By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrigt'
LONDON, December 3. During the third day of the war in Finland the defending army has been striking back against a fourfold invasion in the north, centre, around Lake Ladoga, and along the Karelian Isthmus. The Finnish authorities announce that the Finns defeated the Russians in a big battle 50 miles north of Salimijervi yesterday. The Russians are reported to be badly equipped and to lack provisions. Russians are said to have machine-gunned their own troops at Tuelma as a result of disagreement between the soldiers and officers who drew their revolvers against the former. Large-scale air raids have been made on a number of towns, and the coastal bombardment, principally in the fight for Hanko, continues.. Terrible scenes were witnessed in Helsinki when bombs again fell after the lull on Friday.
