sharp shakeup in the Soviet army.
and recall of more than 100 Red
army officers for failure to achieve
greater success in Finland were de-
scribed today in reports reaching
Norwegian and Finnish quarters
from numerous sources.
Coming as the Films announced
fresh success in pushing back the
Russian invaders, the reports, which
lacked confirmation, said some OF
the recalled officers would face
summary trial before courts consist

Little Progress
In six weeks Of warfare Russia
has made little progress in Finland
and on four fronts has been thrust
back across her own frontier.
The recall reports said also the
Soviet supply commissariat was I'M
der a scrutiny which already has
led to some executions.

sariat was linked by Scandinavian
observers with the reports that the
Red army and allied services were
being reorganized as a result Of
weaknesses discovered in the Fin
nish campaign.
Russia announced last night that
Kaganovich had been transferred
to another post"
Finland today reported that two
Soviet attacks, launched after artil-
lery preparation, had been repulsed,
one in the extreme northern Pet

ported there was nothing new on the
other fronts, including the Karelian
