Allies Are Reported
Favoring Arms, Not
Army, 10 Aid Films
Geography Seen Deciding
Factor in PIuns to
Send Planes, Guns
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. 20.-Great Britain
and France, in the opinion Of mill
tary observers, favor sending planes
and guns-not an expeditionary
force-as the more feasible sort Of
aid to Finland against the Soviet
Union.
This despite the fact that these
are resources the allies need to con-
serve for their war against Ger
many.
Geography appeared to be the de-
Gliding factor. Planes and their car
goes of guns and ammunition could
be flown to Finland. Hazards of
the water route and the neutrality
Of Norway and Sweden would pre-
vent use Of the most direct maritime
and overland routes.
Aid Anxiously Awaited.
Finnish circles in Paris anxiously
awaited French and British assist
ance in conformity with the League
Of Nations invitation for Finnish
aid and custer of Russia as an ag-
gressor.
They said Finland was confident
she could continue her resistance
indefinitely, If she could get quick
supply Of planes and anti-aircraft
and field artillery.
The secretary-general Of the
League, Joseph A. c. Avenol, was
busy today arranging for a COM
mittee to coordinate aid to Finland
from the allies as well as other
League members and non-members.
He will 60 from here to London to
continue the work.
Message in Preparation.
He had in preparation a message
to non-League nations-which in
clude the United States-urging that
they align any assistance with the
Leagues efforts. It was uncertain
whether they would be invited to
supply anything except non-com-
batant relief.
Already NJ. Avenol had asked
League members to advise him
promptly of their intentions so
League experts could regulate offers
Of war materials, credits and first
aid supplies.
Paris press reports that the pos
sibility of effective aid to Finland
was uppermost in the considerations
Of the allied Supreme War Council
at three-hour meeting yesterday
The council encouraged Finnish
quarters to believe the allies would
put sharp teeth into the Leagues
moves against Russia.
NJ Avenol visited the war min
istry while the council was in ses-
sion there, League sources said.
Scandinavia Invasion Feared.
A council communique, however,
did not mention any decision on the
Finnish question, but editorial writ
ers today stressed the view that
for strategic reasons alone Fin
lands cause must be the allied
cause.
If Russia conquered Finland, they
declared, Germany would follow up
with an invasion of Norway and
Sweden, winning both valuable re-
sources and "one of the master posi-
tions Of Europe" from which to
fight the allied blockade.
The French government, looking
toward prosecution of the war in
1910. last night asked the Chamber
Of Deputies Finance Committee to
approve military appropriations for
the first three months of the year
totaling 55,034, ,0oO0 900 francs (about
81 .265 900 ,0O0).
The government estimated 249.-
1000 900 francs (about s5.702 ,l00,-
000) might be needed to finance wal

tempting to come down on the
Firms side of the hill to establish a
machine gun nest among the gran

too heavy for them and they re-
treated, leaving two dead. At night
I figured the Russians would prob
ably sneak down and establish the
nest anyway, and 1t would be too
near the farmhouse, so I decided to
leave it. I kept the farmhouse be-

French Artist Visits Wrangell For
chronological Study

Flying here from Juneau on
Thursday of last week with the in
tention of stopping but three days
in Wrangell, Mr. and Mrs. Wolfgang
r. Paalen of Paris and Miss Eva
Sulzer of Switzerland, found so
much of interest here that they
heightened their stay to eleven days
and will be here until the Prince
George sails south Sunday after
noon.
They left Paris six weeks ago and
after two weeks stay in New York
went to Ottawa for a week with
friends then crossed Canada to
Prince Rupert where passage to Sit
ka was secured on the Canadian
National liner, Prince Robert. They
flew in to Juneau from Sitka and
the following day flew to Wran-
CELL.
Paalen, a prominent French ar
tist, will exhibit in New York next
April. One of his pictures was pur-
chased last year by Director Gallotin
for the Museum of Living Art, New
York University, while on a tour
of France.
Besides his painting, Mr. Paalen
is interested in chronological studies,
particularly that of primitive Amer
lean art. He is a member of the
Societe des Americanists de Paris
and his trip to Alaska was made
primarily for evidences of ancient
peoples here.
While in New York he spent
much time with DR.. George Heye,
noted anthropologist, who gave him
the name of w. c. Waters to con-
tact at Wrangell.
DR.. Heye, a former New York
banker, in 1903 started an Ameri-
can anthropologieal collection which
developed into the Heye Museum.
He founded the Museum of the AM
erican Indian, Heye Foundation, in
1916, endowed it, turned over entire
collection of nearly half a million
specimens and became its director.
When in Wrangell few years ago,
DR.. Heye became very interested in
Mr. Waters Thlinget collection as
he found it contained valuable spec
linens, but not for sale, which were
lacking in his OWN collection.

No One Under Sixteen
Can WOrkIn Canneries

Katherine F. Lenroot. Chief Of the
Children's Bureau of the Z. S. De-
partment of Labor has announced
thar with the opening of the 1889
canning season operators of can
neries should bear IN mind that the
minimum age of ten years establish
ed by the ehild-labor provisions OF
the Fair Labor Standards Act ap-
plies to children employed in can
neries.
IN response to numerous inquiries
concerning the application OF the
chfld-labor provisions of the Fair
Labor Standards Act to the ship
ment or delivery for shipment in in
terstate commerce of canned goods
such as fruits, vegetables, and sea
food. Miss Lenroot stated that can
ming is regarded as production with
in the meaning of the child-labor
provisions of the act. Therefore, the
shipment or delivery for shipment
of canned goods in commerce is for
hidden if within 80 days prior to
the removal of such goods from a
Gamer, minors below 16 years of
age were employed, or suffered or
permitted to work, in or about the
eannery in which such goods were
produced.
Miss Lenroot pointed out that age
certificates are available to employ
ers throughout the country and that
operators of canning establishments
should avail themselves of the pro-
lection afforded by the act against
unfntentional employment of minors
below Is years of age by obtain
ing certificates of age for minors in
their employ.

Allowed
But Not Fire Works

1T is unlawful to set off fire
works of any kind within the city
limits of Wrangell, City Clerk L.
B. Chisholm said today in answer
to an inquiry at the city hall.
Ordinance Number 20, passed in
1907 by the city council, P. C. Nc
Cormack, mayor, and ]. E. Worden,
city clerk, has never been repealed,
he said.
The ordinance states it is an or
der prohibiting the explosion of fire
works, bombs, roman candles, sky
rockets, anvils loaded with powder,
or fireworks of any description, with
in the incorporated limits on July
or July or at any time prior to
those dates from the passage of the
ordinance, or following those dates
without first obtaining a written
permit from the mayor.
The penalty for violation is fine
of not less than five dollars or more
than ten dollars, or imprisonment
not less than three days or more
than five days; or both fine and i'm
prisonment.
The old ordinance has been res
pected some years, but for several
years it has been ignored. Last year
the city council decided there should
be no further fire crackers, but
many business firms through a mis-
understanding stocked up with fire
works this year and it seems too
late to entirely stop their sale. In
addition, as a result of a broadside
iof fireworks advertising, many
children sent away for big supplies
| of Fourth of July fireworks.
Mayor Fisk states that cap pis-
tolls and small firecrackers such as
children use, will be allowed inside
city limits this year, but not the in
discriminate shooting of fireworks.

Council Says Bicycles
Are For One, Not Two

In view of the hazards incurred
by the many bicycle riders children S
safety demands that the city ordin-
anee pertaining to bicycle regula-
tions be strictly enforced and in
str0ctions thereto have been issued
to city police said Mayor Van H.
Fisk today.
Bicycle regulations. he points ont,
make it unlawful for any person
operating a bicycle to allow any
other person to ride with him on
the same bicycle in any way or
manner whatsoever.
Each bicycle must be equipped
with a horn OF a bell and a front
light. The light shall be kept burn
ing during all hours from twilight
to daybreak, whenever the bicycle
is used
Another regulation that has been
notably violated, said the mayor. is
the one which requires that the
rider of a bicycle before turning the
corner of any street or public way
in the town. shall give a signal by
sounding a horn or bell; if follow
ed by a vehicle shall give a signal
by wave of the hand that he in
tends to slow down.

cordance with Mrs. Hoelke's direc-
lions and a part of her will. Mrs.
