16 (THE BEE: -OMAHA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 19tl YANKEES WADE TUNDRA TO TAKE SOVIETJRENCH American Soldiers Put Bolshe vik Guns Out of Operation by Attack Across Dif ficult Terrain. With the American army on the Dvina, Oct. 18. (By Associated Press.) A trench from which an annoying bolshevik pom-pom had shelled our advanced positions for a week was taken today in an as sault by American troops after a difficult march and a hot fight The Americans debarked at dawn from a wheezy old river steamer within sound of the bolshevik gun boats shelling villages upstream. After trudging five miles over a , road deeper in mud than those in Flanders, through straggling vil lages and past a roadside chapel, near which are the graves of four Americans killed a month ago, the troops halted at noon to rest in the lower end of a shell-sprinkled , village. The little garrison of the ' hamlet had been holding off for a week superior forces, aided by a fleet of gun-mounted river boats. Here a runner directed the contin gent to slip directly through a wooded swamp to the flank of the enemy who was encircling the vil lage. Big Soft Pudding. The guides led the water-soaked, mud-coated soldiers single file mile after mile through the tundra, which one American soldier de scribed as a big soft pudding. The soldiers jumped from one moss hummock to another, across-clear, cold puddles, but plunged in up to their thighs where the hummocks were infrequent. The Americans spent hours in this frigid everglade. The sun was setting and the wind whipped the mosa-bearded trees as they reached ihe edge of the forest bordering the iroad'on which stood the bolshevik '"'trenches and field guns. The soldiers were picking blue berries as they advanced silently. The rifle of one of the men caught in the low-hanging limb of a tree and was discharged. All the troops flopped face down in the swamp water and were not discovered. Bolsheviki Laughing. v. Then they rushed quietly v across s a clearing to the next forest strip. They heard the bolsheviki talking and laughing. Behind the trees they formed a skirmish line within a hundred feet of the enemy. Suddenly they .vere discovered. The bolsheviki shouted, "Shoot them; they are behind us." There : were scattering shots and then came a clattering all along the line, the . Americans shooting hard and fast as they lay flat, hugging the ground they had cursed on the march, but which now protected them from the bullets whistling overhead. Then the Americans again sprang forward under fire to within 10 yards of the road. The bolsheviki attempt ed to hush them. The Americans fell back a few yards, firing as they went. One of the enemy ran into the arms of the Americans and sur rendered, while another with arms uplifted tottered queerly through the swamp in their direction. Forced to Fight. ... "Don't shoot, he's wounded," one American soldier shouted. The bol sheviki, who was an officer, stum- bled over a moss hummock and fell into the water. The Russian guides . of the Americans questioned him, but he begged all the time that the Americans should not kill him. He said he had been forced to fight by the bolsheviki. The kind-hearted Americans lifted the officer out of the water and then - dressed his wounds. Then an officer near by shouted: v "At them, men, they're scared of us." A smashing and crackling of musketry and machine guns fol lowed and the Americans were in possession of the trench and the pom-pom gun and other equipment it contained. Two riderless hories picked their way between the bodies of the dead bolsheviki in the road. One of the bodies was that of the captain com manding the trench. Wounded bol sheviki stood on the edge of the forest mubling incoherently. Others were fleeing into the woods on the American right, firing as they , ran. They were pursued, but as ' darkness approached they rallied and the Americans fell back and occupied the captured trench. The American losses were slight. Some who were lost in the swamps wandered about under shrapnel fire all night, but found their way back v to the American line in the morn ing. ,v Forces of Central Powers Evacuating Balkan Region London,' Oct. 18.

Is an- Cadets in Balloon Locate Cache of Hidden Whisky Observation balloons are proving useful in this country as well as in France and it may be that the Oma ha morals squad will employ them to use in helDing them ferret out bootleggers. Two cadets from the fort Umaha Balloon school were doing observa tion wnrk Thursrlav when thev no ticed two men in a small power boat in the Missouri river who made a landing near Florence. The cadets watched the men for awhile and then grew suspicious ( and notified officials at the fort who ordered two soldiers to mount their motorcycles and ride to the place post haste. When the soldiers arrived at the landing the men had disappeared but a search disclosed a cave where the soldiers found 138 pints of whis ky. The whisky was confiscated and officers are watching for the bootleggers. SUB SINKINGS DECREASE; MORE U-BOATS SUNK Summer Months Show Grati fying Record in Reference to Activities of German Undersea Ships. American Naval Bast., France, Oct. 18.--Record of submarine activ ity for summer months, Tune, July, and August, the-period most favor able to submarines, is now practic ally made up and shows two highly satisfactory results; a steady fall in the allied shipping sunk and a steady rise in the submarines sunk. This summer period, which has also covered the tremendous troop arrivals, is equally saisfactory, not one of the incoming troop ships be ing lost and every soldier being landed. Such losses as have oc curred have been on outgoing ships, mainly freighters. As the American naval convoy service has borne the brunt of this protection, the results achieved for the first summer are a notable tribute to the American fleet. Decreased Losses. The record of tonnage losses for Ihe summer will be around 260,000 tons, or about 50,000 tons less than the monthly losses at the opening of the -year, and 100.000 tons less than the losses in March. As to the loss of submarines, the one fact known definitely is that they are being destroyed faster than they are being built. But there is not the same exact data as to the fluctuations of losses, as these are carefully concealed . by the enemy and the loss of an underwater craft is much less apparent than on the surface. But a pretty accurate check is kept on those which dis appear and the new ones taking their places. The appearance of new boats in no way keeps pace with the loss of the old ones, which are crippled or sunk or mysteriously disappear as the depth bombs do their deadly un derwater work. Yankee and British Troops Take 2,000 Huns in Single Day With the Anglo-American forces in the Le Cateau Sector, Oct. 18. (By Associated Press.) The Amer ican and British made good prog ress today and the line was ad vanced to east of L'Arbre de Guise, 500 yards west of RibeaUville and 500 yards east of La Vallee Mulatre. The Americans are now driving to ward Mazinghe and the British to ward Wasigny, which they are Hear ing, but both groups had to fight all the way against a stubborn re sistance offered by seven German divisions. Operations were some what hampered because the air planes could do no work before mid day on account of the haze. The Germans delivered counter attacks at several points of the front and attacked especially vio lently at La Vallee Mulatre and west of Ribeauville.. The British Fourth army with which the American forces are co operating by early afternoon had captured and counted 2.000 Ger mans, while the French First army on the south of them .had taken well over 1,000 of the enemy.

FLANDERS DRIVE SHATTERS HUNS' DREAMOF POWER Forced Evacuation of Coast Humiliating and Ruinous for Authors of War, Says London Paper. London, Oct. 18. The German dream of dominating the Flanders coast has come to an end, the morning newspapers say, and they speak of Thursday as a memorable day in the war. The Belgian coast ports, says the Daily Telegraph in referring to the German withdrawal from the chan nel coast, were symbols of the enemy's U-boat campaign and the threat to Great Britain. The evacu ation of these places, it adds, is doubly humiliating and morally ruinous for the authors of the war. The Daily Mail says that by the rescue of Lille the British nation and army has been able in some measures to repay the debt they owe to France, adding: "It is equally glorious that the British navy has been able to rescue Ostend and to restore to King Al bert and his people the coast for which they battled so long." The Daily Express refers to the German cessation ot devastation in retreat as "another move to the Wilson line." "Germany's belated abandonment of the practices of barbarism is the outcome of allied protests," says the Times, "but it cannot be for gotten that hundreds of towns and villages have been savagely wrecked. The wicked process of deportation also must cease and the unhappy people already carried off must be returned. Beneficiaries of Troops Need No Collectors Washington, Oct. 18. The public was asked by the War department today to bring to its attention any instance of persons seeking fees for collecting insurance or allotments of soldiers who have died in the serv ice. Renewed assurance was given that the government will make set tlements in such cases without out side intervention, and that bene ficiaries who want legal advice may obtain it without charge from draft district legal advisory boards. Marseillaise Sung by Socialists in Berlin Amsterdam, Oct. 18. (By Asso ciated Press.) A demonstration by the German independent socialists in Unter Den Linden, Berlin, today reported by the Cologne Volks Zei tung. The crowd sang the "Mar seillaise." The police, adds the newspaper, prevented the demonstrators from reaching the imperial palace. There was a clash, in which some of the crowd were slightly injured by the police sabers. Trading Suspended. New York; Oct. 18. All trading in coffee futures was suspended to day by the board of managers of the New York coffee and sugar ex change, "pending the result of nego tiations with the federal food admin istration at Washington." mm Cash Buying Insures Cash Saving Quality Satisfaction Guaranteed EP LOOKING YOUNG It's Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young is to feel young to do this you must watch your liver and bowels there'snoneedof hav ing a sallow complexion dark rings under your eyes pimples a bilious look in your face dull eyes with no sparkle.
