USED BY RUSSIANS AGAINST MANNERHEIM LINE
All Attacks Still Being Defeated EFFORT TO WEAR DOWN DEFENDERS ARCTIC OPERATIONS HELD UP BY SNOW No important developments have occurred in the .Russian attacks on the Mannerheim Line, Daventry reports. The Russians have persisted in their attacks .for more than a. week and have brought, up heavy reinforcements, hut. so far they have suffered very heavy losses without having much to show for them, unless it- is the hope that, superior weight of men and materials will wear down the smaller forces of the defence. In the Arctic sector operations are held up by snow, which has been falling for the past, two days. This has not only prevented bombing raids but lias held up Russian supplies and interrupted eommunieal ions. Field-Marshal Mannerheim, the Finnish Commauder-in-Chief, has left the Lake Ladoga front, to superintend operations on the Karelian Isthmus. Further help for Finland has come from Denmark. A Danish air .squadron has been formed in Finland, and 500 Danish machine workers and blacksmiths have gone Io Finland to work in munition factories.
