Scraps and farts. R - Poland and Germany are still at war. It was reported a few days ago that a Polish army of 30,000 men was marching on Berlin and that Gustave Noske, member of the Ebert cabinet, in charge of German military affairs, had ordered the Fifteenth German division to meet the Polea There was a clash in which the Poles wore quite severely defeated because of German superiority in artillery and other equipment if not in soldiership. The quarrel is over the sovereignty of the Polish city of Posen, claimed by the Germans and as the matter is one that can be settled at the peace conference, the Allied govermenis are not ?n hearty accord with the Poltah operaT tlona. ? The Ohio State Board of Medicul Registration and Examination has begun an investigation of charges of profiteering against physicians ot R? Cleveland and other cities in the state, during the past two months or more The board is advised that because oi the scarcity of physicians, on account of war service, the physicians who remained at home took advantage of the opportunity to charge several times the usual fees for their cervices, especially to new patients, formerly under the car) of other physicians. Dr< J. E. Tuckerman, vice president of the Cleveland academy of medicine, ie quoted as denouncing these men most bitterly, provided they are qullty, and demanding that they be held up to public odium. ? American shipyards built 1,882 vessels of 2,721,281 gross tons during 1918. Reports of the bureau of navigation of the commerce department made public today show this total of which all but 124,000 tons rep-esented seagoing ships, the seagoing tonnage alone aggregating 1,861,321 gross tons. The bureau's figures for 1917 construction show that 1,034,000 gross tons were constructed by American shipyards. The armistice brought about a decided check In the yards' output. Wnvomhor was the month of greatest construction In the history of American ship building, 171 ' essels of 357,660 L gross tons of seagoing shipti being produced. In December only 153 ships were completed e nd the tonnage amounted to 283,358. A propaganda has been Inaugurated among soldiers and sailors of Norfolk, Va., in behalf of a year's advance salary to soldiers and sailors on their discharge from the army. W. B. Shafer, Jr., of Norfolk is the originator of the plan. He argues that the proproposed advance of a year's pay will give soldiers and sailors the means of taking advantage of such business opportunities as might turn up in their way, or perhaps spend a year or two more at school and college, as circumstances might require. He claims that it will be an act of Justice to the enlisted man who worked for a dollar a day by the side of the non-enlisted man who received from 36 to 310 a day. The argument that such an allowance would make many loafers, he says, comes from tightwad taxpayers who do not stand for the fair deal. He argues that men whose lives and fortunes were at stake are entitled to something at the hands of the profiteers w^o made ra llions out of the war. Shafer's propaganda is being circulated among the soldiers and sailors in the shape of leaflets which the soldiers are require! to send to their newspapers ana mo congressmen. Two thousand five hundred soldiers returning from the battlefields of Europe, more than half of them wounded, and many of them unable to turn themselves In their bunks, have been having a distressing time as the result of the stranding of the transport the 'Northern Pacific," in which they came, off the coast of Fire Island, near New York last week. The big steamer went aground on a sandbar in a storm and efforts to get her off the sandbar on wh'ch she was stuck proved unavailing. The winds and the waves continued to batter the vessel as she rolled heavily, and oil poured on the troubled waters seeming to afford only partial relief, It was finally decided tc remove the passengers. During Thursday 259 soldiers and Red Cross nurses were taken ashore by means of surf boats and breeches buoys, and the transfer was accomplished without accident, except the capsizing of tv/o or three of the lifeboats; but even at "that no lives were lost- During Saturday 2,204 soldiers were removed mainly by means of steam launches, which the men boarded from ladders thrown _jU??C?lhe bow of the "Southern Pacific," and by means of gangways. This left about 200 helpless wounded still aboard, Including men with broken limbs that had not yet knitted, and most of these were moved on Saturday and Sunday by telng carefully car riea aown gangways in tr.e arms Bailors. ? Reductions of f-om 25 to 30 per cent In existing freight rates from Atlantic ports to ports in South America Asia Japan. Australia and Africa have be?n announced by J. H. Rosseter, director oi operations of the shipping board, effective for January and February loadings. Mr. Rosseter said this reduction in rates had been authorized in order that the substantial amount of :onnage under the shipping board which has been made available for commercial trades could serve its greatest possible usefulness to American exports. South American rates per ton are $22.50 to north Brazil from Para to Pernambuco; $25 to middle Brazil from Mexico to Santos: $30 to south Brazil from Paragua to Rio Grande De Sul and $35 from Pelotas to Porto Alugre; $25 to Montevido and Buenos Aires; $27.50 to La Plata and $30 to Rosario, Bahia Blanca and Port Madrya, Argentina, with a special announced rate from Punta Arenas. The rates to Japan and China are $45; Manila $40; Singapore and Saigcn $45; Penang, Bangkok and Port Kwetenham $52.50; Calcutta and Colambo $15; Bombay, Bangoon and Madrass $50, and southeast Indies $60. For Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, the rates are $40, with the same tariff for New Zealand main ports. The tarifT of South African ports is $35 and to west African ports $25. All capital ships of the future will be electrically driven, "insuring their superiority over vessels of other nation," Secretary Daniels told the house naval committee on Thursday. The New Mexico, the first electrically driven dreadnaught, is the most powerful naval vessel of any navy in the world today, and has put the electric drive beyond the field and experimentation, the committee was told. Built to develop 26,500 horsepower, the New Mexico actually did develop 31,000 horsepower, Mr- Daniels said. Some of the other advantages claimed for the electric drive by Secretary Daniels and Commander Foote, his aide, are: A 25-per-cent saving in fuel: a great saving in fuel space and engine space; as great power to drive astern as ahead: economy in installs tion and operation; the ability to develop full power ii; one propeller as well as four; greater endurance at high speed. Commander Foote said that the experiment had been expected to prove costly, but had proved economical because it burned 25 per cent less oil than steam-driven ships. The mere shifting of a control. Commander Foote said, would send the vessel backward at as great a speed as forward, which would prove a great advantage in maneuvering in battle. President Wilson was received at the Vatican by Pope Benedict last Saturday. The president's arrival was announced by the master of rhnjnhpr to the noDe who awaited the president in the throne room, where two gilded arm chairs had been placed. The president was admitted immediately to the presence of the pope, who was gowned in white. On his way to the throne room the president was accompanied by a procession of Vatican se-vants. The procession made its way through halls filled with antique pictures and precious tapestries. As the president * ? 41.- 4_?W 41, eniercu UIC amctnainuci iu hie |/a(iai apartments he was preceded by the pontifical chamberlain. Gendarmes In Immense busbys and the palatine guard and the noble guard In their red tunics were drawn up to greet him. President Wilson drove from the Palazo del Prago. the residence of American Ambassador Page, to the Vatican, accompanied by Monslgnor Charles O'Hearn. rector of the American college. Thousands gathered along the streets cheered and waved si their hats when the automobile pass- ia ed. As the president entered, the . Swiss guard in multi-colored uniforms 111 designed by Raphael, presented arms. Crossing the court yard, the president- R ial automobile reached San Damasco, f? in the renter of the apostolic palace, where a detachment of gendarmes a: heralded its coming with bugles and ic at the same time rendered military w honors. At the foot of the grand R staircase leading to the pontifical apartment, the president waa met by U Monsignor Canati, secretary of the con- tl gresration of ceremonials, with four I Swiss guards in full uniform and two I I doorkeepers in their characteristic I | costumes. The president and Mon -1 slgnor Canatl shook hands, the secre- it tary extending' a formal welcome. Led t( by "Pallifreniers" ancient officers who . used to hold the bit of the white which tJ the pope rode in processions, they u made their way to Clementine Hall, ^ , one of the largest and most beautiful , in the Vatican, where 24 Swiss guards with halberds presented arms. Pres- c ident Wilson was met by the whole n ; political court, headed by the major- j dumo, Monsignor Tacci; the master of . the chamber, the grand steward and a the commander of the Swiss guard. i' the ^otfeviHe dnquirrc o j Entered at the Postofflce at Tork as v , Mall Matter of the Second Class. - - v r f TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1919. \s e The general assembly convenes next ^ Tuesday. e ' * ' 11 i All of the boys who have been to France are for better roads and better a schools also. t( ti South Carolina remains the state in v which there is promise of the greatest i, . outcome for the reason that up to t this time South Carolina has made so 8 much less educational progress than any of the other states. s . m . il ' It is a noticeable fact tLat commis- t! sions and petty offices went as a rule to boys in the army who had enjoyed p the best educational advantages.

' government J1 i There has been a time within the easy recollection of the present generation whep, as a rule, people were preferred mainly by reason of family or ^ fortune; btft that time is about past. Preference now is based more large- ? ly on what you can do and on what you really do, and since what you can do and what you really do is largely a question of how you have been ed- ^ ucated and trained, the question of ed- ^ ucatlon and training is obviously a matter of paramount Importance. In connection with this, think of your boys and girls. Sales of government wool have been Jj in progress in Boston for several days j{ past. The sales are by public auction. j Nearly 3,000,000 pounds of wool was sold last Thursday in some 300 sepa- p rate lots. The sales Included all qual- b ities and grades of "greasy" and "sour- h ed" wool. The highest price realized during the sale was for thirty bales of b( greasy Australian wool, which sold at ^ $1.01 per pound. The lowest price ^ was 81 cents for 68 bales of Australian ^ wool. The offerings included wool from Australia, Cape Town, South n America and Texas' ' cl Remember that the food demands jr on America are heavier than they have 0; ever been. There are millions of starving people in Europe and most of w them are to be fed from American n stocks. The food is to be purchased by (j the Allied governments and the United States. It is reasonable to assume that ei this unusual demand, probably the n heaviest demand yet experienced, will w have a most decided effect on prices. e; York county people have been getting b in the way, during the past two years of raising their own supplies. Under rr all the circumstances, there is more a reason now why they should continue tl to do this than there has ever been. p If the war had gone on for another n year, the people of this country would tl have begun to get a real taste of prl- n vation and taxes. And since we have u been spared continuance of the war, w which would have only meant suffer- s< ing and sacrifice without promise of li mateiial benefits, why can we not un- e dertake a little apparent sacrifice for ii something that will certainly be worth all it can cost and more? How could e this country' be more greatly benefit- tl ted than by the construction of sure n enough good roads? The landowners a and the farmers will be the first beneficiaries of such work as may be done a along this line; but those benefits will si as surely extend to people of every p degTee and every occupation. u . m , Si As we see things now there is no probability that the Allied world will P undertake armed aggression against " the Russian Bolshevlkl soon. The spirit of the times outside of Russia Q seems to be to let Russia go on with her experiment of abolishing property rights, an experiment for which few people of intelligence have any re- ? spect: but there is no good excuse for TJ violence. However, Russia will be iso- n lated from the balance of the world n so far as social, or even extensive com- ti mercial intercourse are concerned, c] None of th* nations whose economic structure is based upon private owner- d< lip of property are likely to count re- i itions with Russia. There is a feel- < ig among the more Intelligent ob?rvors throughout the world that the : ;ussian experiment will necessarily i ill of its own inherent unsoundness, < nd be followed by social and econom- < ; chaos, It may be necessary, after a i rhile to hammer some sanity into the | lussain Bolshevists; but nothing is j kely to happen along that line from i he outside, at least for a while. Capitalism vs Bolshevism. i There is no perfect social or econom- , 5 system except that embraced in the , cachings of Christianity, and al hough mankind will eventually come , p to these teachings, it will be a good rhile yet most probably. Capitalism comes out of that priniple which recognizes that you "can ot eat your cake and have it top," and lolshevlsm grows out of an improvl- < ent unreasonableness that would eat ts own cake and then appropriate the ake of the other fellow. i N'o, we are not defending capitalism r unqualifiedly condemning Bolsheism not In principle anyway. We do not take any stock in Bolshe1sm as a system, not as it is being tractlced in Russia or as it is being aught elsewhere, for these ideas are < mpossible of good to anybody. As I etween capitalism as it most com- i nonly exists, and Bolshevism as they I re trying to establish it, capitalism is ar preferable; but at the same time I re would not be understood' as rep- i esentlng capitalism as entirely free ; rom gross injustice and wrong. 1 The fact that a fellow may have savd a part of his cake without eating it I oes not necessarily mean that he is ntitled to use the surplus for any and < very advantage that might present i tself to him. 1 For instance that was a very shabby ! nd discreditable advantage that Jacob ook of Esau when he compelled Esau i o give up his birthright for a mess of Pttage, to say nothing of the manner i ra which he and his mother deceived he blind old father in securing and eallng the iniquitous bargain. i Capitalism is often guilty of Just uch things, and it is unfairness and i .ijustlce of capitalim along these lines . hat results in Bolshevism. In all its six thousand years of exerience, however, the world has volved no more Just, reasonable, or quitable means for the exchange of ommodltie8 for commodities or for ervlce8, etc., than by means of value < .8 measured in silver and gold as we i low have it. But it must not be forgotten that : he right to the fair deal is at one rith self-defense as the "first law of i ature," and that oppression through apitalism has always sooner or later ound its answer in Bolshevism. It is our belief that Boshevism canot be permanently established in Rusia or elsewhere, as it should not be; >ut neither can capitalism or privilegd oppression be any more firmly esablished. The only syBtem that can ever be ermanently established is that based n universal recognition of the golden | ule, and the full realization of this act will come only with the millenniim; but as to whether the universal doptlon of the golden rule is to bring he millennium or the inauguration of he millennium is to bring the univeral observance of the golden rule is not et exactly clear. Tendency of Prices. i Although prices of labor and com- ( nodities will naturally tend downward ollowing the establishment of peace, , eople who look for any immediate re- ( uctlon in such prices will find themelves mistaken- , Wars, especially big wars, always ( o nnwnnin Klo offoff fin fhfl lave a iiftvsob w*t?v^v v**.w? ?... , rice of labor and commodities of all ( inds. There are many reasons why this , hould be the case; but the explanation f these reasons Is not the purpose of tils article. The fact Btated Is too aoroughly established. , It will be remembered by people who 1 re still comparatively ybung, that the 1 panish-American war, which was a amparatively insignificant affair, fol- { >wed a long period of business stagna- i on, and it was accompanied and fol- * >wed by a general stimulation of bus- ( less. j The South African war was accom- ? anied and followed by an industrial ] oom the like of which this country ( ad not known for many years. 1 The currency expansion and price ' oom of the Civil war exceeded any- , ling of the kind ever experienced by < merica, not excepting the present sit- i ation. J Prices of all kindB of commodities ' ;mained high for a number of years i fter the Civil war, and there were few ' [early apparent Indications of return- . ig pre-war conditions until about 1872 , r 1873. That prices will again trend down- s ard no one need doubt; but there is ; o good reason for looking for this j ownward trend right away. 1 For one thing, it is to be remember- ( 4 Tiro r is nvnr thft ftr- , LA UlCfcV ntlltv V*?V ??v?? ? - I J lies have not been demobilized, and i 'hile there has been a cut In future 1 icpenses, present expenses have been c ut slightly reduced. Altogether America had four million ten under arms, and of these hardly million have yet been sent back to ( leir former occupations. The country is still bearing the ex- < ense of maintaining three million ( ten, and it is very well to remember 1 tiat what wj are paying those three ( lillion men i:i the shape of wages and 1 p-keep, is only a small per cent of j That we are losing through the abence of these men from the various ( nes of production in which they were < ngaged before they were mustered J lto the army. { Commerce and industry have receiv- ] d a tremendous moral stimulus 5 be result of peace; but there can be o very great material stimulus until , fter the return of the soldiers. i The release of hundreds of thou- * ands of laborers from war work to renme their peace employment is Imortant; but that does not nearly make J p for the return of the three million ( oldiers who arc still in the army. i There may be some reduction of < rices on some commodities In the ear future; but we are not looking | or anything general along this line for < uite a while. ' i "' 1 England and America. * Looking at the matter in a broad ! 'ay, there is no quarrel between the , United States and Great Britain, and f o reason whv there should be a quar- f il; but it is not to be denied that be- , veen the two peoples there is a very i ficrp rivalry to say the least of it. ' England is great. There is no c J] oubt about that. She has lots of r aride; there is no doubt about that sither. If pride is ever warranted, England has plenty of warrant for much of hers, for she probably hae J noro really gTeat achievements to her :redlt than any other country on i sarth. She has probably done more ^ to advance liberty, right, Justice, civilization throughout the world, and it ^ Is more than foolish to lose sight of the factEngland, meaning, of course, Great Britain, has done great things in war, science, art, literature, industry, finance commerce. All humanity is indebted to her in all these lines, and England is greater today than she has ever been. Of course England is guilty of some horrible sins. We can take her record from the beginning, and find national crime as black as are chargeable against any other country, or any other people. She has at times been narrow and bigotted, and at times she has been murderous, and at all times she has been domineering; but at no time has she ever been wholly cowardly or contemptible. The only country that England as a whole has really respected has been the United States of Amorlca, and the United States of America is about the only country she really respects now; but still she has a much better opinion of herself than she has of the United States of America. The highest exponents of AmericanIsm, meaning our really representative statesmen, have the sincerest regard for British statesmen, British character and between British institutions. But as has already been stated, there Is a feeling of rivalry between Great Britain and America that extends to all classes and conditions of men in the two countries and in America there is a very decided contempt for British arrogance and assumed superiority. The real feeling between America and Great Britain is best illustrated, probably, in the attitude of the English and American soldiers and sailors toward each other. As a general thing, Scotch, Welsh and Irish soldiers feel that Americans are not inferior to anybody, and there is very little constraint between any of these and Americans; but the friction comes between Americans and Englishmen. It is not to be understood that Americans and Englismen do not like each other?nothing of the kind. Put the two to work together against a common foe and they get strength from each other?a strength that probably arises in a measure from the desire of each to show the other the quality of his mettle. But oppose tne two anywhere and the rivalry is even more apparent Let groups of British and American sailors merge socially on shore leave, In other than a British or an American port and a friendly beginning is more apt than otherwise to wind up in a knock down and drag out usually following some assumed superiority on the part of the Britisher. A York county soldier in France tells of the delight with which the American soldiers taunt the British soldiers with American prowess, sometimes to the length of flst fights. For instance the American likes to ask the Britisher if he knows what "A. E- F." 1 Btands for, and when the Britisher re- ( plies "American expeditionary forces," 1 the American comes back with "No, no, it means, " 'After England failed.' " Sometimes this brings a grin from the Englishman and sometimes it brings j a mix-up, and whether one or the oth- 1 er, it is all the same to both parties. 1 Many Englishmen are just now very , much stirred up over Secretary Dan- i lei's recent declaration that America 1 must have the greatest navy in the 1 world, and no wonder; but unless some , arrangement is agreed upon under i which England receeds to her claims < if domination of the sea, America will 1 3urely have the greatest navy in the ( world. i Most of the German artillery as i well as 50 or 60 of the German air- t planes which are being turned over to } he American forces at Coblenz will be sent to the United States. Plans are aelng carried out according to a cor espondent with the American forces, :o distribute tho cannons to cities I ibout the country as gifts of the gov- < irnment. Soon after the army of oc- < upation reached German soil, re- I juests for cannon began arriving from American cities, many of these requests being sent by cable. Among he guns turned over are two heavy , 12 centimeter howitzers with which, , lay after day the Germans used to pound Verdun and the region where he big American guns were located. * STearly 200 cannon of various call- < ires have arrived here, but so far J inly a few have been accepted, as J nost nt them had some missing Darts. 1 :t Is understood however, that the parts lave been shipped from Germany.

The jlanes will be distributed among Am?rican colleges and aviation camps. *>ne of each type of airplane in use n the German army will be sent to CVashington to be added to the collec:ion of relics being made by the war lepartment.

Rector, of No. 3 Yorkville, s recovered that $1,860 which he it the first Monday In December, and which he, his friends, and a large -* Oi/i nnWid hovA hftpn on a >re or less sharp lookout ever since. The money turned up last Sunday, d Mr. Rector came yesterday morn? to grive us the facts, In the first ice because he considered that the blic was entitled to be Informed, d In the second place because he is feeling more pleased over the neral outlook of things than for me thirty days past Vesterday was a pretty cold day to >st people; but In the estimation of r. Rector the weather was fine. He looking for a fine day tomorrow, d even if It should rain and sleet d snow on Thursday the gloom will t be anything like as noticeable as it which has been prevailing for the st thirty days. The story of that money Is interest?. Mr. Rector had converted some rsonal property into cash, quite a od deal of It as things go In this secn, and altogether had 11,860. It was > much money to have around the use, so he thought to bring It to >rkville and deposit it in the bank, fore leaving home, he carefully arnged the money in a flat bill book, lich he put into an inside breast cket and pinned to his coat so it uld not possibly get away. That 1 book had been in that breast pockmany times before; but it had ver before contained $1,860 in bills d there had never before been any ison why it should be pinned in ice. Well, with the money secure in his cket. Mr. Rector came to town, ove into James Bros.'s stable lot, and ent some little time about the James os.*8 mule pens. Farmers who have ed it say there is a mighty comfortle and satisfied kind of feeling Lipled with the experience of looking er big bunches of flne mules under nditlons where you know you can y and pay for whatever seems to ike your fancy. In this way Mr. ictor enjoyed himself for a half ur or more. but just as 91,sou in casn in nana is od for a choice mule right now, it also as good later on, as long as you ve it, and as most mule dealers iuld just as lief have a check as the }h Mr. Rector decided that maybe would be just as well to wait a die, and when he had definitely deled on what he wanted to pay for it check, he went around to the ret National bank to make a deposit was at the bank that he received i first shock. Placing his hand ainst that breast pocket, he was rprised to find nothing there. Surehe was mistaken, and though enely unnecessarily he put his hand .0 the pocket. Nothing doing. Ihen i.mind began to work like a cyclone ck to the time he got the money to icing it in the bill book and pinning in his inside coat pocket, along the id, at the mule pens, and every one the places to which he had been. ! has not exactly said so; but the liability is that he felt for that big 1 book In his pocket, in his outside d Inside vest pockets and every lere; but notning cioing. Then as the next step he came to e Enquirer office and Inserted an vertisement which put everybody the lookout. Except for a lot of k there was no result, and later tried it again. Still nothing doing, d although he continued to watch d think and hunt, hope began to le until at last he gave it up as a d job and began the more earnestly look forward to the accumulation another $1,860 in the same manner had accumulated the $1,800 that d been lost by working hard for it. 'On Sunday," said Mr. Rector, "my le boy moved a loose plank from i front step and happening to look wn underneath saw something >re that did not seem to belong there d pulling that something out, he ind that it was my bill book. Of jrse he brought it to me at once, J upon examination I found every it of the money, Just as I had arlged it in the book $1,860, mostly new bills. 'Just why I did not think of it bee," said Mr. Rector, "I do not ow; but I remembered that before ving home that Monday morning urned back to the step, put my >t on it and stooped down to tie my >e. II Was men mui cue luaienr pin must have come loose and al/ed the book to slip down under my it through the crack left by the se plank." \t the present writing that $1,860 in the bank, and whoever gets any it will get it by means of a check nod with the name of J.

Mason Grier, who lived with his mother, Mrs. Mattie Grler, was found dead on his mother's farm near Pineville, last Thursday with a bullet hole in his head, and there is yet no satisfactory information as to how the young man may have come to his death. At the coroner's inquest, held on Friday, it developed that during the morning Mr. Grier had left the house, after telling his mother of his Intention to put off the place unknown hunters who were shooting there without permission. On the failure of her son to return within a reasonable time Mrs. Grier sent a negro man in search of him and the negro found his body In a sort of a hollow not a great distance irom me nouae. mere waa nothing1 before the coroner's jury that seemed to point suspicion In the direction of any particular Individual; but several theories have been advanced as to how the young man may have come to his death. One suggestion is that he may have been the victim of an accidental bullet, and another is that he may have been shot with more or less deliberation, probably by one of the hunters who were shooting on the plantation without permission. Several individuals who were regarded with possible suspicion, were able to satisfactorily account for their whereabouts. Young Grier was 23 years of age and of good character and reputation. The tragedy occurred well over the North Carolina side of the line. \ . FIGHTING IN RUSSIA. ^ericans Drive Bolshevist* Near Kadish. With the Allied Army of the Dvlna, Saturday, January 4 (By the Associated Press).?American troopa fighting \ desperately near Kadish have driven back Bolshevik troops which made an advance there. The Bolshevists also launched attacks on the Onega sector and bombarded the Allied forts. The ' Americans came into battle along the Petrograd road and in the frozen swamps that border it The battle was fought in snow from two to four feet in depthAmerican troops captured Kadish on last Monday after a display of gallan ? try iimt t?vuivuu me ttumirauun ui me , Allied commanders. Special care has been taken of the American wounded . and the body of an American officer was taken back 100 miles by sledge ' and then shipped to Archangel for : burial. There were some casualties on Monday, but they were small in com) parison to those inflicted upon the enemy. t Barrage Stops Bolshevists. On Tuesday, the Bolshevists opened ' a terrific fire from three and six inch . guns and launched a counterattack against the buildings held by Ameri cans in Kadlsh. So hot was the artlli lery fire that the Americans were withl drawn temporarily from the village. The line, however, was not taken back ' very far and the new positions were ] firmly held. The enemy did not occu, py Kadlsh, because the barrage fire I f.Am ftiA A mA.fAnn ffllna ma/la tha c place untenable. Shells falling on the ( frozen ground spread their zoneo of destruction twice as far as they would - under normal conditions. Later under the protection of artil. lery fire, American detachments again . swept forward and reoccupled the town. The men engaged in the ad[ vance were from Infantry and trench 2 mortar units. This morning word came from headquarters that the " American positions are now 400 meters . south of the village, which is the line marking the furthest advance made by - the Americans late in October, before they retired to the north of Kadish. . Here and there are graves where are burled Americans who fell in the P struggle that went on during the first ' advance. They are not many in numrt ber, but for the troops involved, they ; give evidence that the Americans have been in the hardest fighting that has x been going on here. The Bolshevists ' are fighting more savagely here than elsewhere to hold their positions. ' The Petrograd road leads southward to Plestskaya, a large village on the ~ Vologda railway, which is the enemy's base of operations at the Kadish and - Onega fronts. Russian Hold Position. Allied positions on the Onega front . near the village of Pechura were attacked by the enemy yesterday. This I attack was centered on a Russian naval brigade, which held its positions. 3 inflicting heavy losses without appar I enuy losing a man. un me voiogaa i. railway the Bolshevists have for the past three days kept up a strong artlli. lery Ore and have brought an armored 1 - train Into action. Little damage ap parently was done on the Allied positions. On the other hand, an Allied shell struck an enemy barracks, doing great damage, s In this sector Allied forces advanced - on, snow shoes over soft snow a few days ago. Beneath the snow was an - unfrozen swamp and the men often sank Into the mud up to their waists in spite of their arctic footgear. The bat tie with the elements makes the light. ing here very difficult. ) Further evidence that the Bolahs- - - ; vlats are mutilating allied wounded - r* j and dead came to headquarters today -if.# in a report from Lieutenant Colonel . Coberly, who was in command of the ^ . American forces in the vicinity of i, Shenkurslt on November 29. Americans were the victims, according to the re port A patrol of 60 American soldiers \ and two officers was surprised early on ? September 29 by a force of about 700 :. Bolshevists. Seven Americans were . killed and seven others were n.tsslng i* after the fight )Bj ^ Bodies Mutilated. Following is the report of Lieutenant '' Colonel Coberly as to the condition of ,7 " the bodies found after the engagement r. . > . the names of the men being omitted: ,^ "No. 1. Lieutenant Head smashed w, 2 with axe. "No- 2. Corporal Head so smashed , with an axe that only parts of the face fe " remained. "No. 3. Corporal Head smashed in with axe and arms and legs broken by blows, apparently by blunt side of axe. "No. 4. Private Head smashed with i "N'o. 6. Private Head smashed and throat cut open, apparently with axe." 9 In the meantime, the Bolshevists are flaw 1 carrying on propaganda endeavoring i to prove that they treat prisoners - 'JK kindly. Late this week an enemy patrol in the vicinity of Kadish shouted r *5* across "No Man's Land," that they had prisoners to exchange. American offl- d 1 cers went forwaSB to investigate and at ' a safe distance from the American ' troops the Bolshevists produced two ! men, one an American and the other a | Scotchman. Instead of offering them for exchange, they said they would ' "fatten and treat kindly" any other Americans or Scotchmen who joined them. Then they wh'sked the two . prisoners back into the woods. 5 The discovery of mutilated bodies at j Shenkursk has brought a new spirit to the Americans, who are now fighting | mad. Today the fighting about Kadish apparently has ceased except spasmodic ' ' artillery action- The headquarters report said: ^ "The situation Is unchanged in all . sectors." BURN WILSON'S SPEECHES I Washington Women Make Riot at tha White House. Riotous scenes were enacted Wed- , ' nesday # night in front of the White House when soldiers and citizens undertook to end a "watch fire" demon stration started in LaFayette park by "sentinels" of the national woman's party as a protection against the failure of the senate to pass the equal suffrage resolution. Women carrying banners were knocked down by the charging crowd and their banners destroyed, while an urn in which the "watch flre" was burning was destroyed. After the police had restored order the wo nen lighted a new flre in one of the big urns in the park and Ave of them were arrested by the police for this viola- . ^ tion of park regulations. They refused to furnish bond and were held at a precinct station. During the afternoon the women burned copies of speeches delivered by President Wilson in Europe and j#rv as the last one was destroyed the "sentinels" unfurled a banner bearing an inscription denouncing President * Wilson as a false prophet of democ racy. A aozen soiaiers ana gauun Instantly surrounded the banner and shut It from the gaze of the crowd of several hundred persons. An army captain then stepped In front of the spectators and called for three cheers for the president "the world's leader of democracy and the best friend the women of America ever had." The crowd gave the cheer v. with a will, but there was no attempt then to molest the "sentinels." After the "watch Are" had been put out the women lighted another and party leaders announced that every possible effort would be made to keep It going until the senate passes the oiiffro flro aman/lmant. ou iiiagg aiucuviiuviiv Later the five women were released by the police and told to appear In police court tomorrow to answer formal charges of violating park regulations. At the woman's party head- 3SI quarters it was said that since the wo- -XL: men had not furnished any bond they would not appear for trial. : *8Rr 1 4
