HELSINKI, Dec. 28 (Reuter) Arrivals from Tallin have an amasing story to tell of the puppet Government set up of the Soviets at Terijoki, which calls itself the "Finnish Peoples' Government," although it has few people to govern.
TOY ARMY
The puppet Government now got its own toy Army. Unfortunately, the Army has no uniform of its own and the Soviets are too busy fighting the Finns to be able to provide them with any.
The Museum was accordingly ransacked and the toy Army is now fitted out with military costumes of the early Eighteenth Century.
