The areas served by these bases two-decades ago will have to be patrolled now by fleets based considerably farther away, with attending disadvantages.

BALTIC ISLANDS

KEY WAR POINT

Alands, Now Finland's, May Become | New Trouble Spot in Europe. |

By Science Service | WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. — The Aland Islands, n bie 1 by some forecasters as a possible European trouble spot, is tne, Gibraltar of thé

Baltic. Long a bone of contention among neighboring cou tries, the Alands rise out of the sea 15 miles west of Finland and 25 miles east of Sweden. Incidentally, the name Aland is pronpunced either Oh-land or Au-land. Now a part of independent Finland, the islands in the past have been shifted,| along with Finland, from Swedish|/to Russian rule. When Finland gained| independence in 1917, an Aland Island situation arose, due to the majority of the islanders being of Swedish descent and voting to secede and go with Sweden rather {than remain | with Finland. It tpok the League of Nations Council and a special commission to smooth out the tension and establish the ben v as part of Fin-

land, giving them virtually autonomous governmen Highly desirable as a military base, the islands have remained unfortified except for one brief interlude in their| history. The League of Nations convention in 1921, which gave them their present status, forbade militarization. With Russia and Germany | both interested in dominating the Baltic, point of interest.

Harbors of the| islands offer excellent bases and | hiding places for submarines, another factor that makes the Alands a prize in the eyes of ‘more| than .one nation.

War May Cause Civilians To Try Styles in Armor

Science Service NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Wearing armor, like that of the knights old, only proof against modern lets and shell fragments, is likely come into fashion again, even mong the civil population, Pradieis Stephen V. Grancsay, curator of s and armor in the Metropolin Museum of Art here. Armored men already have been aving been seen rebed wire in front of entrenchments on the Western Fro gE. . “Armor wearing is not ideal,” Mr. “However, a soldier

Armor has never been entirely abandoned. During the World War, some of the [German machinegunners were equipped with breastplates. The heavy French cavalry had only ‘just abandoned the wearing of their shining steel cuirasses, which were! counted on to turn swords and lances in a charge, although it was known they would not stop bullets. And the wearing of bullet-proof vests, which are armor even if not made of metal, is a commonplace among dictators, gangsters and other men who have reason fo fear attempts at assassination.
