BOL LSHEvIK PLAN
 TO ANNOY ALLIES
Force Numbering 1,2O0 En. trenched in Villages in
 South Siberia.

krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Sunday, Jan. 5-(By The Associated Press)- When trains carrying Allied forces westward over the Siberian railway reached this city, situated on the left bank of the Yenesei river, they found that Russian troops had been fighting against Bolshevist con- dnsents about ten miles southward. At kliuckinskaya, forty miles to the east, wounded Russians were found. These men were given aid by Cana dian surgeons and were brought here.
 According to a Russian colonel. Bolshevist forces, numbering about l,2OO, were entrenched in villages to the south, being equipped with can non and machine guns. Russian troops advanced against them, having been reinforced by troops from an armored train here. This force mum. bering about 800, was repulsed, losing thirty men, some officers being killed. The heavy snow prevented artillery rom being brought up to support the advance. In the meantime, the Bol- shevists in a neighboring village at. tackled and there were casualties on both side. The general result was indecisive, the colonel said.
 The Bolshevists apparently plan to harrass the Russians and Allied forces along the railway and may try to cut communications between east ern Siberia and the Ural battle front, to which Allied troops and munitions are being forwarded
 Kliuckinskaya has been deserted by civilians.
 At Irkutsk it was learned that General Semenoff had advanced from Verkhneudinsk to Misavaya There was some apprehension there as to an attempt to send troops further west, as the situation is uncertain aTIl civil war is general in eastern Siberia.
 It was said that unless the railroad is defended by American and Allied troops. there is danger that Omsk will be cut off from Vladivostok. There are no Japanese west of Irkutsk. A settlement of the con- troversy between General Semenoff and Admiral Kolchak is considered of greatest importance, if there is to be a concerted campaign against the Bolshevists in Siberia

 the working force at the United States armory here has been reduced to be- tween 2,6OO and 2,7OO, or little more than half the number employed dur ing the peake of war activities. Lieu tenant L. D.

He pointed out that the government Is pursuing a policy of reducing the force grad ually, having due regard to the effect on the general labor market.

Familiarity Bad Form.

In offices and shops where men and women work together, it is bad form for workers to address each other by their first names. Men should be care full to address woman workers as Miss
 -. Women should not fall into the bad habit of calling men by their last names, as Brown, or Jones, without prefxing Mir. It is possible-and wise to be friendly without being familiar or ndignifed.-Biddy Bye.
