Fairchild Sons FUNERAL DIRECTORS 86 Lefferts Place AMERICANS HOLD MANY VILLAGES ON RUSSIAN FRONT Advance 75 Miles Along the Dvina-Occupy Some Impor- tant Towns.

(By the Associated Press.) Archangel, Monday, September 30 (by the Associated Press)-American, British, Russian and French troops tooccupy villages on both banks of the Dvina River to a point 125 miles north of Kotlas, in the Government of Vologda. They have advanced 75 miles in the past two weeks and they are now about 375 miles southeast of Archangel. The river is blocked further south by Bolshevik mines and barges which have been sunk in the channel. Up the Vaga River, however, progress is unobstructed and Americans are among the forces occupying the important towns of Shenkursk. The aurora borealis is already flaming in the northern skies.

In their advance up the Dvina, the land forces have met with virtually no resistance since September 21, when the Americans were subjected to heavy machine gun fire for five hours at Seltsko. Despite losses, they held their unsheltered position until the river fleet came to their aid. The Americans then captured the town. Since then it has been a case, of finding the Bolsheviki who are believed to be somewhere above the closed channel of the Dvina. The thin line of American troops is holding villages amid the woods and muddy rye fields which thickly dot the Dina region.

North of Beresneskaya, which is near the confluence of the Dvina and Vaga Rivers, villages had not been molested by the Bolsheviki in their flight from Archangel. They fled so fast that they did not stop anywhere until Moscow halted them at Beresneskaya with an imperative demand to make a stand. Villages south of that point suffered heavily. There were executions and depredations committed, and when the Allies arrived they were gvien a hearty welcome. The Bolsheviki took.

from Archangel the best fast Mississippi of passenger boats, leaving the Allies an odd collection of craft, which is doing splendid service agains the faster vessels in command of the enemy.

FIND CONSPIRACY TO MULCT BROOKLYNITE Two Men Indicted in Binghamton After Civil Action Brought by G. S. Ackley. (Special to The Eagle.) Binghamton, N. October 2- As the result of a civil action brought by G.

S. Ackley of Brooklyn against Frederick C. Parsons in the Supreme Court here, Parsons has been found guilty forgery and is under sentence of from two to five years in State prison, and Benjamin B. McFadden, a manufacturer, has been indicted for perjury, while both MeFadden and Parsons have been indicted for conspiracy. Parsons purchased some real estate from Ackley who deals in Brooklyn and Binghamton lands, agreeing to pay a balance of several thousand dollars at a given time.

Parsons failed to make the payment and when sued by Ackley presented a letter purported to have been signed by Ackley giving him an extension of time. This Ackley declared a forgery and won the civil case. The court directed the Grand Jury to investigate the evidence in the Ackley, Parsons case, and this in turn resulted in an indictment and subsequent conviction of Parsons for forgery. On the criminal trial McFadden was a witness for Parsons and testified to certain alleged facts which the Grand Jury believes to be untrue and the jury finds evidence of a conspiracy to mulct Ackley. Both Parsons and McFadden have been held under bail for trial.
