The Copenhagen, Oct. 10 (Correspon dence of the -Associated Press) Fin land became a monarchy Instead of republic solely because the Finns yielded to German domination ac cording to a communication from Finnish sources published in the Benin vorwaerts. 'ins correspon dent asserts that up to April, last the Finnish teaders were determined to organise a republic but In May the government withdrew the - measure tor it organization and adrocated a monarchy, giving as its reason the fact that Germany desired It. The Vorwaerts asserts that al though- the German government pre tended to be neutral on thla question. the political section of the German general staff supported a monarchy in .Finland. In reality we were not free," writes the Finnish correspondent, "Germany troops were quartered throughout Finland and warships lay in Helslngfors harbor., The Flnalea foreign minister announced In the Finland Diet in July that the Ger man government wanted a monarch ist government in Finland.- The Finnish communication as serts that some of the Finns refuse to recognize a German'' prince as a King oi Finland. v The Vorwaerts predicts ' that time will come when the.' German rulers of the new Baltic countries 111, he packed off home bag and baggage. It asserts that the German people hare been kept' in Ignorance of the developments In Finland and that, this haa created a dangerous poaltton for Germany In the east. COMPLETE RETURNS .SHOW He NAB?

"Sure they're blond Eskimos,' They are ahorgines living up In ,the white Arctio on Vic toria (Land in their primeval, state absolutely untouched by the outside world's civilisation. They are com pletely out. ot contact, with, erery- thlng and, consequently, hare none ot our Improvements and ,aleo . none of our erlls." W, J. Bower, known, along the Arctio coast as "Lerl" , Bower, one ot the rery few men. who. hare gone from the outside Into Jhe, far nothern almost fabled land of the ."blond Es kimos" thus described them when he waa here recently. ' 'And I don't think It was Stefans son wno first rouna tnem." oower asserted. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, returned Canadian Arctic explorer, who has been credited with discov ering the strange tribe, agrees with Bower that he did not find them first Bower claimed the "blond Eski mos" are really blond. Stefansson does not go that far but says they have light gray, almost blue eyes and a few have light hair and eye brows. Bower pointed out that the "blond" natives have round full eyes while the other Eskimos ot the tar north have the slant eyes of Asiatics. "It looks as If the 'blond Eski mos' come from early Oreenlanders, or Scandinavian stock ot some kind," Bower said. "I know they are not halt white and half Eskimo because the half breed Eskimoa have black eyes and black hair. These white ones hare light eyes and light skin and hair. The old men ot the tribe hare the same white features as the young. "Bowa and arrowa are used by 1 them, they know, nothing about to- bacco and liquor, . they make their tlrea with a sort of flint, they dress in skins,, they spear their, reindeer ' and club their fish, they wont eat '' outsider's food and they apaak a language similar to that ot . the Eski- . mo. ... - , "They are hospitable, friendly, and square,, too square, I think. If. you gire them anything they are not sat isfied until, they, gire you something in return. I gave one woman v an empty baking powder tin and she lm- mediately -brought me a big skin. We left a gun with them, in- ; stead ot using it to kill meat, the men seemed to think it wag a play thing tor when I left they were shoot ing their bullets away at targets and wildly Into the air. When they ran out ot ammunition they probably turned the gun around and got some real use out of It as a club." Bower said he thought there were over 250 "blond Eskimos" on vic toria Land., It Is not very probable that they will ever be molested much by the outside world for Victoria Land is tar off the usual run ot tra ders and whalers go Into the Arctic no longer. Sower has served on whaling ves sels in many parts ot the. north, and until his recent return to the states, had not been out ot the Arctio for Are years. On Stetansson's last trip he was steward on the schooner Po lar Bear which Stefansson used for a time. Stefansson took Bower into the "blond Eskimo" country. 1
