Finnish President was met by patri-

was later serenaded by a massed

A Bulwark never failing;
Our Helper He amid the flood

sincere plea for justice.

played in the "old boys" tenni!
tournament with King Gustaf, who
still is classed among the foremost
tennis players of Europe.
The union of Finland with Sweden
lasted something like 645 years. In
the struggle between Sweden and
Russia, Finland for several centuries
was the bloody ground of Northern
Europe. Finally Russia took Fin
land, not as conquered province,
however, for Alexander I granted
her free constitution and funda-

game laws, and it is understood
they have loosened up a bit on duck
shooting and more canvasbacks are
to be allowed. Last year what they
termed "bootlegging' in ducks gave
the Federal game protectors good
deal of trouble. But they bagged a
good many of the poachers, and
doubtless have well in hand the
more important concentration areas
such as the Susquehanna River
flats, in Maryland, where the de-
