UNPRECEDENTED FLOODS SWEEP
 SOUTH STATES
Swollen Rivers Cause Heavy Property Loss
 Five Killed.
Cause

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 12-Unprece- dented floods in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, that started early in today, but rivers not greatly affect cd during the first two or three days were out of hanks and causing heavy property loss. This was particular ly true around Montgomery, where the swollen Alabama had almost par aiyzed the city's industries and so- cial life without doing great damage to the Alabama capital itseIr.
 Floods of the last week have been so widespread that no detailed esti- mates of loss have become available, but compilation of various reports indicates they will total several mill lion dollars.
 Probably the worst effects of the flood anywhere today were felt in Montgomery. where street car service was suspended because of lack of cur rent and schools were closed to save electricity and water. Many persons were marooned around the city, but only five lives were lost, according to available reports, and the toll Of hu- man life was generally small through the three states, probably not amount ing to more than a score in all. Train service was badly demora1- ized in lower Alabama Mississippi and GeoTgia, but from Hatttesburg came reports that some trains would be resumed druing the day.

Allied Defense Sends Reds to the Woods

The bolsheviki continued their offensive against the new allied positions along hhe Dvina. mo- tably at Tulgas. but were every where thrown back with heavy losses. On February 4, however, the Soviet troops began a bom- bardment of the town of Vista vkR. the new allied stronghold early in the morning and kept 1t up until 8 o'clock in the afternoon, when their infantry launched an attack.
 The allied soldiers were by this time thoroughly rested after the retirement from Shenkursk, and they gave the Reds a pretty right. They poured so heavy an artil- lery and machine gun fire into the bolsheviki ranks that the latter broke and the Reds fled to the woods.
 On the same day the "Bolshies" began an assault against the Pi- mega. River front, to the south east Of Archangel. and forced the allies to retire. but failed to dis lodge them from the town of Pi- mega.
 On February 2 the allied troops

New Advance Begun Up the River Pinega

On November 2S the allies be- gan a new advance up the Pinga river, which joins the Dvina 50 miles above Archangel. March ing over frozen swamps and snow- covered roads, the Tanks and Rus sians took many bOlsheviki pris- Oners and by December 1 had cap tured the towns of Shetagorskoi, 120 miles from Pinega. By this time the whole western end of the Republic of the North was under allied control.
 Then followed another operation which had for its objective the capture of Vologda. A force of Siberian and Czecho-SlOvak troops were moving on Vologda from the Ural mountains front to the east, and the American Operatoin was timed to be in conjunction with it.

Base Established at Mouth of the Voga

On October 16 the American Russian force repu1sed another heavy attack and carried out an advance along the Dvina to the point where it meets the River Vaga. Here base was establish ed and the troops pushed on up the Vaga toward the city of Shen- kursk, 190 miles south of Arch angel. The enemy retired to Ko- tlas, 75 miles southeast.
 Another battle took place <at Ugor, in Tologda province, and the Bolsheviki were driven from the town.
 Everywhere they went the Americans found the peasants on the verge of starvation, and re- joicing at their arrival. Great fear prevailed lest the Ibolshe- wiki come back and renew their reign of terror. The ever-present American Red Cross sent a ship load of food and other supplies into the district and relieved con- ditions to some extent.
 The Bolsheviki then began to entrench themselves along the Dvina, and on October 19 they forced the allies to withdraw for six miles, But another American force then started a movement southward along the Omega river, which is about 70 miles west of the Dvina, to outflank the soviet forces. This forced another re- treat of the Reds, and the Ameri- cans, together with a British de- tachment, captured the city of Shenkursk, on the Vaga, Oc- tober 30.
 Here they were reinforced by considerable numbers of Russian tribesmen. On November 15 the bolsheviki opened a heavy bom- bardment of the allied lines along the Dyina, but the allies replied so effectively that the Reds suf- fered heavy casualties.
 Winter now set in and the
 country became frozen up, so
 that military operations went
 forward under difficulties.
 The Dvina became blocked with ice, and the Reds were forced to withdraw their gunboats and abandon their efforts to drive the Americans back down the Dvina. Snow and ice hemmed in the Tanks and British between the rivers Vaga and Dvina and sep arated them from the bolsheviki.

 Along the vaga the allies have been strengthening their positions during the Judd, in expectation of renewed infantry attacks. Along the Vologdo railway the Soviet artillery attempted something new on March II by opening a night bombardment, which was without serious effect.
 On March 15 the bolsheviki made an attempt to cut the allied line of communicatNoI between the Dvina and the vaga. but the effort failed. The Reds lost 57 killed and four prisoners, while the only casualty suffered by the allies was enc man wounded.
 On March IS in an advance of 500 BOlsheviki near Plesetskai. French and Russians were driven from Bolshoia 0zera. between Dvina and Omega sectors. Along the Vologda Railway and on the Dvina front. Americans and allies defeated bolsheviki forces.
