and which decided at Q meeting yes- terday to do all in their power to bring about peace negotiations at the league meeting
 The German statement took great pains to tell the German people that the Scandinavians never had been very friendly toward the Reich, had not aided the Germans after the war, had been cold toward Nazism and had taken an anything but kindly" attitude toward Germany in the present war.
 The purpose of the statement ap- parently was to offset what observ- CTS described as @ wave of sympathy in Germany for the Films. Regard less of their ultimate aims and of the feelings of the people, Germany and Russia have so far carried out officially the outward obligations of their friendship agreement and sup- ported each other in the official propaganda field.
 Same Thing In Italy
 Something of the same situation existed in regard to Italy. The Fa- scist grand council, meeting last midnight, approved declaration that warned Russia against invad- ing the Fascist sphere in the Bal kans, but which also took swing Ing punch at the Allied powers by asserting that Italy would protect her shipping byb all means possible against the Allied double blockade of Germany. In the declaration, Premier Benito Mussolini also re- affirmed the Rome- Berlin axis And. 1talys peutrality-leaving the Fa- cist state just about where 1t has been since hte war started.
 Russian Blockade
 Russia, in move evidently aimed at cutting off foreign war supplies to Finland, has declared a blockade of the Finnish coast effective at noon today, the Danish ministry of commerce announced.
 Foreign shipping will be given 24 hours, until noon tomorrow, to get out of Finnish waters, 1t was an- nounced.
 Noon Russian time would be a. m. today EST; noon Finnish time would be 5 q. m. EST)
 The blockade notification was giv- en by the Russian government tot l.. B. Bolt -Jorgensen, Danish min ister at Moscow, the ministry of commerce said
 After noon Saturday, and the deadline for the departure of for eign ships, Finnish waters will be dangerous for all shipping" under the Russian blockade order
 Soon after this announcement the Finnish radio flashed an assertion that the German steamship Oliver had arrived at Finnish harbor dam- aged by three shells from a Russian submarine The incident took place at 11;45 p. m. Tuesday, 1t was as. serted.
 The Russian move to blockade the Finnish coast came immediately af- ter reports that countries all over Europe, even incsuding Germany were sending large quantities of wal materials to Finland
 Earlier this week. Finland mined the waters around its Aaland Is- lands, between Finland and Sweden at the mouth of the Gulf of Both- mia. Sweden also was understood tc have mined the waters between the Aalands and the Swedish coast Thus the Gulf of Bothnia seemed closed to the Russian battle fleet which meant that only the Finnish pulf coast could be blockaded,

area and still is demanded in large
numbers by hunters.
Faced with a rising volume of
protests from property owners and
sportsmen's groups, a committee
has been working on the problem
in recent weeks, attempting TO as
certain all the available facts
Making up the committee to study
the deer damage and its control are
representatives OF the Michigan de-
partment Of conservation, Michigan
State college. farmers, sportsmen
organization and private hunting
clubs.
The group has travelled extensive
ly through areas where complaints
have come in regarding deer pillag-
ing agricultural crops It has in
tcrvicwed a large number of COM
planants and in scouting parties
has gone into the fields both day
and night and counted the herds
grazing on farm crops, garden plots
and orchards.
Long thought of as living in the
northern sections, deer now are
creating difficulties as far south
as Allegan county. Recent damage
has been most extensive in the
counties along Lake Huron, north
Of the Thumb district. Counts taken
by the committee members them
selves showed herds OF 100, IS, 40,

A factor contributing to the prob
LENS development has been the
work Of reserving sub-marginal and
marginal farm land for game or re-
creation areas. These areas, aban-
doned for their poor soil, are dotted
with lands still paying out in farm
products.
Authorities have considered that

ity to express abstract truth with
simplicity and clearness and thus
relate it to human experience. In

thought, expressing himself with
such clearness that all can follow
his argument.
