well-organized little dugout I found
q graphic description written by
an 18-year-old girl report keeper.
During continuous bombing she had
kept a calm check of incoming. re-
ports in her diary. Among her en-
tries were these:
1912 am, sunny, perfect day.
Reported eight planes are coming
over. Alarm signaled. No bombs
dropped. All clear. 8:25. At 8:44
four machines high over city. No
bombs. All clear, 1857.
Frequent Bombing Raids.
"At 9:37 from Valamo (an island
in Lake Ladoga) six machines were
coming toward Sortavala and three
coming from the east. These nine
bombed the city from about 1900
feet and passed over at 9:48. At
9:54 16 new machines arrived,
bombed the west end of the city
and went away. At 1904 Finnish
fighters went up. At 1910 a large
number of machines over Valamo
were heading for Sortavala but
turned east when they saw the Fin
r1ish fighters. At II am. all clear;
11:22, alarm. Nine machines from
the southeast, large number from
the east and 10 from the north
passed over Sortavala and dropped
many bombs.
Telephone communication with
one listening post after another
was broken. There was a direct hit
on shelter nearby. Telephone con-
nection with the fire chief was
broken. The Lutheran Church was
burning. Fire all over the city. Fire
brigade out At 1885 twenty-five
new machines coming from the west,
IA from the east. Fires spreading.
Continuous bombing. At $50 dark
ening light, all clear. At 6:48 new
alarm. Three planes over the burn
ing city dropped bombs, also signal
flares. At 10:40, all clear. At mid
night there was new alarm, but
no planes came over the city,"

lation centers in Southern, Central,
Western and Northern Finland in
the course of single day. When
the weather is clear, they can keep
the majority of the civilian popula-
ton of an entire nation in cellars
and AFRAID shelters for several
hours Of daylight, day after day.
Even small towns and hamlets are
not immune. With their great sense
of organization and discipline, Firms
everywhere obey the air-raid warm
ings whether the raiders ever appear
or not.
Thus. the Russians are putting
severe psychological pressure upon
all Finnish citizens and the coun-
try's entire rear guard-a pressure
which can only be relieved if Fin
land gets hundreds of fighting
planes very soon. If she does not
get this indispensable weapon for
civilian elf-defense, what effect will
a constantly increasing rhythm of
Soviet air raids have upon civilian
morale? Is it possible that the
Firms may ultimately be defeated
behind the lines before their front
lines have ever been broken? Will
Moscow yet win its totalitarian war
upon civilians?
Firms Stoical People.
It seems impossible to do much
more than raise these significant
questions. This is particularly true
because the Firms are an exception
ally stoical people-so much so that
most of them seem to have been
born without nerves. It Is extremely
difficult for a foreigner to estimate
just how deeply the repercussions of
the unrelaxed nerve strain may go
among Finnish civilians to date.
Certainly. in some of the localities
which have been successfully pun
ished with great ruthlessness. the
results in tension must be consid-
erable-but the Films bite their lips
and keep their heads up.
Nevertheless, the war on civilians
has become cruel in the extreme. In
this Far Northern winter what mil
itarists call "the effectiveness" of
aerial bombings is doubled or tripled
In any number of towns almost
every window pane has been blown
out of houses, as is reported in the
case of Rovaniemi. In that town
the temperature now fluctuates from
10 to IS degrees below zero, cent?
grade. and. without windowpanes
dwellings automatically become un-
inhabitable or traps for pneumonia.
This is the kind of torture and
slow death which the invention of
the airplane has now brought to

Effects of Bombing
North of Lodogo Told
By JAMES ALDRIDGE

HELSINKI, Feb. 4 Delayed)
(N.A.N.A).-This dispatch, the first
news message that has been permit
ted to leave the Lake Ladoga front,
was written in a dugout in Sortavala,
on the north shore Of the lake, while
the city was burning all around me.
For six days I have been cut of
from communication while travelling
north and northeast of Lake Ladoga
There I have been watching a cat
and mouse game between the Soviet
and Finnish troops to decide the
fate Of the back door to the Manner
helm Line.
In about 400 square miles north
and northeast of Ladoga a whole
Soviet division has been rolled tight
like a ball of twine, with three
strings leading to the frontier. The
Firms formed semi-circle about
them from northwestward to the
south. Both sides dug in.
Activity has consisted mostly Of
fierce patrol fights and pitched bat
ties between so to 500 men at road
heads and other strategic points.
The Russians sent forward their
artillery, attempting to destroy the
Films roads behind the lines. The
air forces on both sides have been
bombing troops and supply bases.
Reports that the Russians were at
tempting to land men by parachutes
from planes were denied by the
Finnish commanders at Sortavala.
Americans In Action.
This might be called the Finnish
American front, for somewhere far
ther north are most of the Ameri-
can-Finn volunteers under the
smart leadership of Capt. Albert
Penttila, 37-year-old New Yorker,
with whom talked. Penttila SAYS
the Finnish-Americans are fighting
like devils" They have not quite
got used to the cold, but he is
moulding them into the finest raid
ing party of the north.
saw the north Ladoga front in
bright sunshine. in almost perfect
bombing weather. The hospital of
the American volunteers, which !
made my center, was like an airport
with Russian planes passing over
all day, bombing all around it, but
not the hospital itself.
Approaching Sortavala on my re-
turn trip Saturday, I saw bloody
glow in the sky and realized the city
was in flames. A few miles out,
sparks were flying over the road
People carrying bundles were walk
ing along with children, some with
pushcarts, fleeing the town. Houses
on the edge of town were burning
f1ercely. There was fire everywhere
one looked, for Sortavala was a
wooden city.
All-Day Bombardment.
I learned that all day the city
had been subjected to a continuous
aerial bombardment by waves of
Russian planes, dropping mostly In
cendiary bombs and also few 200
Founders and smaller shrapnel
bombs. This,was enough to set fires
going from one end Of the city to
the other, so that this place of 1900
people could not now house 1000.
At crossroads near the city
square, big bomb had razed two
houses. In the square and near by
were craters 20 feet across and 10
deep. Everywhere the snow was
black. Telephone and electric light
wires covered the roads and I kept
tripping over them.
A plane came over. We clune
to the snow. The plane swooped
low and dropped eight signal fire.
balls, which floated mysteriously In
the air and then went out. From
there we stumbled into afraid

Jonah is a man we can well I'M
derstand today. He was not only a
prophet who interpreted the words
of Jehovah to the people Of that day,
but he was an erring soul himself:
given to i'll temper when what he had
prophesied did not come to pass, and
in need Of Gods rebuke.
The part Of the story which tells
of the first message he received,
which told him to proceed to Nine
veh and announce the fall OF the
city because Of its WickednesS, is not
contained in today's lesson. Jonah did
not do the Lords will, as you will
remember. Instead he took passage
on a boat bound for Tarshish, fool
ishly thinking he could get away from
Jehovah. The boat was tossed Violent
ly about by tempestuous sea. and
all the people on board were ter
ribly frightened.
The boats master, finding Jonah
peacefully sleeping through the storm
awakened him and told him OF their
plight. Jonah confessed his flight
from his duty, and the crew of the
boat agreed to cast lots and the one
designated would be the one con-
sidered as the cause of the storm. The
lot fell TO Jonah, and he therefore
told them TO throw him overheard.
So they did. and prayed that Je-
hovah would not hold them guilty
of innocent blood because they had
cast him out.
The Lord had prepared a huge
fish. however, and when Jonah went
overheard this fish swallowed HIM
and he is said to have remained in
the stomach of the fish for three days
and three nights, continually Nay
ing to the Lord for forgiveness and
deIiverance.
Thrown on Dry Land.
Then the Lord spalle to the fish,
the account relates, and it 'Vomited
Jonah out upon dry land There the
word of the Lord came again TO Jo-
nah saying: Arise, go unto Nineveh,
that great city, and preach unto it
the preaching that | bid thee
Jonah had learned his lesson, and
he forthwith iourned to the great
anu WlCNSl city vi NHlcNCIl tlIlu
cried to all the people: Yet forty
days, and Ninevch shall be over
THROWN
The people of Nineveh were ter
ror stricken, believing what Jonah
told them. THE king arose from his
throne, and he laid his robe from
him, and covered him with sackcloth,
and SAT in ashes"
He also caused it to be proclaimed
and published through Nincveh as a
decree that neither man nor beast
might taste any food or water, and
all must dress in sackcloth and "cry
unto God" Possibly if the
Lord saw that they were sorry for
heir ill-doing He would repent and
not destroy them, the king said. So
al the inhabitants Of the city did as
he king decreed.
And God saw their works, that
hey turned from their evil way; and
rod repented Of the evil, that He had
aid that He would do unto them;
md He did it not" i
