CLOSELY GUARDED RUSS-FINN PEACE MOVES UNDERWAY Stockholm, is Center of Discus sion Aiming at Armistice and Possible Settlement of War Between Soviet and Finland. REDS SET TERMS (By the Associated Press) Closely guarded negotiations pointed toward an armistice and possible settlement of the Rus sian-Finnish war are definitely under way and Stockholm is the s center of discussion, it was learned reliably last night. The Soviet government’s con ditional demands for peace in the form of an ultimatum call ing for acceptance by midnight tonight have been submitted to the Finnish government, which has not given any clue to its attitude. Moscow observers discounted the success of any peace move at this time. The Russian de mands were reported to include "the surrender of the Karelian Isthmus, Viipuri, Lake Ladoga, Hanko, naval port in southeast ern Finland, the Hanko penin sula and part of the far north ern Petsamo region. These demands are far more inclusive than those presented by Russia in Moscow negotia tions which broke down and preceded the Red army’s inva sion of Finland on November 30. BLOODY FIGHTING , HELSINKI, March 7.—(JP)— Bitter fighting, described by military men as the bloodiest of the war raged today across frozen Viipuri bay, where the Red army, has been trying for five days to gain a foothold on the coast southwest of Vii puri. The Finnish high com- ' mand said the Russians had lost more than 30 tanks and uncounted numbers of men. The Finns, as usual, said nothing of their own losses, but indicated the need for replace ments by calling to the colors the class of 1920, mostly youths of 19, and all men of other classes scheduled for re-examK nation or in succeeding years.
