Thursday, Nov. 16. ? Soviet Russia today made the sharpest press attack yet upou Finland, accusing Finnish ruling circles of fostering an "anti Soviet policy." The attack, in the form of a dispatch by Tass, official Soviet j news agency, from Helsinki, Fin nish capital, was almost as bitter as the press campaign which pre ceded the Russian march Into . Poland last September 17. The dispatch, distributed for publication in this morning's newspapers, hajed its tirade against the Finnish government upon what it said- was confiscation i of an issue of the magazine Soichtu. The magazine has printed., articles friendly to the Russian i government. Tass charged that the Flnufith army and press were instructed to "hate Russians"; that teaching iu the schools was conducted along the same lines, and that "the leaders of the anti-Soviet campaign of lies are the most re actionary el?ments who are dreaming of spreading the bound aries ol' Finland all the way to j the Urals (in Russia)." "The ICnglish bourgeoisie has ' supported (his anti-Soviet at titude," the dispatch added. Denying that Russia hud pcesrM ented "impossible demands" (o the Finns in the recent uegotia-; lions that were suspended by Fin-; land, the dispatch said the Fln-; utah government was trying to mislead world public opinion jy falsely declaring it wanted an agreement with Moscow. But "wide masses of the popu-i latlou are striving to establish friendly relations with the Soviet ' Union." Tass declared. Foreign observers agreed that the -Tass Dispatch was another threat in the Soviet campaign toj force the Finns into an agree ment in a short time, or else wis a prelude to direct action. The long-drawn negotiations with Finland began October 7 af ter Russia had obtained from Estonia. Latvia and Lithuania the right to establish considerable military, naval and air forces in the north Baltic. Moscow has de manded a readjustment of fron tiers near Leningrad, and naval bases in north Finland and nt the mouth of the Oulf of Finland. TOURNAMENT The Jos. J. Davis Chapter U.

Battling Halts On West Front Rain and Fog Hold Sway as! Observers Make Guesses i As To German Plans Paris. Nov. 15.- -The war ?n I the Western Front huggi-d down loday in heavy rains: and delist1 ' fogs. Except for patrol action in "No Man's I/iind" and occassional spurts of intensive reconnaissance flights, a (lead calm prevailed. Patrol action was reported east j ;ind west of the Saar rivor, north east of the fortress town of Bitclie : and on the outer limits of the Vos-I ges sector; The 146th French war com munique today reported "clashes . of patrols, and local artillery ac- ' tion." In the absence of actual fig'it ing, official circles turned to ; speculation as to Germany's next step. The French persist in thej belief that last week's exteuslve j reconnaissance flights in France were related to heavy troop con centrations within striking dls tance of the Dutch border. Military commentators reported that Germany Is fully prepared to strike from the North Sea to ' Switzerland. A simultaneous of- 1 fenslve along the entire Western Front could be ordered, it was said, or Individual attacks under taken against The Netherlands, Belgium, France or Switzerland. Other observers professed to see three possible alternatives for the Germans. An invasion of the low countries, an attack 011 the French fortifications or direct ac tion against England. Invasion of Belgium or The Netherlands at present was con sidered unlikely because of the world-wide resentment stirred I y the mere rumor of such a threat. The military analyst of the semi-official Le Temps discussed the possibility of German forces crossifig the Rhine to challenge the French fortifications. Such a maneuver was within the realm of probability, he believed, provided the French were taken by sur prise. 1 lie anaiysi rtjpunea iiibl kiv Germans already have construct- 1 ed big flat boats capable of trans- ; porting not only men, but a four Inch gun or tank. Protected by Hame-throwers, heavy artillery and perhaps gas, the Oermans might succeed In landing parties on French territory, he said, but he believed they could be repuls ed easily and driven hack across the river.

Greyhound lines and also to op erate from Raleigh by Louisbur*; and Warrenton to Roanoke Rap ids by the Carolina Coach Co. It is understood the Greyhound Lines propose the extension of iU present route to Louisburg on ti> Raleigh over Route 59. The Carolina Coach Co., it is understood, contemplates putting Louisburg and Warrenton and all the territory betweeu these point* on a main line by operating their main through buses on this new route giving at the beginning three bus trips dally each jray, connecting at Roanoke Kapide tor Norfolk and Richmond and point* North, and at Raleigh for points East, South and Westv In support of the better an. I larger schedule the Boards of Town and County Commissioners of Louisburg and Franklin Coun ty at their regular monthly meet ing adopted resolutions request ing that the Utilities Commission grant the franchise to the Caro lina Coach Co. Both resolutions were so similar we are copping only the one adopted by the Town, the County's resolution contained all the points included herewith. Tito resolution follows: WHEREAS, the Board of Town Commissioners of Louisburg, N. C. have been informed that the Carolina Coach Company of Ral eigh.

Tor the public convenience and necessity for the operation of passenger buses from Kaleigh through Louisburg to Warrenton and on to Roanoke Rapids ami other points; and WHEREAS, it appears that tho granting of this application would place the Town of Louisburg and vicinity on a main line of ?th? Carolina Coach Company, and would give the people of this sec tion a direct service from Raleigh to Louisburg to Warrenton t > Roanoke Rapids, and other points f over a nearer and more conveu- i lent route and will furnish bus I service to many communities that | do nut have any such services; and j. WHKUEAS, such bus service ii I most urgently needed by the trmv- J ellng public and the people along said proposed bus route, and would be highly beneficial to the citizenship of this section of North Carolina; and WHEREAS, it further appear* the said Carolina Coach Company is seeking permission to operato said route from the County Sent of Wake County through tho County Seats of Franklin, Warren and Northampton and other conn ties, and that the County Seats ot Warreu and Northampton coun ties have no bus strvice whatso ever; and WHEREAS, it appear* to thi? Board that the grantlug of the.ie applications for bns route, Caro lina Coach Company i\ould very materially improve public trans portation facilities in Eastern North Carolina, and will afford to the people generally a service that it very much needs at this time; and WHEREAS, it appears to be to the best interest ot the public to , have such additional transpM-ta tion facilities afforded to the peo ple of this section of North Car- , olina: ? NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1.
