BRITISH ROUT
"GEN. PAJAMAS"
Flees on Donkey, Aban-
doning Champagne, as
Shells Fall
lBy Csbls 10 Tho Tribune.J

Paris. Nov. 1s.-How the capture Of
Beaumont by the British conferred the
title of General Won Pajamas upon
Falstaffian German commander is told
by +. de Feuquieres in the Petit
Psrisien."
Eight days before the successful at.
tack of the British the baggage train
of the new commander unlimbered in
front of a Beaumont distillery, the
capacious cellar Of which the doughty
general had chosen as his headquar-
ters.
The picture of the Kaiser was as
signed to the place Of honor-the din
ing room. Beneath it his devout SUBJ
ject installed noble keg of Muenchner
beer, fanked on either side by the cart
ridge of a "155" shell. These emblems
were not only symbolic Of the warlike
spirit Of the resident general. but had
a utilitarian purpose as well, for
magnum of champagne was planted in
each she'll.
In this Spartan apartment the gen
eral breakfasted each morning in
paiamas he was in this simple garb
and his accustomed place when the
shock of the British shell rain began.
He had already devoured three fried
eggs and was contemplating a slice OF
ham. He beloved a command to his
orderly, an old Silesian peasant.
What beasts those English are!" he
shouted. "Go see if they are not going
TO let me finish my breakfast in peace"
Despite his forced calmness it was
evident that the general was not him
self. for as the orderly left the room
he deserted the table with its sizzling
ham and walked to the keg. He had
drawn a glass Of beer when a sergeant
rushed in unannounced.
"The English are masters OF the
trenches! The village is about to be
takenl" he shouted with perfunctory
salute.
The general swore like the Flanders
veteran he was, and spilled the beer
on his pajamas. Needless Of the acci-
dent he fumbled here and there search
ing for his tunic. IL was not TO be
found. and the concussion OF the great
guns had already given way to the
cracking fire OF rifles.
The sergeant opened the door invit-
ingly and the unkultured yells OF the
Hieianders as they clsmbered into the
German trenches smote the generals
ears.
Abruptly giving over the search for
his tunic, abandoning the ham, the keg,
the shells with their hidden treasure
and the Kaiser's picture, the general
dashed up the stairs.
Tethered az the very doorpost was a
fortunate creature whose breakfast had
not been disturbed by shellfre or High
land wells. II was lowly donkey, such
as carried fagots in more peaceful
times, and il munched contentedly from
a nosebag.
This providential beast proved to be
the means of the generals escape
While his pajsmas tapped in the keen
air and his slippered heels beat a
devils tattoo on the tanks OF the
amazed donkey, whose nosebag spilling
grain at every jump lent an air OF
bilsrity to the scene. the general out
Gilpined John himself, and eventually
arrived safe and sore behind his own
lines. 90,
The story was told By the Silesian
orderly. for whom no donkey was pro-
vided. He, together with the ham, the
key. the shells and the Kaiser's picture,
fell into the hands Of the yscteSs.

GERMANY READY
TO GIVE FACTS
Berlin Hints Deportations
at Some Points May Have
Been Too Harsh

Berlin, Nov. 1s (via London, Nov.
1S).-Deportatlons Of workmen from
Belgium have been made the subject Of
careful study by Joseph c. Grew,
Charge d'Afalres Of the United States
Embassy here, from the time the first
reports were received of the intention
OF the German administration to apply
compulsion to unwilling workers in the
occupied districts.
Mr.. Grew has been collecting infor-
nation on the subject from various
sources, and recently has taken occa-
sion to discuss the matter informally
and unoflicially with the higher Ger
man officials to get material in shape
for a conference which he hopes soon
to have with DR.. Won Bethmsnn-Holl-
veg, the Imperial Chancellor.
Requires Delicate Handling
The subject is an extremely delicate
one automatically, and it requires
adept handling, since not the United
States, but Spain, is entrusted formally
with the protection of Belgian inter-
ests. But the prominent part taken by
the United States in the question of
Belgian relief will, it is believed, as in
the questions affecting Poland, lead the
German government to show an under
standing of the interest the American
government is displaying in this ques-
ton.
The chief criticism of the German
plan seems to lie not against the gen
eral idea Of providing work, even com
pulsorily, for idle hands, but against
certain aspects of the enforcement OF
the general scheme, notably the appar-
emily unsystematic manner of selecting
and assembling the men for transfer
to Germany, disregarding in some in
stances the question whether they al
Itduy dIc ia DSAbi ~ ~
not belong to the labor classes. Mr..
Grew probably will see the Imperial
Chancellor in the course of the next
few days.
Will Give All Facts
The German government, according
to authoritative statements, will not
hesitate to give the Washington gov
ernment the desired information re-
garding the Belgian workmen.
The German Foreign Office under
stands that the American step was
evoked by various reports circulating
abroad regarding German action in
Belgium, and by desire to have au-
thentic information regarding the
measures to be taken in case such re-
ports should threaten to interfere with
the execution of Belgian relief work
and the collection Of funds in the Unit
ed States.

Bolstering Second Line

The Germans are working hard IN
improving the original second line IN
front of Pubieux and Miraumont, ap-
parently anticipating further British
attacks, which, owing TO their loss OF
Beaumont-Hamel, may force sudden
abandonment Of the other portions OF
the first line.
The perfunctory character Of the
German counter bombardments and in
fantry resistance along the Ancre give
the impression that the Germans have
little intention Of offering serious op-
position.
Prisoners taken, who were suffering
from cold and exposure because Of the
lack Of food due TO the line Of commu-
nications having been cut BY the Brit
ish guns, said they had received bet
ter food on the front line, when II was
possible TO get supplies, than when
they were resting, because OF the policy
of the German staff in trying to make
duty in the front trenches the attrsc-
tive end.

From a st.n Correspondent o, Tho Tribunal
Washington, Nov. 1S.-Organized
labor, represented by four hundred
delegates of the American Federation
Of Labor, heard President Wilson de-
clare to-day the policy that he intends
to pursue to "close up the riffs
among the elements of the American
people.
officials at the capital and even the
most casual among his listeners did
not fail to interpret his remarks in the
light of the approaching railroad con-
troversy and other indications of pre-
paredness on the part of employees and
employers for a possible struggle be-
tween them In the future.
Nothing alarms America so much, "
said the President in his brief talk to
the Federation delegates in the East
Room of the White House, "as riffs,
divisions, the drifting apart Of ele-
ments among her people, and the
thing we ought all to strive for is to
close up every rift, and the only way
to do it. so far as can see, is to estab-
lish not only justice, but justice with
heart in it, justice with pulse in
it, justice with sympathy in it,"
Justice can be cold and forbdding,"
he added, cor IL can be warm and well
come, and the latter is the only kind
of justice that Americans ought to
desire. ! do not believe am deceiving
myself when l say that | think this
spirit is growing in America. / pray
God it may continue to grow, and all
have to say is to exhort every one
whom my voice reaches here or else
where to come into this common move
ment of humanity"
President Breaks Rule
The Federation delegates and their
friends came over TO Washington from
Baltimore, where they are holding their
annual convention and marched up to
the White House in parade fashion. It
might have been just an informal re-
ception, but the President seemingly
regarded the meeting as important
enough to break a fast rule against
receiving visitors on Saturday after
noon-usually his holiday. But he did
not hesitate when Samuel Gompers,
president of the Federation, arranged
for the visit day or two ago.
The President expects opposition
from the Federation when he attempts
to get Congress to pass the rest Of his
railroad legislative programme, which
went TO the boards when the Adamson
law was enacted, but no direct mention
was made Of that in his speech. He sim
ply replied to Mr.. Gompers's eulogiums
and then outlined his hopes "to blot
out all lines of division in America and
create a unity Of spirit and of pur-
pose"
For, he said, he had tried to get rid
not only Of any "class division" in this
country, but of any "class conscious
ness and feeling"
Mr.. Gompers had said that the dele
gates came to pay their respects indi-
and collectively to Mr.. Wilson
as a man and as President of the United
States. The Federation, he stated, is a
ge-earners' movement 10 bring the
light into the lives OF workers" The
uplift of the workers, he said, means
the uplift Of the whole country.

Reach Grandcourt
Edge as First Storm
Freezes Marsh
RAID GERMANS
LAST DEFENCES
Leaders Declare Foes Po-
SitiOn Is Untenable-
Expect Quick Retreat

With the British Armies in
France, Nov. 1S.-British and Cana
dian troops won battle in snow
storm this morning. Advancing on
both sides Of the river in easterly
and northerly directions, they took
about 500 prisoners and established a
new line on both sides and at the
edge Of the village Of Grandcourt,
for the possession Of which severe
fighting continued throughout the
day.
The attacks from the south were
made before daybreak, while a stiff
wind sent furries of snow into the
faces Of the British soldiers as they
pushed down the slope toward the
marshes along the Ancre.
First Snow Of Season
II was the first snow Of the season,
following two days and nights Of in
tense dry cold, which hardened the
swamp Of No Mans Land after
nearly three months of constant
rainfall, thus giving the attacking
infantry fine foothold on the frozen
ground. They advanced nearly a
quarter of a mile on three-mle
front to the German position south
of the villages Of Grandcourt, Petit
Miraumont and Pys and occupied the
trench without great resistance, ex-
cept south of Grandcourt, where the
batteries and machine guns holding
the sunken Pozieres road checked the
British.
Elsewhere the Gayman trench was
virtually destroyed By the preparatory
bombardment, the surviving Germans.
including Saxons, formally surrender
ing through their officers, who met the
British as they came over the ruined
parapet.
Parties Of British bombers advanced
TO the next German line. which is the
last on the south side Of the Ancre.
raided the position and returned TO the
trench previously captured, which by
now had been consolidated. Infantry
detachments, working up the river bank
from the western end OF Grandcourt.
got footing in the ruins and craters
and took the lower end Of the main
street paralleling the Ancre, Of which
the Germans hold the remainder.
German Line Untenable
On the north side of the Ancre the
advance was made from the eastern end
OF Beaucourt. Capturing Holland Wood,
the patrols pushed forward to the Pu-
bieux trench, a part OF the original
German second line, and the end OF
which. at the river bank, the British
now hold.
To-day's successes give the British
command of ruined villages, fortified
farms and other strong German points
in the Ancre valley. In the opinion OF
a staff officer. the German positions
south of the Ancre are virtually un-
tenable, as they are unable TO bring up
supplies and reinforcements, while the
only available road is under lombard
ment.
A captured German order announe-
ing TO the garrison in the Ancre
trenches the impossibility Of deliver
ing the mails adds:
"Owing TO the British fire we can
not even bring up the barest necessi-
ties"
