ed in pushing back the enemy although
the latter was resisting fiercely.
Huns First Attempt.
This enemy attack was the first ser
ious attempt made . thrust the British
from the positions that they obtained
in General Byng's great drive of last
week. II followed a night of COM
parative quiet all along this front and
yesterday there was little indication
that big events were impending.
All day a concentration of German
guns which had been rushed up for the
attack, have been pounding the Brit
ish forward and back areas and a con
siderable amount of gas shells has
been thrown. The battle west of Bour
lon wood was still continuing late to-
day with great ferceness.

Turks Showing Activity In
Palestine = Central Powers
Ready to Talk Peace-Plen-
ipotentisries Meet Sunday.
(By Review Leased wire)

The Germans in a violent offensive
over the entire front where the Brit.
ish made their notable gains last
week have pushed back General
Byng's troops at several points. Espe-
cially severe was the attack between
the Bourbon wood and Moeuvres,
where the British line held under
its impetus and repulsed all attacks
north of apaume-Cambrai road. Like
wise on the southern base the enemy
drove through from Gonnelieu to
Gouzeaucourt - another two miles.
The village of Lavaoquerie was cap
tured by the Germans. but recovered
in a cOunter-attack
Other counter-attacks have driven
the enemy from Gouzeaucourt and the
ridge to the east.
Turks Are Active
In Palestine on the line extending
from the northeast of Jerusalem to
the sea, the Turkish forces facing the
troops under General Allenby are
showing considerable activity, but as
yet have made no maneuver in the
nature of a general attack Several
local fights have taken place. how
ever. according to General Allenby,
and these have resulted favorably 10
his men.
Following Germany's announced
willingness to treat with the Russian
BOlsheviki for an armistice, having
as its purpose ultimate peace, comes
the statement that Austria-Hungary
is likewise disposed Already the gov
eminent of the dual monarchy has
sent an official reply accepting the
present Russian governments wire
less proposal for negotiations.
Plenipotentiaries to Meet
Unofficial reports say that the
Russo-German plenipotentiaries will
meet at noon Sunday on the northern
Russian battle front and thence pro-
ceed by train to the German head
quarters at Rrest Litovsk to discuss
the Bolsheyiki project
The letter of the Marquis OF Lans-
downe, one of Great Britain's leading
statesmen, pleading for a re-state-
ment of the war aims of the entente
allies and favoring an attempt TO Sc
cure peace before the prolongation
Of the war leads TO the ruin OF the
civilized world" is still the theme for
bitter discussion in England
Lord Robert Cecil, the blockade
minister. and Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the eXchequer, both
have stated that the views of the
marquis were not those OF any the
members of the British cabinet. At a
meeting of the unionist party Bonar
Law repudiated the letter of the Mar
quis of Lansdowne describing it as a
disaster" while the meeting in a
resolution condemned the utterances
of the marquis.
Units of national guardsmen from
all the states in the country have
arrived in France. Some of the men
already are in training in sound of the
guns on the battle front.

BRITISH ARMY HEADQU ARTERS
IN FRANCE, Thursday, Nov. 29.-The
British virtually have completed the
consolidation of the greater part OF the
area wrenched from the enemy in the
Cambria push. The work accomplish
ed in a few days is little short of mir
aculOus and today throughout much
territory recently held by the enemy,
the well oiled British war machine is
running like clock work.
The famous Hindenburg line has
been so thoroughly punctured by well
built highways and tracks tina, the IA
nous. German defenses seem little
more than a myth. AS one goes about
this sector it appears incredible that
the labyrinth of defenses built at sucn
pains by the Germans as during the
last three years have not always been
in the hands of the men now holding
them.
German Artillery Weak.
The Germans brought considerable
new artillery into this region to replace
the guns that General Byng captured
but their fire is still weak compared
with that on the Flanders front. The
correspondent in visits today TO the
forward areas, found Bourbon wood
and the surrounding country under
very heavy enemy gun fire, with fire.

ternoon the big guns poured a deluge
of explosives along the ridge just
south of Moeuyres.
Town MethodicaIly Destroyed.
Graincourt, Anneux and FIesquier
and other towns are being me .hodical-
ly shelled and Graincourt is being
gradually reduced 10 a pile of bricks.
Cambria appeared thus far TO have es-
capped the ravages OF the artillery.
The civilian population OF Cambria,
after living three years almost like
prisoners under the iron rule of the
Prussians, has evacuated. II is
reported that trains sill are running
and there is considerable industrial ac-
tivity in Cambria but it is all for mill
tary purposes.
