
passed away Wednesday afternoon
October ID, and was buried Friday
afternoon, October 20, from the Meth
odist church with Rev. Nels Benson
of Hinckley, in charge. Mrs. Ed
borg, who was about 81 years of age
had been in failing health for more
than a year and became seriously
i'll three weeks ago. She was taken
to the county home near Hinckley al
which place she died from a COM
plication of ailments. She had lived
alone in town in her home near the
post office since the death of her
husband, July "a, 1910.
Of recent years, two old friends,
Mrs. Anna Nelson and her daughter,
Mrs. Ben Nelson, of Groningen, and
also Franz Anderson, as well as her
neighbors, had seen to it that she was
as comfortable as possible and they
were faithful as long as she was at
her home. Among those who did
much for her were Mrs. Maupin, Mrs
Holstein, Mrs. Albert Anderson and
Mrs. Nystrom.
Mrs. Edborg was born in Sweden
and came to this country when a
young woman. She married Olaf
Edborg and they came to Finlayson
about SO years ago. They cleared
land and built the house in which the
c. L. Smith family now lives, one
and one-half miles northeast of town
They had two children, daughter
Olga, who died about 10 years ago
and a son, Albert, who has not been
heard from since early summer when
he last visited his mother. There are
several step-granddaughters, one in
South Dakota, one in Wyoming and
one, Mrs. Vera Ostrom, who is the
wife of a Swedish Methodist mis-
sionary in Sumatra.
Burial was made in the cemetery
west of town beside her husband
She was a faithful attendant of the
Methodist church as long as she was
able to walk to services and was
justly proud of her granddaughter
and her husband in Sumatra. She
will be missed by her friends who
tried to make her lonely life little
brighter through the last months OF
pain and discomfort.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDVOLD

Last week it was reported here,
cautiously, that there were rumors
abroad to the effect that confer
ence might be held somewhere in
Italy to determine whether or not
Soviet Russia and Mussolini were
willing to give military aid to Ger
many. That conference has not been
held.
For in the meantime it has devel-
oped that Russia insists on maintain
ing strict neutrality, as far as mill
tary operations are concerned, and
that Italy sees no reason for aban-
doning the neutrality which Musso-
lini proclaimed at the start of the
present war. It would thus seem
that Germany, at least for the time
being, will have to carry on a lone
fight against Great Britain and
France.
New Treaty.
Back of this prospect is an entirely
new situation made possible by the
fact that Russian diplomacy was I'M
able to win Turkey to its side. For
more than three weeks Moscow nego-
tiations between Turkish Foreign
Minister Saracoglu, Stain and Prime
Minister Molotov have been going
on in Moscow, Russia's principal aim
being Turkish pledge to close the
Dardanelles during the time of war.
But at the same time the wires be-
tween Ankara and London were kept
buzzing, and even though the Tur-
kish foreign minister was absent from
his own country-he was on his way
home from Observation-Disclosures
was made that a treaty of mutual as
sistance had been signed between
Turkey and Great Britain and France.
A couple of days later it was
learned that Britain was willing to ex-
tend to Turkey a credit of $24O,00O,-
900, most of which is to be invested
in arms and munitions.
