FINN-RUSS WAR ENDS WHAT NOW?

The brief, bitter war between sturdy little Finland and ponder ous ungainly Russia has ended. Historians here set up a mile stone and students of the trend of nations make their appraisals as to the new status and future bearing on world peace.
 Finland suffers tremendously in loss of territory and is brought under Russian dominance, but she emerges with the respect and moral support and sympathy of the world-and in no mean mea- sure will at least be autonomous Her magnificent fight saved her from a far more serVile state and served to prove that Russian is anything but the sweeping force that many had feared her to be.
 Russia's dream of carrying So- vietism to the world or far be- yond the old borders of Russia is rudely shaken. She gains strateg ic bases on the Baltic and the Scandinavian frontier, but wheth CT or not he is appreciably streng thened on that front remains to be seen.
 Germany figures little in press references to the new Finnish Russian pact but in all liklihood is pleased that Russia did not gain a more formidable position such as would have resulted had she persisted in her drive toward or across the Scandinavian pen insula, possibly throwing an en- circling barrier about the Ger mans above the Baltic and to the North Sea.

Sitka Doubles Population In The Last Decade

The historic city of Sitka, now fifth largest city in Alaska has taken the place which was held by Nome in the last census, rank ing behind Juneau, Ketchikan, Anchorage and Fairbanks. The present population of Sitka on Oc tober l, 1889 was 1945.
 Unless Nome population prov es to be more, Nome will have to take Sixth place. The nearest towns to Nome's size are:
 Petersburg = 1288
 Wrangell - HAP.
 It is evident that Nomes rank will be the fifth or sixth largest City in Alaska.
 If you have not made your guess at Polet's store you still have time to do so.

SPRING ARRIVES

Yesterday, March 21st, the of 1icial first day of spring arrived with the smell of invigorating fresh air and the feeling that summer is just around the corner however, not like that proverbial corner of prosperity-for that is one thing we are sure of up here in Nome is that after winter, comes summer. Today also blos- somed out with the smell of spring in the air, soft, sylphan breezes stirring the ozone.
 It is on such days that you would most appreciate a drive in to the country where Wild-fow- CTS are blossoming and the odor of fresh grown things permeates the air-that is if you were out in the States.
 However, NomeiteS are thank ful for the chance to get out of their winter hot houses and stroll the snow-covered streets in light overcoats, enjoying the mild wea ther and cheery atmosphere. Any way that's the way we feel-and we suppose it's entirely due to the fact that Spring is in the air

| correspondent in France said the
Aiehts had beer made from French
bases.
The flights eliminated a week of
unusual scouting activity by both
British and German air forces which
military experts regarded as neces-
sary preparation for determined air
offensives.
These operations, they explained,
have the dual purpose Of testing the
strength of the two air forces and
ferreting out vulnerable points for
attack.
The British reported that two Ger
man airscouts were downed during
the day but denied a Nazi high com-
mand announcement that two Royal
Air Forces planes had been destroy
ed.
One of the German raiders was
shot down by British patrols off the
southeast coast of Scotland, near
the Firth of Forth, important naval
base.
In the war at sea it was disclosed
that the trawler Lucida had gone
down with the loss of all of her crew
of u after hitting a mine.
On the home front fears of sabot-
age were stirred by a series of Incl
dents.
Sabotage Reported
At Donaghadee, northern ireland,
a sentry's shots drove off foul men
apparently attempting to cut the
cable between Scotland and north.

port, in suburban London, sentries
fired at an intruder who ignored
their challenge.
Fire routed northern Ireland's
governor, the Duke of Abercorn,
and his household from 3~0O-year-old
Baronscourt castle.
Explosions and fire swept a ship

was not involved.

Not Openly Done

In Norway and Denmark recruit
ing is not being carried on openly
but willing volunteers experience no
difficulty in learning where to apply
for service under the Finnish colors.
A recruiting office in Stockholm,
Sweden, is doing a lively business
openly. Many adventures from the
United States and other countries
have enlisted there with the Swedes.
Sweden makes it easy for the Of
ficers and men in her army to go to
Finland. They are released readily
for volunteer service. Some of her
best officers have gone after re-
signing from the Swedish army.
King Gustaf Of Sweden in a
speech to parliament, which was
convened to consider vast defense
expenditures, expressed sympathy
for the Firms.
A similar expression of sympathy
was made by King Haakon of Nor
way yesterday in Oslo. The king
said the government would give
military training to men who wished

unteers for Finnish service.
