WORTH A MILLION ful and courageous pilots. We arrived on the front TueS' day night. The Russians have been keeping the front under heavy artillery fire in daytime. Russian three and six-inch shells were falling at the rate of one or two per second, even at night. In single file over the creaking snow, we walked cautiously along a path in the woods. In the din of cannonading we saw fire ahead and stumbled around the thick trees to it. It was a 33-ton Russian tank, about 50 feet long and 16 feet high and wide. The interior was a blazing inferno. The air was sickening with the stench of burning flesh Nine of the crew had been trap ped inside. These great land cruisers carry two three-inch guns and four or five machine guns. Thirteen tanks had been destroyed in this small sector in two days. Just behind one tank we saw the body of a Finnish soldier who inadvertently had set off a mine, His body was left there as an ob ject lesson to others to walk more carefully. In a little headquarters tent. hidden in the forest, the command ing major showed us by dim lant ern light several holes made in the canvas by shell fragments. Hot In Cold "It's been pretty hot here these last days, he said. As he spoke a Finnish battery just outside the tent began wham ming away at the Russians again. Moving up into the lines we saw ghostly groups of tired men in white parkas, slogging along the roads headed back for rest after three days of fighting. They moved back in small, detached groups, silent for the most part except for the creaking of their boots in the snow. The road was lined with low sledges drawn by tired little Finn ish horses. They carried more men and supplies for both men and horses. In Wednesday's thrusts at the line, the Russians concentrated the heaviest bombardments yet seen in this war, but in spite of the Russian losses, which every Finn ish soldier says have been terrific, TOO REAL FOR COMFORT Bystanders sighed over the fate of this unfortunate man. so realistic was his portrayal of an air-raid "victim" during a recent drill at Sydney, Aus tralia. The drill, staged bv Australia s national emergency service to awaken residents to possible war dangers, included the bursting of a bomb and medical aid for victims. they have been unable anywhere to dent the Mannerheim line, the Finns say. And new lines are go ing up behind the front line. saw hundreds of men working at them tonight.
