BOLSHEV|K| ROUTED
ON THE URAL FRONT
Red Army Imperiled as Leninites
Flee After Defeat.
YANKS BATTLE REDS IN SNOW
Americans, British and Russians un-
able to Drive Foe From Town
Weather Is Extremely Cold
Allies Move Big Guns.

London, March 27.-The troops of
the Kolchak government, which
pierced the bolshevik front on a 30
mile sector March II, continued their
progress and the position of the boil
sheviki is precarious, according to a
Reuter- dispatch from Omsk. The
Kolchak army has completed the cap
ture of Osa, southwest of Perm, and is
driving the bolshevik army westward
in three directions.
The bolsheviki are abandoning large
quantities Of stores, while the Kol-
chak troops have taken a large num-
per of prisoners and annihilated three
bolshevik regiments.
Seize Rail Station.
The CzechO-SlOvak army which Is
invading Hungary to stamp out the
Ibolshevist uprising there has captured
the Hungarian rail center of Raab,
cutting communication between Wen
ma and Budapest, according to dis
patches reaching here. Raab is on
the Danube, about midway between
the two cities, and contains large Hun
garian cannon foundries.
Yanks Fight in Snow.
With the Allied Forces in North
Russia, March 27.-The bolsheviki are
intrenching and reinforcing both their
infantry and artillery at Bolshoia-
Ozera and are endeavoring to hold
this important point in the line of the
allied communications between Oboz-
erskaia and Omega.
Sunday the Americans and British
attacked from the west side of the
village, and the Russians, supported
by Americans and British, attacked
from the east along the road.
Fighting under the utmost difficult
ties, the allied troops were unable to
advance beyond the line of enemy ma
chine guns, while the bolshevik artil-
iery maintained certain sweep of the
winding high road through the woods.
Fight Waist Deep in Snow.
Struggling waist deep in the soft
drifting snow of the forests, the forces
striking from the east found a flank
ing movement impracticable and they
were able to progress only at the rate
of twO-thirds Of a mile an hour. To-
day the allied troops were bivouacked
along the road on both sides of the
village within good artillery range.
The weather during the last few
days has again been extremely cold
and the Americans and others who
are living in Igloolike arctic tents, are
finding their first opportunity to test
these shelters.
They are holding the line to Omega
and Obezerskala. Their big guns are
moving up, drawn by American mules,
which are steadily plodding ahead and
conquering the steep. icy hills and the
deep drifts. The airplanes, equipped
with runners instead of wheels for
alighting on the snow, have bombed
Bolshoia-Ozera.
BoIshevlki Try Many Tricks.
The bolsheviki are trying many
ruses. In the woods where the allied
patrols are operating the enemy has
tied dogs TO trees, and their barking
on the approach Of any human being
gives the bolsheviki warning. When
the enemy first raided BolshOia-
Ozera, advance details Of. reds which
rode into the town wore the uniform
of the Slavo-British legion. Their sur
prise of the little allied garrison there
was evidently complete. Some of the
French escaped by walking for two
days and two nights through the snow
and arrived half-frozen within the al
lied lines.
Malcolm V. Arnold of Lincoln, Neb.,
Y. M. G. A. worker, is missing and
is believed to have been captured by
the bolsheviki. He last was reported
at Bolshoia- Ozera, which was raided
and then taken by the bolshevik
forces.
Poles Rout BoIshevik.
Warsaw, March 27.-POlish troops
have taken Pinsk and Gredno, it was
announced. The bolsheviki are re-
