NEUTRAL REPORTS
Finnish Victory In Salla Battle A Daventry report late last night stated that neutral reports indicated that the battle in the Salla sector had resulted in another great victory for the Finns. It is stated in Copenhagen that the Russians have been routed after two days’ fighting with heavy losses. Swedish newspapers state that the Finns have recaptured Salla. Though Finnish staff officers describe the victory at Salla as comparable to that at Suomussalmi, there is no confirmation of it from the Finnish High Command.—By radio.
