Famous Russian Commander Meets
ARCHANGEL, Feb. 5. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Heavy losses were in
flicted on the Bolsheviki by the Ameri
can forces Tuesday and the enemy was
driven back in disorder from the vil
lage of Vistavka, on the Vaga.
The American casualties were five
killed and several wounded.. Many
Bolshevik soldiers were taken prisoner
by the Americans.
The enemy early in the morning be
gan a bombardment witti field guns
and howitzer and, under cover of a
ehrapncl and pompom barrage, essayed
a frontal attack with infantry In the
Arctic twilight at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The American troops, who
were rested after their retirement
from Shenkursk and were now estab
lished in a good position, poured a
heavy fire from artillery and machine
guns into the charging Bolsheviki,
whose ranks broke and fled into the
woods.
Flank Attack. Abandoned.
Captured Bolsheviki declared that
the enemy had planned a flank attack
simultaneously with the frontal move
ment, but this was abandoned when
the Vistavka attempt failed.
Chinese and Manchu troops are now
Included in the Bolshevik forces oppos
ing the Americans on the Vaga. So
far they have been held in reserve, but
the Americans are preparing a warm
reception for the yellow soldiers if they
appear in the fighting line, in view of
Stories reaching them of the Manchu
treatment of prisoners in the Baltic
provinces.
Yesterday's defeat of the enemy on
the Vaga, together with his failure on
the Kvina, typified the spirit of the
American and other allied troops, who
are fighting with the utmost deter
mination to hold their position until
reinforcements can reach them. These
defeats have considerably lowered the
enemy morale, but the Bolsheviki are
being constantly reinforced and, while
their offensive has been temporarily
checked, there are indications that it
will be renewed when fresh Bolshevik
forces reach the line.
Frenchmen Show Spirit.
Details were received at headquar
ters today of the bravery displayed by
a little squad of about 15 Frenchmen,
who were victims of an enemy raid on
the village of Bolshoie Ozero Monday.
Mistaking the enemy for returning
Russian prisoners of war, the French
detachment permitted the Bolsheviki
to advance close to their position. They
then fownd themselves suddenly sur
rounded by a force of 150 of the enemy.
Called upon to surrender, the French
men refused and tried to fight their
way out. Two were killed, threi were
wounded and six were unaccounted for
for a time. Four of these six turned
up today, two of them wounded, ap
parently having escaped from their
captors.
The situation is unchanged on the
Dvina and railroad fronts. Allied
troops were again forced to retire in
the face of Bolshevik attacks along the
Pinega River, but the positions of the
Americans at the town of Pinega have
not Deen attacked.
SECRETARY BALFOTB HOPEFUL
Military Intervention in Russia on
Large Scale Improbable.
PARIS, Feb. 5. Military intervention
in Russia on a large scale is not to be
thought of, declared Arthur J. Balfour,
Britisn Foreign Secretary, in an inter
view last Hignt. The great powers
were doing everything they considered
could be done, however, he said, in
dealing with what he characterized as
a most disquieting situation."
As to the general work of the peace
conierence. the Foreign Secretary de
clared all possible haste was being
maae to settle on the peace terms.
"Let public opinion be reassured." he
said. "The delegates to the peace con
ference have no intention of employing
dilatory methods. They are using all
their energy and skill to attain as soon
as possible the Just peace to which the
whole world .spires. That is their one
aim, their sole ambition."
Alliances between the various na
tions will not be affected by the .exist
ence of the society of nations now in
process of formation, said Secretary
Jbairour. He was asked the direct ques
tion as to whether the formation of the
world society would involve the abro
gation of alliances.
"The constitution of the league of
nations, he responded, "will involve no
modification of the treaties of alliance
previously concluded.
"As to the question whether special
coalitions of two or several peoples
could be formed aside from the league.
Mr. Balfour added, "the conference
alone can decide.
