Finnish sources published in the

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

The Finnish communication as

Seattle, Nor. 6. "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.
