GERMANS ARE AGGRESSIVE
 IN NORTH RUSS WATERS

Germany shows signs of continuing her aggressive moves in northern Russian waters. Following upon advices that German troops had landed on the Alard Islands, off the Gulf of Bothnia. between Finland and Sweden, came report from Stockholm that German forces had en- tered Helslngfors, capital of Finland. This move is considered as probably hav- ing both political and military objects. the former in taking advantage of Fin nish discontent and desire for independ- ence from Russia and the latter in the threat that Is presented of interference with communications with Russia from the west through Finland and Sweden.
