By occupying Karelia (ceded to Russia in 1920) to the east, Finland's land boundary with Russia from the White Sea to the Gulf of Finland would be conveniently short, broken up by the big lakes Onega and Ladoga. The Karelians, who are racially kin to the Finns and speak a kind of Russianized Finnish, are well scattered throughout northeastern Russia.

Northeast of Lake Ladoga,* Red tanks and infantry tried to make headway where three of their divisions had been whittled to bits. As usual, they were driven back. At Taipale, Vuosalmi and along the Vuoksi in the centre of the Karelian Isthmus, tired Finnish defenders stood firm under fresh concatenations of heavy Red artillery, replying with...
