The WORLD of TODAY
Finns Give Conciliatory Reply
s By the Associated Press y
Finland last night gaye .a soft answer to the wrath of Russian
demands. The little neutral country told the Soviets that on the
condition Russian troops also withdrew, Finland would withdraw
her own troops, which have been stationed on the border for weeks.
The note, sent to Moscow last night by the Finnish foreign minister,
answered the Soviet protest which charged that Finnish artillery
had killed four Red soldiers and wounded nine others on the Finnish
border north of Leningrad. The Soviets asked that Finnish trOops
be drawn back 12 to 16 miles in that area. -
Diplomatic observers interpreted the Finni^i answer as one
designed to give the Russians opportunity to resume negotiations
which were broken off by Finland on November 13.

Merchant Cruiser Sunk; 280 Lost
The story of a blazing sea battle in which the pocket battleship
Deutschland and another German raider sank the British armed
merchant cruiser Rawalpindi off the southeast coast of Iceland, was
told tonight in a vivid Admiralty communique. Fighting until rid
dled by shell, the Rawalpindi went down with the colors flying on
November 23, the Admiralty said. . *
British warships are searching night and day for the swift,
heavily armed raiders which eluded British cruisers in the dark and
storm, after jinking the 16,697-ton Rawalpindi with an estimated
loss of 280 lives. Only 17 members of the crew were saved. The
Admiralty told how the Rawalpindi, on contraband patrol duty,
ignored a warning shot across her bow and was then blasted by two
11-inch guns at a distance of 10,000 yards from the Deutschland.
