(By Associ ated Press.) Bolshevik forces again attacked the allied positions 'along the railway' near Odezerskaia and also made an assault against the lines east of Bolshoia Ozera yes terday, but at both places were re pulsed. . x Along the railway front the ene my struck from the right flank, but was met with such a severe fife from machine guns and artillery that he speedily retired with heavy losses. In the attack near Bolsheia Ozera the bolsheviki succeeded for a short time in cutting telephonic communication to the allied out posts along the front, but were later driven' off.

Along the Dvina and Vega fronts the situation is reported unchanged.
