SoHo Offensive
By Reds Expected

WITH FINNISH FORCES IN
THE FAR NORTH, Jan. Is oP.-In-
dications that the Soviet Russian
Army entrenched along the Salla
front would be forced into attack
by lack Of supplies were seen today
by Finnish observers.
A rise in temperature after month
long sub-zero weather last week
brought a sudden attack under
cover of artillery fire against the
Finnish northern flank, but the
Reds were driven back with heavy
losses.
This unexpected move was taken

would attempt to smash Finnish
defenses at the first break In the
Arctic cold.
Supplies Held Inadequate.

to last them through the usual sea-

In late January and early February.

CONSUMPTION officials today consid-
cred penalizing men who dodge reg
istration on October Is by calling
them first for training.
No drive to force men to register
is contemplated Reliance will be
placed upon publicity about the law
and local public sentiment.
1t is planned to post at the Office
of each local draft board after reg
istration day the name and address,
eS Of those who registered. Those
who have will report those who
haven't. it is anticipated.
Special plans We're being made for
persons who will be travelling on
registration day. Transcontinental
trains probably will stop long
enough at some station to permit
travellers to register. Passenger
planes are expected to be grounded
for the same purpose.
An insurance plan for all con-
scripts was agreed upon yesterday at
a meeting of house and senate con-
ferees on the excess profits tax bill,
Each conscript will be allowed to
take up to $4,000 insurance at a
price expected to be slightly higher
than the 66 cents per thousand dol
