BOLSHEvIkI ARE
 AGAIN REFUSED
Attack Allied Railway At Two Places Retire With
 Heavy Losses.

Archarge1, Tuesday, April 1-(By The Associated Press) - Bolsh heviki forces again attacked the Allied posi- tions along the railway near Odozer- skaia and also made an assault against the lines east of Bolsh oia Ozera yesterday, but at both places were repuIsed. Along the railway front the enemy struck from the right flank, but was met by such a severe fire from machine guns and artillery that he speedily retired with heavy losses.
 In the attack near Bolshoia Ozera the Bolsheviki succeeded for a short time in cutting telephonic communi- cation to the Allied outposts along the front at point about two miles east of that village and 12 miles west of Odozerskaia, but were later driven off
 The enemy is apparently striving to take OdOzerskafa before the thaw which isr apidly approaching makes the roads impossible and compels him to withdraw from BoIshoia Ozera which is rapidly approaching makes vik base, with which it is connected only by a winter road which Is vir- tualIy useless in the spring.
 Along the Ovina and Dwina fronts the situation is reported unchanged.

CHAPTER xxx.
A Struggle in the Dark.

He came back with the lantern in his hand, mere tin box containing a can dle, the dim flame visible through nu- merous pUnctures. Neither of us spoke until my hand was on the companion door ready to slide it open.
 "I'T not be long below" said sober -ly. Better go forward and see that your lookout men are awake, and then come back here"
 The port stateroom I had not pre- viously entered because of a locked door. I determined on breaking in here. There was no key in the lock, and the stout door resisted by efforts.

As the door yielded a sharp cry assailed me from within. It came forth so sud- denly and with so wild an accent stepped blindly backward in fright, my foot Oyerturning the lantern, which, with q single flicker of the candle, went out. In that last gleam I saw a dim, grOtesque outline fronting me. Then, in the darkness, gleamed two green, menacing eyes, growing steadily larger, nearer, as 1 stared at them in horror. Was it man or beast? Devil from hell, or some crazed human against whom I must battle for life? The green eyes glared into my face. I lifted my hand toward him, and tOuched-hair! Ny antagonist was a giant African ape.
 Even as the big apes grip caught me, ripping through jacket sleeve to the flesh, I realized my great peril, but l was no longer paralyzed with fear, helpless before the unknown. I drove my hatChet straight between those two. gleaming eyes. The brute staggered back, dragging me with him. His humanlike cry of pain ended in a snarl, but, brief as the respite proved, 1t gave me grip on his under jaw and an opportunity to drive my weapon twice more against the hairy face. The pain served only to madden the beast, and before I could wrench free he had me clutched in an iron grip, my jacket torn into shreds. His jaws snapped at my face, but I had such purchase as to prevent their touching me, and mindless of the claws tearing at my flesh l forced the animals head back until the neck cracked and the lips gave vent to a wild scream of agony. dared not let go; dared not relax for

Sues to Collect For Boarding Group
 of 21 Soldiers

An effort to collect money for the board of soldiers sent to work in the Stamford Rolling Mills last au- tumn resulted in a suit being brought by Clarence Goodman of Stamford against the Rolling Mills, which ac- tion was tried today before Judge Booth and a jury in the Common Pleas court. Goodman declares the soldiers were sent to him by the R Rolling Mills but the defendant com pany claims it did not assume re- sponsibility for the board of the men. Damages of $1,OO0 are asked by Good mann.
 It is alleged chat the government sent 100 soldiers to Stamford to work at a time when the munitions plants needed additional help. These were limited service men who were station ed in camps near New York. After the armistice was signed the soldiers were sent back to the camps and Good mann says he was not paid for the board he furnished the 21 men who lodged with him. It was expected that verdict would be reached late this afternoon.
