Archangel.--In an attack against the
American OutpOsts south of Archangel
Tuesday the BOlsheviki sustained con-
siderable losses. Eight dead were
found in one heap in front of an adj
vanced position and three other bodies
were found in forest. Most of the
Bolshevik dead were Let's.
A wounded BOlshevik soldier de-
clared that shell from RussO-allied

The Bolshevik artillery bombarded
the American positions with shrapnel
for several minutes, but did no harm.

The BOlshevik raid against the

their first battle casualties on this sec.

parently attacked in the hope of saw
ing one of their airplanes, which de-
scended the day before just beyond the

Count Won Hertling, the German
chancellor, in addressing the reichs-
tag main committee, complained of the
lack of attention his acquiescence In
the four points laid down by President
Wilson as peace essentials had met
from the American executive.
The chancellor asserted that on Feb
ruary % of this year he declared In the
reichstag his agreement In principle
with the possibility of discussing a
general peace on the basis Of the -four
points of President Wilson's message
of February 2, but that President VIII
son neither at that time nor since had
taken notice of the chancellor's dec

Count Won Hertling continued by de
claring that he favored the formation
of a league of nations, the promotion
of universal, successive disarmament
in equal proportions. the establish
ment of obligatory courts or arbitra
ton. the freedom of the seas and the
protection of small nations.
