The viewpoint was changed later, as reflected in the report of the British Press association which said that Finland has “it is feared, fallen victim to yet another instance of brutal aggression by a great power upon a small but wonderfully • courageous state.” “I’se got a new job, so I cain’t do yo’ washin’ no mo’.” “What is it, Mandy?” “My new job is that I cain’t work. I’se on relief." Teacher—“My father had mon ey is in the past tense. Now, if I said My father has money, what would that be?” Bright Boy—“Pretense.” Passes Rev. R. P.

In an admonitory note to the Danubian and Balkan countries, the newspaper said: “Southeastern European states have learned a valuable lesson and have preserved a sensible and profitable neutrality.” It was asserted that Russia had assumed the leading role “which was its due” in the “entire Euro pean east from Murmansk to the Black Sea.” “England’s attempt at a flank attack against Germany has failed,” the newspaper continued, “and she has been thrown back from east Europe to her island, and from this vulnerable position she must now face further de velopments in a decisive struggle.” An authorized Nazi spokesman said that the peace treaty was “a victory for common sense.” “The terms bear a fair relation to sacrifices and also a fair rela tion to the need of a great state within its living room (Leben sraum),” the spokesman said. He added that Germany never had sought to extend its influence to Finland but that from the be ginning of the Russo-Finnish war Germany had “detected a French and British hand trying to extend the western conflict.” The effort, he said, had now been shattered because the Finns were “not as shortsighted as the Poles.” Funeral Is Held For J.

SOLDIERS ARE PRAISED Leaders Tell People Nation Was Not Prepared to Con tinue Fight NATION IS SORROWFUL Helsinki, Finland, March 13— Giant Russia and little Finland formally ended their unequal 3 ^-month war today and For eign Minister V. A. Tanner in a poignant radio speech to the mourning nation said that Fin land had had no choice. The end came here at the World War armistice hour at 11 am. The smoking guns of the Mannerheim line ceased fire, and the ski patrols in the far north were called in. “All war-like operations ceased at 11 am, Finnish time,” said the official announcement. This was the hour set in the treaty signed at Moscow at 2:30 a. m. Moscow time. It was announced also to the Finnish people that the treaty, which put Russia back to the frontiers of Peter the Great’s time in the early 18th century, had been signed. An hour later Tanner made the first of a series of speeches by national leaders—bitter, sor rowful but resolute speeches—to tell the nation why a humiliating peace had been made for them. “We were not prepared because we had believed in treaties,” Tanner said. . . There was a lack of all sort of equipment, and a noticeable shortage of certain special important arms . . . We had not got guarantees from other quarters . . . Our army did well and fought with all its might, and it did well beyond all expectations. I will not use the commonplace word, heroes. I will say they fought like men. We had many great victories and only on the main frontier were we forced to withdraw some what . . . “But we are a small people. The same men had to fight all the time and it was inevitable that they became tired . . . “We asked for help from Swe den ... its neutrality policy did not permit it, which rendered the position still more difficult.” Both the cabinet and Parlia ment had met during the morn ing. The cabinet approved Tan ner’s speech and Parliament con sidered the ratification of the treaty.
