The World
Whirls On
By JIM WOOLDBIDGE
A lot of things happened during
the two weeks that we were home
spending the Christmas holidays.
The world kept up her dizzy pace
by continuing her three wars and
adding a tew earthquakes and
storms on the side.

war went into
The
Its fifth week with both rations fighting more furiously than ever. The
Russians got nowhere in their campaign on the Karelian Isthmus in
the southern part of Finland so they
made an attack on Finland's middle
section. Striking at the point where
the Finnish territory is narrowest,
the Soviets succeeded in making a
drive deep into the Finn's "wasp
waist." In fact, the Reds nearly cut
Finland in two.
At this point, however, ih? Finnish forces rallied themselves and
began a counter-attac- k
which
checked the Russ'an advance completely. The next day a howling
blizzard began blowing toward the
Russian trenches, cutting the Reds
off from their source of supplies.
Instantly, the Finns ook this opportunity to advance. They advanced
hastily before the Russians could
nrpnnre themselves and thev drove
the invaders clear back to the bord- er.
of Montevideo
Down in South America, the
naval battle which took
place between the German battle- ship. Graf Siee. and the British
cruisers came to a dramatic con- elusion. You will remember that the
British cruisers drove the battle- ship into the harbor at Montevideo
after inflicting rather heavy dam- ages on the big ship. In the harbor,
the German ship made what re- pairs she was able to make, weighed
her anchor, painted her nose out to
sea, and got up steam. She didn't
go out to continue the fight, how- -

FRIDAY ISSUE

'In February Pope Pius XI died,
and shortly thereafter was succeeded by Pius XII, who took his seat
in the Vatican in March. Barcelona
was captured and the resistance of
the Loyalists broken. The Spanish
war came to an end after three
years of fighting.
Britain and
France recognized the new government and Spain started on a program of reconstruction.
Two World's Fairs
"Tl:e two world's fairs at San
Francisco and New York opened in
April and attracted crowds from all
over the country and from foreign
lands. The San Francisco fair was
considered a gem of beauty, and
that of New York particularly interesting in buildings and decorations, contrasting lights, arranged
in the modern vogue.
Aftermath of Munich Pact
"Under the deceptive agreements
made in the Munich pact the democracies in Europe took a long
breath of relief, but as the year went
on it was quite evident that the
Keich had no intention of keeping
these agreements, because Germany
showed the definite purpose of taking over Poland and of bringing the
Free City of Danzig back into the
German organization. In six short

weeks after the invasion of Poland
began Germany had subdued the
land, and Russia, for reasons that
are somewhat difficult to understand, was brought into the partition, and her troops gathered on the
border, and entered Poland. The
Soviet was given practically a half
of the country, namely the part that
belonged to Russia prior to the Versailles treaty. Meanwhile Germany
had modified her position in the
Baltic by agreements with Russia,
in consequence of which the Soviet
Republic had a firm footing on the
Baltic. Thus matters continued until in November when the discuss
ions between the Finns and Russians broke down, and the vigorous
land of the Finns led by determined
men, refused to accept the conditions set up by the Soviet and give
up the ports adjoining them.
Finns vs. Russians
"As the year comes to a close the
world is astonished at the weakness
of the
advance and surprised at the courage and resourcefulness of the Finnish defense and
the determination of that pecple to
drive the Russians out of it. But it
is evident to all that Russia, stung
by her defeat, will throw such considerable strength into the field that
Ru.-:sia- n

t

Finnland will be overwhelmed by
numbers. Until spring comes the
Finns will be able to hold out
against the Russians, but after that
help will be needed if the country
is not taken.
"On the Western Front war was
declared in September, when France
and Britain began fighting the Nazi
regime and all that it stands for.
This has not been definitely set
forth, and it is difficult to do so.
since it is a conflict of ideologies.
Instead of the expected bombing of
cities and the terrorization of peoples, the conflict has been called by
many newspaper reporters a war-lewar. It is quite evident that
the Allies learned from their experience in the last war that more
can be gained by cutting off German supplies than by fighting extended battles, and they fear the
consequences of any great slaughter
of soldiers in battle. Germany has
two and a half millions of men on
the Western Front and France and
Britain have fully as many more.
Meanwhile the embargo against
German goods has been in force,
and the blockade along the western
coast of Europe has been steadily
tightened.
Vessels flying the German flag have been seized and much
ss

German shipping lies idle. German
undersea craft have placed great
fields of mines in the North sea and
in the English channel, making it
difficult for the Allies to maneuver
their vessels.
Ships Torpedoed
'The figures for toipedoed vessels
amount to 908.534 tons of shipping.

More than
of this was

German.
In the unrestricted fighting of 1917 there
were 23.790 tons of shipping destroyed in one day, compared with
7.900 tons in the present year. The
Germans have lost a number of
merchant vessels, and the pocket
battleship. Graf Spee, was driven
into the harbor of Montevideo, and
later sunk by its commander off the
coast of Uruguay.
"Just recently the government of
Britain has ordered a reduction in
food consumption, which indicated
that some dent has been made by
the German efforts to restrict supplies to the British Isles.
"Iu our own country a great deal
of anxiety prevailed over the possibility of the nation being drawn
into war. It was felt by many that
the neutrality bill passed by the previous Congress was unsatisfactory.
