T HOLDING THE UNE

INST United States Troops in Radish Region

Snowed in After Ten Weeks of Hard Fighting iri ^wamps and Thick

Underbrush

SOME PAPER V RESTRICTIONS

WITHDRAWN Daily, Sunday and Weekly

Paper Supply Will be Un­der U. S. Control.

Archangel, Friday, Nov. 22.—(By the Associated Press.)—In log huts and wind shelters made of birch boughs, American troops are holding the line against the Bolsheviki on the middle sector of the northern front in the region of Kadish. After ten weeks of fighting in swamps and thick undergrowth the Americans now are snowed in and have bivouacked along the ice filled stream on the other side of which are the camp fires of the enemy..

. Under British command and with British forces aiding them the American infantrymen on this sector probably have had more fight ing and more hardships than other American units in Russia. The force has been operating between the Dvina river and the Vologda railroad through a territory of swamps and forests. The roads have been in bad condition and tfte only means of transporting supplies to a greater part of the front has been wheelbarrow shaped carts drawn by sturdy Russian ponies.

The campaign began early in August when the British and French entered Seletskoe, a large village about midway between the Dvina and the railroad on the river Emtsa. They were forced to move to another sector and the Bolsheviki occupied tlie town only to be driven out a few weeks later when American reinforcements arrived. Since early iri September the opposing forces have battled back and forth along the road leading toward Petrograd through tiny five-house villages.

Seletskoe has changed hands twice and the village of Kadish which is near where the road crosses the Emtsa river twenty miles south of Seletskoe was captured by the Americans early in the fight­ing. The village now is in the hands of the enemy.

The Bolsheviki at times try the force of their "oratorical artil­lery" on the Americans. On two nights during the last week Eng­lish speaking Bolsheviki appeared in No Man's Land and made speeches urging the Americans not to fight. Great red banners, printed in English, also are strung along the enemy bank of the river.

American troops also are operating on the Mehrenga river fifty miles south of Seletskoe and in a more thickly populated country. The villages there are strongly anti-Bolshevik and Russian detach­ments are aiiding the Allies. On Wednesday a Russian detachment surprised and defeated an enemy force, killing nearly 100. ; ;

ARGUMENTS BARUCH OFFERED PUCE HELD BY Declares He Will Act as

President While He is in France.

Washington, Nov. 27.—No weight is attached by President Wilson to the arguments of critics of his plans for attending the peace conference that upon crossing .the sea he loses the right to perform executive" 3ulies and must allow them to devolve upon the vice president.

It was said officially today that the president will administer the duties of his office as completely aboard ship and from. Paris as though he were in the United'States. He holds that there are no constitutional difficulties and wireless and - cable communication solves the physical problem.

Secretary Tumulty, instead of be­ing a member of the peace party, will remain in Washington through the president's absence and. conduct the affairs o^ the Whit*^ Houses as usual. He will be in constant touch with the executive-and expects to submit by cable or wireless matter* to be acted upoh Just as he now submits them personally or by messenger.

Washington, Nov. 27.—Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the war indus­tries board, it was understood today, has been offered the post of secretary of the treasury to succeed Secretary McAdoo.

Whether he will be nominated Is an open . question. Without actually de­clining to serve, it is said, Mr. Baruch has urged upon the president strong­ly his belief that he should not enter the cabinet on the ground that his wealth, largely in government and other securities would be seriously embarrassing.

The ii! health of Representative Carter Glass, chairman of the house banking and currency committee, who also has been mentioned for the office, is said to have been influential in: determining the president to ask Hf. Baruch to put aside known ' objections: "• : For director general of railroads to succeed Mr. McAdoo, Charles A. Prouty, now director of the railroad administration's division of public service and accounts, is believed to be one of the men under consideration. Mr. Prouty formerly was director of Valuation "work for the interstate commerce commission and also served as member of the commission.

SWEDES ASK FOR MERCY FOR NINE

FINNISH SOCIALISTS

< VWl" h llN<<••»* * Cfc & i 1 A *

.m i r I i

Stockholm, Oct. 29.—(Correspond­ence of the Associated Press)—Social­ist and liberal members of the Swe­dish riksdag, numbering 153, have signed a petition for mercy for nine Finnish Socialists, who have been condemned to death or imprisonment by the White Guard for alleged re­bellion. They assert there is good reason for calling the recent regime in Finland a "white terror."

They were among the best repre­sentatives of Finnish Social Democ­racy. Some of them were on their way to the opening of the diet when they were arrested. No one here is convinced they were responsible for the bloody deeds laid at their door, seven out of the nine convicted hav­ing against their own convictions, and most unwillingly, served as officers of the red government.

Yrjoe Maekeling. a veteran advo­cate of freedom, is alleged to have written agitating articles. Eetu Salin, who against his will, was made editor St the Red Official Gazette, signed a proclamation calling on the reds to lay down their arms. Paayo Lep-paenen did not agree with the insur-' rection, and sent to Viborg where he acted as an editor, and for the ar­ticles he then wrote was condemned to die by the White Guard. Nestor Aronen and five others were convict­ed on the same sort, or even' weaker, testimony.

After careful examination of the rest of the cases, where sentences of from twelve to three years at hard labor were imposed, there is a most lively impression here that the recent regime in Finland tried to rid the country of the Socialist party.
