At the Americus High School audi

fully entertained for an hour and a
half by couple of high class artists

the fortunate ones that had secured
them were thrilled by the exquisite

Mrs Ferrell finished the song, paus-

TURNING MOVEMENT BEGUN BY
GERMANS RESULTS IN HEAVY
LOSSES WHILE BRITISH TROOPS
WITHDRAW.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Dee. In their operations
in the Cambrai region yesterday the
Germans began turning movement,
but the British were able to pull back
most Of their troops and guns at the
first attack and save them from being
caught. The British blew up a num-
ber of guns.
So far as could be learned this
afternoon no British gune3 were cap
tured by the Germans.
The German casualties yesterday
were exceedingly large. The British
probably lost a considerable number
OF men.
There is no concealing the fact that
the enemy gave the British an unfov-
orable hour or two yesterday Some
ground was lost but unless unforeseen
events arise, the German plans have
been frustrated, with infiction of seri-
Gus losses on them.
Fighting is still proceeding today
The British are continuing their
counter attacks.
The stroke on the southern flank
brought initial gains, the British be-
irg driven back to La Vacquerie and
to Gouzeacourt about one and three
quarter miles northwest and west
