FIGHTING IN THE OPEN.
And Cavalry Is Assisting British Infan'
try and Tanks"

London, Nov. 23.--Major General +. b
Maurice, chief director of military oper
ations at the war office, made the fol
lowing statement last night.
"We were able to give the Germans
a surprise blow at Cambria because they
had skinned this sector like they did
along the remainder of the line in order
to prevent us from taking Passchen
daele. After we took Passchendaele they
brought up division from the Russian
front in an effort to retake it.
"The fighting in the Cambria opera
tion is all in the open, enabling the cav
airy to. assist the tanks and infantry.
There are no German defenses prepared
in this sector, and their next line evil
IDENTIFY is beyond Cambria.
"The Ypres- Cambria battles must be
linked together, because the former made
possible the latter, and the men who
fought at Ypres deserve as much credit
fer the success at Cambria. Our opera
tions are continuing satisfactory.
On the Italian front the chances of the
Germans breaking through are diminish
ing hourly. The situation there is more
than it was a week ago, al

say that Venice is safe.
"We have, however, reached the stage
where there is every reason to have com
olete confidence in the situation. The
Italians have been enabled to bring up
runs, ammunition and supplies in ever
Increasing quantities and every hours
ime gained by them means more favor
bile outlook. The time is drawing nearer
When the Franco British reinforcements
will be brought into play"

There have Been Rumors of
Friction Between Capps
and Hurley

Washington, d. c., Nov. 23.-Chief
Constructor Washington L. Capps of the
navy, appointed general manager of the
shipping boards emergency fleet corpora
tion by the president few weeks ago
after the resignation of Major General
Goethals, will be compelled to leave the
post because of illness. He has been ad
vised by his physician that he cannot
continue at the work and his resignation
will be placed in the presidents hands
without delay.
Rear Admiral Capps probably will be
succeeded by Homer L. Ferguson, now
president of the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock company. There
have been reports of friction between
Admiral Capps and Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board, but they always
brought prompt denials. 1t is probable
that further reorganization of the ship
ping board will follow Admiral Caps
retirement

COST OF FEEDING TINE ARMY.

Despite the ability of Uncle Sam 20
feed his soldiers ~cheapiy. the old gem
tleman finds that he Is being pretty
hard hit by the high cost OF foodstuffs.

each soldier was fed at a cost OF only
i2is ent a day. But those days have
passed. II now cosss. according 20 the
latest available figures. % cents a day.
or an increase Of a little more than
100 per cent.
At that. Uncle Sam has considerable
of an edge on the average housewife,
because he buys his foodstuffs In such
large quantities that he Is able 20
obtain them at rock-bottom prices.
For instance. a sample allowance for
one soldier for a day Is; A pound and
a quarter OF fresh beef. a pound and
an eighth OF bread, two and n half
