American troops are holding the line
against the Bolshevih on the middle
sector Of the northern front in the re
gion Of Kalish. After ten weeks Of
fighting in swamps and thick under

4ce-filled stream, on the opposite side
where are the camp fires Of the en-

have been in bad condition and the
only means Of transporting supplies to
q greater part OF the front has been
wheelbarrow-shaped carts drawn by
sturdy Russian ponies.
The campaign began early in August
when British and French force en-
tered Seletskoe, large village on the
River Emtsa. They we're forced to
move to another sector and the Boil
sheviki occupied the town, only to be
driven out a few weeks later when
American reinforcements arrived.
Since early in September the oppos.

along the road leading toward Petro-
grad.
Seletskoe has changed hands twice
and the village of Kadish, which is
near where the road crosses the Emtsa
river, 20 miles south OF Seletskoe, was
captured by the Americans early in
che fighting. The village now is in
Che hands of the enemy.
The Bolshevid at times try the
force of their "oratorical artillery" on
the Americans. On two nights during
the last week English speaking Boil.
