Finnish Americans enlist as Finns face Russian push
Two hundred thirty Finnish Americans arrived in Helsinki to enlist in the Finnish army and head to the north central front. Reports from Stockholm quote a Finnish commander asserting 100000 front-line Russians plus 100000 in reserve, with Finnish forces inflicting heavy losses.

London reports German raids on the Firth of Forth driven off with one aircraft hit, and over the North Sea two Dornier boats were said badly damaged.
