Failure of Attacks on Gen.
Byng's Cambria Positions
Causes LuII in Battle.
HAIG LAUDS DRIVE AS
BRILLIANT MOVE OF WAR
Opens Way to Further Exploitation,
Field Marshal Asserts-British
Expected to Besiege City.

British troops have captured the high
ground in Bourbon wood and now domi-
nate the region about Cambria This
success came after two days Of the most
vicious fighting and its importance is in
dicated in part by the fact that German
traffic southeast from Cambria has been
heavy, the probability being that the
civil population of tho town has been
removed.
Cen. Byngs latest triumph was one Of
hard and heroic endeavor. In paying
tribute to tho Sd Army. Field Mar
shall Haig declares the capture OF the
Bourbon position crowns a most sue
cessful operation. and opens the way to
the further exploitation OF advantages
already gained"
Apparently the British commander will
push his advantage still further and
besiege Cambria. which Is three miles
to the east.
Changed Hands Thrice.
Bourbon village changed hands three
times in the desperate battling for the
possession of 1t and the adjoining wood.
the Germans, massing their best troops
in efforts to retrieve the position
which means all to the security OF
Cambria, pressed back the British from
parts Of the village Sunday. Gen.
BynEs men withstood attacks on tho
wood and hold the high ground intact.
There also has been heavy fighting
west Of Moeuvres, southeast OF Queant.
In six days Gen. Byng and the third
army have broken the Hindenburg
line, taken q score of villages. secured
the dominating position west OF Cam
brai and overrun territory equal In
area to that gained in the first three
months OF the drive in the Ypres SAL
lent. Nearly 10000 prisoners. 100 ma
chine guns and much war material
have been captured. More important
still, probably. Is the further "exploita-
tion," to which Field Marshal Haig
refers in his congratulatory message.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 26.-The Ger
mans have not repeated their attacks
on the Bourbon position west Of Cam
brai since their failure of yesterday,
Field Marshal Haig reports today.
The statement issued by the war office
reads:
ION tho Cambria battle front the
the Bourbon position since the failure
of his attempt at midday yesterday and
the situation is unchanged.
Northeast of Ypres there was con-
siderable artillery activity on both
sides early last night in the Passchen-

developed"
