AN EDITORIAL
THE FINNS' JOB
A few an:o the Finns were re
ported as having- destroyed a whole Rus
sian division of 13,000 men.
In todav's papers the news comes thru
the little country this week wiped out
another Russian division, the 44th.
At this rate of putting- the Bolsheviks
out of business, the Finns have still a
rather stiff task ahead of them. Con
sidering- that the Russians will comb out
their population in the same draft pro
portions as the Finns are doing-, and
that the Finns smash them a division a
month—this is the present reputed
rate —it will require exactly 200 years
for Finland to win, as the Russians can
raise thirty millions of fig-hting men.
But will the world wait so long- to help
Finland?
As the Reporter has used white news
paper made in Finland for years—and. -
this issue is printed on it—we hope not. >

A companion law to combat
syphilis, also passed by the las',
