AMERICANS HAD A PART IN
SMASHING GERMAN LINE
Railroad Engineers Pushing Lines For.
ward With Speed That Has
Brought Forth Praise.

British Army Headquarters in
France, Dec. 1.-American engineers
the first American troops to be en-
gagged in military operations on the
British front, took prominent part in
the breaking of the Hindenburg line
last week Military necessity has made
it impossible to inform the people of
the United States that engineers of
the American army had a large part
in pushing up the vital railways behind
the advancing British soldiers.
AS a matter of fact the American
engineers have been laboring on the
roads through the devastated battle
fields of the Somme district for nearly
four months and two of their men,
who were wounded, were the first
American casualties from Washington.
The speed with which the lines have
been laid up through the broken Hin
denburg defenses during a the past
week has called for the highest praise
from the British authorities. The

"a hours day, and no such amount
of track has been laid in this region
in so short a time before. The man
ner in which they stood up under the
strain has led to their being dubbed

IN FIERCE ATTACK TEUTONS
FORCE BYNG BACK SLIGHTLY
Troops Which Made Recent Notable
Advance on Cambrai Are Forced
to Give up Ground.

London. Dec. 1.-Germans in a vio-
lent offensive over the entire front
where the British made their notable
gains last week have pushed back Cen
eral Byng'S troops at several points.
Especially severe was the attack be-
tween the Bourbon Wood and Moeu-
vres, where the British line held under
its impetus and repulsed all attacks
north of the Bapaume-Cambria road
north of Graincourt-a distance of
about two miles. Likewise on the
southern base the enemy drove through
from Gonneclu to Gouzeacourt-an-
other two miles, The village of La
vacquerie was captured by the Ger
mans, but later in a counter attack
was recovered.
Other counter attacks have driven
the enemy from Gouzecourt and the
ridge to the east.
Z Severe fighting is still in progress
over the greater portion of the 15-mile
front.
On the italian front the fierce en-
gagements by infantry, in which the
men often came into hand-to-hand en-
counters, have turned into duels with
the big guns in the hilly region north
of the Venetian plain and along the
middle and lower Piave river.

GERMANY ADMITS SINKING
OF lis SUBS BY AMERICANS
Former San Francisco Man Believes
Total Much Larger.-DetaiIs
of German Brutality.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Germany
has admitted the loss of 115 subma-
rines through the effectiveness of the
American naval patrol, according to
a letter received here by Supervisor
James e. Powell from his brother,
Thomas, chief carpenters mate aboard
an American destroyer in patrol SER
vice.
Power believes this admission ac-
knowledges that the actual number is
far greater than the estimate. The
letter in part follows:
1--WE have done wonderful destruc-
tion to the enemy since we entered
the fight. The Germans estimate us
of their submarines have been put
out of the running by the United States
and you can rest assured if they adj
NIT that number the real total is
great deal more.
'The other day we picked up 13
survivors clinging to spar they had
been on four days. The Germans had
torpedoed their ship and made them
get in life boats. Then they took
nearly all their clothes from them and
made them pull away. When they got
off short distance, the Germans star
ed shooting at them with machine
guns and killed 35"

PEACE LETTER DENOUNCED
BY ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS
Insistence Is General That Worse Time
Could Not Have Been Chosen

London, Dec. 1.-The Marquis of
Lansdowne's letter giving peace sug-
gestions holds first place in the edi-
torial columns of London morning

of the radical Daily News, which APP
proves it, and the moderate Daily
Telegraph, which endorses it in part,
it is denounced.
Insistence is general that he could
not have chosen worse time I'd
launch the letter than when Germany
is dickering peace with the Len
mites, the allied conference meeting
in Paris and enemy agents trying to
induce the Italian army to abandon
the fighting.
The Daily Mail heads it's editorial
with the words "The White Flag" and
concludes it with denunciatory COM
ment, declaring that Lansdowne is

Is LARGE Movement.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Announcemen
of the arrival in France of the first
national guard units covers a large
movement that has been in progress
for several weeks. Guard units to be
sent later will be more sectional in
character, the grouping of the all-di-
visional organizations having been adj
hered to as closely as possible. The
entire country, however, shares in the
honor of having its representative
units now at the front in the world
war.
Secretary Baker has announced that
as fast as men and ships are ready
additional forces will be sent to join
General Pershing. Guard divisions first
to show themselves fitted for trans
portatiOn to the training camps in
France will be the first to go. 1t ap-
pears possible that the re-grouping of
national army divisions, made neces-
sary by the use of drafted men to fill
up depleted national guard divisions,
will determine the order of the first
national army units to be sent over. In
that re-grouping two national army
divisions were formed, one represent
ing the whole eastern section of the
country and one equally representa-
tive of the middle states. All of the
far west is already in the national
army division at Camp Lewis at Amer
lean Lake.
If the same policy is followed with
relation to the national army that has
been followed In connection with the
national guard, it seems likely that
these three divisions, other things such
as training and equipment being equal,
would be the first of the national army
to go over, as every state N the union
would then have national army men
at the front, as it now has national
guardsmen.

According to federal agents, the
Italians plotted to help Germany win
the war by fomenting revolution in
Italy to overthrow King Victor EN-
manuel. Federal officers in disguise,
1t was announced, attended one of the
society's recent meetings at which
calls were issued for volunteers to
foment disturbances in this country.
Officials planned to gather all the

Cleelum, Roslyn and Easton, in Kit
titas county, were brought here yes
terday in a special coach attached to

in cells at the federal immigration sta
tion. Fifteen government agents ac-
companied the prisoners.
Pamphlets entitled "Buttale Ilfu-
cile" were among the papers and doc
uments federal agents said they seized |
at the secretary's headquarters here |
According to the officers, the title, |
when translated, means throw down
your arms" The propaganda, it was
said, urged Italians everywhere to rise
against their governments and resist
all military service. The officers said
the literature was printed by the So
