land, Jan. 26.-(AP)-Unusual Rus
sian activities on the highway east
from Markajarvi where invading
forces rallied after retrcating from

Finnish patrols reported the ac-
tivity and military sources said they
believed the Russians were moving
back their heavier and more cost
~ arms before falling back to their
Salla village base.
Russian artillery at Markajarvi
suddenly became silent and for
three days not a single shell has
been fired from behind the Rus
Ian lines.
All recent attacking carried ont
by the Russians has been under
taken under the cover Of hand
grenade fire.
Firms said the Russian retreat be-
gan last week at Joutsi Lake after
long and careful preparation to
minimize losses in case of quick
pursuit and apparently before long
the Salla front will be restricted to

Military Mission
Soon to Return

LONDON--A United States mil
itary mission, under Rear Admiral
Robert L. Ghormley. sent by Pres
ident Roosevelt to observe the Ger
man blitzkrieg on Britain, is COM
plotting its task and plans to leave
for home in about 10 days, it was
understood today.
Members of the mission have re-
Trained from making any state
ment. But usually reliable sources
said they were likely to convey to
the president an exceedingly favor
able impression regarding Brit
aims defenses and the rapid prog
ress of British armament, and that
they believed Britain's prepared
ness had reached stage where
successful repulse of any at
tempted German invasion seemed
almost assured.
Members of the mission were re-
ported to have the impression that
after Sept. Is there would be only
three or four weeks, a hazardously
short period, for an invasion by
sea, and that after Oct. Is con-
trary winds and rough seas would
make an invasion impracticable.

they could and tried to provide

The greatest hardship was lack
of water. witnesses said, but one
saving feature was that the boys
