LONDON
Great
IJritain
soon
may
be
at
war
with
Its
old
friend
Finland.
The
Dritlsh
are
understood
to
be
considering
whether
a
state
of
war
exists
in
view
of
the
Finnish
declaration
that
Finland
and
Germany
are
co-allies.
Finland
yesterday
broke
relations
with
Britain,
a
move
that
probably
will
be
followed
by
the
freezing
of
Finnish
credits
in
Britain.
RUSSIA
AND
TURKEY
ANKARA
Turkey
soon
will
be
assured
that
Russia
has
no
digns
on
the
Dardanelles.
Authoritative
sources
say
the
Soviet
now
is
preparing
the
note
to
Turkey.
In
London,
diplomatic
sources
report
that
Britain
informally
raised
the
question
of
Russo-Turklsh
relations
during
conversations
with
Soviet
officials.
The
British
are
said
to
have
suggested
that
all
concerned
would
benefit
If
Russia
were
to
reassure
the
Turks.
NAVAL
ENGAGEMENT

Another
Mediterranean

engagement

reported
In

Italian

boats
on

back
from
Friday
night's
attack
on
Malta
ran
into
a

formation.
The

claims
one

was
sunk
against
a

of

The

At

both
there

in

of
the
Ukraine
are
"breaking
against
firmness
and
stubborness
of
the

Half
way
through
the
sixth
week,
the
Russo-German
war
apparently
pivoted
today
on
a
tremendous
battle
surging
to
a
climax
in
the
Smolensk
wedge
towards
Moscow.
Russian
dispatches
reported
particularly
heavy

and
heavy

described
