 Archangel, February Big losses were inflicted on the bol- sheviki by the American forces Tuesday and the enemy was driven back in disorder from the village of Vistavka, on the Vaga.

 were rested after their retirement
 from Shenkursk and were now cs-

 heavy fire from artillery and
 machine guns into the charging bolshcviki, whose ranks broke and
 fled into the woods.
 Captured bOlshevfki declared that
 the enemy had planned n flank at-

 frontal movement, but this was
 abandoned when the Vistayka at- tempt failed.

HOLD COMIC SESSION
 LATE WEDNESDAY
Session Made Up With Score
 of First Class Vaudeville Acts. Ladies Are Barred

Montgomery, February S.-tSpe-
 cinI. in the house
 forgot the serious side of their du-
 ties Wednesday afternoon and
 held one of the old time humorous
 sessions that make legislatures fla
 nous throughout the country. The
 afternoon session was made up of
 . score or more first-class acts,
 each with more humOr than the
 average vaudeville show. but acts
 which could not be witnessed by
 the lady gallery attendants who
 have heretofore been interested
 spectators at that side of the law
 making body.
 The comedy began in the early after nocn shortly after several minor local bills had been passed, and when House Bill No. 1o5, by Mir. Oakley of Wilcox county, was called The bill is entitled. ITO provide for the control of venereal diseases by an ante-nuptial examina ton of men, which shall be done within Is days before granting marriage license, fixing penalties for noncompliance.H
 The fireworks and humorous side of the discussion started after several repre- sentatives had gone thoroughly into the subject of the bill, explaining the attitude of the government along this line. when millions of soldiers were called to the colors. The argument brought out all the fine points of the measure, and the argu- ment also brought out everything that resembled eloquence on the part of the representatives.
 HOUR OF COMEDY
 For about an hour the comedy was presented. all women in the gallery hav- ing previously been asked to leave. fol- lowing the adoption of resolution by one of the members. It was known this bill would create much discussion and women therefore were asked to leave.
 The senate side of the legislature had s adjourned for the afternoon until 10 O. clock Thursday morning by the time the argument got to it's height. and many senators, the lieutenant governor and others came to the house side.
 The minutes that passed were most in- teresting to the old members of the house. They recalled the days past when hours and hours were taken up in just such de- bates. After several amendments which would have killed the effectiveness Of the hiH of oakley had been voted down and other good ones added. Fauik of Geneva offered this amendment:
 Provided, however. that this bill shall not apply to hair lip and one-legged men.
 The amendment was declared "out oi order" and when the laughter subsided other amendments just as ridiculous were presented and declared out of order. The final vote on the bill was $ to H for It's possage The bill will go to the senate.

BIC FIVE" FIND LEAGUE QUESTION RESOLVING INTO
 KNOTTy PROBLEM
Small Nations Want Full Equality In Society of Ma tions and More Power Than Plans Give
 Them
By Associated Press

Paris, February o.-Al- though the five great allied and associated powers which are dl- recting the peace conference have turned over much of the work to commissions, the so- ciety of nations question, es- pecially with reference to the smaller nations, is becoming rather a knotty problem.
 The smaller nations. it is declared, want full equality in society of ma tions and also greater powers than the plans already outlined give to them The great powers, on the other hand. are faced with a situation that if each state Is given one member On a supreme court of nations, they might find themselves in the minority, although their interests might be much greater and probably would be.
 is not believed the great powers would consent to an arrangement Of this sort and a situation similar to that at the second Hague peace conference ap- pears to be in the making. The experts on the society of nations question are hopeful of finding way to get the smaller states to agree to the plan so that it will not fail as Elihu Root 8 scheme for a supreme court of nations failed of approval at the second confer ence at the Hague.
 COMMISSIONS AFFORD RELIEF
 The directing force of the peace con- ference, which resides in what now are generally called the "big five allied and associated powers, is finding great relief from the study of the details Of complicated secondary questions through tho commissions which have been created for these special problems. In this cate gory falls the subject of the conflicting claims of the smaller nations of the en- tente to territory which is likely to be taken from enemy countries. This aues- ton takes a great deal of time to study.
 It Is the design of the supreme council or ''big five" that such questions as these be ultimately adjusted in harmony with the principles of the society of na- tons it is explained, but pending the completion of the organization of that society 1t has been found expedient to ) claims.
 Thus complex issues raised by the claims of Greece, not only to enemy ter ritpry, but to sections also claimed by other friendly states after being stated by Premier venizelos, were referred to . committe of experts for further exam ination. leaving the supreme council free to take up other questions in the meantime. The report of this committee probably will not be acted upon until a society of nations is in being and the
