The “Daily Express” says that the Finns are trying to escape from their alliance with Hitler. Dispatches reaching London report that dissension has broken out between German and Finnish troops, and Field-Marshal Mannerheim has made a special visit to the front to settle the dispute. Commenting on the report that Finland is seeking a seperate peace, the “Daily Telegraph’s” Stockholm correspondent says that Finland has already lost more heavily in the last nine weeks than in the whole of the previous 14 weeks’ war with Russia. Her food position in the coming winter will be almost desperate. “The Times” Stockholm correspondent says that the idea that when Viborg is captured the war will be practically over is rapidly spreading throughout Finland. Finland is at present only yearning for her old frontiers and for peace. The German news agency says that Herr Hitler has conferred, a bar to the Iron Cross on Field-Marshal Mannerheim.
