PARIS, May 5
Finnish troops and Judenich's Rus>sian volunteers are within twentytwo miles of Petrograd.
The Russian Bolshevik Government has proclaimed a stat3 of siege ii: Petrograd, relying for defence mainly on Finnish Red Guards. The Bolsheviks appealed to the proletariat to assist in repelling Mannerheims Finnish White Guards.
The principal motive of Mannerheim's advance is to force a favourable solution of the Finnish question, hoping to compel the Bolsheviks to concede the demands before the Bolshevik debacle complicates the problem.
