Two peace moves are afoot to end hostilities in the snowy battle fields where Finnish and Russian fighting has drawn the worlds att tention from the stalemated war on the Western Front.
 The League of Nations machinery was set into motion at the arbitra- tion demand of Finland and the Swedish legation in Moscow was asked by Finland to consult the Kremlin on possibility of peace without violating Finnish independ- ence or vital interests"
 Five Islands Captured
 Russia is reported to have cap- tured five islands in the Gulf of Finland and continued land advanc- es on the Kerelian Isthmus, north of Leningrad.
 According to frontier dispatches. 5000 Soviet soldiers were said to have landed at Petsamo Fjord, Fin- lands Arctic outlet.
 Helsinki felt safe momentarily from air raids because of a heavy snowstorm, and announced almost all civilians have left the city for safer inland locations.
 Heavy Russian Casualties

Wu pei-Fu Dies After
 Operation
Chinese Poet and Soldier, PdradoxiCaI CharaCter,
 Passes Away

PEIPING, Dec. 4.-Marshal Wu Pei-Fu, 61, poet and soldier of Re- publican China, died today after an operation for an infected tooth. Wu has lived in obscurity since his armies were routed by Chiang Kai Shek.
 Wu Pei-Fu, whose name was something to conjure with in China, was one of the most para doxical of all the characters de- veloped in the cockpit of Chinese politics.
 Gaining the title of Marshal in the military field, he was better poet than soldier, and a more suc- cessful diplomat than a fighter His prestige survived defeat and he once controlled five huge prov inces without enriching himself beyond the stage where he could live in modest comfort.
 Resisted Japan
 Five years after Chiang Kali Shek had annihilated Wu's army, the latter emerged from a Buddhist monastery to help his old-time ne- mesis unify China against Japan when the latter occupied Manchuria and attacked Shanghai. He reap peared at Peiping in January, 1892, as "honored guest" of Chang Hsiao- Liang, busted governor of Man churia, and became one of the rallying centers for resisting the Japanese aggression.
 Wu was born at Peng-lai, prov ince of Shantung, in 1878. In his youth he gave great promise as a scholar and became licentiate with the degree of Hsiu-Tsai, won by competitive examination. But rela- tiyes persuaded him to adopt a military career and in 1898 he graduated from the Peiyang Mill tary Academy at Tientsin.
 In Imperial Army
 He went into the Chinese Im- perial Army and served for several years as aide to. the commander of the empires forces in northern Kiangsu.
 Establishment of the Chinese Republic under Yuan Shih-kai in 1912 brought him post as a regi- mental commander and although his gifts as a painter and poet all ready had earned him the nick name among his colleagues of the poet-soldier," he also had gained a name as a strategist and tacti- clan.
 The Yunnan revolt of 1914-1915 against President Yuan's attempt to make himself monarch of China, brought Wu his first batch of wide spread fame. Yuan ordered the youthful colonel to crush the re- bellion and the latter accomplished the task with such thoroughness that he was made major general.
 In 1916 he won another promo

Gay Rebel of Brit. Royalty
 Passes Away
Princess Louise, Great Aunt of King, Dies After
 Long Illness, London

LONDON, Dec. 4.-Princess Lou ise, Duchess of Argyll, sixth daugh- ter of Queen Victoria and great aunt of King George VI, died yes- terday at the Kensington Palace apartment after a long illness.
 Surviving children of Queen Vic toria are the Duke of Connaught and Princess Beatrice. Princess Lou ise was a gay rebel against the con- ventionalities which ruled the royal society of her youth.
 She shocked her mothers staid court by insisting upon studying art and won popular following by turning down proposals from whole group of German princes and be- coming the first English princess in $50 years to marry outside royal circles.
 Her wedding in 1871 to John Campbell, Marquis of Lorne, heir to the eighth Duke of Argyll, came when the nation had become open ly exasperated at Queen Victoria $ pro- -Germanism and at the number of German princelings who had married into the British royal fam fly. It persisted for years and in- spired such music hall ditties as 50 in our royal family now. There's neither a son nor daughter, But what we've got from the Ger
 man stock,
 Imported over the water"
 As Marchioness of Lorne, the princess accompanied her husband to Canada in 1878 for his term as Governor General of the Dominion. He became ninth Duke of Argyll in 1900 and died in 1914. The marriage was childless.
 All her life Princess Louise was devoted to art. q do not want to dance" she told her father, Albert, the prince consort. T want to draw and study art"
 Creator of Vict0ria's Statue
 Although such pursuits were then considered unconventional for a princess, she was allowed to study sculpture under Sir Edgar Boehm and for many years worked in a studio attached to the apartments

LESS "DIGNITYn


 The whole personality of the court has changed as markedly as the tone of it's opinions on sociologi- cal and governmental issues.
 The four pre-New Deal members. Hughes, McReynolds, Roberts and Stone, are elderly and dignified, some of them stern. The four Roose- welt appointees, Frankfurter, Reed, Black and Douglas, are far less so, although in court Reed frowns, all most glowers, from the bench. Once behind the velvet curtains that shield them from the court specta- tors, the four newly appointed mem bers are ebullient, so report comes out.
 Except for the gracious though commanding presence of Chief Jus tice Hughes there are no "outstand- ing perSonalities" on the court to rival the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and the retired Justice Brandeis. So far no close friend ships have developed even among the New Dealers like those which characterized that of Holmes with his one time colleagues, Brandeis and the late Chief Justice White. cnHTg nTc TcappnrNrpRrCNT

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

An island in the English Channel
Is noted for several things. 1t is
called Jersey. and it gave us the
name of the woolen jacket known as
a Jersey"
Jersey has an area of As square
miles, and a population of about So
600. 1t belongs to Great Britain,
but 1t is closer to the coast of France
than to England.
Jersey potatoes are famous, and
80 are Jersey cabbages, but most IA
nous of all are the Jersey cows They
rank among the best of the worlds
milk cows.
More than a century ago, people
of other lands sent traders to Jersey
to buy some Of the cattle which had
been brSd on the island. Today there
are Jersey COWS in many countries.
Their milk is extremely rich in but
ter fat; in other words, it has
great deal of cream, and the cream
can be turned into butter.
Another fine breed is the Guern-
sey, named after different island
in the British Channel. 1t is a rela-
tive of the Jersey, but is a little
larger. Like the Jersey, the Guern-
sey supplies rich, yellow, creamy
milk.
