Modern Joan Finds
Life Too Complex
New York, Jan. 29.—Born 500
dTi years too late, a “1940 Joan of
Arc’’ found life had become too
complicated today tor a projected
ride up and down Fifth avenue
on a white horse.
. The young woman, who de-
1^ scribed herself as Agnes Rey
nolds, 23, arrived at 40th street
and Fifth in a picturesque Joan
of Arc costume complete with
spear and a shield inscribed;
“In 1940 Joan of .Arc crusades
- for peace, jobs and civil liberties.’’
She said the ride was sponsored i
by the American Youth congres.s.
Gently but firmly, police es
corted her to a west-bound cab,
whale others led the white charg
er eastward.
‘‘Why?’’ she demanded.
“No permit,’’ police said, brief
ly.

Who Favor Soviet
.Moscow. Jan. .30.—An official
Riis.slan news agency dispatch
from Stockholm tonight said that
the rinnish government at Hel
sinki had executed hundreds of
workers suspected of sympathy
with the Kuusinen regime.
(This regime Is the “people’s
government” whose establishment
was announced by Moscow on De
cember 1, the day after Russia
invaded Finland. Moscow said It
was set up at Terljokl, just in
side the Finnish frontier on the
Karelian Isthmus, headed by Ot
to Kuusinen, a Finnish Commun
ist exile.)

foriattsbls. mi&tAry'tolSbt,- Prs-
illler CMUiulter told the French mt-
Won In Sr brdsdeast tonight And
wsmsd that the country must
etawet hard knocks in “the total
war’whlelt cannot be long in
brsaklng.’'^
He pleaded lor increased arma
ment output by French industry,
asked steady discipline' on the
home front, and promised merci
less action against agents dissem
inating Oerinan or Russian propa
ganda.
Before he spoke, a semi-olficlal
statement confirmed that the Al
lies had assembled an adeqnate
army in the Near East against
tho possibility that war would
spread In the Balkans.
This statement did not give
figures, but said the British and
French “will have in the Near
Ektst at the necessary moment
suffioient men to face any even
tuality.” It labeled as “manifest
ly exaggerations” Russian guess
es that 400,000 men were massed
in Syria under General Maxine
Weygand, the French generalissi
mo of Allied forces in the Near
Bast.
The night Allied communique
said aviation and artillery “show
ed some activity” on the western
front. Earlier, rifle fire was re
ported as “quite heavy” between
the Maglnot and Siegfried lines in
the Rhine region where German
patrol action increased.
“It would be vain and even
criminal to underestimate Ger
many’s material power,’’ Daladier
said “. . . We will win, but we
must carry off also a victory far
[exceeding an armed victory.”
I German propagandists, he as-
' serted, hope to split France and
Great Britain. He called attention
to the plight of Austria, Poland,
and Czecho-Slovakia, which he
called “lands of despair” whose
peoples were being destroyed by
Germany through “massacre and
migration.”
The semi-official statement on
the Near East arnny said that
army was to fulfill the Allies’ ob
ligations to Turkey, Greece, and
Rumania and their “duty of
friendship” to Yugoslavia.
Before the war, the Allies
pledged aid to the first three in
event of aggression. No public
commitment has been given in re
gard to Yugoslavia.
Particular importance was at
tached to the statement in view
of the genera] apprehension here
over the possibility that the war
would spread to southea.stern
Europe.
If had been known generally
that France was building up her
forces in Syria, although official
information has not been avail
able.
