RUSS
B0LSHEvIKI
TALK DENIED
Rumor Declared Unbound
ed-U. S. Mission Fired
on Near Odessa.

London. May According to
news received from Russia through
independent Swedish and Dutch
channels as forwarded from Chris
tania in a dispatch to the Times,
rumOrs of the overthrow of the Boil
shevik government which have been
current recently are unfounded.
They probably are due to the fact
that the soviet administration is
now moving in the direction of
greater modification.
The council of national commits
siOners is now being compelled to
fight the anarchists, says the dis
patch, just as the Kerensky govern
ment had to fight the Bolsheviki.
Leon Trotsky, minister of war and
marine is advocating compulsory
labor, resulting in friction with the
anarchists.
THE most reassuring feature is
that officials of kerensky's regil-e
are resuming work the dispatch
adds This has resulted in restoT-
alton of order to remarkable de-
gree, especially in the distribution
of foodstuffs."

To be fired upon by a German
battery in the Ukraine north of
Odessa was the experience of the
members of the American Red
Cross mission to Rumania. The
German shells fell about a half
mile from the moving train and did
no damage to the train, but several
members Of the mission were glad
to have the bOmbaTdment stopped
after about five minutes which had
seemed like hours.
For the first hundred miles or so
out of Odessa, the trains travelled
over a new railway, which had been
completed only short time before
by Russian military engineers.
On the second day when the train
bearing the Americans was about
two hundred miles north of Odessa
one of the doctors stw a fash of
fire away off on the horizon. 1t
was followed quickly by a loud ex
plosion and a great geyser of earth
and rocks as a shell burst in a field
about half a mile from the moving
train. The first shell was followed
by many others, the bombardment
LOl hNS I1lIuICo flill-
tary men on board declared the
shells were 69 inch or larger. The
shells appeared to fall in a regular
line as if the gunners had the rail-
road carefully registered. The
range was a little too great for the
German guns and all shells fell
fell short.
Greeted by BOhemians.
At Kursk the Americans were
greeted enthusiastically by several
thousand Bohemian trOps who orig
inally had been prisoners captured
from the Germans, but lately had
been fighting with the Russians
against the central powers. Most
of these troops had offered them
selves for service in France.
The mission arrived in Moscow
on March 16 The trip northward
to the Mourmansk coast and then :
to England was without danger of
interference.

The statement follows:
"The artillery on both sides

against a small French post
near Hangard was repulsed. In
the same region. we carried out

I'VE carried out a successful
raid last night in the neighborhood
of Neuville-Vitasse ton the front

slight casualties TO our troops. A
raid attempted by the enemy near
Boyelles was repulsed. There is

Many Germans Killed.
British Headquarters in France,
May 7, (Via Ottawa) There was a
terrific bombardment of two hours
duration last night in connection
with the raids. One was carried
out by the enemy and was unsuc-
cessful The other was by Cana7e
dians near Neuville-Vitasse. south
west of Arras. The Canadian raSl-N
ers reported that many Germans
were killed in hand to hand lighting
Heavy rains are rendering the
ground very bad for fighting. I'm
doubtedly the enemy is preparing
for another violent blow, but the
British are ready to meet it,
The artillerymen last night con-
tinued to carry the weight Of the
conflict on their shoulders.
There was no infantry action in
gun duels waged south OF Arras
one might easily have drawn the
conclusion that a grand attack was
in progress.
(By Associated Press.)
Germany's hordes are still held
in check Neither in Flanders nor
in Picardy nor along the impor-
tant Arras sector has the enemy
renewed his attacks in force and
he has not reacted against the
gain made north of the Somme by
the Australian in which more than
zoe prisoners were captured
On both battlefronts, however,
the artillery fire has been mos.
intense and the German attack
cannot much longer be delayed II
the enemy hopes TO take advantage
% whatever damage has been done
to the allied positions by the heavy
bombardments carried out by his
guns since the repulse north OF
Mont KENNEL.
Yankees Are Shelled.
American troops in their posi-
tions south of the Somme have
been subjected to intense artillery
fire, the enemy using more thal
$4,000 shells, mostly gas. in a short
period. There have been no signs
of a German infantry attack
against the Americans, who conf
dentially await the signs OF activ-
ity. French generals believe the
Germans may attack on the Flau-
dprs ArraS and a AmipUs fronts in
an effort to push the allies back in
one mighty blow. The hill posi-
tions, however, are held by the
allies and their guns dominate the
Germans all along the line.
