Finn Soldiers Put Up

Beut Back Attack
After Attack From
Russians
By JAMES ALDRIDGE,

HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. IA
(N.AN.A).-With the main Russian
drive shifting to the east, the
Karelian Isthmus is becoming the
scene of small fights between in
dividual units of the Finnish and
Russian armies. 1t is still a face
to-face fight there. with both lines

At Muola, where there has been
hot fighting for possession of the
central hill Of the town, on which
stands a church, the Firms on the
hillside beat back attack after at

from rock to rock, to the top. The
whining bullets, ripping ice of the
rocks, made hymn of hate which
the church had not heard for 20
years.
The Firms are putting up a
courageous battle to retain posses
sion of the Muola Hill, as it is an
ideal site for artillery emplacements
The Russians are putting on extra
pressure in the region of Tolvajarvi,
north of Lake Ladoga, on which
more mechanized war equipment
has been concentrated than any
where else. Both sides are using
light machine-guns which a man
can carry on his back with ease
even climbing a tree to use this
deadly weapon for sniping.
The Russians are using a light
type of tank, like those developed
by the British, each carrying two
men and presenting little surface
for attack.

It is difficult to drop to the groune

troops are wounded here they art
likely to die in the snow, as there
is no ambulance service.
Both sides are piling up food sup

Two Men Found
Guilty After
Dice Game Row

Rowing over dice game, two COL
ored men went and got their
"shootin' irons," fired at each other
and missed-the records of Dis
trict Court disclosed yesterday,
when a jury found both guilty as
indicted Of charges Of assault with
dangerous weapon.
Assistant United States Attorney
John w. Jackson told the jury and
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue, in
Criminal Court No. 2 that Willie
Brown. colored, got his single-barrel
shotgun, while Thomas R. James,
colored, got his 32-caliber pistol, fol-
lowinc a brief fist fight, on October
81 at Logans court NV, growing
out of bout with the dice. The
prosecutor said James beat Brown
on the head with the latter's own
shotgun SO that the stock was
broken and it was necessary to take
some IS stitches in Browns scalp
for six or eight seperate lacerations.
BY mutual consent of counsel the
two men were tried together, al
though each had been indicted sep
arately. At the trial yesterday each
defendant accused the other Of be-
ing guilty and Assistant United
States Attorney Jackson said he was
willing to believe both were telling
the truth. And 50 was the jury.

made with Germany at this time.
To be sure this was initiated by
government critics, and Foreign Sec
retary Lord Halifax voiced regret
that the question had been raised.
However, it shows that at least
few people in high places are think
ing of wars end.
The most satisfactory way to
reach an answer for the unusual
problem as to future Allied German
relations is to begin by considering
what each of the great powers is
bent on. When once that is de-
termined, subsequent developments
can be fixed on that basis. Here
it is:
Russia-Neutral observers general
ly believe the Soviet Union is aiming
to secure domination Of Northern
and Eastern Europe and the Bal
kans, at least. An integral part Of
the program is revival Of the.cam-
paign to establish Communism
throughout Europe.
Germany-Hitler originally set out
Evening star., 1939-12-14

to secure control of the same ter
ritory for which Russia seems to be
aiming. The Russians have been
trampling on his dreams, including
that of the Drang Mach Osten.
Anglo-French-Bent on maintain
ing the balance of power in Europe
and on preventing not only Ger
many but anybody else from car
rying out schemes of expansion
which would challenge allied con-
troll. Intent on maintaining dom
ination Of the Mediterranean.
Italy-Seeking wider privileges In
the Mediterranean zone, more COL
onies and politico-economic expai1-
sion into those same Balkans which
both Russia and Germany have an
eye on.
That's q sketchy outline of the
powers ambitions, but it's sufilcient
to show that there is q wholesale
clash Of interests among the Anglo
French brotherhood, Germany and
Russia. Each, after its own fashion

In Lost Bout Here

Red Ryan, who embodies all that

Hader, who has been Missed from

feature event of the wrestling card
tonight at Turner's Arena. It's
Reds turn to win, for Hader's I'M

their last tussle.
Benny Bortnick, the referee who
was doing on the canvas last week
when Ryan pinned Hader, but who
returned to count out Ryan after
Jack had tricked him into releasing
his hold, will be supplanted by Casey
Berger, burly Scranton specimen.
There is supposed to be an item Of
$3.50 tossed into the proceedings,
with that and tonight's proceeds be-
ing split on a 1925 basis among the
principals. The $3.50 represents last
weeks purse, which was to have been
winner-take-all affair, but Pro-

Some Of the helpers are profess

avail themselves Of the opportunity
the better they will like 1t.
It is rumored that in place Of their
usual spring licensed show, which
has been moved up to the fall, the
Baltimore County Kennel Club is
planning one Of their finest sanction
matches for an early week end in
May. This would replace their usual
National Dog Week sanction match,
which has become quite an institu-
ton In these parts, rivalling in num-
Der Of entries, value Of trophies and
quality Of exhibits many licensed
shows.
Another sanction match that Is
a-brewing is one devoted entirely to
whippets. This always has been an
active and popular breed in the Bal
timore area. there are several
enthusiastic whippet owners in this
locality. and the largest whippet-
producing establishment in the
country, at least for bench show pur-
poses. Is not many miles from here.
A sanction match probably would
bring out large number Of the
years crop of youngsters.
The annual spring housekeeping
frenzy seems to have transferred
itself from the old-fashioned type of
housekeeper to the new style kennel
owner. This Is the time Of the year
when a person interested in dogs,
whether he has a large kennel or
just one or two house dogs, gets
busy with hammer and nails or paint
and brush. Nearly all the kennels
in the metropolitan area are having
runs refurbished or new runs built,
kennel buildings are poisoning out
with bright coats Of paint, and new
ones are being projected.
One Of the burning questions of
the day seems to be wether to have
the new kennel runs with cement
floors. earth floors, gravel, or the
new tangled wire or Stat floors. The
proponents Of each type have their
weighty arguments. After. listening
to all Of them, 1t would seem that
all types are equally desirable-pro-
vided they are kept clean.
