Two Finn battaIions
Routed in Skirmish,
Russians Claim
Reds Report Capturing
Fortified Positions
At SuomussuImi
BY tff Associated Press


MOSCOW, Dec. 26.-For the first
time in several days Russian land
forces in Finland were credited with
victories in Red army communicate
issued early today. 1t said two bat
talions Of Firms had been sur
rounded and routed" at Jolomantsi
and the enemy also had suffered a
serious defeat" at Suomussalmi.
Suomussalmi is in Middle Finland
about is miles from the Russian
frontier
The Russians also asserted six
Finnish planes were brought down.
The communique said:
ON December Is skirmishes of re-
connoitering units took place on the
front. In a number of areas they
developed into serious encounters.
In the area Of the town Of Suo-
mussalmi Soviet reconnoitering units
inflicted a serious defeat on the en-
envy and occupied the enemy's forti-
fed positions.
"At Jolomantsi Soviet reconnoi-
terirg units surrounded and routed
two battalions Of Firms, who left
many killed on the battlefield. Thir-
ty-five prisoners were taken.
Soviet aviation made reconnoiter-
ing fights. In air combats six en-
envy airplanes were brought down.
One Soviet airplane failed to return
to its airdrome"

U. 5. Lines Seek Sale Of
Ships 10 Norwegian Corp.

The United States Lines asked
the Maritime Commission today to
approve the sale Of eight of its YES
sells to the North Atlantic Transport
Co.. a Norwegian corporation. Reg
istry Of the vessels would be trans
ferred to Norway.
! The United States Lines previous
ly had asked the commission to
authorize transfer Of the vessels to
Panamanian registry, but the ap-
plication was withdrawn after it had
aroused much criticism. Secretary
of State Hull was among those OPP
posing that transfer.
The vessels which would be sold
to the Norwegian company are the
President Harding, American Ira
der, American Merchant. American
Farmer, American Banker, Ameri-
can Traveller, American Shipper
and American Importer.
The Government has no mortgages,
claims or other obligations against
any of the vessels, the commission
said.
In its application, United States
Lines said that because of neutrality
regulations it was impossible to en-
ploy the vessels on their regular
run under the American flag. It
added that there does not appear to
be any other route, trade or service
in which the vessels could be possibly
operated.
If the commission approves the
sale and transfer to Norwegian
registry, the ships would be operated
between New York and London and
New York and Liverpool with calls
at Boston on inbound trips.

BY JOHN JAY DAILY.

Twas the night after Christmas. the children a-bed-
The living room looked like q junk dealers shed;
The train was agog-gog, half of Of the track;
A doll baby, armless, lay fiat on its back;
An elephant sat with hole in his side
And the drum had slit in its head long and wide;
The cavalry troop, horses, riders and all,
Were pitched on their faces-a terrible fall;
The dump truck dumped with its load on the floor
And the headlights burned out, to be lit never more
The whiskers were pulled from the cat, and the dog
Was despatched with candy-and was the frog
The airplane had crashed with its to the wall
And the bugle, quite denied, was past all recall;
The bus and the tractor, the donkeys hee-haw,
Had all been demolished by hammer and saw
The Christmas tree stood in the corner like stone
And looked on the wreckage forlorn and alone:
Poor mother with poutices placed on her head
Fell asleep on chair before going to bed
And father, for playing from morning to night,
Was paying the penalty, serving him right
The house in havoc, the servants were gone
With no one to clear up the debris till morn;
And this is the picture as 1 understand
OF the night after Christmas, all over the land

The body of an unidentified white
man was found lying on the ground
outside the garage of j. M. Cliff at
King George this morning when the

ness after being closed since Satur-

ing lot.

coat. The man appeared to be
about IS years old, had thick red
hair, was S feet 10 inches in height
and weighed about 165 pounds. The
body was heavily tattooed and the
name Agnes" was printed on the
left arm.
The cause of death was not imme-

cept for bruises on the knee and
about the pelvis, Mr.. Gray said.
Mr.. Gray said he had seen the
man previously and thought he was
a resident Of Westmoreland County.
Commonwealth Attorney Joseph
A. Billingsley said it appeared that
the man had met death elsewhere

the garage during the night, being
dragged from the road to the park
ing lot.

for 20 years, in which he said he
would be glad to sacrifice an eye
if 1t would help him to remain in
this country, which I love more
than anything else in the world"

Norris Will Retire
When Term Expires
In 1913
NY Work Is Done,'
Says Veteran Of 81
Years in Congress

Senator George w. Norris, indie
pendent, of Nebraska, said today
that he would never seek public
ONCE again when his present term
expires in 1913.
The white-haired Senator, after
81 years in Congress, said in an in
terview:
MY work is done. My friends
understand, and they won't ask me
to run again"
Senator Norris has said in pre-
vious years that he would not run
for reelection, but he has been re-
elected anyway. Asked whether he
would yield to such urging again,
he replied with an emphatic mo"
He has had one Of the most color
full careers In Congress. and has
been the target Of vituperation as
well as high honors and wide
commentator.
Back in 1917, he was one of lit
tie band of Senators who filibus-
tered to death President Wilson's
armed neutrality" bill. He voted
against Americas entry into the
World War and he was denounced,
even in Nebraska, as a traitor.
Senator Norris, now 78, never has
had much use for party labels. He
was a leader in the House fight
which stripped away the broad par
liamentary powers OF Speaker
Uncle Joe" Cannon. He has been
in the forefront of congressional
forces demanding new social legis-
lation, and he sponsored the con-
stitutional amendment eliminating
lame duck" congressional sessions.
He has been one of the leading
advocates of a third term for Presi-
dent Roosevelt-and he has re-
ceived many letters from Democrats
telling him that, as an independent,
he has no business meddling in
party affairs.
Senator Norris has been known as
the father Of the Tennessee Valley
Authority. He supported Mr.. Roose-
velts controversial bill to reorganize
the Supreme Court and fought for
many other New Deal measures.
Senator Norris spent quiet
Christmas at his apartment here

grandchildren For the last week.
