WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-A call to
American business to meet unpreced-
ented trade conditions after the war,
is to be the keynote of President Will
sons message to congress Tuesday,
December S. The president is COM
pleting the message today and expects
soon to have it in the hands Of the
printer.
The president believes the coun-
try's industries can do a maximum
amount Of work only when there is a
minimum. Of industrial unrest. His
message is expected to emphasize this
in an appeal to employer and employe
for more cooperation, more confidence
of each in the other and less tendency
to class feeling.
In this connection the president has
formulated plans for rendering prac.
tically impossible strikes OF all kinds.
He will urge completion Of a-program
similar to that proposed in his last
message to handle such situations as
the recent threatened strike of the rail-
way brotherhoods.
Believing the railway problem as
important q domestic issue as con-
fronts the country, the president will
urge congress to give the most careful
consideration to possible legislation
which will aid the transportation sys-
TENS to expand and improve to meet
the additional stress under which they
will be placed at the close Of the war.
Abroad also the. foundations must
be laid for the coming trade upheaval,
the president believes. He will urge
congress to act Immediately upon a
measure along the lines OF the Webb
bill, which would have permitted Am
erican exporters to organize without
fear Of antitrust law action.
In addition to these, the presidents
m essage will urge action upon differ
ent measures recommended in his
message Of a year ago, and which are
still ON the list of the administrations

pected to include: conservation laws,
legislation for rendering fuller politi
cal justice to the people of Porto Rico;
a corrupt practice act; federal aid and

al education, like that given in the
field Of agricultural industry and pos
sibly laws giving federal agents more

also probably will urge continuation

uance or continuation Of preparedness

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Successful ad-
vance on front OF $500 yards was
announced in an official Canadian
statement today.
"On Saturday morning." the report
asserted, "our guns started q bar
rage fire against the trenches op-
posite the Canadian positions. Our

German guns began counter bar

weak. Our forces had fewer casual
ties than had been expected.
I'VE advanced on a front OF $500
yards to depth of from 200 to a
thousand yards. Our whole objec-
tive was quickly concentrated and
held except for short stretch near
Pys wood, where knoll proved a
machine gun nest. Our troops fell
back and established themselves be-
hind the crest.
There the Germans occupied a
trench. Our artillery cut them off.

yards, capturing a section Of the
Grandcourt trench, but we withdrew
because it was in too dangerous a

Our losses throughout were COM
paratively light. We took seventeen
officers and ASP other unwounded

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Three Of
fensives are now at the height of
their pressure as the European con-
flict enters its third winter. For the
first time since the war began the
military situation suggests continu-
alton of active fighting through the
zero months.
The Anglo-F'rench offensive along
the Somme and the Ancre: the allied
advance along the Greek frontier. and
the Teuton movements in Rumania, all
contain possibilities Of winter sur
prises. The principal unknown prob
lem that the winter may solve Is the
effect Of intense artillery fire when
concentrated upon the frozen trenches
Since the start of the conflict there
has been no effort to test the ability
Of either side to withstand an mex
haustible trench bombardment under
conditions Of semi-numbness which
winter enforces upon the combatants.
Hitherto trench fighting has slack
ened largely into a winter draw with
the factories in the allied countries
turning out munitions for spring op-
erations. Now the test has come

NEW LONDON. Conn, Nov. FL
The German undersea freighter
Deutschland made her second start
Tor her home port OF Bremen at 2:35
this afternoon, escorted by two tugs
which were to accompany her to the
three mile limit at the end OF the
sound.
To the accompaniment OF cheers
from the crew Of her mother ship
Willehad, the Deutschland slowly
swung out into the harbor shortly be-
fore $50. The great steel net which
guarded her stern had been. swung
aside and the sea-green monster OF
the deep slipped. out OF her berth un-
der her own power.
Once out into the main stream she
slowly swung about, pointing her
nose toward the open Atlantic and
with the tug Alert, alongside, was
soon headed for the open sea-.
Several members of the Deutsch.
lands crew were on deck and waved
their hats to their countrymen on the
Willehad as the Deutschland gathered
speed and started her homeward
voyage in earnest.
The Deutschland's helmsman,
Kleese. stood at the wheel. Captain
Koenig, smiling, and affable as ever
stood cheering and waving good
bye to the German merchantmen.
There was no secrecy incident to
the Deutschland's departure.
Early in the day rumors were fly
Ing that the submersible might sail
at any time. At 2:1O two tugs re-
ported at the pier ready to escort her
to sea and crowds were then soon
lining the shore.
At 2:4O the Deutschland passed
Fort Trumbull and was headed for
the sound.

The German merchant submarine

AT 2:15 the tugs F. A. Beckwith and
Alert reported at the submersible's
pier to escort her out to the three mile

front at that time that the Deutschland
would sail within q half hour. Captain
koenig and all members OF the sub

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Another Rus
sian offensive along the line from
Constanza to Cernovada Is now ex-
pected to increase the intensity OF the
fighttng in the Balkans. Military ex-
pert. here today agreed this was the
only step which could be relied upon

greatest danger of being outflanked,
if the German official statement
specifying near approach OF the Teu-
tons to Craiova is accurate. The
Rumanians are being forced back
from the valley OF the jul. Mean

mated at half million men. is sweep
ing around their rear, steadily lessen

of retreat so that its direction ap-

Unless there is q diversion some

appeared almost certain today that
complete evacuation Of the western
part of Rumania would be necessary
to save the Rumanian army.
This division, 1t is admitted, can
best be made by the Russians, be-
cause of the ease Of transporting re-
inforcements via the Black sea.
Hope was also expressed here to-
day that the pursuit ct the Teutonfc-
Bulgarian army thrown out of Mon
astir. would be sufficiently hot to
halt VonFalkenhyn. Berlin official
reports admit reinforcement OF these
forces. Meanwhile General Serailes,
victorious allied forces are hurry
ing on to- Prylip to which point leu

throw out his columns in a thrust
eastward against Negotin on the Var
dar river. Such a blow would be
menace to the Bulgarian positions
and if successfully maintained. forc-
ing withdrawal of the Bulgar1ans,
would open the way to further for

pedition operating northwestward
from Sa(onika.

 Mr. Marsh said that in view of the popular vote the president received, he thought the plan to popularize pay ing off the deficit would be attended with the same success with the same success as characterized the collection of the original fund, the bulk of which came from many thousands of con- tributors in small amounts.

 Taken by Surprise.
 Apparently the Germans were talk ep by surprise and offered no serious resistance except before Serre. The attack was carried out over a front extending five miles on both sides of the Ancre against positions which the Germans had held for two years and which they considered impregnable. t resulted in the capture of Beau nOnt.Hamel and Saint Pierre Divion with gain of new ground of maxi mum depth of one mile and between 5000 and 1000 prisoners, with 70 officers having already been reported.
 The positions north of the river were of extraordinary strength. Beau mOnt-Hamel rivaled Thiepval in the extent and security of it's dugouts.
 Fighting continues north of Serre. This latest British advance, in con- junction with that on the Schwaben- Le Sars line, threatens Miraumont, on the Albert t-Arras railway.
