Arbor Day
The time has come again that
we shall observe Arbor Day. An
author has we'll said:
"Poems are made by fools like
US.
Only God can make a tree"
But it is a wonderful thing to
be permitted to help u creator by
planting trees. Trees do not only
help preserve the soil and support
moisture; they are symbols of life
itself. All of us should desire to
be trees for the sheltering of fell
lowmen.
One of the best friends to man
kind, on a hot day in July and
August, when n is walking a
hot dusty road, is the shade of q
large tree. This tree is useful foi

As we scrambled up the bank

But these westerners don't even

Bitter hostilities between Super

the charge that quorum was not

that more police had been posteo

AS in the case of Saturdays, the
manifestation started with frleno-
ly demonstration before the FINNISH
legation.

cred there and shouted:
MAY Finland win! Long live FIN
land!' y
All traffic in the area was dis
rupted.
Zero Jarnefelt, Finnish minister,
appeared three times on balcony
of the legation, responding to wild
cheers by the students.
He thanked the students, IN
brief speech in Finnish, and thus
brought new waves OF cheers 1or
him and his country.
Then the students began their
march on the Russian embassy ana
the police, grenadiers and cara
binieri went into action.
The demonstrations, more impress
sive because some participants wore
the uniforms of rigidly disciplined
fascist units, came as authoritative
sources said that italy intended to
intervene if Russia attempted IN
the Balkans any such campaign as
! that on which it had embarked IN
| the Baltic. 4
What form Italy's intervention
might take-aiding Balkan coun-
tries with military forces as in the
Spanish civil war, actually going
to war, or some other form-was a
matter for speculation. But inform
ants made it seem clear that Pre-
uier Benito Mussolini was deter
mined to keep Russia out of the
Balkans.
The authoritative news bulletin
Informazioni Del Gionro, following
up the intensive newspaper cam
paign against Russia's attack on
Finland, said that there was stlii
danger of Russian action in the
Balkans, where nations which de-
sire to remain neutral were more
reluctant than ever to make any
peace efforts for fear they mlgn1
be misconstrued.

Both sides claimed possession OF
the port of Petsamo on the Arctic
coast. The Firms said Soviet troops
had been thrown back in fierce
fighting, that a small force landed
by parachute had been surrounded
and that many towns were in
flames. The Russians said that Fin
nish peasants and workers were
welcoming the Red army and joy
fully joining up with the rebel gov
ernment set up under Soviet pro-
lection on the frontier.
Frontier dispatches reported that
5000 Soviet troops had landed from
ships and airplaneS near Liinaham-
ari, on the Finnish Arctic coast,
and that a big-scale offensive was
expected at once.
To Firms, the most ominous de-

HEISINKI. Dec. 4. (UP)-The
German steamer Donau sailed to-
oay with German colonists anc
other foreigners, while reports
spread that Russian fliers planned
to lombard the city with poison
gas.
Most of the civil population had
fled but the cabinet remained and
Premier Risti Ryti declared that
he would mot leave the capital until
it became most necessary
The departure of the Donau was
considered an i'll omen. Forty men,
bers of the Russian legation were
aboard. in addition TO several hum
dred Germans, Italians and Es-
thonians. and its presence here had
been the best guarantee that the
Russians would not unleash the
terrible aerial bombardment they
were said TO have threatened in
handbills dropped on the city dur
ing the weekend.
Most foreign diplomats. including
l3 Americans. had fled.
It was not learned how many
Germans had gone on the Donau
cat Stockholm, the newspaper
Dagens Nyheter said two thirds OF
the 600 Germans refused TO leave
Helsinh and that the ship had
been held all night while German
attaches tried in vain to persuade
them TO change their minds.
(At Berlin il was said that the
700 Helsinh Germans were leaving
on the ship along with $50 Italians
