NDN AtNlCM A-GGStN " Al 81
LONDON, Nov. 21.-The British ad-
miralty this evening issued a report
dealing with the engagement Saturday
off Helgoland Light between British
and German naval forces. The s,ate-
ment says:
The British forces sighted shortly
before eight o'clock in the morning
four light cruisers. accompanied by de
stroyers and mine sweepers or patrol
vessels. The latter made OF to the
northeast, a destroyer sinking one by
gunfire. A number of the survivors
were rescued.
The enemy light cruisers and de-
stroyers turned Off toward Helgoland
and were pursued hy The British ad-
vanced forces through the mine fields.
A running engagement occurred under
a heavy smoke screen until four en-
emy battleships and battle cruisers
were sighted. The advanced forces
then broke OFF the engagement and
turned back to meet their supports out
side the mine fields.
Our vessels report that during the
action they scored a number of hits on
the enemy. One light cruiser was
seen to be on hre. a heavy explosion
was observed on another. while third
was dropping behind. evidently dam
aged when the action was broken of.
The destruction OF these ships was
by the presence of the enc
my's large vessels and the proximity
to Helgoland. The damage 20 our yes
sells was slight but some casualties
we're caused to officers and men in ex-
nosed Dositions."

depth of the penetration in the re-
gion of Cambria has exceeded five
miles and that at one point at least,
the troops swept on five miles be-
yond the German lines, capturing ad-
ditional villages. The offensive was
under direct command of General Sir
Julian Hedworth Byng. and General
John J. Pershing, commander-in-chief
of the American forces in France, was
an interested observer.
Italians Holding Teutons
Meanwhile the Italians everywhere
are holding the Teutonic allied in
vaders alcng the Piave river and in
the hilly region from the upper
reaches Of that stream to Lake Garda.
Nowhere has the enemy been able to
gain additional ground. On the con-
trary. violent attacks in the hill coun-
try have been repulsed with heavy
casualties. Probably owing to pre-
vious Intellectual attempts to dislodge
the defenders, the enemy has not re-
newed his attacks against Monte
Tomba and Monte Monferna and vital
points barring the way to an invasion
of the Venetian plain from the north.
On the coastal front, Italian and
British warships are bombarding en-
emy positions.
Still further progress has been made
by the British in Palestine, the line
of General Allenby now having been
driven TO points five miles northwest
and six miles west of Jerusalem.
Shipping Losses Small
British shipping losses last week
aggregated II vessels. Only 10 OF
these. however, were craft in excess
Of 1,600 tons.
An indication that the Germans for
titfied line has been passed by the
British at some points is the entry
of the cavalry into the fray. Not
since the famous retreat of the Ger
mans along the Ancre and the Somme
in the spring of the present year have
the horsemen been engaged. At that
time they performed valiant service
in harassing the retreating columns
and in rounding up prisoners.

BALL PLAYERS
NAYbEEXENPT
FROM SERVICE

ttiltAGO. Nov. Exemption Tor
2SS baseball players-1S from each OF
the Il clubs of the American and Ma
tional leagues-will be asked OF the
government. II was announced tonight
by President Johnson of the American
league. who declared that the high
standard of the game would be de.
stroyed if the players were indiscrim-
inately drafted for military service.
President Johnson said the Ameri-
can league would willingly sacrifice
the remaining players on its roster if
the clubs were permitted to retain
is selected men. If the player limit
was % last season. seven men from
each club would be available for mill
tary duty.
Chicago Men Worried
Neither the American nor National
leagues could hope to keep up the
usual high standard OF the game if
some of the clubs were riddled through
the draft and other teams. composed
Of older and perhaps married men,
were untouched" Johnson said. Base
ball is eager to do its part. but We
would like to be assured of players
of quality on every club. Otherwise
the pennant race would be very one.
sided.
Take for instance the champion
ship Chicago club. Practically every
member OF the team called in the
first draft was exempted because of
dependency. The team probably win
be intact next season. as a majority
of the players are married or have
other dependents"
Some Hit Hard
The American league executive
pointed out, however, that some of
the other clubs. principally the Cleve-
land. Philadelphia and Boston clubs,
have been seriously hit as a result o.
the war. The cleveland club. &C
cording to latest reports has lost 10
men in the draft and Philadelphia
stands to lose six. Three or four
of the Boston club, includ-
ing Manager Jack Barry. are in the
navy.
The club members will meet here
on December u to consider a sched-
ule and adopt a war policy. Presi
dent Johnson warned that retrench-
ment would be necessary as baseball,
he said, faces a desperate situation.
He said that the two major leagues
and possibly two or three of the lars-
er minor leagues would be the only
to take the field next
season.
The American league executive
stated positively that the league
would play a 14O-game schedule next
season. instead of 154 games as has
been the rule for years. The season
will open about May three
weeks later than usual.

At 7:47 the infantry, operating just

the elevation known as Mount Vesu-

was blown up, having been mined by
the Germans. At S:34 seven tanks

little damage and the place had not

The ground was firm and covered
with long grass. There were few big
shell holes, such as are to be seen in
Flanders. for comparatively little ar
tillery work had been done against
this sector. 1t was ideal going for
the big land monitors and they made
the most of it. AS they started for
ward the British put a heavy screen
of smoke all about them so it was
impossible for the enemy to see them
many yards away.
The tanks reached the German out
post lines in front of the main line
and without stopping surged through
it toward the barbed wire entangle-
ments, their guns working steadily all
the while Here was a point where it
had been feared they might encounter
but they did not. They

Started Early

The correspondent reached a point
near the British line a little after 6
O'Clock. At that hour there was very
little artillery work on either side.
Machine guns occasionally broke out
with their staccato bark as sentries
on one side or the other thought they
saw a head over a trench top.
Then came a period of absolute
stiffness. Suddenly the long line OF
British tanks moved forward and in
moment the variegated signal lights
of the Germans shot high in the air.
The British troops came out of their
shelters and with fixed bayonets ana
grenades followed the tanks swiftly
toward the enemy barriers.

CANADA'S BONUS

Offering 100 Acres to Farm

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon it for food

solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa

cided to practically bonus every farm

$50 acres free as a homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been a big pro-
Queer of grain and it is estimated that
there is shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to go to war, and
it is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically

an Government, Canada's need for
