LONDON, Feb. 5.-Noarly a million
persons progressed wcarily on foot
toward the centre Of London to-day
through a binding snowstorm and
three inches of slush, their feelings
regarding the strikers less cordial than
ever Conditions remained unchanged
throughout the day, except that it was
announced that great numbers of army
lorries viii be placed at the service of
the public tomorrow morning. 1t is
estimated that nearly d quarter Of Il
million Of workers VIII thus be trans
ported to the city. A similar arrange
ment was already in effect to-day on
behalf Of women and wounded sol
sion.
Affairs in tho contemplated cleo
tricians' strike took dramatic turn
this morning. when The government
suddenly and decisively interviewed and
placed all the electricians under the
defence of the realm act, forbidding
any interference with the lighting ser
vices Of the city, under penalty Of
six months mprisonmcnt and $500 fine.
Still Danger OF Strike
This fact, as well as the arrangement
already operating to keep the power
stations going and to prevent the
strikers from cutting off the conncc-
tions, makes it improbable that the men
will now go to extremes, although the
Danger of sudden strike. without
warning, still exists. The general prob
lem of guarding against the unexpected
dislocaton of London's complicated
lighting mechanism lis pov engaging
the Cabinet, which fully realizes that it
is faced by a difficult problem.
The present strikes may collapse
shortly because the multitude abso-
lutciy disapproves of the strikers &C
ton. while conceding that they pos
scss a prima facie case if they choose
delegates to negotiate properly.
The prevalent unrest, however, con-
tinues undiminished. Even the cham

State Income Tax
Suggested at albany

Stuf Correspondence
\ LBANY, Feb. 5.---A general
~ personal income tax at low
rate, based on income regardless
of its source, was recommended by
Judge Walter II. Knapp, president
of the State Tax Commission, at
meeting to-day of the sub-commit-
tee on taxation of the Senate and
Assembly. He would divide the
tax between the state and the
locality. He held that the only
exception might be the income
from Federal bonds.
Judge Knapp took the position
that such a tax added to taxes on
business and tangible personal
property would greatly relieve the
burden on real estate. The COM
mittee will hold another meeting
tomorrow.

Many Prisoners Captured
As Village Falls After
Bolshevik Attack Fails
Chinese Used by
Enemy in Assault
Only 5 of Our Men Slain;
Is Frenc'1men Trapped,
Fight Way to Safety

ARCHANGEL, Feb ) By The Asso-
GATED Prcss).-Heavy losses were in
aicted on the Bolsheviki by the Amer
lean forces Tuesday, and the enemy
was driven back in disorder from the
village of Vistavka, on the Vaga. The
American casualties we're five killed
and several wounded. Many Bolshcvik
soldiers were taken prisoner by the
Americans.
The enemy began early in the morn
rg bombardmcnt with field guns
and hoNitzers, and. under cover Of a
shrapnel and pompom barrage, essayed
a frontal attack. with infantry in the
Arctic twilight. at 3 o'clock in the af-
ternoon.
TIE American troops. who were
rested after their retirement from
shenkursk and were now established
in good position, poured a heavy fire
from artillery and machine guns into
the charging Bolsheviki, whose ranks
broke and fed into the woods.
Captured Bolsheviki declared the en-
envy had planned flank attack stimuli
taneously with the frontal movement,
but this was abandoned when the Nis-
tayka attempt failed.
Chinese With Red Forces
Chinese and Manchu troops now are
included in the Bolshevik forces op-
posing the Americans on the Vaga. SO
but the Americans are preparing a
warm reception for the yellow soldiers
ii they appear in the fighting line, in
view Of stories reaching them of the
Nanchu treatment of prisoners in the
Baltic provinces.
Yesterdays defeat of the enemy on
the Nags, together with his failure on
the Dvina typihes the spirit Of the
American and other Allied troops, who
are fighting with the utmost deter
mination to hold their positions until
rcinforcements can reach them.
These defeats have considerably
lowered the enemy morale, but the Boil
sheviki are being constantly reinforced,
and while their offensive has been tenn
porarily checked there are indications
that it viii be renewed when fresh Boil
sheyik forces reach the line.
French Fight Way Out
Details we're received at headquarters
today Of the bravery displayed by
i'sle squad of about fifteen Frenchmen
Who were victims of an enemy raid on
the village Of Bolshoie Ozero Monday.
Nistaking the enemy for returning
Russian prisoners of war. the French
attachment permitted the Bolsheviki to
advance close to their position. Then
hey found themselves suddenly sur
rounded b. force Of $50 Of the enemy.
Called upon TO surrender, the
irenchmen refused and tried to fight
neir way out Two we're killed, three
Fese wounded and six were missing for
line. Four Of these six turned up
''-day, two Of them wounded, appar-
entity having escaped from their cap
tors.
The situation is unchanged on the
pFina and railroad fronts. Allied
troops were again forced to retire in
me face OF Bolshevik attacks along
me Pinega River, but the positions
o the Amer.cans at the town Of
f'neya have not been attacked.
