HELSINkI UNTOUCHED

Helsinki itself has scarcely been.
scratched by aerial attackers in
the present conflict, although the.
Finnish capital has experienced as
many as eight alarms a day.
When l talked later with a
Finnish army officer he expressed
establishment at my expectations
of marching into Leningrad dur
ing the next few days. He pointed
out that difficult, heavily de-
tended, Soviet territory still must
be conquered before this could
happen, particularly in the Viborg
region and along the Karellan
Ibottleneck
On the far Eastward side OF
Lake Ladoga, II was stated, is a
long. roadleSs path leading 10 the
anticipated junction with the Ger
man troops now making their way
up from Lake linen TO close the
IGerman-F Finnish half-circle around
lLeningrad.
In view of this situation, Fin
lnish officers expressed belief that
the Germans will reach Leningrad
first via the more easily traverS-
lible southern approaches. where
they are now hammering Lenin-
grads outskirts with artillery fire.
REVENGE DEEPER
Meanwhile. this countrys war
'of revenge against Russia is
rooted deep in the heart of every
Finn.

misleading TO suppose that the
Russians have now seized the
initiative along the eastern
front.
(They said there was every
indication at the moment that
the initiative still remains with
the Germans. although the
Russians are staging an increas-
ing number of counter-attacks.

as extremely successful"
