Civilian Population Flees.

A large amount of traffic in the last
few days has been pouring out Of Cam
brai toward the southeast. indicating
the probability that the Germans have
evacuated the civilian population and
are preparing for eventualities
That the Germans attached greatest
Importance to Bourbon wood ana the
village was fully evidenced by their
strenuous resistance and the Intense
counter attacks hurled against the
British lines. Several counter thrusts
were delivered by the enemy Satur-
day. Some Of them succeeded tempo
rarily, but the British pushed forward
again and regained the lost ground.
The fighting over the wooded slopes
of this elevation has been among the
most spectacular of the war. for the oc-
cupation OF tho forest was due largely
to the work Of tanks and airmen, who
paved the way for the onrushinE in
fantry. A number of iron monitors led
the advance to Bourbon wood Friday.

British Circle Bourbon
Wood, Hold Lines Tight
Despite German Attacks

BY mo A1Boc11peo TIebS
BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, November 25.-This morning
found the line Of battle Of the weary
but determined British troops stretched
in a semi-circle about Bourbon wood
and Bourbon village. which nestles at
the northeastern edge OF the forest
1t was a line which had been estab-
lished in the face of logged resistance
on the part OF the Germans who had
fallen back step by step fighting with
the fury Of despair. The opposing
forces struggled bitterly at close
quarters for possession Of the little
village from which the British were
in the rush that took them through
Bourbon wood.
Today all the streets Of the place had
been cleared. A little to the south
west Of here another intense struggle

battled their way with rife and bay

the southern half. Elsewhere along
the Cambria front there was no in
fantry action Of Importance.
Capture 10000 Men.
Prisoners continue to arrive at the
British cages from the front. Nearly
10. 900 captives thus far have been
counted, including 200 officers.
In the capture Of Bourbon wood and
village the British have acquired pos
session Of one OF the most important
points they have secured since the
great drive began last Tuesday. This
high ground controls a wide sweep OF
territory and it's occupation holds out
the possibility that the Germans even
tually will be forced to withdraw their
lines to the northwest.
The Bourbon position also overlooks
Cambria. but this city might be a hard
nut to crack because the central part
is walled and many suburbs radiate
from 1t. forming natural barriers
against an advance from the west. 1t
seems possible that Cambria might
ultimately become a sort of no mans
land, dominated by the big guns of
both sides. and that this ancient town,
with its fine old cathedral and pic
turesque walls. would go the way Of so
many other places which come under
artillery fire.

Deny Separate Peace.

Lenine declared Russia did not con-
template separate peace with Ger
many: that the belief that an armistice
on the Russian front would make it
possible for Germany to throw q large
force on the French front was ground
less. as the Russian government, before
signing a treaty for an armistice,
would communicate with the allies and
make certain proposals to the i'm
pertaltstic governments Of France and
England. rejection of which would
place them in open opposition to the
wishes OF their own peoples"
The autocratic methods Of the council
Of national commissioners. as instanced
an armistice without consulting the
central executive committee Of the
workmen's and soldiers deputies which
is the highest governing body in Rus
STA today, have caused dissension in the
ranks Of the bolsheviki camp.
Conflict Begins to Ripen.
The conflict between the protesting
members of the committee. notably the
social revotutionists and the council Of
the national commissioners, is ripeninR.
The question of the authority of the
council to issue an order to the soldiers
to open peace negotiations was heated
ly discussed.
Leon Trotsky. foreign minister in the
bolsheviki cabinet. has sent a note to
the diplomatic representatives Of neu.
trail powers in Petrograd. according to
the omctal news agency. informing
them OF measures taken by the govern
ment to obtain an armistice. The note
