DUBLIN, Dec. 20 (by Cable
(N.AN.AD-Stories about refueling
OF German submarines on the Irish
Coast are pure fiction.
The Irish government knows that
no such case has occurred. The en-
tire Irish coast is under watch day
and night, from fixed watching
posts, police and local security pa
trolls, army air force patrols and
ships of the coastal marine.
Apart from this, oil supplies are
very limited and have to be strictly
rationed Every gallon must be ac-
counted for. In addition. all oil is
distributed in Ireland by American
and British controlled companies or
by companies which receive their
supplies from the British Petroleum
Control Board.
Naval experts here characterize
the idea of refueling in lonely Irish
bays and coves as absurd, and, in
fact, technically not feasible. At
tached to the British representa-
tive's staff in Ireland is naval at
tache who is trained submarine
commander. No such refueling
could occur without knowledge of
the British government.
Lord Smell on behalf of the Brit
fish Ministry, has publicly denied
these stories. The British govern
ment, which protested so strongly
against such occurrences as use by
German ships of Norwegian waters,
has never made representations on
this subject-being fully cognizant
of all the facts
The stories can be denied with full
confidence that both the Irish and
British governments know them to
be untrue in all particulars.

Medical Planes Serve

Planes of Russia's air medical
service are bringing quick relief fol
sick people in all parts OF the coun-
try ruled from Moscow. They have
attended cases in the heart OF the
Central Asian mountains, on the
snowbound wastes beyond the Arctic
Circle and in the dense far eastern
wilderness, supplying expert medica
service to the patient or taking hin
to a hospital. During the first hal
of 1910 the air medical service per-
formed 2,4OO operations and made

changed much. The fantastic sue
cess of the Greeks in bending and
then breaking off the Italian stiletto.
and the British victory in the West
ern tEgyptian Desert, have given
everyone here fresh spirit OF
optimism.
Eight weeks ago. it was taken for
granted that the Greeks would COL
lapse and a good many smart people
didn't see how the Italians could be
prevented from taking Alexandra.
Disappointed With L. S.
On the other side of the balance
sheet, Germany's submarine warfare
has been too we'll executed for COM
fort and attacks on Britain's indus
trial cities have given people some
thing very unpleasant to think
about. Since this war will probably
be won or lost in knockdown, drag
out fight between Britain proper and
Germany proper, it would be much
pleasanter if Britain were able to
trade blows directly with Germany
instead of having to concentrate on
Germany's worser half, Italy.
One source of concealed but very
genuine disappointment has been
the failure of the American position
to CONCEAL more rapidly since the
presidential elections. 1t is now gen.
erallv concede here, after consider
able mental fumbling during the
early months of the conflict, that the
war against Germany can be won
decisively only with the 100 per cent
cooperation of the United States,
short of nothing.
The old conviction that Britain
herself could build enough bombers
and enough destroyers and concen-
trate enough merchant shipping to
win decisively. all by herself, is gone
There is still the feeling that Britain
can hold out almost indefinitely
with the amount of assistance that
she is now going to get from a neu-
tral United States. but holding out
It is now realized, doesn't mean
winning.
Hoped for Speedy Resolution.
Nobody here expected President
Roosevelt to force a declaration OF
war the day after his reelection
but it was certainly hoped that the
American people, with their minds
finally freed for action in the for
eign field, might speedily resolve
themselves to take the great de-
cision.
: The fact is now realized that the
american people actually have not
taken any definite decision and that
they are very likely not to do SC
unless they are suddenly aroused

Finland Goes Into Mourning
For Ex President KoIio
Country's War Chief
Dies in Arms of
Baron Munnerheim

| By the Associated Press.
HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. 20.-All
Finland went into mourning today
for peasant-born Kyosti Kallio who
became the republics President.
Flags were half-staffed and public
dancing, singing and other enter
tainments were banned as marks
of respect for Kallio, who died OF
heart attack yesterday at rail-
way station as he was preparing to
leave for the peace and quiet OF
his country estate.
Kallio, whose illness forced him
to step down from the presidency
November % after he had led Fin
land in her fight against Russia,
was present yesterday when Prime
Minister Risto Ryti was elected to
fill out his unexpired term ending
in l943.
Cheered by thousands. he then
went to the station, collapsed and
died almost at once. His friends
said the excitement and physical
strain incident to his departure were
contributing causes of his death.
He was g.
His widow, his sculptor son
Kalewo and two married daughters
survive.
Dies in Mannerheim' Arms.
Kallio died in the arms of the
country's greatest military leader,
Baron Gustaf Mannerheim. just as
he was saying farewell to Helsinki
and to public life.
On the platform company of
soldiers was drawn up in his honor.
He paced smartly to the end of the
line in the last act of what Helsinki
had planned as its good-by to him.
He smiled. said "Good'by, thanks
for everything" Then he gasped,
thrust a hand to his breast and
tottered. Baron Mannerheim caught
his sagging body
Mrs. Kallio already was in the
waiting train. A group of officers
took in her husbands body, and the
crowd was huShed
1t had been moving and exhaus-
tive day for Kallio. After the for
malities of Ryti's election there had
been reception at the presidential
palace at which Kallio had appeared
animated and happy at the prospect
of quiet farm life.
1t seemed that at least half of
Helsinki's population of 800. 900 stood
on the streets to cheer the little
caravan as Kallio rode to the sta
ton. Some held flaming torches:
the bands played the "Pori March, ,"
the Finnish national song. and that
melody resounded in the railway
station as Kallio died.
First Attack Last August.
He had stood with a quiet firm
ness through all the crises that
beset his land, and he suffered his
first serious attack last August.
Some months later he returned to
work, but on November % he re-
signed after it became clear that
his health was permanently inn
paired.
Ryti. who became Prime Minis
ter on December l, 1899. was chosen
to fill Kallios unexpired term and
now. by vote of 288 of the 300
cast in the electoral college, as
sumes a full term.
He is ST. He is credited with
stabilizing Finlands currency and
establishing her banks as among the
worlds most secure during his pres
idency of the Bank of Finland and
as Finance Minister
He was largely responsible, too,
for Finlands regular payments on
her war debt to the United States.
