Washington. — By the over
whelming vote of 67 to 32, the
Republican national committee
Friday clio.se Philadelphia for the
party’s Tit4 0 convention city. The
date of the convention was fixed
for June 24.
The thing that won for Phila
delphia wa.s, obviously, an offer
of $200,000 and the use of a con
vention liall. The offer was made
by Mayor Robert f.,amberton, who
reminded the committee mem
bers that the money, over and a-
bove the expenses of the conven
tion, could be applied to be cost
of the ensuing campaign.
For Chicago, Mayor Edward J.
Kelly offered to defray the co.st
of the convention, with nothing
additional. Eleven days ago he
stood before a similar meeting of
the Democratic national commit
tee and offered to match any rea-
.sonable cash bid that might be
made by any of the other cities.
He got the Democratic convention
for $150,000.
The choice of a Republican
convention city settled do'wn sev
eral days ago to a contest between
Philadelphia and Chicago. It be
came so Obvious, in fact, that one
or the Other wo'uld get the big
party meeting that bids which
had been expected from St. Louis
and San Francisco were not even
submitted.
Just one other city was pro
posed, Fargo, N. I). to the delight
and amusement of the crowd,
William Stern, North Dakota com
mitteeman. detailed the advant
ages to l>e found there—twenty
hotels ‘'all protected by the po
lice” and 53 miles of paving. He
concludetl by handing National
Chairman John D. M. Hamilton a
blank check on the Dakota Na
tional Bank, adding that he was
its president.
Believe Russians
Will Be Stopped
Helsinki, Finland.—Men, guns
I and airplanes have reached the
Finnish Mannerheim line to stop
a Russian offensive now in its
17th day, advices from the front
i said today.
FSeld Marshal Baron Carl Gus
tav Mannerheim, commander in
chief, has strengthened the new
Finnish line in all key sectors and
has formed a new reserve pool
of men in the Lake Ladoga area,
it was understood, and Finns ex
pressed confidence that the Rus
sians would be held.
Finnish reports insisted that
de.spite the persistence of the
Russian attack, actually the mo
mentum of the offensive had
been slowed and that a reorgan
ization of the Russian' supply
lines would be necessary before
a new attack in full fury could
be started.
Strategic Withdrawal
Since a strategic withdrawal to
second line positions Saturday,
made advisable by Russian pene
trations in the Summa and Lake
Muolaa region, the Finns were
understood to have put into their
lines'new iufafifry and artillery.
Even before the withdrawal the
Finns had been strengthening
their new line, building tank bar
riers and dugouts all the way
from the front to territory back
of Viipuri.
It was asserted that the Fin
nish line remained anchored on
Koivisto Island to the west, de
spite Russian claims to having
reached the coast north of the is
land.
A headquarters communique
asserted today that Russia had
lost 17 0 planes since February 1,
making a total of 412 since the
war started.
The government ordered that
all men of the army classes of
1897 to 1918 Inclusive who had
■been exempted from service by
reason of ill health or other rea
sons, must now report for medical
examination.
Issues Amnesty
President Kyosti Kallio issued
an amnesty for all prisoners serv
ing sentences of six months or
Ie.ss and conditional amnesty for
those serving sentences of be
tween six months and one year.
Indications were that the Fin
nish air force was now causing
the Russians some trouble by
raids behind the lines. New planes
have arrived, it was understood,
which are superior to those of
the Russians. Yesterday’s com
munique asserted that 24 Rus
sian planes had been, shot down
Saturday.
it was reported that the Rus-
sions had lost 1,800 killed in the
Kuhmo area of mid-Finland Sat
urday and that their main body
had been thrown back across the
frontier.
