Helsinki, Feb. 22.
The possible effects of the blizzard that raged in Finland yesterday was being widely discussed by the Finns last night, as the day ended with no lessening of the intensity of the storm.
Some believed that the Russians would probably be forced to postpone their offensive if the blizzard continued. Thus the Finnish troops would be given a much needed rest. There were no weather bulletins from the front, however, and the Istrength of the storm in those areas was not known.
The Russians apparently attacked in the Summa sector all day Tuesday, but it was not clear whether the storm effected their movements yesterday. The official communique said last night that all attacks yesterday were halted.
Meanwhile, a Finnish communique issued yesterday reporting Tuesday's fighting said that a heavy battle raged in the Taipale sector, but the Finns repulsed all Red' attacks. Fighting was heaviest at Taipale, where two Russian divisions attacked together, the communique said.
It was reported without confirmation that an additional six Russian planes crashed, making a possible total of 25 Russian aircraft losses
