BRITAIN TO PROBE
CAMBRIA REVERSE
Decisive Result Not Expected
of Byng's Operation, Says
Andrew Bonar Law.
WILL SEEK WHOLE TRUTH
WILL SEEK WHOLE TRUTH

Nv the Associated Press.
LONDON, December iS.--The British
government will investigate the rea-
sons for the British reverse on the
southern end of the Cambria salient.
This was the assurance given by An
drew Bonar Law. chancellor of the ex-
chequer, in answering criticism of mill
tary operations in the house of COM
mons. Mr.. Bonar Law said that the
governments information was that ru-
snors concerning the Cambria opera
lions were exaggerated greatly and he
had been tempted to warn the house
that nothing in the shape of decisive
result was expected from that opera
ton
On the night in question or early in
the morning Dir. Ronar Law said the
Germans made different attacks upon
the British Cambria forces. The smaH-
est of these attacks having regard to
the numbers engaged was on the part
Of the front where. owing to surprise,
the Germans We're able to break
through. The other two attacks s6y
larger forces Were repealed with great
loss to the enemy
Accidents of this kind. he declared,
were inevitable in war, Even surprises
on misty morning might happen. for
which no blame could be attached to
any cile- MI BolliT Law COulu ONLY saw
The government and military authori-
ties We're determined TO discover the
whole truth OF the matter and to take
necessary action.
Condemns Government.
John Dillon. Irish nationalist. con-
demued the government for keeping
the public in the dark, and said there
were rumors that the Germans got
r,,f1 ,1,a ;st,
lines in the Cambria affair before they
were discovered He added that in one
village where transports were being
unloaded the Germans walked down
the street before the British were
aware that they had penetrated the
lines
Regarding the Cambria operations,
Mr. Bonar Law said that according to
all information available to the gov
eminent the rumors were greatly ex-
aggerated and in his opinion part of
that exaggeration arose from exag-
gerated hopes from the British initial |
success there. 4
Says British Are Gamers.
Summing up the Cambria situation
in his weekly talk with the Associated
Press, Gen. Maurice said: |
The final results in the sector |
showed that the British were consfd = |
cradle gamers in the amount of terri !
tory Wresteo from the enemy. The |
British and Germans are about even in |
the number of guns captured. with the |
total slightly in favor of the British |
in heavy guns. The British also are |
slightly ahead of the Germans in the |
number Of prisoners.
The effect of the German attack on
the British has been an enormous dis
appointment in England and the feel |
ing among the public has been that the |
enemy has succeeded in neutryaiizing
the effect of the whole British succesS
by the break through on a Compare
lively small area in the south This Is
the first reverse the British have had
on the British front since 1914"

ONE RAILROAD SYSTEM

THIN FEW hours the systems of the United wv States will be operated as system. The advan- Ages of unified operation will begin immediately but the full bene cannot be derived for years Improvement indeed must be continuous until the railroad is pervasve, within e limits of its serviceabe the post office is The government will begin immediately to see how much Service give for the money The nation has to the end of that plan by which railroad managers sought to how much money they could get for the service.
 Parallel single track ines may now when necessary be Effectively operated double track roads Terminals in the reaces and at the great ports will be for the ad vantage of all transportation Railroads will be intei gently linked with water ways and the two systems instead of lighting destroy each other will be cooperated for the mon benefit.
 Among the reforms to be immediately instituted will be a the pay of ornamental and well nigh useless railroad cuves of whom drawing pay than the Pres dent of the United States There will undoubtedly be level ling and levelng down. for the men who bear the actual burden of raroadng and less pay for the aed officials who cucumber the executive forces of railroad lines
 The compensation of railroad securities is doubt less but it is much better to commit of ment than of confiscaton
 Private railroad management has made business of Hscaon fSr many years But government management will Day for what takes The day not far distant when the gov will take the railroads completely pay for them m operate them ever after as the pooffiee operated at the cost of the service,
 The people will benefit in many ways First by the enor. improvement growing out of the unified service second

 The parasite corporation sustained by railroad influence will disappear There will be freer market for goods solo upon their merits and railroad avorsm will longer be poyed elevate enterprise and another Service will be as free big and little shippers as the post office is to those who it. whether small large scale.

RUSSIAN PEACE FORMULA

 much more definite than their earlier proposals. The Russian program of forcbe annexaon and decared and the Central Powers ofer subject by The Allies to the peace to their conquered ground return of German colonies definitely demanded Just definitely though by negaon the purpose Germany to retain it's hold upon Asace-Lorrainei is affirmed
 The principle of mutual rade without economic reprisas after the also clearly defined and the status subject peoples IS set outside the of international adjustment These questions it is asserted be determined by each according to it's constitution and it's conditions
 The Russian differs from the program dent Wilson one main point The president demands of many responsible government with which In no sense this demand the German people establish any particular kind of goyernmen but America declines to deal for peace unless the Georman people, rather than the itaris absolutely behind peace through mediary responsible to them

RECRUITING FOR
 BRITISH ARMIES

Recruiting for an army is many sided affair. Three men are needed behind the lines to keep one soldier in a front line trench ready to go over the top. Men who fight must be backed by men who work, and ex- perts in all sorts of trades are need ed. The British &, Canadian Recruit ing Mission, for example, through the Inland Waterways and Docks Section of the Imperial Royal En- gineers is now in urgent need of blacksmiths, boat builders, carpen- ters, caulkers, dri1lers, frame bend CTS, heavy timbermen, platers, platers' helpers pile drivers, quarrymen, rig gers. rivetters and their mates, sea- men, shipwrights, shipyard machin- ists, and stevedores.
 This corps offers a special opening for service to men between the ages of Al and 55, and to younger men who are highly skilled or medically unfit for general service, but who are fit to carry on their trade occupa- tions. They are being enlisted for the duration of the war, provided they are needed that long, and their transportation is paid to the point of enlistment. Applicants are required preferably to produce references cer- tifying that they are efficient in their trades.

PROBLEM TO TELL WHAT MEN SHOULD
 GET EXEMPTI0N
Man Who Cries Loudest May Be One Least En-
 titled to Consideration.

Few people realize what big prob lem is put up to every exemption board in the cases of men working on industries vital to the war. Where will a man do the most good, as a soldier, or in making supplies for sol- diers?
 Many people have encouraged their boys to go on farms in hopes of ex- emption. They pretentfously an- nounce to their friends that the boys have entered the service of their country in the cause of agriculture.
 The boys, however, may know noth- ing about farming. and can scarcely work half a day without getting their hands all blisters. They are probably not worth as much as some raw-boned Pole just over from the old country Such excuses are not likely to count much. But a more difficult problem lis created by many farmers sons Their energy and ability may be worth a good deal more producing food fod soldiers than in fighting themselves It is complained. that many exemp- tion boards have drawn the line toe strictly. Many men have been taken out of shops when their places coulo not be filled. or only after long delay and war supplies have been delayed. Many employers want to keep or making money and hate to see usefu employees leave. They may exagger' ate the injury to production tha' would be caused by their departure The men themselves probably do no undervalue their own importance. I is natural that the boards should wan to be shown" It is of course tht simplest way for them to enforce th' law rigidly and this lets them out the charge. of favoritdsn. When
 man is doing work vitaly necessar! to the war machine. that is probabl! the place where he can serve his coun | try best. There is need for fearles
 and intelligent discrimination an eaci lease. It will sometimes happen tha lthe man who claims the exemption the most, earnestly. is least entitled t 1t, and vice versa.

KEEPING SAILORS FIT

'The hospital equipment of all the ships in our navy is of the highest standard" writes mother who was a guest of the Atlantic Fleet for ten days. and who reports what she found out during that time in the January Good Housekeeping. Since ships can not fight without men, 1t is necessary for men to be kept in the best of con- dition. It is equally important that no epidemic be allowed to break out. So every single one of our sons gets far more careful medical attention than he does at home. A slight fever or eruption may mean any one of a dczen diseases. The boy that displays it is Whisked into the hospital, Sick Bay they call it, to be watched. For cases of 8 communicable disease there is a special bay If case becomes severe, or if Sick Bay is crowded, there is only 8 little way off a float ing base hospital as complete as any on land, to which the sick boy isi talk en in wire net stretcheraand hoisted on deck by a great crane. The stret- cher is the length of a good-sized man |-is sort of like basket divided at one end for the legs to fit in securely Heavy tapes strap the patient in SC securely that in case of high sea or wind, there is not the slightest dan ger of his falling out. Four heavy cables caught in 8 great pulley hold the stretcher in a horizontal position where the hook on the crane is fast ened in it. I went from a battle-ship to the Solace in a stretcher and was lifted aboard with a crane. I never felt a jolt as I was hoisted from the motor launch to the deck, where the stretcher was unfastened, and four or derlies marched off with me toward the ward.
 There was more illness than I lik- was no fault of the navy. The Solace diseases-mumps measles, whooping cough. In times of peace this could rot happen. The men are kept in de- tention camps until it is safe to let them ningle with the others. In these days expediency makes it necessary to enlist men and get them on shipboard and into training at once.
 Doctor Blackwood, who is in charge, is a surgeon and physician oi reputation. After several days on his ship, studying him and his staff oi doctors and men nurses, felt satis- fled that our sons could be in no bet ter hands, though not for one second

 INDUSTRIAI.S FIRM

New York, Dec. 2s--While trading on the Stock Exchange today lacked yesterdays exciting features, railroad shares continued to advance on a further general inquiry resulting from the decision of the government to take over railrosd proverties.
 The gains in the active issues rang ed from 1 to 2 points. Several less prominent shares advanced still more, Chicago & Alton, for example, rising 51k points to 8 on a few sales. Rock Islands also were strong in ant1cipa- ton of forthcoming dividend action.
 With the progress of the session there came a renewed inquiry for in- dustria1s and equipments of the war division at average gains of point. Coppers also reflected favorable trade developments in Washington.

UNIFORMED MEN
 MAY RIDE FREE

Since the assumption by the gov ernment of control of the New Haven and other railroads in the United States, officers at the local recruiting station expect orders from the war department waiving the necessity for the payment of fares for recruits sent to training camps. It has been the custom, through an understand1ng with the railroad management to 1s- sue orders upon the ticket office of the Union station for whatever trans portation is required. It is; believed that this practice will be discontin' ned. and that hereafter all uniformed men or other government employees will ride without charge.
