trench with the assistance of tanks and established their line around the southern face of the wood Resistmce Stiff The troops which captured Fles-quieres and Cantaing encountered hard resistance at the former place the first day of the offensive Tanks i led the infantry in the attack but thei Germans with the assistance of heavy guns held out the -whole of Tuesday in the face of strong attacks Wed-1 nesday morning the British again attacked and this time forced the Germans from the village after taking their guns Wednesday the advance -was rapid Strong resistanqj was encountered at the sunken road between Marcoing and Graincourt and very heavy machine gun fire from the direction of Cantaing and Bourlon wood The British however battles their way forward with rifles and bayonets and by noon had forced an entrance into Cantaing Wednesday night the advance continued and an assault was made on Fontaine Notre Dame The Germans battled determinedly here and there was very hard fighting at close quarters before the British finally drove the enemy out The British remained in possession of Fontaine until shortly after noon yesterday when the Germans made a very heavy counter thrust and again occupied the town However the Brtish were forced to withdraw only a short distance and still hold the ground from Cantaing to the south of Bourlon wood The story of the fighting at Marcoing and Masnieres already Has been told and this completes the summary of the operations berore Cambrai since Tuesday morning There was however heavy fighting to the north in the region of Bulle court The main objective here was the famous tunnel trench an underround fortification of great strength bout 2000 yards long The entire trench was mined as the British well knew and behind it the Germans had dug 1000 yards of support trench Many concrete pill boxes also reinforced the trench offenses Germans Nervous a Month For a month the British had been keeping the Germans nervous by putting down smoke barrages and employing gas The enemy had become so accustomed to this that when the British started a flurry of gun-fire at dawn Tuesday the Germane thought it was more of the same thing and they were caught unawares The greatest danger which the attackers faced was the possibility of the mines being blown up and they knew this must be avoided Accordingly they took along a body of expert tunnel men By good fortune they mastered the secret of the mines and cut the lead wires This enabled the British infantry which swarmed into the trench to prevent the enemy from setting off the explosives A hot fight took place in the tunnel Many Germans battled with bayonets to death and 400 enemy bodies were counted after the conflict In addition more than 700 prisoners were taken Further evidence of the German unpreparedness for an offensive in the Cambrai sector was obtained today in the capture of an order drawn up by i a German battalion commander the 1 day before the attack It was his summary tor a week and he drew conclusion: Enemy on Defensive attitude of the enemy clearly is one of This commander was stationed in the forward area and It is quite apparent he did not know what was going on It is also evident that the higher command bad no information or it would have informed him The Germans have called upon every source possible to get troops to withstand the British attack By raking many

authority of the Extremists now in control of the foreign office at Petrograd Three of the chief officers of the Russian embassy here resigned today to avoid having further relations with the Bolsheviki leaders now controlling the Petrograd foreign office The are Onou counsellor John Zookine first secretary and De Mohren-schildt second secretary Mr Zookine came to Washington with Ambassador Boris Bakhmeteff after the overthrow of the monarchy and has been the chief assistant Mr Mohrenschildt married Miss Nona Hazelhurst McAdoo daughter of the secretary of the treasury last May Both he and Mr Onou were attached to the embassy before the arrival of the new ambassador Write to Lansing In a letter to Secretary Lansing following the resignation of thrqe of the chief officers of the embassy to avoid having relations with the Bolsheviki ambassador said that the Bolsheviki government was not representative of the true will of the Russian people and that he would not recognize that or any similar government which would lead the country into non-participation in the nr There has been no indication so far as to what will be the attitude of the ambassador himself He is not in sympathy with the Extremists in au thority at Petrograd and has bad no communication with the foreign office but the understanding has been that he would remain in office for a time at least waiting for the situation to clear The ambassador said he considered himself duty-bound to remain at bis post and would do so with a competent staff of assistants While he expressed the belief that the true spirit of Russia was bound to arise he said it was evident that until conditions changed the embassy could not exercise in full measure its essential du ties and therefore he had authorized members of the embassy to find other fields tor their activities Offer Services Here John Zookine first secretary of the embassy and an officer of the Russian army and Ferdinand De Mohrenschildt the second secretary who married Secretary daughter last May have offered their services to the American government for the war against Germany Notes Made Public Petrograd Friday Nov 23 The text of certain

Bl NOTES They will reside versity of Illinois in Ft Worth Tex By Associated Press British Headquarters in France Friday Nov 23 The main attack on the opening of the offensive Tuesday was along the western bank of the Canal Du Nord which runs almost 1 due north and south from a point a little west of Havrincourt The main Hindenburg line trenches were built along this waterway and the British had to fight their way up the big ditch There was intense hard work almost from the start as the Ulsterites who undertook this task got in among the German defenses Because of the secret nature of the attack no artillery could be used to cut the tremendously strong lines of barbed wire in front of the trenches and the tanks were not operating in this sector Therefore it was necessary for the Irishmen to charge the entanglements and bomb them to pieces in order to force their way through It was a big undertaking for the Irish came under concentrated rifle and machine gun fire as soon as they began to advance but they maintained their reputation for valor and bombed their way with such grim determination that they drove an entering wedge into the trench system near Havrincourt Northwest of the town is a high bank on the weBt of the canal This elevation was strongly fortified with dugouts and there was a great concentration of machine guns The British had no alternative but to charge the position up the slopes and this they -did The crest was gained in the face of a heavy fire and desperate bayonet fighting followed The Ulsterites hurled themselves on the Germans with such fury that the latter were compelled to desert their machine guns and abandon the hill and many of them were shot down as they fled northward along the canal A large number of prisoners were captured in the dugouts on the hill and beside the canal This fight occurred at 8 Tuesday morning Machine Guns Give Trouble Meanwhile German machine guns on the eastern side of the canal were giving much trouble and British engineers built bridges over the waterway to give a crossing to the infantry The Irish infantry was then advancing on both sides of the canal with the main Chambrai-Bapaume highway as their immediate objective During the afternoon the Irish were held up temporarily because of the shortage of ammunition near a sunk en road southwest of Graincourt where the Germans were established in considerable force The ammunition came up and the British charged forward again The Germans then were firing with machine guns down across the Cam-Brai road Hand to hand fighting occurred at positions below the road but the Germans finally were forced to withdraw Dugouts lighted by electricity were found in the chain of defenses along the highway By 6:10 in the evening the Irish troops bad crossed the Chambrai-Bapaume highway on both sides of the canal and taken a stand south of Moeuvres This was the situation here at the end of the first fighting British Push Forward Wednesday morning the British pushed forward this time having the support of a certain amount of artillery Moeuvres was strongly held but the Irish stormed the defenses with bombs and forced their way half through the village Here they came up against a heavy barricade which they took with the bayonet and for a time drove the Germans out of the village In the afternoon the Germans approached from the east side of the canal for a counter attack but this was smashed by machine gun and rifle fire Later in the afternoon the German artillery opened up and heavily shelled the trenches held by the British south of Moeuvres Thursday morning the Irish were holding most of Moeuvres and the east bank of the canal In the afternoon the Germans delivered a sudden counter attack from the north and after hand to hand fighting through the streets and among the houses they forced the British to withdraw to the southern outskirts This morning the Irish again surged forward against the town and at an early hour had worked their way around toward the north In the Graincourt section on the right of the Irish remarkable work was done by cavalry on the first day The horsemen had swept forward and captured Anneux by Tuesday evening This represented an advance of about 7000 yards which is said to be a record for one day Cavalry Busy Two squadrons of horse cavalry accomplished the downfall of Anneux and captured it between 4 and 5 in the evening This place was found to have a system of catacombs under the church and these were held by the Germans who had an electric power station for lighting An elaborate battalion headquarters fell into the hands of the British During Tuesday night the Germans counter attacked Anneaux with troops which had just been brought from the Russian front A strong battle took place and the British withdrew Wednesday morning the British again attacked and recaptured it Proceeding northward the British drove the enemy from the trenches near the edge of the Bourlon wood This trench was so remarkably well camouflaged that no sign of it was visible until the British saw German faces apparently coming out of the ground A hand to hand battle began Later the British were forced to withdraw slightly because of heavy machine gun fighting from Bouion per 52ii turkeys heavy or light 16 pagers 16 i roosters 06 rlceu each 25 HAY and feed Ln'sh by Champatgn
