AMERICAN DESTROYERS

firing a shot-typical of the behavior
OF summarizes when they see destroy

one - the submarines had just sunk

attacking a merchantmen when the de-
stroyers opened fire. The second sub

raced off and submerged at the first
shots, but the other, which had sunk
the steamer. displayed unusual bold
ness. remaining up several minutes,
while the destroyer dropped shells
around her. Only when shell splash
ed within twenty-five yards of the sub
marine did she submerge, according to
the crew OF the steamer, who watched
the attack from small boat close by,
and who later were rescued by the de-
stroyers and brought here.

Still in Service Of Admiralty.

He is still in the service OF the admir-
atty as would be expected of the man
who first awakened English apprehension
of Germany's designs by his remarkable
story, THE Riddle of the Sands" which
is familiar to thousands Of readers. The
settlement of the Irish question would
be very good war work, and 1t is hoped
that the admiralty will lend him to the
Secretariat.
Walter Callan. who has been appointed
to assist Sir Francis Norwood in the
Secretaryshtp of the convention, Is a
resident magistrate in Queenstown.
Before taking that post he was known
as an able and thoughtful writer on
Irish problems. His abilities were high
ly esteemed An the days of Lord Dudley
when that unionist viceroy and George
Wyndham were trying to educate their
party on home rule. Dudley was SO much
impressed with Callan that he made him
his private secretary, and when he left
Ireland to become the governor general
of Australia he took Callan with him.

tribution to the whole controversy. The
fiscal plan he proposed was not adopted
in the home rule act, but opinion has
since been steadily growing in its favor.
and is now supported by the great body
of home rule opinion. Most good judges
expected that he would be nominated

The explanation Of his absence is that
he is doing splendid military work. He
was in the naval reserve and from the

from time to time in connection with the
exploits of the Arethusa.

the west, coming up from Havrincourt
toward Marquion and crossing the Ba-
paume- Cambria Road near Moeuvres.
Half way between Cambria and the
British front line trenches was the town
of Marcoing, situated just south of great
bend in the Scheldt Canal, which comes
across the front on which the British were
advancing in a great 49," turning west
ward at Crevecpur and northward again
at Marcoing. This was a considerable
military obstacle, but the British crossed
It from Creveceur to Marcoing on the sec
ond day of their advance Meantime, the
opening rush carried through the first and
second German trench systems, and as
these were preached cavalry were put in,
Just as Joffre had put them in at the Bat
tie Of Champagne in September, 1915, and
Haig had used them at the Somme year
later. This time the breach in the Ger
man lines was more considerable and they
were able to operate more successfully.
Attack Spends Itself
By Wednesday the British had advanced
at least six miles at certain points; they
had crossed the Scheldt Canal from Mar
Going to Crevecpur, and held Mesnieres, on
the north bank, as well as the outskirts Of
Rumilly and Creveceur. Westward they
had taken Cantaing, four miles from
Cambria, on local road, and were in
Fontaine Notre Dame, on the main Ba-
paume-C Cambria road, less than three
miles from Cambria. But they were now
enduring counter attacks which in the
next twenty-four hours turned them out
Of Fontaine. West of Fontaine they were
fighting in the Bourbon Woods, which
cover Hill 104, a spur which dominates
Cambria at a distance of four miles. Pos
session of this eminence would protect
their western flank, but until it was taken
the danger in further direct thrust at
Cambria was obvious. Meantime, the
German counter attacks were developing,
as might have been expected, not south
from Cambria at the point of the British
wedge. but southwest along the whole
western side Of the salient the British had
created in their lines. BY Friday they had
retaken Moeuvres, regained ground in
Bourbon Woods and were also developing
a second counter attack on the east side of
the British wedge at Creveceur.
Meantime, the British attack had spent
itself. Men and machines were used up,

CT a salient are threatened the troops in it
must retire or risk disaster. The other
day the French had made a very great
attack on the other side of the salient
south of Laon. If they could reach Laon,
now five miles away from their front lines,
they would break one side of the salient
and seize one of the two German bases.
If the British could get Cambria they
would break the other side and seize the
only other considerable base of the Ger
mans in the whole salient, and henceforth
both bases are in constant danger.
When the British get Cambria and the
French get Laon the Germans will have to
retire out Of the salient. If the British
should get Lille, or swing around Lille
from the north, the Germans would have
10 quit the whole salient from the Lys to
the Meuse. AS long as Lille holds 1t Will
be one of the anchorages of the salient
until it falls or is turned the Germans,
even if they have to retire from that por-
ton of the salient south of Cambria and
Laon, could still hold line from Lille TO
the Meuse at the Franco Belgian frontier.
The British attack at Cambria began
on Monday morning, November 10. 1t be-
gan with forward rush of tanks, con-
cealed by smoke clouds and themselves
camouhaged. / saw a camouflaged tank
before General Rawlinson's headquarter,
at the Somme last winter. and it neither
resembled tank nor anything else under
the sun; it was just blur Of indistinct
shades which melted into the surrounding
ground at short distance. Thanks TO
both the smoke and the camoufiage, the
tanks got we'll started before the Germans
walked up. They had no idea that any
thing was on foot, and they were comfor-
tably in their dugouts.
After the British had got started and
their infantry had followed the tanks
through the broken barbed wire the Brit
ish artillery began to fire. It put down
barrages that prevented the arrival Of re-
serves and blocked the German rearward
communications. This artillery fire was
on a front of thirty-two miles, from
Queant almost to st. Quentin. But the
real operative front was less than a third
of this extent in the initial stage. The
actual boundaries were the Scheldt and
its canal, which come down TO Cambria
from ST. Quentin. and the Canal du Nord,
which parallels these some ten miles to
