Stockholm, Mar. 16.
There is no intention immediately to demobilize the Finnish Army. Eighteen-year-old conscripts are still being signed on, and it is apparently intended that immediately the withdrawal of troops provided for in treaty is completed, work shall be started on building mew defensive positions.
Following a Finnish appeal for aid in transporting evacuees from the areas ceded to Russia, thousands of Swedish motor cars, buses and lorries are rushing northwards to help.
Sweden has already begun to improve her own defences, and a plan for a volunteer home defence organization has been worked out.
