Four Red divisions were confronting
him, the Thirtieth to the, north, the

and intent on flanking Petropavlovsk,
with its mixed guerrilla forces under
the renegade Cossack Kassirin on Its
extreme right. The strongest Red con-
centration, however. was along the rail-
way. Adjourning the usual tactics, the
Reds apparently were projecting a from
tai attack. This suited Ditrichs's book.
The Izhevsky division, composed of vol
unteers from the great Ural iron works,
were selected 20 beat OFF the Twenty
sixth. and at tho same time arrange
ments were made to let the Rods ad-
vance along the railway. Sakharov
himself superintendent the latter opera
tons, removing his own headquarters
only three hours before the arrival of
the Reds.
The Izhevsl<y, advancing along the
highway, boldly attacked the Twenty
sixth and cut up the whole brigade. the
remainder fleeing. leaving prisoners and
practically the whole of the transport.
The gallant Izhevsky was unable to fol-
low up his success owing to the lack
Of coordination on the part of neighbor-
ing units.
Prisoners have corroborated the whole

nine regiments each OF thousand bay

a maximum strength of 600 each Ac-

Control if Prices Dropped

Washington, oct. 21.-Federal con-
troll of the sugar crop was opposed
today before the senate agriculture
committee by c. A. Spreckles, New
York refiner who blamed government
interference for the existing sugar
situation. There is no shortage, he
said, although the supply is "dislo-
Gated" One million tons of the 1919
crop will be available before Jan. /,
he added, to relieve the present sit
uation.
Mr.. Spreckles said he would not
object to government control If it
would reduce the price 10 the con-
sumer. Instead, he insisted, it has
brought about an increase in price.
"1f the matter was left to the law
of supply and demand, it would soon
get down to a proper basis" he added.
Mr.. Spreckles had frequent clashes
with William A. Glasgow, attorney for
the United States sugar equalization

RETURN ROADS D
Walter D. Hines Confident
Government Control Will
Cease Ian 4.
HEATED FIGHT EXPECTED

Washington, Oct. 21.--Despite the
tangled status Of railroad legislation
In congress, plans for returning the
railroads to their private owners on
Jan. are going steadily ahead, it
was learned at the railroad admin
istration today. gt
officials of the railroad admins
tration stated today that they were
making their plans in accordance
with the statement of the president
in his message to congress on May 20
that the railroads would be returned
at the first of the next calendar year.
Director General Hines has publicly
expressed his belief that federal con-
troll viii cease on Jan. /.
that the president has the power to
legislation by congress, although such
legislation is highly desirable.
Railroad administration officials
are steadily clearing their desks in
order to carry out the presidents
proposed program. Pending disputes
with employees on the questions of
wages, working hours, ETC., are con-
fidently expected to be adjusted by
Dec. l. 1t Is the opinion in both
railroad administration and White
House circles that the roads will be
turned back to private ownership on
Jan. i, regardless of what congress
may or may not do in the matter Of
legislation. The legislative status of
the railroads Is in a troublesome
state, although Senator Cummins,
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission, expects to have the bill
for the return of the railroads taken
up Immediately after the disposition
of the peace treaty. The proposed
bill, however includes an antistrike
clause and this is bound to cause a
long and heated fight.
Members of congress will Wig
crously oppose any action by the
president to turn the railroads back
without legislation, but 1t was said
today that such contemplated action
might speed the work of congress
and secure the passage of bill for
the railroads return al, least early ~
the next session of congress.

Many enlisted merely to travel

were retained as soldiers under Mai
Bischoff. These men have no political
aims. Their sole desire is to find en-
