A hundred yards beyond this we
halt again, for here the communi-

front line trench, the last outpost
OF Finland, and we can look over
her defenses.
Here the forest ends. In front
of our first line trench is a clear
ing and a couple of hundred feet
of barbed wire, thigh-deep, as in
the last World war. The wire is
laced around stumps of hewn-down
trees. But out beyond the wire is
something new, found only in Fin
land-a great swath in the forest,
paralleling the wire and the
trenches, at least 200 yards wide.
Here lie the PROSTATE trunks of
trees. Their branches have been
Topped off and these again have
been laced with barbed wire. On
the opposite edge of this swath the
Russians have dug their trenches,
as we quickly discover from the
occasional ping, fit sounds like the
tearing of silk by quick jerk
of a rifle bullet above the deeper
thunder of artillery.
Any mountain climber who has
spent weary, nerye-cracking

across forest of pines felled by
an old forest fire, can understand
why Finland can never be con-

TIRED OF LABELS

1t was a meeting that revealed that intelligent
Southerners of all creeds of all races and from all
walks of life are tired of their section of the cou-
trv travelling under derogatory labels-and it dis
closed they are not only tired Of it, they are giving
the problems serious thought and are planning def
mite action
A good example in point was the report Of the
conferences Civil Liberties COMMITTEE, set at
the first conference in Birmingham and headed by
Joseph S Gelders of Birmingham.
One Of the conclusions reached at the first con-
ference in 1888 was that the system of poll taxes still
prevailing in eight Southern states was dsfranchis
ing to a large measure a large majority in those
states The only thing to do would be to seek repeal
of the poll tax
The committee drew up measure designed to
outlaw the poll tax in national elections, then spent
ten months trying to find Southern Congressman
with enough courage and sufficient interest in the
masses of people to introduce the bill in Congress
The search in vain

That the new program, hailed by
