SHE'LL { D
BOIsheviki on Offensive on
ATChangeI Front Boast
They Will Drive Allies
into White Sea.
By Associated Press.

Archangel, Jan. 22.-Bolsheviki
troops are heavily shelling the far
thest south positions of the Ameri-
can and Russian armies at Ust Pad
enga, on the Waga river, 80 miles
south of Shenkursk. They also are
showing considerable activity west
of Shenkursk on the Tania river. 1t
has been impossible to determine
whether the attack will develop on
a greater scale. The enemy has
modified the peasants in the vicin-
ity of Vilsk and apparently is pre-
pared for a general offensive in the
Shenkursk section.
Allied Outposts Withdraw.
Sunday the enemy, under cover
of heavy bombardment, attacked
with infantry the American and
Russian positions at Ust Padenga.
The allied outpost withdrew, but
the bolsheviki attack on the main
positions was repulsed with heavy
losses.
There has been no infantry action,
though there has been a constant
rain of shells on the village. The
American artillery is vigorously re-
plying.
Yesterday, flying in temperature
of 10 degrees below zero, one Ameri-
can airplaHe bombed the enemy and
secured direct hits on Important bol-
siievik positions.
The fighting is going on In cold,
clear weather, but the temperature
is so low it is difficult for the in
fantrymen to remain in the open
any length Of time.
Bolsheviki on Offensive.
The bolsheviki also are shelling
the American positions on the Vol
ogda railway. With the exception
Of few days early in January, when
the allied. forces attempted to ini-
prove their positions southwark on
the Kadish railroad, and on the
Omega sector, the offensive on the
Archangel front for several months
has been in the hands Of the boil
sheviki. They are boasting that in
the vicinity Of Kadish they will
drive the allies into the White Sea
in March"
Along the Murmansk railway
front the Russian and allied troops
yesterday raided the village of Ru-
gozerka, so miles southeast of Sor-
Okla, where they either killed or
captured all the bolshevik garrison.
They took 40 rifles and other
equipment and numerous docu-
ments. The allied forces did not
suffer single casualty.
Bolsheviki Suffer Defeat.
London, Jan. 22.-The bolshevik
forces in northern Russian have
suffered a severe defeat, according
to advices received by the Exchange
Telegraph company from Copen-
hagen. The dispatch adds that
great peasant revolts have been re-
ported from many parts of the coun-
try and that the bolshevik comman-
der ordered his troops to surrender
the town of Sinoveff, without fight.

kept IN FORCE
Witnesses Testify Woman Is

County Judge Crawford yesterday
afternoon denied an application for
the discharge Of the guardianship
appointed for Mrs. Louise Metz
Funk, on July q, 1918, Herman
Metz, brother, and Theodore Bau-
mel, half-brother, were appointed
as guardians.
The testimony. related chiefly to
The ability, or inability of Mrs. Funk
ia look after her affairs. Judge
Crawford stated that he did not be-
iieve that the condition under which
the guardianship was ordered had
been materially changed, but he did
not deem il necessary to order that
Mrs. Funk should be placed under
restraint.
Evidence was offered to show that
during the last two years Mrs. Funk
has spent an average of $1,000
month, and that during the last
five years she has depleted her
share Of the Metz estate from ap-
proNimately 100000 to $4,000.
Drs. F. E. Coulter and F. ]. Wearne
testified that Mrs.. Funk suffered
from nervous disorders and that in
their judgment she was not capable
of managing her financial affairs.

They propose to reorgariize the
world so as to reduce to minimum
the possibilities of renewed war.
To this end, President Wilson
formulated certain principles which
have been accepted alike by van
pushed and victors as those where
upon the agreement among nations
shall be based.
But many other questions are sug-
gested which are not included with
