to the front of us, and who could
tell but enemy to the back Of
us?"
Our communication line from
the railroad front to Archangel
was unprotected, and it measured
100 miles.
The Dvina column was worse
off than we were.
Instead of TWO columns, as
planned by our strategiStS in Arch
angel, it was necessary for SIX
to be established, indeed, the
number might properly be set at
SEVEN!
Americans Spread Out
From the railroad column to
the Dvina column there were
miles upon miles-hundredS Of
mileS-of territory where de-
tached groups of Americans were
spread out. No communication
between these little detachments.
Their stations really would be
undefended in case of real attack.
There were so many chances for
rear movements by the Bolo that
they were uncountable.
We knew that had conditions
been reversed we would have
wiped out the Bolsheviki. But
the Bolsheviki did not wipe us
out, and perhaps it will always
remain a mystery why they did
not.
When John Bolo had halted
the advance of the French on the
railroad front, he had shown
signs of pulling himself together.
An attack was expected by the
Americans who took over the
front line from the French.
Although we had had a grave
lesson impressed upon us as we
studied our general situation at
Obozerakaia, our commanding Of
ficers in Archangel tossed out
our observations and opinions as
unworthy of consideration.
Get busy! Attack! This is OF
FENSIVE warfare, NOT defensive
warfare!"
The word came from the swivel
chair strategists Of Archangel'
and with it plans for an attack,
conceived on paper, by officers in
Archangel, SOME OF WHOM
HAD NEVER BEEN OUT OF
THAT CITY!
The Americans attacked. At
Verst 466 we struck at the Boil
Sheviki. We drove them back to
VerSt 464.
The Bolo counter,attacked. 1t
was real battling, and sanguinary.
Lieut.. Gordon Reese, a young
man from the University of Wis
conSin student body, was leaving
for the attack on Verst 466. AS

agement to him we're:

We knew at this time that
the Bolo base for his Army OF
the North was at Vologda.
Their commanding officer could
with simplicity send his troops
north along the railroad from
that city and attack us frontally
at our position just few miles
south of ObozerSkaia.
Ran Down Valley
One of the more important of
these highways ran down the
Omega Valley northward to the
port of Omega. At Chekeuvo it
is about opposite what was then
our advanced position on the
railroad. Chekeuvo and Obo-
1erskaia are about so miles apart
and are Joined by a road. Some
II miles west of ObozerSkaia was
the village of BolShie OZerki.
There was a road which led
from the enemy lines into this
village.
A few platoonS of Americans
were at omega to protect Archan-
gel from the west, and to keep
open the Omega -Chekeuvo- -Bolshie
Ozerki- Oberskaia communication
line, which was linked to Arch
angel from Obozerskaia by the
Acknowledgements railroad. This
line of communication was the
only one linking Archangel with
Murmansk and the outside world,
once the freeze set in.
