GERMANY FIGHTING TO SAVE
FRUITS OF HER ONE GREAT
OFFENSIVE OF YEAR.
Stupendous Tank Drive Of General
Byng Has Wrecked the Plan Of the
Teuton High Command to
Rest in the West.


London.-"Bingo-By rs the Tom
Less than two and a half miles now
separates his army from Cambria.
The big British guns have begun the
bombardment of Cambrai itself. That
town is a surging sea of Teuton re-
serves, coming to save the day for the
Teutons defeated.
Germans Are Desperate.
In the shell-raked, tank-swept rags
of the Hindenburg line, Germany is
fighting to save the fruits of her one
great offensive of the year on which
she had staked ALL From every part
of the western front Hidnenburg Is
drawing every available handful of re-
Inducements to restore the line that
bore his name, the line that was to hold
until Russia and Italy are disposed
of
While Hindenburg was in the act of
"disposing Of Italy" following his sud
den smash on the Isonzo, "Bingo-
Byng" and his tanks came along and
out-surprised the Hindenburg surprise
and now the Teutons are between this
'devil' in the west and the unfinished
Italian job in Venetia. To draw re-
serves from the Piave or Trentino
front&@Would spell doom to the enter
prise there, already threatened by the
ever-stiffening Italian resistance. 1t
is a question of leaving the west front
to take care or itself.
German Troops Summoned
So from Verdun, from the Cham
pagne, from the Aisne, from Flanders
Hindenburg is drawing troops, troops
and more troops, perilously thinnin;
his fronts in those sectors, in any o
which Petain or Haig may strike |
blow at any hour.
That stupendous tank drive of Gen
eral Byngs and It's 'dogged continua
ton have wrecked the fond piqn of tn
Teuton high command to rest in tn
west this winter and when spring cam
TO throw the huge Austro-Germal
forces from Italy and Russia agains

"There will be no rest this winter
is the message which Byng's men ant
guns are delivering every hour of tn
day and night. 1t looks more and NOR
as if the Armageddon is to be Tough
in the snow somewhere between tn
North sea and the Vosges.

ing of the war tax law, proposed state
ments regarding the probable form OF
tax legislation.
Many members of congress are
awaiting the opportunity to seek re-
vision of the tax law, including those
advocating heavier drafts of war prof
its. Closer scrutiny of war expendi-
lures and appropriations is promised.
VIII Submit New Treaties.
Foreign affairs promise to receive
much senate attention. New treaties
to be submitted will provide for draft
ing of aliens. The treaty paying $2b,-
900, 900 to Colombia is still pending.
Some senators also are privately dis
posed to ask suestions about the ap-
pointment of Colonel House and others
TO the inter allied conference as well
as about the Chinese pact negotiated
by Secretary Lansing with Viscount
Ishii of Japan.
Calendars of both senate and house
are filled with bills and resolutions
left over from the last session, while
many new ones are scheduled for in
PRODUCTION later.
A caucus OF Republican representa-
tives probably will be held at the out
set of the session to discuss minority
matters. Representative Mann of 1lli-
nois. the Republican floor leader, has
been under treatment in Baltimore,
and his presence tomorrow Is not ex-
pected. In his absence the leadership
naturally falls to Representative Gill
let of Massachusetts,. who is the next
ranking member of the Republican
steering committee. Until the selec-
ton of the steering committee at the
last session of congress the ranking
Republican Of the ways and means
committee usually was floor leader,
but Representative Fordney of Mich-
gan, who holds that rank, is not a
member of-.th@ steering committee.
Rank members of the steering COM
mittee in their order are Representa-
tvs Mann, Gillett, Mondell, Moore and
Lenroot. Mr.. Lenroot figured con-
spicuously in the minor leadership
gossip early at the last session.

First Soldier to Land
in France Returns Home


tired to sleep. The first two days in
the trenches, he states, We're rather
trying on his nerves While he took
part In none OF the memorable battles,
yet he was close to the enemy and the
whirr OF the shells kept him lodging
for two days After that time no whirr
from a German shell disturbed him
and he settled down to his work.
MY supremely happy moment while
in France? Well. | shall always re-
member that moment" said Sullivan.
THE German snipers made the ma
chine-gun men n special object OF
their aim and they were hard to To-
cate. One day ! was using my glasses
looking over a rocky hill about 1000
yards away, when saw one of
the fellows changing his position. He
was moving his gun from one rock to
another. | took quick aim and fired
twice in rapid succession. The tele-
scopic sight on my gun brought him
up to within fifty yards of me and |
could see his features. I saw him
grab at his body where the bullet en-
tered and he fell over the rocks and
fifty feet below"
For this the young American re-
ceived a badge OF honor. He made no
application for the badge, but
French officer saw the German sharp
shooter fall and the badge of honor
was pinned on the soldier by Marshal
Joffre OF the French forces.
The soldier took part in another
shooting that was not delightful; in
fact, II was very distasteful. He had
helped to capture a German spy and
he was condemned to die. Sullivan
was one Of a firing squad OF twelve
men. Eleven Of the guns were loaded
with blanks, and so no one will ever
know whose gun really killed the spy,
but the youthful soldHf was not har-
dened enough to take the sting out OF
him when he stood in the firing squad.
Service Badge Given.
