Foreign Diplomats, With l3 Americans Have Fled
 Capital of Finland RAGING SNOW STORM
 HAS GROUNDED PLANES Films Are Holding Their Own on All Fronts; 0O,-
 900 Films in Capital
BY NORMAN B. DEuEL

United Press Staff Correspondcnt)
 Helsinki { Helsingfors), Dec. 4. = (UP) - The German steamer Donau sailed today, with German colonists and other foreigners, while re- ports spread that Russian flyers planned to lombard the city with poison gas.
 Most of the civil popula- tion had fled but the cabinet remained and Premier Risti Ryti de- clared that he would mot leave the capital until it became most neces- sary."
 The departure of the Donau was considered an i'll omen. Forty mem 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 during the week end.
 American Diplomats Leave
 Most foreign diplomats, includ- ing 13 Americans, had fled.
 It was not learned how many Ger- mans had gone on the Donau.
 At Stockholm, the newspaper Da- gems Nyheter said two-thirds of the 900 Germans refused to leave Hel- siflki and that the ship had been held all night while German at- taches tried in vain to persuade them to change their minds.
 (At Berlin, 1t was said that the TOO Helsinki Germans were leaving on the ship along with l50 Italians, 100 Esthonians and the 40 members of the Russian legation. The Finnish diplomats in Moscow still have not been given permission to leave Rus sia.)
 A raging snow storm had kept airplanes grounded since Saturday but 1t was feared that mass attack on Helsinki would come at the first break in the weather.
 Both Sides Charge Gas
 The Russians had charged the Films with using chloro-picrin (vomiting gas)--a charge denied by the Finnish military command--and 1t was reported throughout Scan- dinavia that Russia had threatened to send a fleet of 800 bombing planes against Helsinki unless the Films surrendered at once.
 Foreign diplomats attached ser- ious significance to these two fac- tors, and because of serious short age of gas masks here, they left hurriedly.
 (The evacuation was first reported in Stockholm by the Helsinki cor- respondent of the newspaper Dagens Nyheter)
 Buses went out to Grankulla, q town 10 miles outside Helsinki, ana picked Up the i3 American diplo- mats who had moved there last week when Helsinki first was

Decision On Judge Manton Upheld By Court Of Appeals

New York, Dec. 4-(UP)-The conviction of Martin T. Manton on charges of selling judicial decisions while he was senior judge of the United States circuit court of ap- peals was upheld today by a special circuit court of appeals convened to consider the case.
 The decision was delivered by former United States Supreme Court Justice George Sutherland who sat with Supreme Court Justice Harlan P. Stone and Circuit Court Judge Robert Clark of Newark. Sutherland concluded his review of the evidence by saying:
 We deem it unnecessary to com ment further upon the evidence. IL Is enough to say that, if believed by the jury, as we may properly as- sume 1t was. 1t dlscloses state Of affairs 50 plainly at variance with the claim of Manton1 innocence Cd to make the verdict of the jury ] uIiaaaatiabie,"

Copenhagen, Denmark, Dec. A. (UP) -Scandinavia's worries were increased today by German news- paper attacks on Sweden's Foreign Minister R. J. Sander.
 It was believed here that Ger many was trying to frighten Swe- den into cutting off supplies to Fin- land.
 Money, volunteers and supplies were reported pouring into Finland from Sweden as well as from Nor- way and Denmark and if this kept Up, observers believed that Finland might be able to hold out for months against Russia provided the public's nerves withstood the shock of the first assaults, and that the war might even come to deadlock similar to that which existed for many months in the Spanish civil war.

ditions. Hernias from strains are
likewise considered compensate
if the workman can show it came
from a sudden strain, which
caused him immediate pain and
other objective symptoms.
Occupational diseases are con-
trasted from accidents in as much
as they are sicknesses which come
on a person gradually and not
suddenly. For instance a work
man who gets dust in his lungs
from his employment over a per-
iod of years which causes tuber-
culosis. This is an occupational
disease. Occupational diseases do
not come under the compensa-
ton law except those occupation
al diseases which arise out of and
during the course of the employ
ment and r peculiar to the
smelling, metal refining or bat
terry manufacturing industries
and which are contracted by
workmen employed in said indus
tries. Occupational diseases from
these industries are the only ones
which, thus far has been brought

WORKMENiS COMPENSATION
LAW
By Judge Lawrence WEIGH

In order for a workman to re-
ceive workmen's compensation
under the Workmen's Compensa-
ton Law, he must have sustained
an accident" which arose out of
and in the course of his employ
ment. The term accident" as
used in the law shall, unless a
different meaing is clearly indi-
Gated by the context, be con-
structed to mean an unexpected
or an unforeseen event happening
suddenly and violently, with or
without human fault, and produc-
ing at the time objective symp-
toms of any injury. From this de-
finition it can readily be cen that
if a workman falls from a ladder
and breaks his leg or arm, he can
qualify for workmen's compen-
sation from his employer because
this was an event which was un-
expected and unforeseen, it hap
pened instantaineously and was
of such force as to cause a frac-
tured Doe, and it caused an injury
which could be seen by any exam
lining physician. Objective symp-
toms as used in the above defini-
ton means injuries which can be
seen, felt or heard by a doctor
and not injuries which the injur-
ed person must tell about, such
as a headache. In the %interpeta-
ton of the compensation laws,
the Courts in many jurisdictions
have held that strains which
cause some physical defect to the
body a be classed as accidents
For instance a workman WHIT
strains his back from lifting
heavy objects may recover com
pensation for any disability h
may receive, under certain con
