Make Winter Attack and Push Lines to South of
 Village of Vologda. SEVERE FIGHTING MARKS THE ADVANCE Casualties of the American Forces Are Reported to
 Be Very Slight.

Archangel, Tuesday, Dec. 31 By the Associated Press J. American troops yesterday re- captured the village of Kadash on the middle sector of the Northern Russian front, and today pushed forward their lines a distance of two miles south of the village toward Vologda.
 This winter push. which was against strong resistance, was under taken simultaneously with a move ment southward by the Allied troops along the Omega river. The Omega column rested today at the village of Gogoli.
 The recapture of Kadish was marked by some heavy fighting in which, however, the. American cas ualties were light. This village, which is located about midway be- tween the Vologda railway and the Dvina river. was strongly defended and the Bolsheviki there used the block houses built by the Americans and British when they occupied the town in November before being driven out by large forces of Bolshe- wiki.
 Beginning Monday morning with an artillery attack, the Americans ad- vanced across the frozen Emtsa river, where their positions have fo1 more than a month been located in icy dugouts on the bank. They cleared the Bolshevik trenches and machine gun emplacements on the opposite bank. The Americans theg pushed forward two miles to the will lige, fighting their way under the protection of Canadian artillery which was able to place shells al most at will in Kadish. The fur clad American flanh;ng parties in the frozen swamps bordering on the road contributed materially to the Ameri. can success.
 The recapture of kadish gives the American troops a good winter posi- tion in the block houses they have built Since the retirement from the town early In November the troop: on this sector had had virtually nc shelter, the front line being unable tt build fires for fear of the, artiller! and snipers on the opposite bank.

MERCHANTBAKERS
 TO HOLD MEETING
Want Grocers to Retain Stale Bread-No Price
 Reduction.

Several matters of importance to Bridseporters will be taken up at the meeting of the Merchant Bakers as sociatton of Bridgeport, to be held
 at the hall at 37 French street, tomor- row night.
 According to Louis Hilzinger, the regulations most beneficial not
 only to the health of community, but to a food conservation policy, Is
 one governing the return of stale
 bread by grocers. Mir. Hilzinger
 said today that 1t Is a well known
 fact that this country Is still short
 of food. and that the. waste occa-
 stoned by bakers taking back stale
 bread is shameful, as loaf of bread
 a day old Is just as palatable and in
 fact healthier than a loaf of fresh
 bread.
 Another matter of importance that dardizing of bread weights. It is
 believed that allowing one baker tc make a bread at weight lower than 1 another and the subsequent sale o1 tho bread at a lower price Is unfair competition. There Is a convention
 of bakers in Chicago next week and at tomorrow nights meeting dele gates to attend will be appointed The question Of standard weights fol bread will be one of the most i'm portant to be discussed in the Windy |, City.
 Both MT. Hilzinger and H. H Adams of the Adams Roth Baking Co. said today that there can be nc possible decline in the price of bread
 with flour selling at s11.2o per bar rel. with the baker compelled to pay | the freight charges. We are charg- l ing the same for bread now as we did when flour was at s1o.S0 bar
 rel" said MT. Adams, "and witt none of our other overhead expenses | including coal and labor, reduced | there can be no falling off in the | price.
 Bakers said they realized the need | of reduction in the price of food fol | lowing along lines of other after-wal | reductions. but said that all theil expenses were the same now as they | were while the war was at its height and that 1t WAS impossible to ever 1 think of reduction at the presen l time.

 ''Tha difference in views" it con dnues, lis palpably acute and cannot be glossed over. It is better not to gloss it over but to face it and to have our differences"
 Declaring that the Allies had ae- cepted President Wilson's foueteen points in the armistice terms and that these points were the policy of America and Great Britain, the Guardian concludes:
 If our friends among the Allies reject it-well. they will have to make their own peace and dispense with our assistance

FEEL FINE, SAYS
 DIVER Ex-MAYOR
William H. Marigold Says Jump Into Sound Was
 Good Sport.

Never felt better in my life," said former Mayor and Postmaster Will liam H. Marigold this morning, when asked if he felt any after effects of his plunge into Long Island sound from the Steeplechase dock yester- day"
 "The patented diving suit that wore in the leap was a revelation to r7c,' said the ex-mayor. "I had heard a lot about 1t, but I had never tried 1t, and although I was in the water for some time I emerged just as dry and warm as when I donned the suit.
 When l first struck the water of course I submerged, but 1t WAS only for a few seconds and I immediate ly popped to the surface and felt the current carrying me toward the out CT harbor. When I struck out to swim, I found that the diving suit in no way impaired my movements, and although I had a hard battle. I finally reached land safe and sound"
