Great Headquarters Of the French
Armies in France, May evening"
While the French troops with impctu-

Craonue, the correspondent of The As
sociated Press watched another battle,
the outcome Of which was not less brill
ianty successful for the French, along
q threc-milc front further TO the south
cast. The French attack. which was
preceded by an eaicacious, destructive
artillery bombardmon;, stretched from
the ncighborhood Of SapigncuL south
Of Bcrry.au-Bac. almost 20 Louvre
northwest Of Rheims.
The Germans put their whole avail
able strength into the effort TO hold
three heights which were the objective
Of the French attack. They employed
five divisions, and the reply OF their
guns 10 the French artillery was the
most terrific the correspondent has
seen for a long time But the obstinate
resistance did not avail to prevent the
French advance, which carried every
thing it set out to do.
French Menace Brimont
The result Of the action is a menace
TO Brimont. which is still in German
hands. and from which they bombarded
Rheims.
At the end Of the day more than SIX
hundred prisoners had come in from
this short sector alone. The fighting
here differed entirely from that around
Craonne, as the French we're obliged to
advance across an open plain afTording
little cover.
When the French left the front
trenches for the attack they were met
bv an avalancho-hke curtain of fire, in
which could be distinguished many gas
shells. Here and there, momentariiy,
their forward move almost impercepti-
bly, hesitated. and then went steadily
on again until the blue infantry waves.
in wide open formation, reached their
goals.

witnessed the recent fighting there and
can testify TO the formidable nature Of
the position. which dominated a con-
siderable part Of the French line and
held up the advance to an enormous
extent.
Everywhere the ground about is per

where these did not exist deep cav

utilized as machine gun positions by the
Germans, rendering an assault VelF

Amsterdam, Nov. 17.-According to
a Berlin dispatch, the German en-
peror in addressing the U-boat crews
in the Adriatic and referring to the
development of the submarines said
that a voyage of three or four days
now was an everyday occurrence and
declared that the development of the
U-boats had not reached it's highest
point. He expressed qualification at
the amount Of tonnage sunk in the
Mediterranean, which he said. showed
that the U-boats had fulfilled What had
been expected of them. Submarine
warfare would have a decisive part
in the final outcome of the war, the
emperor declared and would not be
stopped until the enemy was van
pushed.
The emperor concluded: II en- Ger.

Chinese Like Automobiles.

American automobiles are rapid
ly growing popular in China. Their
use is limited not by the desire Of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack Of roads outside Of
few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and in Shanghai it is said to be diff
cult to maintain a taxicab business be-
cause the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew

Suggestion To Be Tried Out at Once

to provide an emergency fleet Of steam
ers almost overnight has been made
to the shipping board by Thomas a..
Edison, chairman of the Naval Con-

ley, chairman Of the board.
Mr.. Edison suggested that the gov
errment take over all the American
sailing vessels afloat today and con-
vert them into twin-screw ships,
wherever practical. There had been
some criticism previously against such
action. it=being maintained that in in
stalling single screws the vibration
would be so great that the vessels
would he shaken to pieces.
Edison Offers Solution.
Mr.. Edfson's suggestion was sim.
Pile solution Of the difficulty-the twin
screws. He explained that these could
be so placed as to neutralize the eff
fects of the vibration. It was said
many of the ships could be converted
probably in as short time as 80
days from the time they were taken
over. Such move would provide a
large fleet for the country. it was
pointed out; many of the ships being
put into service even before the ships
now being built by the Emergency
