Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
ON THE MANNERdEIM LINE,
Summa Sector, Feb. 12.-Confident
Finnish officers declared today the
power of the Red army's infantry
attacks was waning and predicted
an end soon to the battle on this
front. now II days old.
Although Soviet Russia has
thrown her greatest offensive might
into her effort to crack the Man
nerheim Line here, it still is intact
as far as I could observe.
The kettle-drum rumble of Rus
sian and Finnish artillery swelled to
o great crescendo at dawn today, sig
mailing the start Of the eleventh day
Of battle after q night of muted,
slow tempo shelling.
But Finnish of1cers said the
Soviet infantry and tanks lacked
the drive OF previous days, and
clouded skies kept aerial warfare
to minimum.
Battles also were reported in
progress in the Lake Ladoga and
Aittojoki sectors, but there, too.
the Firms said the Russians had
not advanced.
i, No Sign Of Break.
Within a mile and a half of
Summa, pivotal point Of the Soviet
offensive, where I visited Finnish
positions in tour of the front afoot
and by sled, I found no indication
that the Finns' steel-and- concrete
line had been pierced.
Un Moscow, however, Z Russian
communique reported 16 Finnish
fortifications captured. This, ap-
parently, was In addition to IL
artillery forts" which the Rus
slams previously had reported
captured and which the Firms
denied had been taken.)
The Russian onslaughts continued
with infantry attacking under the
protection Of artillery barrages which
rained shells at rate Of almost
two q second.
But, said a Finnish commander,
"tiredness on the Russian side is
apparent" Despite such novel equip
ment as steel shields and tanks
which spit flaming naphtha, he said
Soviet troops were protected in
adequately from Finnish fire and
easier to stop than earlier In the
battle.
Counted on Surprise.
''The Soviet high command" he
said, describing the fighting, seems
definitely to have counted on q
surprise attack In the Summa sector.
"The enemy is using the best Of
all the means at Its disposal, not
only heavy artillery, but also a great
amount Of bombing planes In con-
junction with tanks, armored sledges
and armor-sheltered infantry.
"Infantrymen even atop tanks are
dropping OF at intervals to tight.
There has been no chance to
count enemy losses, but last Friday
on 300-foot stretch $50 Russians
were killed by our first line.- The
total killed has been many thousands
of Russians.
"The Russians have been given
huge amounts Of vodka to drink
before lighting. We have found
kegs Of it on the battlefields. My
men saw for sure one day Soviets
shot from behind, we believe by
