HE COULDN'T. FIND RED INK!
SHANGHAI, Feb. 14 (Reuler),—A Russian lying in Shanghai recently took out Boviet papers and returned to the U.S. S. R.
Before leaving, he told his friends that if his first letter was written with blue ink, everything he said would be true. If, however, he used red ink, the conditions he rescribed would be exactly the opposite to actual facts..
In due course a letter arrived. It was written in blue: "Life in Russia Is wonderful. I have found a com- fortable

SPECIAL TO THE "TELCORAPH" HELSINGFORS, Feb. 12 (UP)- For the first time in many days the Russians did not open up their night bombardment on Viborg to-night with their 25-mile range guns
They bombarded Viborg only with two series of twenty shells each which resulted in the death of one
person.
The extent of the damage is not known, but it is noteworthy that the range of the guns precludes a large charge of explosives.
Soviet planes raided Viborg at D p.m. yesterday and there were two air raid alarma, one at noon and another at mid-night to-day.
There has been no bombing or long range shelling up to darkness to-day.
