it on the next corner. No one was

The streets cut off from traffic

hospitals.
l saw one woman with bare feet,
dressed only in night gown and

There were also several others who

homeless to our hotel. The badly
burned ones were carried out in can

It was late in the forenoon before
they got the fire completely under

Since the fire the traffic has been so
heavy that traffic policemen have

International
News Review
By GEoRG STRANDvOLD

Week after week the Firms, de-
Tending their country against Russian
aggression, go from victory to victory;
early this week came word that their
army once more had destroyed an
entire Russian division, this time on
the front near Suomusaelmi; they
killed, wounded or captured approx
imately $4,000 men and, besides, took
an immense lot of guns, ammunition,
armored cars, tanks, portable field
kitchens, and so on.
The significance of this triumph
lies in the fact that it appears to
put a stop to the Russian attempts
to cut Finland into two parts at the
point where the attacked country is
narrowest. Immediately after this
victory the situation could be summed
up thus: Penetration of Finland from
east to west has been prevented; in
the Arctic part of the country the
Firms are holding nearly all their
positions; on the southern-the Kare-
lian-front the Mannerheim line has
proved adequately strong, and it ap-
pears that the Russians are deferring
new thrusts against it until more
favorable conditions are brought
about
In short, after six weeks of war
fare, the Russians seem to be no far
Their than at the beginning of the
conflict.
Threats.
One of the natural ramifcationS of
the Russo-Finnish war is the wave of
pro-Finnish sentiment eeping
through Denmark, Norway and Swe-
den. These countries, officially neu-
trail, cannot send troops to aid the
Firms, but they give support in ever
so many other ways.
Lately, there has been some talk
about sending British and French
troops to Finland by way of Norway
and Sweden; from London and Paris
there are no official announcements
of such plans, but there are very
direct statements to the effect that
Finland will be helped in other ways.
However-the rumors of possible
transportation of troops through
Scandinavian territory have aroused
a storm of bitter comment in the
German newspaper press which never
expresses an opinion without the
sanction or the command of the gov
