London, Nov. 28. ? Prime Min
ister Chamberlain told the first
war session of Parliament today
that Britain did not enter the con
flict against Germany "with any
vindictive purpose" and disclaim
ed any Intention of Imposing upon
the foe "a vindictive peace."
The Prime Minister spoke after

with a speech assuring the British ,
Empire that the Royal Navy was |
keeping "free and open the high
ways of the sea" despite moun'.
ing lossefto British shipping.
Chamberlain declared the Bri

ferred to permit neutrals to make

The latest British loss at sea,
meanwhile was the 2,483-ton stea

Berlin, Nov. 28. ? A young Nazi
commander who took his U-boat ,
into Scapa Flow and sank the
British battleship Royal Oak 011
October 14, has torpedoed and
"destroyed" a 10,000-ton cruiser
with an estimated loss of TOO

Helsinki. Wednesday, Nov. 2!>.
-Finnish leaders feared early to
day that Soviet Russia may at
tempt to seize four undefended
islands in the (Julf of Finland fol- 1
lowing her denunciation of the
Soviet-Finnish pact of non-uppres
sion and gunfire along the north
ern frontier.
The Finnish military district in
the far north reported that a Fin- 1
nisli patrol exchanged fire yester
day with "unknown persons" near
the village of Puumangi oil a
small peninsula and that three
Finnish soldiers were missing.
Invasion Denied
The clash was believed to have
been the one announced by the
Soviet government last night, in
which three Finnish soldiers were :
said to have been captured after
a Finnish attack on Red Army
patrol along the frontier between
the RybacliJ and Srednl penin
sulas.
A government statement denied
Russia's assertion that Finnish
troops' had crossed the Carellan
Isthmus frontier yesterday and
fired on Russian troops.
Military reports from the Care
llan isthmus frontier, 20 miles
north of Leningrad, failed to con
firm Soviet reports of a clash
there.
It was reported without official
confirmation that Finnish troops
have fallen back an average of one
kilometer (six-tenths of a mile)
from the Carelian border.
Russia's denunciation of the
1932 pact of non-appression was
answered last night by a state
ment of a government spokesman
that "Finland cannot be intimid
ated."
Answer Drafted
The cabinet of Premier Almo
Cajander met until midnight,
studying the acute situation and
drafting an answer to Russia's
denunciation of the treaty, which
contained an angry accusation
that Finland Is guilty of "hosti
lity" and desires to menace Len
ingrad.
It was said the New Finnish
note would be delivered to Moscow
sometime' today.
Strict orders went out to all
Finnish forces along the frontiers
to avoid being drawn Into any
"Incidents" but to defend to the
limit Finnish territory.
Experience has taught Sam
Owens of the Gloucester
nity In Transylvania County that
good stands of clover on his farm
cannot toe obtained without nn
adequate program of liming the
soil.
Outlook reports of the U. 8.
Bureaus of Home Economics and
Agricultural Economics indicate
that farm families will have high
er net incomes in 1940 than In
