The Finnish people are now be-
lieved TO be desperately anxious to
get out of the war. Reports indi-
cate that the popular sentiment for
peace has been intensified by the
Soviet bombing OF Helsinki and the
latest American warning that Fin
land must suffer the full conse.

more. In some years they are not
killed until frost outdoors And if
you have the misfortune to get
them in the house, even the coming
