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.

hidden in the forest, the command
ing major showed us by dim lant

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
