Army of the Dvina, j Saturday, Jan. 4 (By the Associated j Press).?American troops fighting des--j perately near Kadish have driven back< Bolshevik troops which made an advance there. The Bolshevists alsoj launched attacks on the Onega sector' and bombarded the allied front. The] Americans came into battle along tne | Petrograd road and in the frozen i swamps that border it. The battle; was fought in snow from two to four! feet in depth. American forces captured Kadish j last Monday after a display of gallan- j try that evoked the admiration of the; 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 j and then shipped to'Archangel for bu-j rial. There were some casualties on! i Monday, but they were small in com- < parison to those inflicted upon the I enemy. j' j Barrage Stops Bolshevists. On 'f uesday, the Bolshevists opened j a terrific fire from three and six inch i; guns and launched a counterattack ( against the buildings held by Ameri- 1 cans in Kadish. So hot was the ar; tillery fire that the Americans were : withdrawn temporarily from, the vil- 1 lage. The line, however, was not taken back very far and the new posi- H tions were firmly held. The enemy did 3 not occupy Kadish because the ^ar- ] rage ,fii? from the. American guns made the place untenable. Shells fall- i ing on the frozen ground spread their ( zones of destruction twice as far as 1 they would under normal conditions. { Later under the protection of artil- 1 lerj fire, American detachments again 1 swept forward and reoccupied the 1 town. / The men engaged in the ad-!, I J vancd were, from infantry and trench I 1 mortar units. This morning word[ came from headquarters that the f3 American positions are now 40(F me-j ters south of the village, which is the i< line marking the furthest advance made by the Americans late in October, before they retired to the north of Kadishr Here and there are graves ^ where are buried Americans who fell , Ill UiC OUU5&IC iuai Ticut v** uuiiutj j ( the first advance. There are not many ' f in number, but, for the troops involved, they give evidence that the Ameri- i cans have been in the hardest fight-!' ing that has been going on here. The! Bolshevists are fighting more savagely j her" than elsewhere to hold their positions. The Petrograd road leads southward j to Plestskaya, a large village on the j Vologda Railway, which is the neemy's 3 I base of operations at the Kadish and Onega fronts. !, , Russians Hold Position.

'' attack was centered on a Russian navai brigade, which held its positions, inflicting heavy losses without apparently losing a man. On the Vologda Railway the Bolshevists have for the past three days kept up a strong artillery fire and have brought an ar- ' mored train into action. Little damage 1 apparently was done to the allied po- 1 sitions. On the other hand, an allied shell struck an enemy barracks, doing 1 great damage. ' i In this sector allied forces advanced 1 on snow shoes over soft snow a few days ago. Beneath the snow was an i unfrozen swamp and the men often ] sank into the mud up to the wa;sts ' in spite of their arctic footgear. The i battle with the elements makes the 3 fighting here yery difficult. INFLUENZA CLAIMS HEAVY TOLL. 1 I Forty-Six Cities Lose Over Hundred Thousand in Epidemic Which Swept Country Last Fall.
