1900 MEN SEARCHING
FOR AMERICAN GRAVES
Registration Service in France
Busy Burying, Marking, Re-
cording and Classifying.

IN THE AMERICAN BATTLE AREA.
March "a Correspondence of the As
sociated Press).-Four thousand men
of the A. E. F. are now engaged in
the registration Of and search for the
graves OF Americans who died in
battle.
The work Of seeking the resting
places of American heroes is being
undertaken by the section of graves
registration. which is directing its
efforts SO as to be able to designate
the grave Of every American should
Congress authorize the return of the
bodies of the fallen.
Tireless seeking for Identification
tags marks the daily task of the men
of the graves registration section.
They set out on their solemn mission
equipped with pick. shovel and gas
mask. Sometimes they pry down into
the ground for the-identity Of the
dead warrior. sometimes they ferret
into the recesses Of discarded dug
outs and sometimes they clear away
the brush of the forest to find some
trace Of the victims Of battle.
Each cemetery where Americans
have been buried is fully plotted on
maps. The graves registration serv-
ice is now extending every energy to
complete the burying, marking, re-
cording and classifying of the heroic
Americans.

BOLSHEWKI REPULSED
|NNORTHERN RUSSIA
Allied Forces Holding Their Lines
Intact Throughout Territory
South of Archangel.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ARCHANGEL, Tuesday. April l.
Repeated bolshevik attacks along the
front line and both the right and left
flank positions controlling Odozer-
skaia were repulsed today by allied
forces. The Americans, French, Brit
ish and Russians, who, either sepa-
rately or together, are holding posi-
tions throughout this territory, which
is little more than 100 miles south
of Archangel, have everywhere held
their lines intact.
Losses Demoralize Enemy.
The bolsheviki. in spite of their
heavy losses yesterday, attacked the
railroad front south of Odozerskaia
at 10 o'clock this morning, but they
failed. Allied forces east of Bolshoia
Ozera, where Americans, Russians and
British are fighting, were under at
tack all day yesterday at point about
fifteen miles west of OdoZerskaia. and
four separate assaults were made
there again early this morning. All
broke down under the allied fire. Ac
cording to bolshevik prisoners the
enemy is somewhat demoralized be-
cause of his heavy losses during the
past two days.
In the Seletzskoe sector. forty miles
east Of Odozerskaia, the allied ad
vanced posts were attacked by a
strong enemy patrol this morning.
but the bolsheviki were driven back
by machine gun fire. losing two killed
and a number wounded. Seletzskoe

Odozerskaia front and the right flank

other gentlemen comprise a party OF
their clients who had bought or sold
real estate through them. Mr..
Varnes had just purchased the Sum-
my place near Aberdeen from Mr..
ID. G. Isaacs. and Mr.. J. F. Wallace
had just made deal for the Stovall
place near Okolona.
The lands of these places brought
good prices and their purchasers
contemplate improving them with a
view of growing alfalfa and raising
stock. While the black lands of
this section are rapidly increasing
in value owing to their adaptability
for growing alfalfa, the sandy, loan
and clay soils are also growing in
value. 1t is slowly becoming known
that the clay and sandy soils are
about as valuable for growing les
pedeza and other grasses suitable
for hay and grazing as the black
lands are for producing alfalfa.
The above gentlemen are delight

of our hounteous supply of water
