on North Russian Front

Archangel. Monday. Sept. l6.-(By
The Associated ress).--During the
past three days there has been in
termittept patrol actions between the
American forces and the Bolsheviki
on the north Russian front. The
Americans have frequently bonn
barded the enemy, but generally the
campaign has been one Of hide and
seek in the mosquito infested
swamps and tundra forests. The
Eolshcviki are fast retreaters. Yes
terday Bolshevik plane dropped
bombs in an American held village
but without damage. Later it de-
cended within the American lines
and was captured. Although some
other forces are participating in the
msneuvers the Americans are large
ly predcminating on this sector.
The frontier is being extended as
fast as the engineers are able &c
repair the damages resulting. A
bridge is being repaired. an armored
train advances Smelling the Bolshevi-
III armored train, which generally
breaks speed records in retreating
and blowing up another bridge far
Their away.
Except for the railway line the ter
rain in this region is almost impass-
able Forest patrols find themselves
waist deep in the swamps. Occa-
sionally Boisheviki patrols sweep
down on patrols but retreat speedily
in the face of rife fire. I'VE should
like them to come into our lines in
order to try our bayonets on them" .
said an American officer today. but
they will not do so and we are not
marathon runners"
The peasants in this section Work
willingly for the Allies. a gray
bearded peasant told the correspond
ent that the Bolsheviki had taken "
erything from them and that they
were thankful the allies had brought
them food.
Madame Maria Butchkaroff, or
ganizer of the Russian Women's Bat
talon, has recovered from the at
tack of influenza from which she
has been suffering and is now work
ing among the peasants in this re-
Slon.

TRAINING
YOUTHS AS
MARINERS

Announcement has been made by
Prof. C. d. Shane Of the govern
ment navigation school, that to
benefit those who are employed in
the day time, he will hold classes
in the evening, giving an entire
course in navigation as soon as
sufficient students are enrolled.
He will also hold morning
classes for the men who are work
ing on night shifts.
These classes like the regular
ones, are free to all and will be of
about six weeks duration. They
are open only to young men VIM
have had two years experience on
the seas, and who after completing
the course will be given papers en-
titling them to serve as third
mates on the ships of the govern
ment merchant marine.
The school will be held on the
third floor of the Federal building.
This is a splendid opportunity
as good pay accompanies the posi-
ton, every third mate receiving
1876 a month, his board and a so
lper cent bonus while on duty in
the Atlantic.
The government is badly in need
of men for the merchant marine
and is urging all that possibly can
to attend the classes.

to the disc, stops in the hole and
the disc effectually seals the opeE
ing. The pressure of the water
against the hull keeps the disc In
place and permits the vessels to
reach port. =
The inner, or contact side oi
the steel disc is covered with a
thick layer of compressible mate
rial which is pressed into and
over any uneven spots on the huh.
The outer side is covered with a
rubberized canvas of larger ga
than the circumference of the disc.
The edge of this covering is flex-
ible, and when suction clamps II
to the hull it adjusts itself to the
surface.
Each vessel is supposed to
carry all sizes Of these discs on
deck to use over various sized
holes, and two or more discs can
be applied in closing oblong or
long, narrow openings. ..

Especial to The Tinles)

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June
&c. Stewart IHenslee of this
city, has invented and patented a
sinking ship saver" which will
make ocean-going vessels practi-
cally unsuitable IL 1t does what
he claims for it.
Tests made with models have
produced good results, and Mr..
Henslee has received the indorse-
ment of Alfred e. Glascock, an ex-
pert on specifications and claims
of mechanical marine devices, OF
Washington for his invention.
The device consists of series
of cone-shaped buckets made OF
rubberized canvas, placed along
the deck of the vessel. At the
end of each string of buckets is
a disc made of superimposed steel
plates, immensely strong in the
center but flexible around the
edges.
When ship is torpedoed, sail
ors lower one of the buckets to
find the hole in the side. 1t is
pulled thru the water alongside
the ship until 1t reaches a point
opposite the opening, when the
force of the current flowing into
the ships hull pulls the bucket
thru the hole.
This causes pull on the chain,
which notifies the sailors that the
opening has been located. They
then lower a chain of the buckets,
to the last of which is attached
the steel disc.
Each bucket is forced thru the
hole, and the last one, attached
