Because of the num e'oti)s execuations there, he sid, the town of Sveaborg has been renamed (ilgotha. Finlitad is on the point of starvuation, despite its German friends, and General Mannerheim, commander of the Finnish army, asked Mr. Mor ris, American minister to Sweden, what chance there was for Finland to get food from the United States. Mr. Morris told him plainly it was very slim so long as Germany held the country under her control. Ostensibly as a measure to save food, the Finnish government has ordered the expulsion of all Jews. When the news came of the assas sination of Count von Mirbach, Ger man ambassador to Russia, in Mos cow, at the instigation of a group of social revolutionists, there were many predictions that the kaiser would get revenge by sending a great army to occupy the chief Russian cities, and indeed it was semi-official ly stated in Berlin that such would be his course. But after breaking off diplomatic relations the chief Hun ap parently thought better of it and a mild statement was issued hoping "thatt tie Russian government and peo ple will succeed in nipping the pres ent revolutionary agitation in the bud." It is not easy to see how Gcr many. would gain much by further grabbing in distracted and starving Russia. 'Che pan-ferman party triumphed over its olp ents tand forced the resignation ofl Foreign Minister von Kuehirnamnn tecause of his "peace im possiblb by force" speech, and then proceeded to pick Admnirlal von Hintze, the trickiest and most disreputable of Teuton diplomats, as his successor.

Hungary, too, is furious at Austria because the Hun garian regiments were forced to bear the brunt of the attack in Italy and in some cases were practically wiped (uit. There were no major operations on the Italian front last week, but the Italians unceasingly harassed the enemy by raids and sorties and in the mountain region improved their own positions considerably. The American aviators on that front kept up their excellent work. On the western front there was an ominous silence on the part of the Iluns. The usual 40 days needed by them to organize a new drive had nearly expired, but still they did not start. However, abnormal activity was observed behind their lines, especially in the regions where the Americans are stationed. On 'T'eusdny the French undertook the first considerable in fantry operation in many lays and, with the aid of tanks, advanced more than a mile on a front of two and a half miles northwest of Compiegne, I'rlsoners and gunr were captured and positions occupied that serve to pro tect the important railway junction at Estrees-St. Denis. General Petain also took important ground east of the Retz forest on the Marne front. There were many raids by all the allied farces (luring the week, and some ar tillery activity beyond the ordinary in the I3ritish sectors. Such splendid work is being done by the air forces of the allies on the west front that military observers now as sert the suleriority in the air now un questionably rests with them. The British flyers have engaged in a nun her of extraordinary explotts, and the French andi Americans are keeping up their end (of it most satisfactorily. On Wedlnesday a squadron of Amuerilean scout phines flew back of the German lines in the Chateau T.ihierry region for 50 miles, obtaining valuable in formation and all returning safely. Colonel Roosevelt wvas elated by the news that his youngest son, Lieut. Quen tin Roosevelt, had downed his first Hun piane. Bombing raids(1 on German cities by the allied airmen are i ncreaii ng in frequency arid effective ness. In prepa rationi for the next big drive Von Hinadenburng called for a million more men, to be taken fromt the fac toaries, t heir phlaees being iil by p~ris oners anad foreigners, a tid, coat rary to agireelilents, b~y exchanuigedi prisoniers of wa'r.

Although the navy department nounced that the cause of the loss the San Diego had not been detern . ed, information received from !. able sources in the afternoon indic that submarines had been operatei?,? off the coast and that she had be torpedoed.

NO IMMEDIATE NEED FOR NERVOUS UNITS IN CLASS TWO Washington.- With the calls for in creasingly large numbers of draft registrants to fill up training camps and the first quotas of the 'na tional army, there is much specula tion throughout the country as to how soon class 2 men will be called for ser vice. There need be no immediate anxiety on the part of these men or their relatives. No call for fighting men will be made upon class 2 men In 1919, in all probability.
