declared war almost Simuitahe-
ously with Germany.
In anticipation of the daily
communique Of the German high
command. DNB, official Berlin
news agency, had declared that
German troops had taken town
after town in the Baltic, or
norther sector, of the active
front.
A, double Russian air raid this
morning on Bucharest, Rumian
capital, also was reported by
ONB which said that q few civil.
ians were injured and killed
when between 20 and Is small
and medium. caliber bombs fell
on apartment houses.
Indirectly, it was also DNB'S
report that Finland, four days
after, Adolf Hitler called her
Germany's ally, at last was ex.
pected formally to 60 to war.
Reuters, British News Agency,
reported from Stockholm that
,DNB had issued such a dispatch,
saying that President Risto Ryti
was expected to broadcast the
declaration to his people tonight.
A similar report was circulated
by German sources prior to the
secret meeting last night OF the
Finnish Parliament which voted
unanimous confidence in Premier
Juhka Rangell's Declaration Of
Defense Neutrality.
BRITISH STUDY PROBLEM
Britain's position regarding
Finland was receiving "ur
gent consideration" an .authori-
tative London source said.
It was pointed out that quite
considerable numbers" of Ger.
man troops have been established
on Finnish soil and, the inform
ants added, "the Russians GER
tainly feel they have the right
to attack Germans wherever
they may be-"
The same rule would seem to
be applicable to one of Europe's
lew remaining. small neutrals,
Sweden, which has given Ger
many permission to move one
army division to Finland across
Swedish soil from Norway. The
British foreign office also is
studying this action.
Except for frequent Russian
bombardment of detectives In
Finland and reported border
skirmishes, the war has not
spread to the Russian Finnish
frontier.
The British, tightening their
collaboration with Russia, had
a mission representing the army,
navy and air force speeding to
Moscow via the middle east to
confer with the Red army COM
mand. 49,.
A dispatch from Lisbon said
three planes bearing the mill
tary-economic mission was due
there today enroute to the So
Wet.
NEED MORE HELP
Russia was known in London
to want more help from the
British than the intensified air
attacks of the past IS days on
Germany and the invasion coast.
British planes from the middle
east could fly to Russia for &C.
ton on the big battlefront, but
whether they could be spared
was another question.
About the same time that the
Raj set out today for another
sweep of northern France, the
air ministry reported on the 18th
consecutive night attack on Ger
many.
Kiel naval base and the port
of Bremen were pounded anew
by the bomber command while
naval aircraft, operating under
the coastal command, bombed
the Oft battered docks At Bou-
logne, France. One British bomb
err was acknowledged missing.
Two German planes were claim
ed destroyed in small scale raids
on Britain.
SWEEPING ONSLAUGHT
The night assaults wound up
the greatest 24-hour offensive
ever attempted by the Raj, q
running aerial campaign In
which 400 to 500 planes were
said to have taken part.
Other developments includ-
ed:
In the naval warfare, Berlin
reported that a British heavy
cruiser, a light cruiser and q
tanker had been sunk off To-
bruk, Libya, by air attack on
Tuesday; that eight ships total
ing $4,000 tons have just been
sunk by submarines, and that
the German pocket battleship
Admiral Scheer returned to Ger
many after sinking $4,000 tons
of shipping, including $4,000
tons comprising an entire con.
voy.
