LINE TOO HOT.
The British advance in the last few
days had made this section of the
line virtually untenablc and the Ger
mans were forced TO withdraw when
pressed by a new attack.
Fighting was renewed today be-
tween Bourbon wood and Cambrai
about Fontaine Notre Dame. where
the Germans were still installed and
continued to work machine guns
from roofs and windows. West of
here, at Bourlon wood and Bourbon
village sthe situation remained inueii'
as It was last night after the Ger
mans had forced tile British out of
most Of the village in a fierce counter
attack which involved still more
furious hand to hand fighting through
the streets. The battle continued
here today.
Back to Old Warfare.
The fight for Bourbon wood and
village will long be remembered as
one of the most bitterly contestd and
sanguinary yet fought along the Brit
ish front i'll France. American Of
icers visiting the Cambria sector
have been thrilled at this renewal of
old type of warfare, and with one ac-
cord ray:
That's the kind Of fighting Ameri-
can troops would like to be in, for
you are in the open where you can
get at the enemy with cold steel"
The Germans have been concen-
trating all efforts in the attempt to
oust the British from this elevation,
which is vital for the enemy to hold
il he is to maintain in the present
positions farther north and north
west.

BALLOON CORPS
SAYS FAREWELL
TO FORT OMAHA
Five Hundred Members of Sec.
ond Squadron Entrain for
Atlantic Port After Months
of Training.

Five hundred Fort Omaha bal
loon soldiers, members of the United
States signal corps, left Omaha late
Tuesday afternoon for IAN Atlantic
port, somewhere in America"
A large crowd of Omaha people
gathered at the station to say good
bys to the squadron members, who
had won their way into the hearts OF
many Omaha girls. They were taken
to the station in special street cars
and they left on trains Of several
sections.
Ready for Service.
Made perfect in the art of bal
loon work and ready for service in
foreign lands over the sea, these men
are the fast word in training which
they have been receiving for the last
six months at the local fort, the only
one of its kind in the United States
The men composed the second bal
loon squadron, Companies A, B, {
and D, with five lieutenants and a cap
tain in each company. Many of these
officers have been commissioned at
Fort Omaha in the reserve officers
balloon school./
Short Stay in East.
Soldiers in the aviation and balloon
branch of the service are sent to
Fort Omaha from every state in the
union for their final training, and the
men leaving expect to be dispatched
over the seas after a short stay III
the east.
Thanksgiving day plans in hundreds
of Omaha Lomes will be upset by the
departure of the soldiers, who had be-
come extremely popular with Oma-
ha folk. The signal corps, which en-
listed men declared to be the flower
of the whole service, are permitted
to dress as near like officers as posts
Bile, with the exception of braid and
shoulder straps.
Upsets Dinner Plans.
Hundreds of invitations, extended
to members of the squadron through
The Bee, will have to be resent, max
ing vast amount of work.
Everything was in a hustle at the
local fort Tuesday morning. The de-
parture of the contingent will some.
what alleviate the crowded condition
at the fort, where more than 800 men
are attending the officers reserve
traininn school.
Leave From Freight Depot.
The troop train left Omaha at the
freight depot, Sixteenth and Leaven-
worth. Although efforts were made
by the armv & rers to keen the move
ment semi-secret, hundreds of Oma.
ha people gathered to bid the men
final good-by.
The 41st regimental band, now
statiored at Fort Crook, was on hand
to endeavor to cheer up the soldiers
as wei as their fair companions, who
insisted on talking to the men, even
while the sergeants were calling the
final roll call.
