Prison Sentence To Stand

Russians and Trees- Look Alike

By RALPH HEWINS, Daily Mail War Correspondent in Flaland

On the Salla Front. EARLY this morning I crept through the eeric Finnish forest with a ski patrol and reconnoitred the Russian lines only 400 yards away.

For hours we picked our way among the trees. No one spoke. At every step the Russian guns might crash out. I almost wished they had. The strain of listening and watching in that great stillness hurt. But not a shot was fired.

This is the ghostly work the Finns must do every night. A hundred times forest growths appeared to me to take human Good shape. Were they hiding Russians? No-only trees. norves are needed on these patrols,

We had our orders. Watch for any Russian move.

If pos sible cut off any of the enemy daring to venture too far afield; surprise sentrica chilled by the cold; capture prisoners for ques- tioning; break field phones; damage commissariat and equip- ment. But we must not provoke a pitched fight.

WAR AND PEACE

Soviet airmen have received strict orders to attack only military objectives, says Moscow. This picture (on the left) shows the ruins of a building in Viborg after bombardment by Soviet planes. Below, a picture of Viborg in peace time.
