w BOMBERS IN RAIDS
By Associated Press
Russian army headquarters re
ported yesterday that its troops
[ad occupied the town and fort
ress of Koivisto, western citadel
of the Mannerheim line, and had
“cleared’’ them of the enemy.
The Koivisto fortress fell after 12
weeks of hammering from Soviet
planes and artillery.
Taking of the fortress, key to
the end of the Mannerheim line,
was foreshadowed Monday when
Russian headquarters reported the
occupation of two islands off
Johannes, cutting off the Koivisto
region, and making it untenable.
The Russians also claim to have
shot down 47 Finnish airplanes
in yesterday’s air battles.
More than 800 Russian bombers
swept over much of Finland in a
fury of air raids yesterday. Seven
air raid alarms sounded in Hel
sinki alone. Two trains were re
ported bombed and machine gun
ned during the day.

MAN ABOUT TOWN
by Lou Koch
PASS THE SCOTCH—WE’LL HAVE TWO DOUBLES
Last Saturday’s New York Sun contains a special air mail dis
patch from London to the effect that Robert Spear Hudson, Eng
land’s Number One Salesman today, qnd son-in-law of the late P. S.
P. Randolph says:
“Every time an American has a Scotch and soda he is helping
American industry and helping us.
“For every dollar that is spent on Scotch whisky—and that’s
England’s largest export to the U. S. A.—goes to^ buy arms or air
planes. A bottle of claret or burgundy helps the’ French.”
If you should be resolutely opposed to supplying munitions to
the allies, you can give up Scotch and concentrate on rye or bourbon,
which will not help England, we suppose.
A couple of questions we have in mind are:
How would a yen for Irish whisky affect the situation and just
which side would that aid?
Or Italian wine?
Suppose you drink only tea ?
What’s the matter with buying American? Milwaukee and
i Brooklyn are good beer towns.
Vodka?
California claret or burgundy?
Kentucky stump corn ?
What’s,the matter with Canadian whisky?

HOTEL TO EXHIBIT
NOTABLE PORTRAIT
OF GEN. WASHINGTON
Guests of the Carolina will have
special cause to remember the
anniversary of the birth of Wash
ington on Thursday for a copy of
a portrait of General Washington,,
painted from life by a Flemish
artist, in Philadelphia, is to be
hung in the hotel.
The copy was made by the Pine
hurst artist, H. Bingham Ballou,
for S. Y. Ramage, owner of the
portrait, so that if anything hap
pened to the original, it might be
preserved.
The marvelous' coloring of the
blue and yellow of the uniform
and, in fact, the whole portrait
in the opinion of competent critics
gives it high rank in comparison
with the work of such noted artists
as Gilbert Stuart, Peale and others
who so frequently painted Gen
eral Washington.
Mr. Ballou has made a faithful
and excellent copy which has
been loaned, at the request of the
hotel, for exhibition on Wesh
ington’s birthday.
The name of the Flemish artist
has been obliterated by the wear
and tear of time. The original
was purchased by the late Lieut
enant Alfred Hull Ramage from
an art dealer in the city of St.
Louis, twenty years ago. It is
now in the collectiop of Mr. Ram
age.
