Rice But are Routed Police at the Kashing Road Station were called to a rice shop at 225 Wuchow Road at 9 o'clock yesterday morning to quell a disturbance caused by about ten Chinese of the beggar type who were trying to snatch small quantities of rice. Order was quickly restored, and no arrests were made.
Rome, Feb. 20.
The "Osservatore Romano" yesterday predicted that Finland would be defeated by Russia because of the Soviets overwhelming numerical superiority. The newspaper made the statement in a front page editorial on the Russo-Finnish war. It praised the courage of the Finns but forecast their defeat. The neutrals, the editorial said, feared reprisals and therefore, were not aiding the Finns.—United Press.
