FIGHTING TALK | Msor ONLY REPLY TO PEACE APPEALS

Pleas of F. D. R. and Pope May Be Heard When Force Is Spent in Europe.

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press Cable Editor

It was a gloomy Christmas in Europe but -a ray of hope for

eventual world peace shone from | Washington and Vatican City. The words of His Holiness Pope | Pius XII and of President Roosevelt | were based on moral force. They met with no immediate response! from the belligerents, but their | weight may be felt when the warring | nations have spent their force and | § meet to decide on a peace which | | they undoubtedly will decide this! time to make more lasting than | that of Versailles. It seems a paradox that the peace | pleas should be met with “fighting | talk” from Britain and France. Yet | the two may be reconciled. President Roosevelt designated a special representative to the Vatican to work with the Pope in efforts for peace; the Pope laid down a five-point program which | would guarantee all nations the | right to live in freedom.

Real Peace Waits

In seeming contrast, Premier Edouard Daladier of France declared in a Christmas speech that France must fight on and the men who started the war—meaning Herr Hitler and his aids—must be crushed. King George VI of Great Britain told the people of his empire much the same thing, saying that “we feel in our hearts that we are fighting against wickedness and this conviction will give us strength from

raid alarms came yesterday morning and from then on, fleets of from six to 12 Russian planes flew over the city all day in relays. Except for air raid wardens and policemen the streets were deserted. There were no streetcars, busses or private automobiles. The only food at our hotel was bread with butter. Bombs that smashed down with detonations that made one think of an earthquake interspersed with incendiary bombs which started fires in wooden buildings. At each explosion hundreds of

covered streets and housetops. For three hours we correspondents yesterday ran from one side of our hotel to the other, watching the bombers streak across the sky, their hot exhausts leaving white trails of smoke miles long, as a person's breath steams in cold weather, and criss-crossing the clear blue sky in a maze. Puffs of smoke from anti-aircraft gun shells popped around the shimmering planes: The air throbbed with the drone of the motors. Now and then we would see a bomber head inland. The planes seemed to come from across the Gulf of Finland and to return that way. (Russia now has an air base in Esthonia, across the Gulf from Finland.) Throughout Christmas day there were few moments during which we could not hear the crash of bombs, near or far, the explosion of antiaircraft shells or the distant rumble of artillery at the front.

Russia Claims Victories On Mid-Finland Front

MOSCOW, Dec. 26 (U.P. .—Russian victories in the Suomusalmi and Jolomantsi sectors of the midFinland front on Christmas day were reported in an official communique today. Soviet reconnoitering units inflicted a “serious defeat” on the Finns in the Suomusalmi area, the communique said, and occupied “the enemy's fortified positions.”

Small Finnish Force Wipes Out 600 Russians

By HUBERT UEXKUELL United Press Staff Correspondent WITH THE FINNISH ARMY ON THE SALLA FRONT, Dec. 26.—On this Arctic front where the Finns and Russians are fighting in a temperature of 28 degrees below 2ero, I have just heard the story of the battle in which the Fins turned threatened disaster into triumph and started the Russians, in retreat, toward their own frontier. Finnish headquarters officers said that on the morning of Dec. 21 the Russian Army charged with driving across the “waist line” of Finland to the Gulf of Bothnia, to cut the country in halves, reached its farthest point west. Russian forces operating in the woods were spotted by Finnish patrois. The Russians opened fire. The Finnish patrols were ordered to withdraw and a general attack was ordered for that afternoon. The Finns put their entire force into an offensive and attacked the Russians from all sides. There was a fight of about two hours, until dark. One Rusisan battalion of about 600 men was wiped out, the Finns say; some Russians were captured. The rest retreated. Finns estimated that the Russians had an entire division of about 15,000 men on the Salla front. It was estimated by them that at least one-half the division either had been killed or had been put out of action during a fight that lasted altogether for 14 days. Only three days ago, at the spot where the battle was described to me, there was a fierce fight. Fifty
