The latest Finnish war communique states that in the western part of the Karelian Isthmus, the Russians made violent attacks against the north-west coast of Viipuri Bay. Fighting, it asserts, still continues for possession of the islands in this region in the neck of the Gulf of Viipuri.
"Enemy detachments which advanced on ice," the communique proceeds, "suffered heavy losses as a result of Finnish gunfire, and more than thirty tanks were destroyed. Between the Bay of Viipuri and Voukski, Finnish troops repulsed a local attack, destroying seventeen tanks.
"At Taipale, an enemy attack prepared by prolonged artillery bombardment, was repulsed.
"North of Lake Ladoga, the enemy attacked in Pitkaranta and the archipelago, and took a few islands occupied by the Finns.
"The Finnish air force bombarded troops and enemy columns sighted on the ice of the Gulf of Finland and Viipuri Bay."—Reuter.
