AMERICAN c. Of E.
PLANS Meetings
FOR Importers

London, Feb. 5.-The American
chamber of commerce in London is ar
ranging a series of conferences be-
tween importers of American goods
and British manufacturers of similar
articles in the hope Of reaching agree
ments that will influence the import
restrictions the British government
has announced it will re-impose on
March /. =
Importers of American goods are
represented as having suffered more
than other business men during the
war and as having been considerably
gratlfied, when, soon after the armis-
tlce, the British government removed
restrictions on a long list of articles.
These importers, it is said, also for
see great business difficulties over
the decision of the government to re-
new the restrictions on American
goods. The decision to restrict i'm
ports was made after conference be-
tween British manufacturers and the
officials of the British board of trade.
In view Of the unavoidable delays
in dealing with trade subjects through
any government department, the
manufacturers, and importers, on the
proposal of the American Chamber
of Commerce, have decided to work
out their own problems and submit
the results to the British government.

Enemy Suffers Heavy Loss
es and Flees
CHINESE AND MANCHU
TROOPS AID ENEMY
Little Band OF Frenchmen Put Tn
Stiff Fight When Surrounded.
(By The Associated Press.)

Archangel, Feb. 5.-Heavy losses
were inflicted on the Bolsheviki by
the American forces Tuesday night
and the enemy was driven hack in
disorder from the village of Vistavka
on the Vega. The American casualties
were five killed and several wounded.
Many Bolsheviki soldiers were taken
prisoners by the Americans.
The enemy early in the morning be-
gan bombardment with field guns
and howitzers, and under cover of
shrapnel and pompom barrage, essay
ed a frontal attack with infantry in
the Arctic twilight at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The American troops,
who were rested after their retire
ment from Shenkursk and were now
established in good position, poured
a heavy fire from artillery and ma
chine guns into the charging Bolshe-
wiki, whose ranks broke and fled into
the woods.
Plan Flank Attack.
Captured Bolsheviki declared that
the enemy had planned flank attack
simultaneously with the frontal move
ment, but this was abandoned, when
the Vistavka attempt failed.
Chinese and Manchu troops are now
included in the Bolshevik forces OPP
posing the Americans on the Vaga SO
far these have been held in reserve,
but the Americans are preparing a
warm reception for the yellow soldiers
| if they appear in the fighting line. in
view of stories reaching them of the
Manchu treatment of prisoners in the
Baltic provinces.
Yesterdays defeat of the enemy on
Vaga, together with his failure on
the Dvina, typifies the spirit of the
American and other allied troops who
are fighting with the utmost deter
mination to hold their positions until
reinforcements can reach them. These
defeats have considerably lowered the
enemy morale, but the Bolsheviki
are being constantly reinforced, and
while their offensive has been tenn
porrarily checked, there are indica-
tons that it will be renewed when
fresh Bolsheviki forces reach the
line.
Frenchmen Surrounded.
Details were received at head
quarters today of the bravery dis
played by little squad of Adopt Is
Frenchmen who were victims Of an
enemy raid on the village of Bolshoie
Ozera Monday Mistaking the enemy
for returning Russian prisoners Of
war, the French detachment permit
ted the Bolsheviki to advance close to
their position. Then they found
themselves suddenly surrounded by a
force Of $50 of the enemy. Called upon
to surrender the Frenchmen refused
and tried to fight their way out Two
were killed; three were wounded, and
six were unaccounted for at the time.
Four Of these six turned up today,
two of them wounded, apparently hav.
ing escaped from their captors.
The situation is unchanged on the
Dvina and railroad fronts. Allied
troops were again forced to retire in
the face of Bolsheviki attacks along
the Pinega river but the positions Of
the American at the town of Pinega
have not been attacked.

For Few Minutes.

A pistol duel, in which two by
ISLANDERS were shot, occurred last
night about $3.50 at Altheimer. when
Constable Davidson and his deputy at
tempted to arrest Burl Nichol, negro
who lives at Altheimer.
The injured spectators were me-
groes. One Of them was shot in the
calf Of the leg, the other was shot in
the foot The trouble arose, accord
ing to Constable Davidson, when
Nichol started an argument with a
negro woman at her house, and drew
a pistol in the course of the argu-
ment.
ut was moonlight" Constable Da-
wilson said, "and when heard them
arguing, l stopping in the shadow by
the house. When I saw him draw a
pistol, my deputy started toward him.
When he saw us approach, he started
stop, but instead, he ran upon the
porch of house in which there there
was large gathering at some sort of
meeting. When he reached the porch,
he began shooting at us.
Negro Opened Fire.
"He continued to fire from the
doorway of the house. We returned
his fire, and there were about slA
shot exchanged"
The names of the two negroes who
were shot during the firing were not
known to Constable Davidson. Nichol
escaped during the tumult which at
tended the shooting.

PEACE C0NFERFNCE
To HEAR JUG0 -SLAV
ITALIAN MATTERS

! Paris, Feb. 5.-The Italian delega-
ton has agreed upon a memorandum
which it will present to the peace
views regarding the disposition of
! the Adriatic states formerly belong
ng to Austria. This memorandum vii
be made public after representatives
of the Jugo-Slavs are heard by the
supreme council which was expected
to be this afternoon or tomorrow.
The Jugo-Slavs have likewise pre-
pared a memorandum containing six
alternative plans for settling their
differences with Italy. According to
the first plan Jugo- Slavia would OBJ
tain the entire territory east of the
lsonzo river, including Gorilla, Tries
tie, 1stria and the whole of Dalmatia.
In the succeeding five plans the
claims are gradually scaled down. the
final one asking only for the eastern
part of the 1strian peninsula, Fiume
and Dalmatia minus cara.
To Support Views.
M. Trumbuitch, the Jugo- Slav for
eign minister and DR.. Vesnitch the
Jugo-Slav minister in Paris, will de-
liver addresses before the commission
of the great powers in support of the
views contained in their memorandum.
The Italian delegation has decided
not to enter any discussion with the
,JugoSlavs at least at present but to
set forth the italian viewpoint to
their colleagues of the great powers
leaving the latter to judge between
the conflicting claims.

BOLSHEVlkI MORALE
SADLY SHATTERED
BY ALLIEn TROOPS
Openly Debate Question of Desertion
After Recent Defeat.
(By The Associated Press. !

10y Inc ASSOcldCeO FreSS.)
Archangel, Tuesday, Feb. 4.-The
stubborn resistance Of the American
and Scottish forces in the Tulgas re-
gion apparently is disturbing the
morale of the Bolshevik troops and
has temporarily halted their offensive.
The enemy lost SO heavily in the
attack on the Tulgas position on
January 31st, that the Bolsheviki re-
fused to again 60 forward and held a
meeting at which they openly debated
the question Of deserving to the al
lies. Several Bolshevik deserters
already have made their way to the
allied lines, and from these men de-
tails of the meeting have been learned.
Plans Disturbed.
The Bolsheviki planned the cap
ture of Shenkursk, Taresevo and Tul-
gas in a simultaneous offensive.
Their artillery and raiding parties
have been active on all sectors OF
this front, but the first phase Of the
offensive appears to have been check
led.
On the Dvina sectors. the allied
troops have burned the village Of Up
Iper Tulgas, which frequently gave 70
lfuge to Bolshevik attacking parties.

Members, However, Devote
Time to Criticisms of

Washington, Feb. 5.--Cmsidera
ton by the House today OF the an
nual naval appropriation bill brought
forth more criticism of President
Wilson, some members asserting that
thoriZation Of the new three yeal

of the naval committee to recon-
mend the new construction program
The message was not read in the
House.
One Opposes.
There was little debate on the bill
itself and opposition to the proposed
increase in naval ships was voiced d.
rectly by only one member Repre-
sentative Little, of Kansas, Republic
an, who declared the construction
would add to the country's fininan-
cial burden Eat time when we have
no enemy in the world"
Representative Graham of Illinois,
Republican, declaring a desire for a
big navy, said the new program was
mot extraordinarily large for our fu-
ture safety" but added that in vot-
ing for the expansion 1t would be
humiliating to him If it appeared that
he did SO "by the whip and spur that
is being administered by the presi-
dent" He referred to message sent
by the president to Secretary Daniels
insisting on the three year program
and which was the subject of debate
in the house, yesterday.

STEADY INCREASE
Of''ALL|fD ARMIES
CRUSHED germany
Figures Show Decline of
Hun Fighters UP to Time
of Surrender.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The story of
Germany's supreme effort for mill.
tary victory in the spring of 1918, of
American intervention on the western
on the western front, and of the ulti-
mate crushing defeat of the enemy
and the apparent humiliation of near
ly one half of his fighting force, was
graphically told in figures made pub
lie today by the war department.
They dealt with the "rifle strength"
of the allies and the German forces
on the western front in monthly per-
iods from April LIST to November LIST
and were prepared by the intelligence
division Of the general staff of the
American army in France.
By rifle strength was meant the
number of men standing in the
trenches ready to 60 over with the
bayonet." When Germany struck its
great blow last spring it had mil
lion and half men so classified
against an allied total of million
and a quarter. BY June LIST, the Ger
mans reached their peak with H.
$4,000 rifles but despite the terrific
pressure they were exerting against
the allied lines, American aid was
overcoming the handicaps and made
possible the counter blow delivered in
July.
Allies Gain.
The allied strength on June LIST
was / 100000. Shortly afterwards the
allies reached total of 1,547 900 COM
posed of 778,000 French, $4,000 Brit
ish and 254,00O Americans. Ameri-
cas- contribution has risen from IS 900
lin April. On July 1st, Germany's pow
err had begun to wane and for the
first time it was definitely inferior
in rifle strength with 1,412,000 COM
pared to 1,556,000 for the allies.
Up to September list, the allied
strength continued to gain despite the
desperate counter attack which was
being driven forward all along the
line. In mid October the American
strength had risen to an estimated
force of 100000. On September LIST,
the allied line was at it's greatest
strength with 1,682,000 against Ger
many's 1885. 900.
While the allies had shrunk in rifles
to 1,485,OO0 on November LIST, Ger.
many's last hope was gone as she
faced that army with only 866, 900
bayonets. The sudden decline of the
German forces beginning in June and
apparent in the swift drop during
October. was accorded for by the fact
that she had drawn into the line dur
ing the spring every available reserve
expecting to smash her way to victory
before winter came. These reserves
were used up in the German attack
and allied assaults which followed
while the American force continued tt
increase. 1884,.
20 Percent Americans.
In a rough way the American rifle
strength has represented about q
percent of the total American force
in France continuously. This accounts
for the fact that with total of more
than two million men in France OF
November 18th, the rifle strength il
October was estimated at around $50,
900. A similar situation was show
in staff reports as to the total allie,
strength reckoned as "ration strength
which was continually greater thai
that of the German army throughou
