Rose To Top
In Finn War
CBy Associated PressJ

JULY II - Shrouded Finnish ski
troops and the coolest winter in
half a century were stalling the 81
gantic Russian army in its tracks in
January, 1910. Military experts were
concluding that perhaps Moscow's
military might was a fable.
Then Marshal Senior Timoshenko
was called IN. Slowly. ponderously
the army pulled itself together. FL
nally the Mannerheim Line was
smashed and Timoshenko was a Rus
sian hero.
Stain named him defense commits
sar over Kliment Yoroshiloff, who
became chairman OF the Defense
Committee, a baekseat job.
Immediately Timoshenko started
rehashing the politics-infested ar
my. He reduced the political COM
missars, installed in the early days
when the Soviet wasn't sure of some
Of its officers, to the status of as
sistants. He revived officers ranks,
which had been abolished in favor
of communicating Of various grades
frightened Discipline and created de-
coratiOns Of merit.
He sent officers out for more field
work. staged war games that en-
phasized more unified offensiYes and
more flexible defenses. Russian mil
itary journals said Stain himself
had ordered Timoshenko to under
take reforms based on the exper-
fence OF recent wars" presumably
the Russo-Finnish campaign and
the European war.
Towering, round-headed limo
shenko's military career began
when, as a peasant youth, he was
modified into the Cars army in
the World War. His cavalry division
was one OF the first TO go Bolsheyik,
His most satisfying personal tri-
umph probably came when he led
his army into Bessarabia, eeded to
Russia by Rumania last year. Tim
oshenko was born in Bessarabia 46
years ago and had seen his home
land fall to Rumania after the
World War. Cameramen were pres
ent for his reunion with his family
after 20 years, and much was made
of it in Russian papers.

Boston Evening Transcript

BOSTON, April 23-The Boston
Evening Transcript, one of New Eng
lands outstanding newspapers dur
ing its 111-year history, announced
at noon today that it would suspend
publication April 30.
Richard N. johnson, the publisher
said in an editorial statement that
the papers Scent price in the
sharply competitive 2-cent Boston
field had failed to produce the neces-
sary revenue to continue" He said
circulation revenue increased after
the higher price was instituted in
1899, but that advertising had de-
clined.
Ordinarily, when newspaper pub
lication is discontinued, the public
is not notified in advance" Mr..
johnson said. I'VE feel, however.
that a newspaper is public trustee.
AS such it should report to the pub
lie as well as to its stockholders.
Our readers and the community
should be given the same oppor-
tunity as its owners to produce any
prompt, sound alternative to dis
continuance of publication"
The Transcript was established in
1880 in what was then city of co.
600 population. For more than q
century the paper was in the own
ership of one family-the de-
scendants of Henry w. Dutton.

their own countrymen as the I'M

ana seem 10 regard their concession
or their plantation as a little ex-
tension of the "old country"
Another thing that makes the

The pistol flourishing tactics
which the japanese employed ir
Indo-China to extract concessions
from the French will not work here
at least as long as the interna-
tional situation remains favorable to
the Dutch. The diplomatic climb
down which the japanese have
been performing here makes the
Dutch wonder whether the Japa-
nese pistol is loaded with bullets or
with birdshot.
