It has an oddly contemporary sound the Finnish ski troops who resisted a Russian in- vasion in 1590. By the 18th century ski training had taken its place in the ar military curricu- lum of the Swedish and Norwegian Armies. In the Russo-Finnish war of 1808 and 1809, Swedish and Finnish troops skis overwhelmed an invading Russian Army which was attempting to cut Finland > does the story of regu on in two at: Suomussalmi. In the end the Russians succeeded, and Finland remained Russian for 110 years, Skis in those days were of unequal lengths; the shorter and plumper ski, used for climbing, the gliding. There ws twice as long as its present-day counterpart. In 1806 a Swedish cap- taln devised a ski-stick with a bayonet on it; but in its essentials the ski of today is the same. Nothing has been devised in our n rical to take the place of this weapon of silent warfare which the Scandinavian kings red and used more than 700 years ago.

Another reason for the cheerful greetings and bright smiles is politics. Wwith 30 candidates for the Territorial alone at large in the First Division, the amount of glad-handing and back-slapping reaches proportions which affect the whole body politic. Whether they candidates have our congratulations for their seven- days-a-week cheerfulne: NOTE ON PEACE The Nobel Peace prizes for 1938 and 1839, total- ing $56,000, have not been awarded, no present per- sonality being found worthy of them. It is being proposed, therefore, that the prizes be used to buy ambulances for Finland, SIGNS OF THE TIMES Crashing, one after another, are the bulwarks: the ‘“old days.” On Sunday, due to the war, The London Times broke a traditicn more than a century old—and put news as well as ads on the front page. of What Brand? (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Finnish soldiers get intoxicated before battle, according to the Moscow newspaper, Pravda, whose title means Truth, but whose contents do not al- ways come up to expectations. What the Russians hope to prove by this charge, it is difficult to say. With temperatures what they are in the fighting regions, few would blame the Finns for warming up when they can. What moti- vates the accusation, however, is probably jealousy. It has its counterpart in American history. A carper once complained to President Lincoln that Gen. U. S. Grant drank whisky. The Eman- cipator’s reply was an inquiry as to the brand so he could send barrels of it to other Union generals, Stalin would do well to ascertain through his omnipotent GPU what brand of fire water the Finns drink and then issue great quantities of it to his own troops. For, intoxicated or cold sober, the Finns have been giving the Russians a recep- tion fhey never anticipated. There may be ex- aggeration in reports of the numbers of Russians captured, killed or wounded, but there is one fact that po amount of criticism of Finnish claims has been able to explain away: the Russians have not conquered Finland. The “invincible” Red Army whether it has lost 900 men (as Moscow recently claimed) or 90,000, has not got to first base. Perhaps vodka would not help Joe Stalin’s min- ions. Whatever the condition of the Finnish soldiers in battle formation, there is one great difference between them and the Russians that no amount of liqguor can overcome. The Finns are fighting for their independence and for their homes; they are fightir free men. The Russians are regimented to battle for a cause in which many of them do not believe in which interest. and they have no personal Same Difference (Cincinnati Enquirer) The American Civil Liberties Union whose good work in upholding the Bill of Rights in many cases cannot be denied, has discovered that the denial of civil rights in Soviet Russia is not unlike their sup- pression in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. A special committee of the union has adopted a reso- lution to that effect. What ordinary people recognized for a long time the union and many other organizations and indi- viduals refused to see. They were hoodwinked by tall talk. They heard Russian leaders speak of de- mocracy and evidently thought they meant it. Few of them stopped to look at the performance behind the promise, They made a distinction between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. The allignment of Russia and Germany and the inexcusable aggression against Finland has apparent- ly opened the eyes of those who held out to the last in the belief that the Soviet Union had some- thing more to offer than the other dictatorships. Dictatorship is dictatorship, whether Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini is at the helm. The little fellow gets it in the neck and to pretend that he does not because one of the “leaders” talks Packing for Utopia Mrs. A. L. Lornsten, of Pasadena, Calif., and her daughter, Margaret, do thelr packing as they prepare to set out for the uninhabitated Ba- hama island of East Caicos.
