All through Christmas day the
planes had bombed the city, and
all through the night the shells
crashed down, adding new ruins

Following is an earlier dispatch
telephoned by Miller from Viipuri
to the United Press bureau at
Copenhagen in the early hours of
this morning
As telephone this dispatch to
Copenhagen, no end of the bonn
bardment is in sight.
REPORT VICTORIES
But out on the fighting lines,
the Firms say they are winning
new victories. They say that now,
following up Russian retreat, they
have cut their way across the
frontier north of Lake Ladoga to
take the war, for the first time,
onto Russian soil, and to threaten
the ACCOMPLISHMENTS railroad
which is the vital artery Of supply
to the Russian Far North army.
Three Russian tanks have beer
destroyed, two field guns captured
and two companies Of Russian in.

Finnish coastal batteries hav,
shelled the Russian $4,000 ton bat

fighting would continue on Christ

makes of such days was bes
shown here. A few weeks ag,
Viipuri was a busting, prosperou

building shook. Two wooden build
ings caught fire a little after mid
night this morning.
Firemen were trying to put out
the flames, when another shell
struck within so feet. The fire.
men threw themselves on the
ground, came up unscathed, and
put out the fire before it could
spread.
Two more shells struck near by
just as my telephone call, on which
I am telephoning this dispatch to
Copenhagen, came through.
"AT OUR OWN RISK"
Copenhagen reported that dur
ing the call from Miller the line
was interrupted several times. and
that once there was a sound like a
high shrieking wind, with an &C
compartment of splintering wood)
We are being permitted to go to
bed by our conducting officer, "at
our own risk" with flashlights
beside our beds and our clothing
arranged carefully for quick dress
ing.
The Firms hope this new bom-
bardment will not last long. They
believe that by triangulation, trac-
ing the gun positions from various
angles, they can locate the bat
teries and deal with them at the
front by means of field guns OF
their own bombing planes.

policemen, the streets were desert
ed. The gas and water were cut
off at our hotel and the only food
was bread with butter.
CROWS ARE SCARED
Bombs, that smashed down with
detonations that made one think
Of an earthquake, were inter-
spersed with incendiary bombs
which started fires in wooden
buildings. At each explosion hun
dreds Of crows would rise from
the snow covered streets and
housetops.
Puffs of smoke from anti-air-
craft gun shells popped around the
shimmering planes. The air
throbbed with the drone Of the
motors. Now and then We would
see a bomber head inland. The
planes seemed to come from across
the Gulf of Finland and to return
that way.
Russia now has an air base In
Esthonia, across the gulf from
Finland)
DUCK FRAGMENTS
Just after lunch time-there
had been no lunch-six planes
bombed the city heavily. From a
high balcony of our hotel, ducking
inside frequently as chunks of
shell fragment clattered on nearby
roofs. we saw huge jets of fire and
smoke, and pieces of building,
shoot up In the city outskirts q
few hundred yards away.
Then there was great column
OF black smoke. Hurrying out,
we found three homes in the
workers quarter burning fiercely
The poor possessions of the FAM
lilies that had lived in them lit
tered the snowy street. Eight oil
10 other residences were more oil
less smashed. Windows of many
others were broken.
No damage Of military import
ance was done. An arm Of one
65-year-old woman was torn off
and a few other civilians wer'
wounded. Blood spattered thu
snow. Twenty-Five bombs dropped
in this neighborhood. left gaping
craters in the frozen earth.
PLANES SOUGHT
When the first Big Berth'
shells came over last night peopl
thought they were from bomb
which gliding planes had dropped
and that the planes had not beef
detected because their motors wer
idle. Then it was suggested tina
the bombardment came from Rus
sian warships in the gulf.
But examination of "dud" shell
which had not exploded, soon toll,
experts that they were fired from
guns built on the principle of tina
with which the Germans shelle
Paris from u miles away in III
World war. These shells are fire
on a high trajectory. They go fiv
or six miles into the air.
At TAO o'clock Christmas nigh
the Big Bertha bombardmer
started again.
FTREMEN ON JOB
They began coming over two c
three simultaneously, at interval
of from Is to 80 minutes. Som'
times they came four at q tim
