1,000 Youngsters
Applaud Knee-Hi
In Alexandria
•
Traffic Demonstration
Conducted at Busy
Intersection
One thousand cheering young
sters from Washington and Lee
public schools and St. Mary's Paro
chial School gave Knee-Hi a rousing
reception as the safety dog spon
sored by The Star staged a demon
stration in Alexandria yesterday
afternoon.
Under the guidance of Dr. George
E. Brunson, who taught her the
simple rules of traffic safety, the
little wire-haired terrier illustrated
the precautions which safeguard
against accidents on streets and
highways.
Knee-Hi demonstrated that streets
should be crossed only at intersec
tions, that all traffic regulations
should be rigidly observed, that
children should not play in the
streets, should never try to cross a
street in the face of oncoming
vehicles, should not play around
automobiles and should stop, look
and listen before crossing thorough
fares.
Performs at Busy Corner.
The demonstration was conducted
at Washington and Queen streets,
one of the busiest intersections in
the Virginia city, with Jack H. Dal
ton, chief assistant to Dr. Brunson,
explaining the various phases of the
demonstration with the aid of a
public amplifying system.
Police Chief John S. Arnold,
Supt. of Public Schools T. C. Wil
liams and Fire Chief James M.
Duncan co-operated in putting on
the demonstration, the second in
which The Star has presented Knee
Hi \in nearby Virginia. The first
was staged Monday at James Mon
roe School in Arlington County.
Photographs Available.
Previously the little terrier had
staged demonstrations for school
children in Washington and nearby
Maryland. Yesterday’s demonstra
tion was her 797th in three years
and her audience ran to more than
2.000.000, the number of school chil
dren before whom Knee-Hi has per
formed. Mr. Dalton announced.
Mr. Dalton informed the Virginia
pupils that photographs of the little
dog may be obtained by writing
Knee-Hi, in care of The Star. Rules
for traffic safety are printed below
the dog's picture.

Stalin Rule Doomed
By Death of 'Front/
Says Kerensky
World Dictatorship Aim
Of Communists Forced
Into Open, Meeting Told
By the Associated Pres*.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Breakdown
of the popular front In the United
States, Great Britain, Prance and
Spain, together with the invasion of
Finland, has doomed the Stalinist
dictatorship, in the opinion of Alex
ander Kerensky, former Russian
Premier.
Kerensky, who released Josef Sta
lin from exile in Siberia in 1917
when Stalin was “just another
name," spoke at a mass meeting
last night under auspices of the
Democratic Federation in protest
against the Red invasion of Finland.
He and Oscar Tokoi, first Premier
of Finland after the fall of the
Czarist regime, were principal speak
ers, Tokoi predicting that should
the Soviet finally establish a puppet
government in Finland, similar gov
ernments would follow in Denmark,
Norway and Sweden.
Kerensky said the fall of the popu
lar front in the four countries had
forced into the open Stalin's fight
for a world Communist dictatorship
and that this was aiding in what
seemed nis defeat.
Hostility (or Russians Assailed.
As leader of an anti-Bolshevist
movement among Russian "demo
crats' which has had headquarters
in Paris for the past 14 years, Ker
ensky said that "the shameful, bar
baric action of Stalin has aroused
unjustified hostility against the Rus
sian people abroad.”
"I strongly protest against this
unfair confusion of Russia and the
Russian people with the Bolshevist
dictatorship,” he said. “For more
than 22 years the people of Russia
have been struggling against this
dictatorship of terror without re
ceiving even moral support from the
free outside world.”
Kerensky said that “if the Russian
people are freed by the war that
Stalin has provoked they will con
sider it their duty to compensate
the Finnish people for their suffer
ing and to help also to restore a free
Poland."
Democratic Russia Necessary.
He said an “amicable under
standing” on frontier revisions with
Finland could be achieved “only
with a democratic Russia which
would not inspire fear and dis
trust.”
In an interview later he said he
meant the restoration of “an eth
nological Poland which would leave
the city of Lwow and sections of
Eastern Galicia that are "purely
Russian” under Russian rule.
He said Carpatho-Russia, now part
of Hungary, “is a little reservation
where 600.000 Russians have pre
served their orthodox religion and
the purest Russian language for
1,000 years. Its restoration is his
torically inevitable.”

sian undersea craft. There was no
positive identification.
The captain, second officer and
radio operator were killed when the
submarine fired 15 shells into the
vessel.
Lloyd’s Register lists a German
freighter Bolheim, 3,324 gross tons,
engaged in ore trade between North
ern Africa and the Netherlands
before the European war.
A Reuters, British news agency,
dispatch said the freighter was en
route from Bjomeborz, Finland, to
Germany, carrying 500 tons of wood
pulp.
Red Drive Reported
Within Arctic Circle
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 13 OP).—Half
a million troops of the 9th Soviet
Russian Army were reported concen
trating their attack on the Tornio
Rovaniemi Railway just north of the
Arctic Circle yesterday and endan
gering Finnish communications.
The correspondent of the news
paper Dagens Nyheter, who was not
permitted to locate Finnish head
quarters or give a clear extent of
the Russian advance, said hard
fighting had taken place along a
15-mile front in the last 40 hours.
The battle had swirled about the
village of Kohmo, he said.
The Red Army, driving in this
sector across the frozen steppes to
cut Finland in two, already has re
ported the capture of Salla, 40 miles
from the Russian border and ap
proximately one-fifth the distance
to the Swedish frontier.
Their objective apparently is
Rovanlemi, important communica
tions center on the Kemijoki River,
and the Tomio Valley along the
Swedish-Finnish border.
