AMERICAN SOLDIERS
WIN FIGHT IN SNOW
Drive Back BoIshevists and Make Ad
vance in Neighborhood Of
* kadish.

| With the Allied ARMY OF the Dvlna,
Saturday, Jan. (By the Associated
Press) American troops fighting des-
perately near Kadish have driven back
Bolshevik troops which made an ad-
| vance there. The Bolshevists also
| launched attacks on the Omega sector
| and bombarded the allied front. The
Americans came into battle along the
Petrograd road and in the frozen
swamps that border it. The battle
was fought in snow from two to four
feet in depth.
| American forces captured Kadish
last Monday after display of gallan-
/ Try that evoked the admiration of the
allied commanders. Special care has
been taken of the American wounded
and thess OF an American officer
! was taken back 100 miles by sledge
and then shipped to Archangel for bu-
rial. There were some casualties on
Monday, but they were small in COM
parison to those inflicted upon the
, enemy.
Barrase Stops Bolshevists.
On Tuesday, the Bolshevists opened
a terrific fire from three and six inch
guns and launched a counterattack
! against the buildings held by Ameri-
cans in Kadish. So hot was the ar.
til.ery fire that the Americans were
withdrawn temporarily from. the vii
lage. The line, however, was not
taken back very far and the new posi-
tions were firmly held. The enemy did
not occupy Kadlsh because the bar
rage fire from the. American guns
made the place untenable. Shells fall
ing on the frozen ground spread their
zones of destruction twice as far as
they would under normal conditions
Later under the protection of arti1-
lery fire, American detachments again
swept forward and reoccupied the
town. The men engaged in the ad-
vance were. from infantry and trench
mortar units. This morning word
came from headquarters that the
American positions are now 400 me-
ters south of the village. which is the
line marking the furthest advance
made by the Americans late in Octo-
Der, before they retired to the north
of Kadish.. Here and there are graves
where are buried Americans who fell
in the struggle that went on during
the first advance. There are not many
in number, but, for the troops involv,
ed. they giveevidence that the Ameri-
cans have been in the hardest fight
ing that has been going on here. The
Bolshevists are fighting more savagely
he-" than elsewhere to hold their po-
sitions.
The Petrograd road leads southwark
to Plestskaya, large village on the
Vologda Railway, which is the neemy's
base of operations at the Kadish and
Omega fronts.
Russians Hold Position.
Allied positions on the Omega front
near the village of Pechura were at

Vocational Board Is
Declared Incompetent
War Cripples Assert Funds Are
Wasted While They Wait In
Vain for Training

Disabled soldiers who have been wait
ing, penniless, for months to be placed
under the care Of the widely adver-
tised government vocational training
system are now demanding another in
vestigation of the Federal Vocational
Board on the ground that its chiefs
are incompetent and that funds are
being wasted while the men whom the
government desired to care for depend
on the charity of friends and relatives
This was announced here yesterday by
Robert f. Browning, field repres senta-
tive of the Association of Disabled Sol
diers, Sailors and Marines
The Federal board was investigated
once before. Some of its officials were
found to be drawing two salaries, said
Browning, and men dependent upon the
pay to be provided during the period
Of training are held up for the con-
venience of favorite schools
The Federal bureau, according to
Browning, has 1000 clerks, but no
more than 5000 of the lbs, 900 disabled
men eligible for training have been
placed in schools in the last seven
months.
eve have asked the President for a
thorough non-political investigation of
the board" said Mr.. Browning yester-
day. 1--WE have told Mr.. Wilson the
officials of this board have lost the
confidence of the thousands of men
who are members of our association
and who believe the funds provided
by Congress for their rehabilitation are
unWisely expended"

Dealers in Quandary on
Reporting Their Stocks
Request of Revenue Depart.
ment Anticipates Measure
to COmpensate Owners

Liquor dealers throughout the coun-
try have been asked by the Internal
Revenue Department to report the
amount of whiskey, wines and cordials
they had in stock on July 1. This
action is in anticipation of bill which
is to be introduced in Congress to
compensate owners of distilled bever-
ages.
Liquor men are of several minds re-
garding the step. If they report faith
fully the quantity on hand July 1, and
a government agent comes around to
check it up and finds a deficiency,
they wonder if the dealers will be liza
bic to prosecution for illegally dispos-
ing of spirits. Some liquor owners are
opposed to selling out to the govern.
ment at normal figure when they be-
lieve they can get fancy prices for their
product during the interim between
war prohibition and the operation of
the Eighteenth Amendment.
The Association Opposed to National
Prohibitions calls the proposed legisla-
tion to reimburse liquor owners tardy.
"Prohibition laws as they now
stand" says a statement, "were passed
without provision to appropriate
money to buy up the stocks They prob
ably would never have been passed if
such provisions had been made. Many
state legislatures would never have
ratified the Eighteenth Amendment had
it carried a clause for reimbursing
owners"

Douglas. Ariz. Oct. 14.-Merchants
in the towns and cities of the Arizona

arms and ammunition must first OBJ
tain a military permit. were relieved
of this rule late Monday by an order
of Gen ]. r. Dickman, commanding

George c. Rockwell district intelli-

in the border section who refrained
from selling arms to anyone not hav-
ing permits, while but a few miles
north of the international boundary
anyone could purchase munitions in
quantities only limited by their purses,
The order has been considered here to
