Attacking before daylight, under the protection of a heavy barrage fire Which cut the American salient off from the rest of the line, the Germans apparently completed their operations before reinforcements could reach them. No word in Pershing's statement indicates the extent of the Americans' part in the fighting. An ordinary trench salient holds between 25 and 30 men, so it would appear the little force of Sammies was practically wiped out.

That a "wounded German'' was taken prisoner, however, shows that a fight was put up before the Americans yielded. The size of the attacking force and German losses are not given. The war department has cabled for full details. First announcement of the capture of "North Americans'" was made by Berlin Saturday. It was stated a "reconnoitering party" brought them in from a point on the Rhine-Marne canal.

This would indicate that Pershing's men are on one of the main roads to Lorraine, where the Germans advanced In their great drive of 1914 and where early in the war, some of the fiercest fighting of the period took place. For two years OR II ti the sector has been more or less quiet. The principal point, war department officials say, is that all Ger-many now knows Americans are in the front line trenches a fact that Germany has been trying to keep secret. The German attitude is indicated by her succinct statement that "North Americans" were prisoners, not specifying that they were the first captures of Pershing's men. Having located some of the American forces, officials believe the crown prince, whose army is opposite the point where the Saturday skirmishes took place, may attempt to stage a spectacular attack' in the sector.

The war department is taking steps to assure further reports on engagements in which Americans figure, reaching this country from American headquarters first not by way of official communiques from Berlin. Secretary Baker's announcement on the engagement read: "The war department has received a dispatch from the commanding general of the American expeditionary forces, which states that before daylight on November 3, a salient occupied for instruction by a company of American infantrymen was raided by Germans. "The enemy put down a heavy fire, cutting off the salient from the rest of the line. Our losses are three killed, five wounded and 12 captured. "The losses of the Germans are unknown.

One wounded German was taken prisoner by the Americans." Counting sailors taken from merchant ships sunk, and others, there are now about 120 American prisoners in Germany. The 12 taken Saturday, however, are the first infantrymen from these shores to find their way to the Teuton detention camps. 150,000 IN IN CHICAGO, Nov. 5. Detectives were making a thorough canvas of the pawn shops today for a clue to the jewels lost by Mrs.

W. E. D. Stokes, wife of the New York millionaire, on a Lake Shore train Tuesday. They were said to be worth $50,000.

Mrs. Stokes was en route from Denver to New York. The jewels were in a small case, inside her suitcase. The last time she saw them was just before reaching Chicago. She looked for them while nearing New York and they were missing.

When it came in view, the gang fled into the hills. The train took the two coaches to the nearest station, and reported the affair. No soldiers were seriously hurt. Marysville and Oroville posses are searching for the gang. William M.

Bennett, regular Republican candidate, claimed victory in every borough today. With no strong support, Bennett has waged his campaign from the back seat of an automobile, making speeches on street corners. Federal agents who attended Hill-quit's rally at Madison Square Garden, reported today that it bordered on the incendiary. When the enthusiasm was at its height, Hillquit shouted, "Look out, it's dangerous to criticise." LaFollette's name was cheered repeatedly. Hillquit got his biggest ovation when other Socialist speakers mentioned his refusal to buy Liberty bonds.

IRELAND'S HOE ST. PAUL, Nov. 5. Archbishop Ireland's home here is being carefully guarded today, following the wrecking of a Catholic parish house here early Sunday morning when a bomb was hurled through a window, blowing three priests from their beds. The priests were uninjured.

Norris Hilquit, Socialist, concluded his campaign at a big mass-meeting in Madison Square Garden, where the crowd yelled "We want peace!" and where the names of Roosevelt, Mor-genthau and Dr. Henry Van Dyke were hissed and booed. John Purroy Mitchel, mayor, running on the fusion ended his fight with more charges against John P. Hylan, Democratic candidate.

He reiterated his accusation that Hylan conspired with disloyal Germans to aid the kaiser in America. Hylan's supporters, charging Mitchel with gross extravagance in office, also announced today that the "Mitchel fusion committee" had employed 1000 thugs to terrorize voters at the polls tomorrow. District Attorney Swann asserted he had statements from several men who had been hired for such "strong arm" work. FOR THE EVADERS SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.

Several were killed and sixty were injured as the result of three explosions of illumination powder in the plant of the Aluminum company of America this morning.

A fire followed. The plant is now burning. Fearing that 180,000 pounds of powder stored would explode, the inhabitants fled the city. The entire town is threatened with destruction. The firemen can not use water on the fire as the water will explode the powder, which is being made for "star sheets" to illuminate "No Man's Land." It is believed to be a plot.

Pegler, United Press Staff Correspondent.) AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUARTERS, France, Nov 4 (delayed). A few wounded American soldiers are in a certain big base hospital today. They are getting the very best treatment American nurses and American surgeons can give them and extra visitors. One of these visitors today was Mrs. August Belmont of New York, who made a detailed inspection of two base hospitals.

The wounded Sammies, with some of the sick soldiers, were at one of these. (Note: This is the first mention in direct, front dispatches, of "wounded American soldiers." It is evident these men were wounded in the German raid, reported by the war department today to have resulted in the first actual casualties to American troops. The United Press staff correspondent evidently was not permitted by the censorship to detail the circumstances. Only one wounded American has heretofore been reported in Pegler's dispatches a signal corps lieutenant, whose leg was injured by shell fragments early last week.)
