FINSARENOTIN FIGHTING MOOD Cannot Be Counted Upon For Their Action Against Bolshevism By Associated Press New York, Dec. 19. —Finland need not be counted upon for aggressive action against Bolshevism, accord ing to H. Montagu Donner, an American who has just returned from a two months' visit to the new republic in the north. Mr. Donner, who is president of the Finland Constitutional Deague of America, said that the chance to enlist the active co-operation of the Mnnish army in the campaign against Pctrograd was lost this sum mer, when Admiral Kolchak, Gen eral Yudenitch and the other anti- Bolshevist Russian leaders, neglect ed to give timel yrecognition to the ed to give timely recognition to the lied governments refused to give assurance of financial support with out which Finland could not ven ture to enter upon war with the So viet government. At that time, he said, the morale of the Bolshevist army was low and the capture of I'etrograd by the combined Russian, Esthonian and Finnish armies would have been easy. Now, with the collapse of the Yudenitch campaign. Finland must confine herself to holding her fron tiers arrd protecting Eastern Ka relia, which she had been invited by the inhabitants to occupy. Fear of Bolshevism in Finland Itself, ho said, had entirely disap peared; even moderate Socialists having assured the existing coali tion government of their support in ase of a revival of the "Red" in surrectionary movement which was suppressed with so much difficulty a year ago. Fear has disappeared too of a repetition this year of the fam ines under which Finland has suf fered so severely during the war, because the harvest has been ex ceptionally good. Food Is abund ant in Helsingfors and throughout the country and supplies promise to last, through until the next harvest without resort to "bark bread" and other famine substitutes, of which the Finnish population has such un happy recollections. Rusincss conditions are good ex cept for the extreme depreciation of the Finnish mark and the lack of shipping to carry Finnish ex ports. Barge quantities of timber, wood pulp an<j paper are awaiting export in exchange for required im ports, of which the most pressing are machinery, agricultural imple ments, etc. A good market is of fered for American goods of this character. , Another handicap under which Finnish industry suffers is the high cost of labor, Mr. Donner declared. The workmen now worked only i, bout seven hours daily, the five o'clock closing hour having* been made practically universal in all lines of industry and business, while wages had greatly Increased as against prewar times. International Police Force, Is Suggested I jondon. Dec. 19.—Creation of an International olice force Is sug gested by Major David Da\ies. a member of Parliament. He told the tirotius Society that each nation should have a sufficient army-to maintain internal order and its quota when the League of is a tions required it; that no nation should provide the League of Na tions with an adequate force for immediate use. These units should, be- concen trated in different parts of the world and' the naval portion simi larly constituted. Poison gas, war planes, submarines, heavy artillerj and tanks should bo ceded to the league to form the headquarters force and no state should be allowed to own them or*to make use of any new invention for war-like purposes Major Davies said the greatest re sistance to the suggestion Probably now would be found in America "which was the more saddening be cause the President of the great re public was one of the earliest and most powerful exponents of the principles of the League." Reception to Prince Pleases the Globe l.ondon, Deo. 19.—The warmth of America's welcome to the Prince of Wales moved the Globe to remark humorously: "Americans will P le -e remember that he is our Prince not their*" The paper explains that the Americans gave the Prince ch a reception that "anybody might be ex cused for fearing that they had some annexationist designs in view. The Prince's welcome in New 1 ork, Ihe Globe added, "was the real thing, coming from, perhaps. the most warm-hearted people in the world. They have much to teach him of the warmth of that friendship which mischief-makers cannot break and he had somewhat to teach them about institutions which, it may be, they l ave occaslonly misunderstood. ' "The onlv thing wanted to make the friendship" of Britain and America impregnable is that they should know ,no another better than they do. To help on that work was the I rince s mission."

Simple Prescription Gives Instnnt Belief. llnkm Breathing Kr In New KnKland7~where Bronchial \sthmn, Bronchitis and otlier dis eases of the throat and lungs are so prevalent, remarkably successful re sults are being reported following the use of a new form of treatment known as Oxidaze, a physician's pre scription. Oxidaze is a harmless but powerful combination of curative essential oils concentrated and compressed into a small tablet. One of these tablets slowly dissolved before going to bed seems to have the effect of releasing the musqular constriction of the. bronchial tubes, opening up the air passages and regulating spasmodic lung action. This enables the pa tient to breathe easily and naturally while lying down and to get a com fortable night's sleep. So much interest has been shown that local druggists, including Ueo. A.

Oxi daze Is pleasant to take, contains no harmful, habit forming drugs 9nd is not expensive. This makes their test an easy matter.
