How

on

Fninish
troops
were
today
chasing
remnants
of
the
shatterd
163rd
Russian
division
and
were
reported
to
have
pushed
ten
miles
within
Soviet
territory
and
to
have
surrounded
a
second
Red
division
which
had
been
sent
to
assist
the
other.
Reports
of
the
second
encirclement
were
not
confirmed
Immediately
by
Finnish
defence
headquarters.
It
was
said,
howver,
to
have
occurred
between
Lake
Klanta
and
the
Russian
border,
food,
ammunition
and
supplies
of
the
relief
division
being
cut
off.
This
is
the
fourth
sector
where
the
Finnish
troops
are
reported
to
have
driven
into
Russia.
Finnish
patrols
may
have
been
responsible,
It
is
suggestd,
for
a
train
wreck
on
the
Leningrad-Murmansk
Railway
in
which
hundreds
of
Russian
soldiers
lost
their
lives.
The

plunged
over
