WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Nov. 17.-Afire with
enthusiasm, glad of an opportunity
to get out OF three years In the
trenches to fight an enemy almost IN
the open, Frances troops left TOT
Italy with battle OF the Marne
spirit.
Now that this tangible evidence OF
Frances aid to her ally has departed,
permission was granted today for the
United Press staff correspondent 10
tell something of the ardor with
which the French troops started.
They were like schoolboys on
holiday. I saw them arriving at a
village on the main line railway after
long marches that tested even their
war tried legs. They swept into the
streets. halted, threw off their heavy
marching kits and with never stop
for rest, began working like beavers
1v;t
horses. tents and other impediments
into waiting trains. They sang and
chartered and whooped.
The poilus were anxious to get
away.
One detachment outspeeded the
others. They got aboard first. the
engine chuckled with stentorian
withstand the train sailed out in
the first lap of the sixty hour jour
ney, it's human burden happily pack
ed aboard.
Not one minute was lost in back
ing in second train. 1t. too, was
loaded and started with vim and en-
thusiasm.
Then came a third-and the pro-
cess went on and on.
The most interested spectators
were a large group of German pris-
oners working on nearby side
track. They very soon learned from
the shouting French soldiers where
the loaded trains were bound.
If any evidence were needed on
Frances morale and how her fight
ers regard the war, the scene today
was sufficient. The troops had the
morale of the early months of the
war It was a chance to fight-and
to fight not from rat-ridden, vermin-
infested, sinking trenches-but this
time probably in the open. Officers
and men alike hailed the chance.
Havoc to Enemy Plans.
ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Nov. 17.-British artillery is
in action against the Austro-Ger-
mans today.
Manning their guns with machine
like precision, the British soldiers
have caused havoc to the enemy's
plans for an advance.
Observers reported great gaps
torn in the Austro-German lines by
the deadly rain of shells. At many
points the British fire has paralyzed
the enemy's offensive.
The Teutonic artillery is outranged
by the British guns. A wilderness
of mud along the front, coupled with
lack of adequate bridges, across the
| Liveniza and Taliamento, has forced
the enemy for the most part to rely
on FIVE inch field guns. Many OF
these have been silenced by the Brit
/ ish batteries.

REVOLTERS ARE
ASKING PEACE
Continued from page -

Judging from the first direct news
from Petrograd in several days, ar
irving today, Premier Kerensky has
dropped out of sight. One report
had him refugee in disguise, flee
ing from Bolsheviki wrath. General
Korniloff's whereabouts were not
stated.
In Moscow latest news indicated
great force Of Bolshevih troops at
lacking provisional government forces
barricaded in the Kremlin. This was
exactly the reverse of Moscow re-
ports of few days ago, when Keren-
sky's men were reported to have
bottled up the Bolsheviki in the
Kremlin.
Lack of food and supplies in both
Petrograd and Moscow was believed
likely to force an early truce be-
tween the factions. All of Russia's
railway workers have been on the
verge Of strike for more than a week.
If strike comes with its total stop
page of all traffic, thousands will
starve; there will be no means of
transporting munitions to the troops
and there may result scenes Of
anarchy beside which the street fight
ing and bloodshed of even the dark
est months of Russia will be nothing.
Further BIoodshed In Moscow.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Petro-
grad was still under Bolsheviki control
yesterday and the Russian situation
was chaotic. according to unofficial
Stockholm advices which reached the
government today.
Further bloodshed in Moscow was
reported in the dispatches. Lenine,
Bolsheviki leader, is trying to raise
funds to push the revolt. One Petro-
grad bank closed its doors when he
tried to cash check for 1O0, 900, 600
rubles (about $4,000 000) said Finnish
rumors.
A committee of soldiers and work
mems delegates in Finland are threat
ening an uprising, according to an
other report. The workmen have TAX
en- over the telegraph stations and
traffic is at a standstill because of
strike fostered by socialists, who are
trying to form a socialist parliament.

POLAND'S FATE is

The ancient kingdom of Poland Just

situation in more pleasant way, but
the expression is that of DR.. Leon
