ALLIED FORCES
HAVE ADVANCED
375 NILES ALONG
THE DVLNA RIVER
Channel Is Blocked by Boil
shevik Mines and Sunk
en- Barges

Archangle Monday, Sept. so.-Amer-
lean, British, Russian and French
troops today occupy villages on both
banks Of the Dvina river to point
125 miles north Of Kotlas, in the
government of Vologda. They have
advanced rs miles in the last two
weeks and they now are about S75
miles southeast OF Archangel. The
river is blocked further south by
Bolsheyilz mines and barges which
have been sunk in the channel
Up the Vega river, however, prog
resg is nnobstracted and Americans
are among the forces occupying the
important town of Shenkurek.
In their advance up the Dpina, the
land forces have met with virtually
no resistance since Sept. Fl. when
the Americans were subjected to
heavy machine gun fire for five
hours at Seltsko.
Notwithstanding losses, they held
their unsheltered position until the
river fleet came to their aid. TIas
Americans then captured the town.
Since then it has been a case of
finding the Bo1sheyiki who are be-
Neved to be somewhere above the
closed shanneI Of the Dvina. The
thin line of American troops is hold
ing many villages amid the woods
and muddy rye fields which thickly
dot the Dvina region.
North Of BeresnSskaya, which Is
near the confluence of the Dvina and
Vaga rivers, villages had not been
molested by the Bolsheviki in their
flight from Archangel. They fled so
fast that they did not stop anywhere
until the Moscow authorities halted
them at Beresneskaya, with an i'm
perative demand to make stand.
Villages south of that point suffer-
ed heavily. Executions and depre-.
dations were continued there and
when the allies arrived they were
given a hearty welcome.
The Bolsheviki took from Ar
changel the best fast, Mississippi

ing the allies an odd collection of
craft which is doing splendid service,
