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. Temporary Withdrawal. On Tuesday, the Bolshevists opened a terrific fire from three and six inch guns and launched a counter attack against the buildings held by Americans in Kadhsh. So hot was the artillery fire that the Americans were withdrawn temporarily fram the village. The line, however, was not taken back very far and the new positions were firmly held. The enemy did not occupy Kadish because the barrage fire from the American guns made the place untenable. Shells fall ing on the frozen ground spread their zones of destruction twice as far as they would under normal conditions. Town Recaptured. Later under the protection of artil lery fire, American dletachments aga in swept forward and reoccupied the town. The men engaged in the ad vance were from infantry and trench mortar units.

Here and there' are graves wh re are buried ' Americans who fell in the-trqgglo that went n during the- first advance. They tre riot many in number, but, for the. broops involved, they give evidence hat the Americans have been in the hardest fighting that has been going )n here. The Bolshevists are fight ing more savagely here than else where to hold their positions. The Petrograd road leads south ward to Plestakaya, a large village on the Vologda Railway which is the mnemy's base of operations at the Kadish and Onega fronts. Allied Positions Hold. Allied positions on the' Onega front near the village of Pechura were at backed by the enemy yesterday. This attack was centered on a Russian naval brigade, which held its posi bions, 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 armored train into action. Little lamage apparently was done to the Allied positions. On the other hand, 1 an Allied shell struck an enemy bar-' racks, doing great damage. . In this sector-Allied forces advane ad on snow shoes over soft snow a few lays 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' battle with the elements makes the fighting here very difficult. Act Like Savages. Further evidence that the Bol shevists are mutilating Allied wound ed and dead came to headquarters to tay in a report. from Lieut. Col. Cor berly, who was in command of Amer ican forces in the vicinity of Shen kursk on November 29. Americans were the victims, according to the report. A patrol of sixty American soldiers and two officers was surprised early on September 29 by a force of about 700 Bolshevists. Seven Amer icans were killed and seven others were missing after the fight. Follow ing is the report of Lieut. Col. Corber ly as to the condition of the bodies found after the engagement, the names of the men being omitted: No. 1. Lieutenant, head smashed with axe. - No. 2. Corporal, head so smashed with axp that only part of the face remained. No. 3. ; Corporal, head smashed in with axe and legs broken by blows, apparently by blunt side of axe. No. 4. Private, head smashed and throat cut open, apparently with axe. Carrying on Propaganda. In the meantime, the Bolshevists are carrying on propaganda en deavoring to prove that they treat prisoners kindly. Late this week, an enemy patrol in the vicinity of Kadish shouted across No Man's Land that they had prisoners to Exchange American officers went forward to investigate and at a safe distance from the American troops, the Bol shevists produced two men, one an American and the other a Scotchman. Instead of offering them for exchange, they said they wound "fatten and treat kindly" any other Americans or Scotchmen who joined them. Then they wvhisked the two prisoners back into the woods. The discovery of nutilated bodies at Shenkursk has brought a new spirit to the Americans, who are now fighting mad. Today the fighting about Kadish had ceased except for spasmodic ar tillery action. The headquarters re port said: "The situation is unchanged in all sectors." ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES BRITISH PRESS FEARS DELAY WILL GIVE BOLSHEVISM REIN Urges Early Gathering of Pence Con gress. Says If- Anarchy Seizes Ceni tral Europe Allies Must Resort to Military Rule. London, Jan. 5.-The past week has witnessed a strong and general dec mand from the most influential Brit ish newspap~ers, regardhless of politics, for the prompt meeting of the peace congress andl prompt action to stem the tide of chaos which is threatening Germany because of the introduction. of Bolshevism by way of the border States. There is a (dawning recogni tion that if any anarchy seizes Cen tral' Europe the dlecisions of the peace congress is dlrawYing boundaries and levying indlemnities can be enforced only through military control by the Allies, otherwise becoming merely "scraps of paper." The chief dlesire of the British peo ple is to have the army dlemobihz'edl as quickly as possible. The labor ele ments in particular oppose the reten tion of a large conscripted army for the policing of foreign territories with the possibility of being dlrawYn into confhects. 'The Sunday Observer under the heading of "a warning" ' gives prom inence to the following: "T(he Allies are in some (lunger of precipitating in Germany wvhat they should most wish to avoid. They are perfectly entitled to insist upon the dlisbandment of the army. Trhey ar~e also perfectly entitled to-linaintain the full right of blockade. But simul tan cously to empty millions of men into civilian life and to exclude the raw materials which alone can give them employment is the most rapid process for making plolshevists that has been dliscoveredl. "Unemployment and Bolshevism soon establish a vicious circle of mu tual stimulation and it has already begun to operate in Germany upon a very serious scale.
