Archangel, March 1S.-The futile at
tack which the bolsheviki delivered
Saturday on the allied and American
forces comprised the first serious ut
tempt to cut the line of communica-
tons of the Dvina and Vaga columns.
The attempt was not only frustrated
but the bolshevik forces suffered Sc
we're defeat and sustained heavy
losses.
Moving from the Kadish-Tarezvo
sector, the First battalion of the Sixth
soviet regiment, 500 strong, attacked
at lao O'Clock in the afternoon the al
lied positions in the village of Gorka,
which is % miles north of Beresnik, ut
the junction of the Vaga and the
Dvina.
Take Guns and Prisoners.
The American Russian detachment
at Gorka was well intrenched, and 1t
decisively repulsed the enemy, captur-
Ing five prisoners and five machine
guns during the fighting. After the
attack the bodies of 81 bolshevikl
were found. The allied force suffered
only one casualty man wounded.
The Vaga sector In the vicinity of
Kitsa IS quiet, as are the other fronts.
BoIshevik Losses Heavy.
American officers who returned from
the Vaga front declared that the boil
shevlki sustained exceedingly heavy
losses last week. They related one
particular instance of such losses to
the correspondent. 1t occurred after
the enemy had razed with artillery fire
nearly all the blockhouses in Vlstavka.
All the defensive troops withdrew
with the exception Of squad Of
Americans, who lay concealed In a
partly destroyed blOckhouse with ma
chine guns. The enemy scouts adj
vanced and were permitted to cut the
barbed wire entanglements. On doing
this they shouted back to their com
rades that the village had been aban-
doned.
Reds Caught In Trap.
When the first column of the boil
sheviki walked unsuspectlngly up to
the entanglements the Americans in
aide the blockhouse turned their ma
chine guns loose and moved down the
entire enemy party. After this the de-
fensive forces went back into Wis
tavka.

Titles on this front 1t has been re-

Herr President Ebert's government
is figuring on plan for paying off the
German debt. 1t expects to begin by
seizing all war profits, this to be fol-
lowed in time by taking over all
"swollen" fortunes. In effect, the
new German scheme will not only levy
high taxes for n time, but will virtu-
ally abolish inheritance, says Omaha
Bee. Naturalization Of industry and
socialization Of wealth will provide
means for settling with creditors, as
well as removing n source of worry
to the government. When no citizen

have less to envy.

James Russell Lowell is said to
have confessed to John Fiske in his
later life that he had lost all relish
for higher literature and only cared
for tales Of wild adventure and detec-
tive stories. The elderly Harvard
alumnus who vouches for this also
says that Tennyson was affected in
the same way as the result Of years
spent in lofty contemplation. Other
authority has 1t that Mr.. Taft and
President Wilson find relaxation in
detective stories. BY the way. did
anyone ever hear of the reverse Of
this procedure-a turning to lofty
contemplation in their late years by
persons who look to detective litera-
ture in early life? Is 1t rule that
works both ways?

How Do You Sit
When You Study?

Modern civilization has con-
PEELED man to do great deal of
his work in a sedentary position.
We take this position to read and
study and to carry on great deal
of our business. We are led to in
quiie, in what sedentary position
are we most efficient mentally?
Mental efficiency depends main
ly upon the proper nourishment of
the brain. The mind is most eff
ficient when the brain is best sup
piled with blood. Our circulatory
system is designed to drive the
blood through the brain in the
proper manner when we are in
an erect position. Man is an err
ect animal, more so than any 9TH
er form of animal life. The err
ect position seems to be the most
natural and the most healthful.
Our sences are most alert and
our intellect keenest when we are
m this position.
Our pulse rate is about ten de-
grees faster when we are standing
than it is when we are lying. As
our sitting posture becomes more
reclining, as we slide down in our
chairs and elevate our feet, our
pulse rate drops, our brain be-
comes overcharged with more
slowly moving blood, our mind
loses some of it's keenness. We
generaly feel more comfortable
in this position because we be-
come drowsy. Added to this there
is an unnatural eye strain. The
first thing we know we find we
have been asleep. We are not so
prone to go to slep when we keep
our back straight and our head
up. When he sits, man is at his
best mentally. when he sits erect.

ricultural College.

ApJouRNlNa POLITICS ABROAD.

In what Americans, trained and
accustomed to practical politics, would
call the "caucusing" preliminary to
the actual assembling of the worlds
peace conference. indications multiply
that economic questions must take
precedence over political issues. The
urgency of common human need
throughout the world will not brook
delay. The theoretical international
peace conference faces the practical
tnternationalism Of hunger. The SOW
let Of empty stomachs and bare backs
demands first consideration. That
the delegates to the conference recog-
nize this is shown by the prominence
given in preliminary discussion to
measures of human relief. says Chica-
go Daily News. It Is found more Inn
portant to know whether Mr.. Hoover
will accept the burden of world food
distribution than whether the ex-
kaiser has any legal right to remain
In Holland. The problem of employ
ment Of the worlds armies in con-
structive work is just now more vital
than decisions as to boundaries and
forms OF government. Perhaps after
the stage is cleared of these imminent
and urgent matters 1t will be discov-
cred that politics. boundaries, rulers
and the forms Of administration have
been greatly simplified and lend them
selves to adjustment upon the recOg-
nized basis of humanity rather than
upon the outworn doctriue Of too
narrow nationalism.
