GERMAN INTERVENTION IN FINLAND SUGGESTED IN CONTROLLED PRESS. THREATS AGAINST SWEDEN & NORWAY. BERLIN, January 4. The Press for 11m first lime lias acquainted the public with the fact that. Germany might be involved in the conflict over Finland and has prepared the way for more active support of Russia. The newspapers approvingly reprint the Russian accusation that Britain and France are attempting to widen the war, for which reason they encouraged Finland to fight. The Press records great concentrations of British and French troops in western Asia and French demands to send a fleet to the Black Sea and an army to Finland. Reports are also published that France has offered to send 10,000 crack Alpine troops to Finland. Authoritative quarters-have told neutral correspondents that Germany would be forced to take an active hand if British and French troops went to Finland, and that they would consider Sweden and Norway to be infringing their neutrality if they allowed the passage of British or French men and munitions.
