Germans Beaten
on Two Fronts
Desperate Attacks on Italians and
British Fail-SOme Firing I'm the
East.

LONDON, Nov British and
French troops are today hammering
the German lines with telling blows
over wide area of the western front.
Where the allied infantry is now
assaulting, the artillery is pounding
the German positions.
Following the beginning of the
British drive against Cambria last
Tuesday, the supplementary success
OF the British have swept the British
lines so close to the German strong
hold that the prediction was made to-
day that this week Will see the evac-
uatiOn of the city by the Germans
For five days the TeutOns have been
putting up a determined resistance in
the Cambria sector, but at every point
where an attempt was made to stem
the British onrush, the resistance was
overcome by whirlwind attacks by
Field Marshal Haig's men. There was
a violent struggle west of Cambria
throughout Sunday which left the
British masters of strategic heights
dominating the city.

the sectors of the village of Bourbon
and Bourbon forest the British at

lines in a northeasterly direction to
get in between Cambria and Queant.
(Queant is the southern bastion de-
Tending the Queant-Dracourt switch,
the chief supporters of the northern
end of the Hindenburg line. Queant
lies just west of the zone of Sunday
struggle.)
Furious hand to hand fighting took
place among the ruins of the village
of Bourbon and in the caves and dug
outs that lie beneath the debris.
The Germans had built cunningly
contrived Notifications to look like
the ruins of houses and the British
were taken unawares. The streets
were swept by machine gun fire from
these improvised block houses and il
was largely due to them that the
Germans we're able to retain part OF
the village.
The French, who had been directing
strong pressure against Laon, the
chief bastiOn on the southern end OF
the Hindenburg line, suddenly switch
ed their attacks and drove forward
on the Verdun front for an important
gain.
The gist of fighting on the right
bank of the Mouse followed a big ar
tillery duel which had been raging
there for many days.
The French made their main assault

German Food Supply

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Germany's
food situation is grave and her popu-
lation faces winter of privation and
suffering. Authentic reports to Of
ficials here today showed that Ger
many's supplies of fats are being rap
idly depleted and that the scarcity
in certain essential foods may force
cut in rations for troops as we'll as
civilians.
Fate have been placed almost en-
tirely under governmental control and
rigid measures have been taken to con-
serve the present stocks and are not
offered for sale except at prohibitive
prices. A great shortage in all parts
of the German empire of such articles
as meat, butter, milk, and cheese is
reported. The milk rations of the
children of Berlin, which some weeks
ago was reported as so scant that in
fanty mortality had greatly increased,
are now being cut one-third. The but

WASHINGTON, Nov 26-The pro-

of Russia for a three months armis-
tice on all fronts during which to
arrange a world peace conference
were being considered" by the Uni
ted States government today
The proposals which we're handed
to Ambassador Francis early last
week were forwarded to the state de-
partment by way of Stockholm. The
document has been laid before Presi-
dent Wilson by Secretary of State
Lansing
Beyond saying that the proposals
were being considered" Secretary
Lansing would not discuss the Boil
shevih note today. 1t is accepted
as certain by diplomatic Washington
that there will be no reply to the
armistice proposal.
To reject the proposal through a
diplomatic note would be to recog-
nize the Bolsheviki as forming a de-
facto Russian government
The state department is not like
ly to take this step.
The text of the BOlsheviki note does
not differ from that published in
the press dispatches from Petrograd
last week. Secretary Lansing said
today.

ROME, Nov. 26-Several Austro-
German divisions have been annihi-
lated in the fierce fighting on the
Asiago plateau. Dispatches from the
front today dwelt upon the severity
of the TeutOns' losses and the COM
pleteness of the check administered
to the invaders by the Italians.
The weather in the mountains of
the Asiago plateau has become stormy
but in spite of rain, snow, fog and
wind the struggle has continued with
great violence. All efforts Of the
Germans. however, to break through
and encircle the Italian lef wing
have so far crumpled under the Ital-
ians resistance.
Two German and Austro- Hungarian
regiments, mistaking each others iden-
tity in the darkness, fought for hours,
inflicting severe losses before the
error was discovered
Many hundreds of unburied bodies
lie in the valleys and in the woods
that flank the mountains sides.
Italy has met the picked shock
troops of the German army and given
them blow for blow.
For two weeks veteran Prussian
guardsmen and seasoned warriors
from Bavarian and Wuerttembure
regiments have tried in vain TO break
the Italian defenses between the
Brenta and Piave valleys and along
the lower reaches of the Piave river,
but dispatches from the front today
said that the Teutons were held in
check
The Italians have been called upon
to face such whitening bombardments
as we're hitherto unknown on the
Italian front, but despite their VIC
lence, the cannonades failed to shake
the nerve of the Italian soldiers.
At points where the Italian lines
seemed in danger counter attacks
were driven home against the invad-
ers and hard fighting has been taking
place around Melette, a point of sup
port on the Italian line in the north.
Advices from the AsiagO plateau,
dated Sunday morning, said that the
Germans attempted to break through
on that front had been brought to a
standstill but that there was a shift
ing of the German front and fighting
was breaking out in new places. Elk
change of offensive tactics against the
Italians in that zone was evidently
taking place.

CHAPTER XXI.

Duane had decided to 80 to Ord
and try to find the rendezvous where
Longstreth was to meet his men.
These men Duane wanted even more
than their leader. 1t was Poggin who
needed to be found and stopped.
Poggin and his right-hand men!
The night of the day before he
reached Bradford, No. 9, the mail and
express train going east, was held up
by train-r0bberies the Wells-Fargo
messenger killed over his safe, the
mail-clerk wounded, the bags carried
away. The engine No. 6 came into
town minus even tender, and en-
gineer and fireman told conflicting
stories. A posse Of railroad men and
citizens, led by sheriff Duane sus-
pected was crooked, was made up be-
fore the engine steamed back to pick
up the rest Of the train. Duane had
the sudden inspiration that he had
been cudgeling his mind to find; and,
acting upon it, he mounted his horse
again and left Bradford unobserved.
He rode at an easy trot most of
the night, selected an exceedingly
rough, roundabout, and difficult course

Duane left the town, threaded a

quiet passage through cactus and mes
quite to a spot he had marked before,
and passed the night. His mind was
SO full that he found sleep aloof.
Luck at last was playing his game.
He sensed the first slow heave of a
mighty crisis. The end, always haunt
ing, had to be sternly blotted from
thought. 1t was the approach that
needed all his mind.
Late in the morning he returned to
Ord. II Jim Fletcher tried to disguise
his surprise, the effort was failure.
Certainly he had not expected to see
Duane again. Duane allowed himself
a little freedom with Fletcher, an at
titude hitherto lacking.
That afternoon horseman rode in
from Bradford, an outlaw evidently
well known and liked by his fellows,
and Duane heard him say, before he
could possibly have been told the
train-robber was in Ord, that the loss
Of money in the hold-up was slight.
Like flash Duane saw the luck Of
this report. He pretended not to have
heard.
In the early twilight at an opportune
moment he called Fletcher to him,
and, linking his arm within the out
laws. he drew him of in a stroll to

If you care for me-you won't kill

With q low moan she dropped her
head upon the bed.
Duane opened the door and stealth
lily stole out through the corridor to
the court. But long after he had
tramped out into the open there was
lump in his throat and an ache in
his breast.

Fletcher was won.
The two men spend much time to-
gether. Duane made up short ficti-
tious story about himself that salts
fed the outlaw, only 1t drew forth a
laughing jest upon Duane's modesty.
For Fletcher did not hide his belief
that this new partner was man of
achievements. Knell and Poggin, and
then Cheseldine himself, would be
persuaded Of this fact, SO Fletcher
boosted. He had influence. He would
use it. He thought he pulled a stroke
with Knell. But nobody on, earth.
not even the boss. had any influence
on Poggin. Poggin was concentrated
ice part Of the time; all the rest he
was bursting hell. But Poggin loved
a horse. He never loved anything
else. He could be won with that
black horse Bullet. Cheseldine was
already won by Duane's monumental
nerve; otherwise he would have killed
Duane.
Little by little the next few days
Duane learned the points he longed
to know; and how indelibly they etch-
ed themselves in his memory! Chesel-
dimes hiding-place was on the far
slope Of Mount Ord, In deep, high
walled valley. He always went there
Just before a contemplated Job, where
he met and planned with his neuten-
ants. Then while they executed he
basked In the sunshine before one OF
another Of the public places he owned.
He was there In the Ord den now,
getting ready to plan the biggest joo
yet. It was bank-robbery; but
where, Fletcher had not as yet been
advised.
Then when Duane had pumped the
now amenable outlaw Of all details
pertaining to the present he gathered
data and facts and places covering
period of ten years Fletcher had been
with Cheseldine. And herewith was
