CARRYING ON
REGARDLESS OF PEACE MOVE EFFORTS OF FINNISH ARMY. RUSSIAN LOSSES IN GULF. LONDON, March 9. The Finnish army carries on regardless of the peace moves, states a message from Helsinki. It is reliably estimated that the Russians lost a further 1000 men and much material in attempts to advance across the ice in the Gulf of Finland. The Finnish air force is proving invaluable in frustrating these attacks over the ice, which is still three feet thick and covered with a foot of snow. The shore artillery breaks the ice behind the attacking force, while the planes bomb the ice where the guns are ineffective. A communique issued in Moscow claims the capture of five islands in Viborg Bay and also guns and ammunition.
