ALBERT ALLIES DRIVE BACK BOLSHEVIK FORCES Americans and British Exact Terrible Toll of Death - From Enemy, the Associated Press,) Thu Nov. 14—The Bol shevik forces along the Dyina, th infantry attacks having been repused, today were bombarding the Russo- Allied positions on the left bank of the river at Tulgas. The allied artil- lery is resisting vizorously. As long as the enemy gunboats are able to move the Americans and Brit- ish are combatting great odd. But the enemy infantry is no match for the allies, the Bolshevik losses in Kkill- ed, wounded and captured being at least five time that of the allies. In their attack on November 11 th ! Bolsheviki advanced to the gun posi tions of the Canadian artflery. The guns continued to fire at point blank range and the ground before them soon was heaped with enemy dead. | The allied infantry then counter at- tacked and swept the Bolsheviki back into the forest, where patrols pursued j'them throughout the night. The enemy losses on that day were ex- ceptionally heavy, while those of the allies were small. The ‘Bolshevik bombardment con- tinued on the 12th, but the American and Brit! troops repulsed all in- fantry s and drove the enemy back into the swamps and the forest. Airplanes obtained several direct hits on Bolshevik gunboats in the river. ENEMY STILL ACTIVE Sir George Cave Archangel, (By AC of Fngland Says Germany Has Cldse Alliance With Bolshevism.

Washington, Nov, 20.—Government war bond selling in the future will be along distinetly new lines. Bonds will have short maturities, and Secretary McAdoo explained today that by this meant from three to seven or eight vears. In addition, issues will be smaller than in the pasi, and probably will be marketed more continuously. War savings organizations through- out the country will assist in placing the bonds, Mr. McAdoo said, in more direct manner than in past liberty loan campaigns. The 4 1-4 per cent. interest rate borne by the last two 1es of liberty bonds may be changed, depending on other terms of the securities. Amounts of future issues, interest rates and time of marketing cannot be determined for another month or two, but the heavy over-subscription of the Fourth liberty loan, with a total of $6,989,047,000, or 16.48 per cent. more that the six billions sought, will enable the treasury to postpone the next issue longer than otherwise.
