TO REPLACE THOSE TAKEN BY RUSSIANS. GREAT NATIONAL EFFORT PLANNED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, March 18. , According to a Helsinki dispatch quoted in Rome, the Finns have decided to create three new towns bearing the names of those taken over by the Russians—Viborg, Hanko and Sortavala. They will be populated by the people' being evacuated from the surrendered territory.
The Finns have less than six days in which to remove their possessions from the territory given up.
