SOVIET REFUSES SWEDISH MEDIATION OFFER
By the Associated Press
The Russian Government charged last night that the “so-called
government’ of Finland already had abandoned its capital, and re
fused Swedish efforts to mediate the conflict.
A communique of the Soviet News agency said that Premier
MolotofT had explained to the Swedish minister that the Soviet gov
ernment does not recognize the “so-called government of Finland
which has already left Helsinki, and therefore there now can be no
question of any negotiations with this government"
Molotoff added that Russia recognized the “People’s" govern
ment which Russia has proclaimed was born at Terijoki, on Fin
nish territory, as the only government of Finland.
On the Karelian Isthmus, north of Leningrad, a Soviet an
nouncement said the Red Army had thrust from 28 to 31 miles into
Finnish territory from the borderline.
North of Lake Madoga, it added, the Red troops drove along
the shore and occupied the town of Falmi, 13 miles over the fron
tier, and the railway station of Laimola, 44 miles north of Falmi.
HELSINKI CLAIMS NEW SUCCESSES, GIRDS ITSELF
At Helsinki, fighting Finland last night claimed new successes
against Soviet invaders and steeled itself for new and more vigorous
assaults expected — by land, sea and air.
As night fell without further air raids on Helsinki, a govern
ment spokesman announced that in the eastern section north of
Lake Ladoga, the Finns had captured 1,500 Russian troops.
In the north, reports reaching Kirkenes, Norway, said 20,000
first-line well equipped troops stood off a Russian attack on the
Arctic region of Petsamo.
MET NOT SENDING DELEGATE TO PARLEY
In Moscow Sovjet Russia today declared that it would not be
possible to take part in the League of Nations meeting called for
next Saturday and Monday to consider a Finnish protest at the Rus
sian invasion.
“The Soviet Union is not in a state of war with Finland and does
not threaten the Finnish people with war,” Premier Molotoff told
the secretary of the League in a cablegram.

PINEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 L.. D^DI
by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Golf players on the links of Crail Golfing Society’s course wit
nessed a sky battle in which two British planes brought down a
German bomber. From the St. Andrews Citizen, The Outlook pre
sents the following account of this incident:
“One of the German raiders was brought down in the sea. The
thrilling aerial battle was witnessed by several golfers who had ta
ken advantage of the fine afternoon to have a round on the Crail
Golfing Society’s course.
“Mr. J. M’Naughton, the greenskeeper at the Balcomie course,
was working near the beach when he heard the machines overhead.
‘They were flying very low, and I saw that one of them was a bigj
black machine, which I quickly realized was a German bonlber. The
other two were obviously British fighters, and they were pursuing'
the bomber. We could hear'quite distinctly the sound of machine-:
gun fire. !
“ ‘The bomber dodged about over the water trying to escape
from the pursuit ’planes, but the latter hung grimly on to the bomb
er’s tail, and suddenly we saw the raider turn sharply round. There
was a cloud of smoke and it dropped ilke a stone into the sea. With
in a few moments it had disappeared below the surface of the wa
ter, One of the fighters hovered over the spot, while the other made
off in the direction of the Firth of Forth.’ ”

Forum Will Revive
Old Time Discussions
Many questions have been
asked around the village concern
ing the forthcoming Forum Ser
ies , which will be held during
the season under the direction
of Miss Mildred Mason, and
which will be formally opened on
Thursday evening with Mr. John
Temple Graves II, as the speak,
er.
According to Miss Mason, the
terip .Forum Series has been used
in order to revive the spirit of
the former Pinehurst Forums
whicll terminated some years
ago. 5 It does not mean exclusive
ly a group of lectures, but means
rather to imply the market place
atmosphere of Rome, where the
forum was a place of popular
assembly in which orators were
heard, scholars debated, ques
tions were discussed by all, and
entertainments were presented.
It is with this broader, view in
mind that the series will be pre
sented.
In order to make the series
a real expression of the vox pop
uli, so to speak, a small ques
tionnaire will be presented to
those attending Thursday even
ing, for the purpose of determ
ining what events and speakers
are most desired throughout the
village.
SAM HAS A DETOUR
Sam, the Carolina Hotel
doorman was BUsy re-routing
traffic at his desk, one of the
busiest spots in Pinehurst,
yesterday, because a fresh
.coat of paint was put on the
door nearest his desk. All go
ing and coming traffic was of
necessity forced to use the
other door. The paint will un
doubtedly be dry by the time
you read this paper, and busi
ness will be back to normal.
But by now it’s the other door
getting a coat of paint.
Noted Character Analyst, Here
on Visit, Believes 1940 Will be
Best Financial Year for U. S.
Since 1925
DEWEY VS ROOSEVELT
Adolf Hitler will be overthrown
some time during April or May~
of 1940. Joseph Stalin seems to^
be treading to a great extent the
same path as Hitler, and will re
gret before very, long his invas- ,
ion of Finland. (The year 1940'
should prove to be the best fin
ancial year in America since:
1925. The next presidential race:
will be between Roosevelt and
Dewey.
These predictions were made
in Pinehurst yesterday by Pro
fessor Edward Douglas, nation
ally known astrologer, and char
acter analyst, who recently ter
minated a successful summer
tour in Virginia Beach, and is
now- on his way to - Florida - for •
the winter season. Many prog
nostications made in the past few
years by Douglas turned out so
uncannily accurate that his re
marks during his Pinehurst visit
are being viewed with interest.
“What Germany wants and
what Hitler wants are two wide
ly different things, and neither
one will be attained,” he says.
“However,\ we can 16ok forward
to some startling developments
with regard to Hitler during
April or May of the Coming year,
and it is my prediction that Hit
ler at that time will be over
thrown. We make our own des-#

STOCK MARKET ?
NEW YORK, Dec. 4—(A>)—The
Stock Market today started the
week with a “tired out” appear
ance and most leaders failed to
work up much rising vigor dur
ing the sleepy proceedings.
Some improvements came in at :

managed to hold on to modest ad
vances. Closing q u o t a t i o n s,
though, generally lacked a defin
