AMERICAN ENeINlERs
Die GloriousIy Willie Aiding BrItons
to Beat Back Swift Attack Of
Germans-Spades Discarded
For Rifles When Turning
Move Is Made BY
Huns.


Paris, December 2--~The Havas cor
respondent at the British front de-
scribing the formidable attacks be-
fore Cambrai on Friday in which he
asserts eleven or perhaps twelve
enemy divisions tried to encircle the
British, only failing because of the
vigor of the counter attacks, says:
"The courageous conduct Of num-
ber Of American soldiers attracted
much attention. They we're pioneers
and specialists engaged In construc-
ton and working on fed transporta-
ton. eiS
when the enemy appeared Friday
morning they exchanged their shov-
els for rifles and cartridges and
fought alongside the Tommies. Sew
eral fell gloriously with arms In their
hands facing tie foe. No man who
saw them at work but praises glow
ingly the coolness, discipline and
courage of these imprOtised fighters" /"
Large numbers Of American army
engineers working on the British
railways in the region of Gouzeacourt,
caught in the German turning move
ment, escaped by lying in shell holes
and prone on the ground while the
British fired over them.
There they remained until the Brit
ish were near enough to enable the
Americans to join the ranks, when
they fought valiantly and played an
important part in replying to the
enemy. The British commanders re.
fer to their gallant behavior with the
greatest enthusiasm.
Americans elsewhere took busy
hand in the fighting and were under
hot German sehll fire. Numbers Of
them volunteered for patrol work ir
the danger zone and all acquitted
themselves finely.
A British general told the CORE
spondent that he coild not praise
them too highly 1t Is reported thai
several Americans were captured bu
escaped.
The engineers were mainly from
New York. IL.
The Reuter- correspondent at Brit
ish headquarters in France sends tn,
following: s.
l~-"puriag saturday ne Germans de
livered no less than fifteen attacks
against our positions in La vacquerie
Those in a position to know. say tina
we killed more Germans opposite Ii
Vacquerie in twelve hours than il
any other spot in the same time dur

by far the greater proportion o
guns abandoned in the German on
slaught on Friday have been cap
tured; the others were disabled. Th
amount of territory the enemy ha

FARMERS SHOULD PROTECT MA.
CHINERY

The farmers now, as never before,
should give especial attention to their
farm machinery. They should have
all implements repaired during the
winter and we'll housed. All ma
chimes such as binders, mowers and
other implements that are made
largely Of steel should be taken care
of so that the implements now in
hand can be used as long as possible.
There is sure to be scarcity of steel,
hence the price Of farm machinery is
constantly advancing. Repairs should
be ordered early so the dealer will
have ample time to secure them so
that the harvest may not be delayed
during the coming summer.
