Helsinki Communique Says Three Points Penetrated On Karelian Isthmus.

machine guns and the well known machine pistol, with the ugly little four-inch hunting knives,

fighting. The official air communique said 34 persons were killed yesterday and . more than 60 wounded in the Russian bombing raids yesterday. Casualties including more than 20 killed and about 50 wounded at Lappeenranta. Bombs caused numerous fires there, it was said, and about 20 homes were damaged or destroyed at Riikimaeki. Finns forecast that if—as they expected—they broke the Russian attack on the Mannerheim, Russia would unloose a terrible bombing , campaign throughout the more populous areas of the country. When the present cold wave ends, snow is to be expected. It would hamper Russian troops but not the Finns. , There was a growing impression that the next few days would tell the story of the Mannerheim Line fight. Despite the persistence of the Russian attack, despite the Finnish - withdrawal, despite the overwhelming numerical and material superiority of the Russians, neutral military experts here expressed belief that the Russian attacks were neither as well paced nor as intensive as they were several days ago. Even in the Summa sector, “the bloodiest 10 miles on earth,” where the Russians are advancing over the frozen bodies of their dead, it was insisted the Finns were in better position today than they were earlier this week. Fighting was still severe, it was said, but the Finns seemed confident they could hold.

Russia Claims Forces Are Nearing Viipuri

MOSCOW, Feb. 16 -(U. P.).—Russia’s Red Army, on the 15th day of a steam roller offensive against the Finnish Mannerheim Line, is approaching Kamara railroad station, only 12% miles from Viipuri, Finland’s second city, a communique asserted today. Finnish troops were reported in retreat, abandoning arms and war material and suffering heavy losses. The Army communique, issued through the official Tass News Agency, - said Russian troops occupied 53 Finnish defensive fortifications yesterday, including 21 iron and concrete artillery forts. Kamara railroad station is on the main Leningrad-Viipuri Railroad and hence a vital point. By advancing along the railroad the Russians would insure themselves a direct line for supplies from the great

Leningrad base, and would be able}

to pour men and materials into the front positions. : Today’s communique, reporting yesterday’s operations, was the first in many weeks to report Russians gaining specific * territory in the vitally important Karelian Isthmus. " As it was issued, the newspaper Red Fleet; organ of the Russian Navy, made the first mention of the 22d anniversary of the Red Army and Navy, Feb. 23, in connection with the war. It said: “The anniversary is taking place when our heroic warriors fight for the emancipation of the Finnish people from the bands of Mannerheim and Tanner.

Egypt Is Allied

Editor's Note: Reynolds Packard, manager of the United Press Bureau at Rome, who has covered wars and threats of wars in dozens of distant news centers in the last decade, is on the move again, Today he writes from Egypt, one of the most important fields of activity outside the asztual war zone, By REYNOLDS PACKARD . United Press Staff Correspondent CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 16.—A network of new military roads is being built throughout the North African desert, and Egypt today is a potential springboard for Allied action if Europe's wars spread to the Balkans or the Near East. . The strategic importance and the thoroughness of Egyptian military preparedness was revealed to this correspondent on a tour through one of the great centers of activity in the Eastern Mediterranean area. Throughout the Egyptian desert British and Egyptian forces are building a network of roads to speed military transports. Everywhere from Suez to the desert oases, the British and Egyptian forces are concentrated— and in some places entrenched— and are being trained for transfer to distant battlefields. The arrival this week of Australian and New - Zealand troops served to strengthen the Allied military establishments in this area which lies adjacent to vital com-

munications and supply lines, including ‘those leading to the Near East oil fields.

Once a tourist paradise, Egypt is now - being used as a funnel for British forces, including those from the Far East, en route to the battlefields “somewhere in.the war zone.” The first contingent of New Zealanders who arrived Monday are encamped on the Egyptian deserts in order to become accustomed gradually to the. change in weather, rather than being suddenly dispatched to. the extreme cold of this winter in Europe.

The writer was permitted to attend maneuvers, reviews and official inspections in the last two weeks and everywhere saw impressive evidence of the close collaboration of the: British, French’ and Egyptian high commands. partite conservations involving such personages as King Farouk, who is commander-in-chief of all Egyptian forces; Gen. Maxime Weygand, the French commander in Syria; Sir Archibald Wavell, the British com-mander-in-chief in the Middle East; Gen. Wilson, commander-in-chief of British forces in Egypt; Sir Andrew Cunningham: commander-in-chief of the British ‘Mediterranean fleet; and a number of high French Naval authorities and Egyptian Army officers. These conversations were understood to have confirmed that Egyptian soldiers will be used only on Egyptian soil and will not be sent to the Western Front or for duty on any other front outside of Egypt, which lies adjacent to the strongly militarized Italian area of Lybia.

the Allied High Commands plan to use only French, Indian, dominion and. Senegalese forces for military action in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East. Egyptian and Palestinian forées will be stationed at home bases. The. British contraband control is extremely active around Suez and the Red Sea. Inspection authorities are stationed at Aden, Suez, Alexandria and Haifa. The British say they are assured that nothing that passes those points could possibly aid the Nazi war machine. % All official German agencies, including tourist, newspaper and commercial offices, are closed now or in the hands of non-Germans. More than 100 Germans, including prominent - bankers and businessmen, have been placed in concentration camps. The official status of Egypt at present is “a state of siege” under which relations with Germany have been broken without an actual declaration of war. Both British and Egyptian desert units are regarded here as the most modern in the world. British sources say that the Allies are unworried about this part of the world—that huge forces can be moved instant-

ly to any danger point. .

As far as could be determined,

Members of the County Clerks Association of Indiana at a meeting here yesterday discussed procedures to be followed under the State’s new hygienic marriage law which goes into effect March 1. Left to right are Marion County Clerk Charles Ettinger, Kenton Russell, Hancock County Clerk; Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health director, and Taylor I. Morris, Henry County clerk, Dr. Harvey is explaining provisions of the new pre-marital blood test act which his department: was instrumental in passing. The clerks issue marriage licenses under the law.

NUPTIAL PERMIT SALES INCREASE

Gain of 50 Over Average Shown for 15 Days, Feeney Says.

.The number of marriage licenses issued thus far this month by the Marion County Clerk showed an increase today over the same month a year ago. : Marriage License Cierk Francis Feeney reported a total of 215 licenses since Feb. 1 up to the close of business last night, approximately 50 above the average number issued for the first 15 days of February for

the last five years. : The upward trend is believed to be in anticipation of .the March 1 effective date of Indiana’s new premarital blood test law, which will

it seems, are lined; with several sheets of this robber} When bullets pierce the tanks, the rubber actsasa valve and closes the hole until the plane gets away. i Both the Allied and German espionage systems are excellent, developed to greater efficiency from the lessons of the World War. There is a story current in England, never permitted to be published there, that a. German spy landed by parachute “at night in the Kentish countryside. The parachute caught in the folijage and the German was challenged by a sentry. Receiving an unsatisfactory reply, the sentry shot and killed him. Examination of the body revealed cleverly forged passports and other essential papers.. Authorities could not rebuke the sentry, but they were extremely annoyed because the spy had not been taken alive for intensive questioning. : The German submarine which sank the Battleship Royal Oak in Scapa Flow is reputed to have got into those closely-guarded waters by complete knowledge of the British code. The story is that the submarine, challenged, replied properly in the secret code and was permitted through. Another German submarine in the same area was not so lucky. Shortly after the Royal Oak episode, the British patrol was more suspicious. Two destroyers detected. a submerged submarine by their oscillographs. Challenged, the submarine replied in the British Code but it did not sound quite exact. Purther challenges meeting no reply, the destroyers let go with depth bombs and the submarine settled to the bottom. The . British submarine Oxley, sunk in the first few days of the war, generally is understood by those “in the know” to have been sent down in error by the British themselves. The Oxley’s reply to a challenge was garbled in some way and the guns let go. The first the British knew of the tragedy was when two of their sailors bobbed to the surface, having used escape lungs. One of them died and there was only one survivor. A correspondent reports that the British are now spending on ordinary and war costs approximatel £6,000,000 a day ($24,000,000) and of that amount about £3,000,000, ‘or $12,000,000, is “in the red.”

HOPING SENATE RESTORES CUTS

Plans to Give Aircraft Carrier 111 Planes.

BULLETIN WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (U. P.). ~The House today voted against developing the harbor at Guam Island, after opponents of the - project had declared it would increase the danger of the United States becoming involved in Far Eastern conflicts. ’

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (U. PJ. —House big-Navy advocates decided today to rely on the Senate

to restore some of the cuts made #:

in the Navy's $966,772,878 appropriation for 1941. They said they had a tacit understanding with House leaders that the House conferees would accept

any increases the Senate might make in the measure, which was cut almost $111,700,000 from the budget figure of $1,078,000,000 approved by President Roosevelt. They abandoned, therefore, tentative plans te fight for restoration of enough money to assure the new aircraft carrier Hornet of a full] complement of 111 planes when it joins the fleet in February, 1942. The bill, which has been under general debate in the House since Tuesday, will be opened to amendments today. - Although the House Appropriations Committee cut down the Navy's $7,800,000 request for battleship funds to $1,500,000—action |a which drew direct adverse comment from President Roosevelt — Rep. Robert F. Rich (R. Pa.), announced he would seek to cut it down still further. Mr. Rich said his object was to limit the Navy to only one new battleship for 1941, instead of the two contemplated.

Pittman Warns Nazis

Back in Washington the poor State Department expressed mystification and surprise at the Presiden’t refusal to deny rumors of a possible parley with Allied chiefs, pointing out that the highest Allied official in this hemisphere, the British ambassador, was not at sea but in Washington. Meanwhile the President's chief Congressional representative in such matters, Chairman Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was. addressing the Senate. He said that if Germany sank an American ship in combat. waters (where it has no right to be under the neutrality law, but where the British Navy took one anyway) the American people probably would want to go to war. He personally did not think Congress would declare war in that event. Such is the new atmosphere in Washington—official debate on ‘conditions in. which Congress would declare war, official secrecy concerning the President’s movements, official encouragement of rumors of a mysterious Allied meeting with
