BOLSHEvIKI PUSH AHEAD
Allies Columns on Vaga and Dvina Outnumbered
 Three to One.

ArchangeI, Monday, March 3-(By The Associated Press)-The BoI- sheviki continue to push their offen- sive against the American and Allied troops on the front 160 miles south of Archangel. according to reports re- ceived at headquarters here this morning. The Allies have evacuated the village of Vevsievskawa.
 The Allies, however, still hold their position at Vistavka and the villages of Maximovskaya and Kitsa.
 The Bolsheviki were reported yes force along the road from Tarahevo in the Kadish sector toward Maximov- skaya, and last night the Bolshevik artillery bombarded Vistavka heavily.
 The Americans evacuated Vevsiev- sEawa yesterday after the block houses had been set on fire. Air plane observers reported that the town was still burning last night.
 The Bolsheviki continue to shell the Allied position at Tulgus on the Dvina. The Allied guns are replying vigorously. The enemy apparently is attempting to drive the Americans from Ust Vaga and cut off the column along the Dvinal which is thirty miles south of the confluence of the Vaga with the Dvina. Since early in Feb ruary the enemy has been reorganiz- ing behind the lines and bringing up new guns. The columns on both the Vaga and the Dvina. are outnumbered at least three to one and the Bol- sheviki have a great superiority in PnnS.

WILSON ISSUES
 STATEMENT
Makes Declaration Regard ing Action of Group of
 Senators.

Washington, March 4-Upon the adjournment of Congress today with important legislation killed by a Re- publican senate fIbuster, President Wilson issued a statement declaring that "a group of men in the Senate have deliberately chosen to embaras5 the administra ton of the government to imperil the financial interests of the railway systems of the country" :"
 The Presidents statement follows:
 "A group of men in the Senate have deliberately chosen to embarrass the administration of the government, to imperil the financial interests of the railway systems of the country and to make arbitrary use of powers intend ed to be employed in the interest of the people.
 Tt is plainly my present duty to attend the Peace Conference in Par Is. It is also my duty to be in close contact with the public business dur ing a session of the Congress. I two duties and I confidently hope that the people of the country will think that I am making the right choice.
 Ut Is not 1n the interest of the right conduct of public affairs that I should call the congress in special session while it is impossible for me to be in Washington because of a more pressing duty elsewhere, to CO., operate with the houses.
 'I take 1t for granted that the men who have obstructed and have pre- vented the passage of necessary leg islation have taken all of this into consideration and are willing to as sume the responsibility of the i'm paired efficiency of the government and embarrassed finances of the country during the time of my en- forced absence"
 Republican Leader Lodge declined to comment on the Presidents state nent. He declared, however, that three-fourths of the Republicans sin cerely deplored failure of the railroad appropriation. The few Republicans who insisted on filibustering to de- feat the bill, it was said, were "be- yond control" telling their leaders that their action was personal and not a party affair.

HEAR RESOLUTION
 ON IRISH CLAIMS
House Goes on Record As Wishing Conference To
 Act on Matter.

Washington March +The House early today by a vote of 216 to Al adopted the resolution expressing the hope that the Peace Conference would favorably consider the claims of Ireland to the right of self-deter- mination." The resolution now goes to the Senate where it is considered altogether improbable that any action can be obtained before final adjourn ment
 When the House resolution was re- ceived by the Senate Senator France of Maryland Republican, asked unan- imous consent for it's immediate con- sideration. Senator Smith of Georgia, Democrat, objected and demanded that the resolution go to the Foreign Affairs Committee, where a similar resolution has been pending for sev- oral months.
 Adoption of the resolution in the House came after a turbulent alI- night session in which an organized effort was made to keep the resolu- ton from coming to vote. The at- tempt was abandoned shortly before o'clock. Only one member, Repre- sentative Connally of Texas, expressed opposition to the purpose of the reso. iutiOn, but Republican Leader Mann, Representative Moore of Pennsylvania and others attempted parliamentary delay throughout the night.
 Representative Mann charged that Democratic supporters of the resolu- tion had delayed bringing it to a vote until just before adjournment so that it would not be passed by the Senate and so that President Wilson would not be called upon to approve or dis approve the measure.

 ly at Standstill.

New York. March 4-The strike Of 10000 boatmen in New York harbor halted last January at the cabled re quest of President Wilson, was resuIn- ed at a. m. today and at that hour shipping virtually was at a standstill, according to statement made by union officials.

 The first serious industrial effect of the strike was the curtailment of work at the standard shipyards on Shooters Island. One thousand em- ploves decided to take a holiday rather than risk finding the Staten Island ferry service suspended to- night at the close of their working day.
 The Central Railroad of New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Erie and other roads closed their ferry houses to the public. and thousands of commuters poured into the Hudson river tubes, already crowded with rush hour pass engers.
 At a Brooklyn shipyard the United States cruiser Chattanooga was pre- vented from going into dry dock be- cause strikers refused to lift a hand.
