Over 600 Men Refer to "Angel of Mons" Holding Arms Outstretched Helsinki, Jan. 25.
As violent fighting continues north of Lake Ladoga, where "the Russians are attempting to turn the flank of the Finns, it becomes more evident that the Soviet command is staking a great deal on the offensive.
Fighting is now concentrated along the only railway in the district, part of which is in Finnish hands and part in Russian.
Finnish soldiers on this front declare that they have seen "the Angel of Mons" in the form of a large white figure of an angel, with arms outstretched protectively facing towards the Russian lines.
Over 600 men referred to this appartition in varying terms of belief or disbelief.
The terrain over which the Russiang are trying to advance consists largely of forests and marshes. There is only one main road in the whole district, but possession of it would take the Russians into the heart of Finland.
