SAILLISEL TAKEN
BY FOCH'S ARMY
Village Occupied After
Terrific Fighting-Ger-
man Dead Fill Streets

London, Nov. 12-The French COM
pleted to-day the conquest of Saillisel.
This village. on the Bethune road,
southwest Of Transloy, has been the
centre Of furious fighting for days.
Foch's troops cleared IT once. but the
powerful counter assaults Of the enemy
won back part Of the lost positions.
The Germans had chung for several
eastern part of the village. Only by
house-to-house and street fighting OF
the most desperate character could the
French make any progress in sweeping
the whole position clear of the enemy.
with Saillisel now in their hands
and Sailly-Sailliscl nearly free Of Ger
mans, the French are in position to
continue their drive toward Transloy
along the Bapaume road.
The Importance attached by the Ger
mans TO the positions recently won by
the French in the region south Of
Peronne, especially those near Chaul-
mes, received fresh proof to-day. when
another fierce counter assault was
launched by the Germans.

Berry and Ablaincourt bore the
brunt of the attack. Southeast OF the

brilliant counter attack carrying them
entirely back into the French ranks.
Evidently the Germans suspect that
the French are preparing for new
blow against Chaulnes, and by sharp
thrusts are hoping 20 prevent such
movement.
High military officials here are al
most unanimously Of the opinion that
the lul that has followed the sharp
fighting Of the last two days on the
Somme front tends TO emphasize the
point that with another phase Of the
Somme battle finished another and an
almost equally great move is about TO
begin. These observers believe that
the new battle will centre about the
Ancre, where the British have drawn
their lines together recently, and are
evidently preparing for some operation
on large Schic.
Germans Rejuvenated
II is n sign Of the times that every
one here recognizes that the Germans
have completely recovered from their
partial Generalization of last August
and are now fighting as well as ever,
with little prospect existing Of any
general breakup.
j. L. Garvin. writing in "Thc OBJ
server" to-day, says:
"There is not a particle Of truth in
the suggestion that the military col
lapse Of the Central Powers is near at
hand. Before yielding to the terms
necessary for the future safety of the
Allies Germany and her partners will
fight TO the last gasp. as nations have
never yet fought We must pile up
munitions, raise many more men and
decide on n more trenchant use of our
resources land, sea and air-if our
hopes and resolves toward the next
campaign arc in dead earnest. In every
war theatre in Europe that campaign
will be long aud terrible. and we must
reckon on the possibility that it may
not be final"

If the submarine ordered the crew

THREE MEN SAVE TUG,
HELPLESS IN SEA GALE
Fight Storm Fifty Hours Without
Food, Water or Sleep

London. Nov. 12.--The Berehaven
correspondent of the Central News
telegraphs the following remarkable
story of the sea:
zone of the most extraordinary voy-
ages ever made across the Atlantic has
just been completed by the Vigilant,
little American tug belonging to New
York, and bound from st. Johns. n. F..
for Cardiff. Two days out from st.
Johns. which she left a week ago last
Sunday. the Vigilant experienced ter
rifle weather. and on the fifth day she
sent out S o S calls. the captain
fearing that she would founder. The
Holland-America liner Ryndam picked
up the signals and proceeded to her
assistance.
"The captain and twelve OF the
tugs crew were taken off by the Ryn-
dam, which was bound for Rotterdam,
but three men refused TO leave. They
were the second mate, Robert Fergu-
son, Scot; the third engineer,
Thomas Walsh. an Irishman, and an
American fireman named John Smith.
Taking control Of the ship, these
three men overcame tremendous diff
culties. and succeeded in bringing her
within sight of the Irish coast, where
they were picked up by British
patrol vessel. Ferguson was locked in
the wheel house and the others in the
engine-room. The terrible weather
prevented them from moving, and they
remained at their posts for fifty
hours, without food, water or sleep.
Several parts of the ship were
smashed in the gale, including the shaft
of the dynamo in the engine room
This caused the tug to be in total dark
ness at night, and added to the horrors
of the situation"
The only tug named Vigilant men
toned in Lloyds is owned by the DAILY
Harmon Dredging Company, and halls
from Ogdensburg. n. \. 1t is 1923 feet
long and Of 235 tons burden and was
built at Port Huron in 1896 by the
