"A favorite tactic of ours is that
of the motif or sack-in other
words, encirclement," one general
said. "The battlefield in our sector

we must literally kill every man

WITH THE FINNISH ARMY ON
THE RUSSIAN FRONT. Aug. T.
For the Finnish soldier at the from.
there always is the comforting feel
ing that his general is right near
him. ,.'-..
Finlands generals, colonels and
other ranking officers are an i'm
presSive lot-impreSsive chiefly on
account of their unaffected sim
plicity, their imperturbability, their
calm confidence in victory. their
willingness to share all danger with
their troops.
In fact, the comradeship of Off
GERS and men is one outstanding
impression of my trip to the Fin
nish front.
All agreed in paying highest trib-
ute to the Russian opponent.
Air Arm Held Weak.
Their consensus was that the Rus
sian Army was excellently equipped
and has learned much from the
war of 1939-40, but is weak in the
'air and is no longer capable of
large-scale counteroffensives in
this theater of war.
There's general agreement, too,
that the Finn is most at home in
the woods and prefers to fight there,
while the Russian prefers to fight
out in the open. There's further
agreement that the Russian is un-
paralleled, as one general put it, in
defense but inferior in offense.
Finnish generals are the most OBJ
jective set of men imaginable. They
never belittle an enemy.
Il never in my life experienced
anything like this before" said one
of them as he related how the Rus
slams made three hopeless attacks
on two Finnish islands in Lake La
doga.
Only so Men Escaped.

Absence of the Russian air force
