Bolsheviki Announce
Fighting at Front
Germans Open Fire Near
Dvinsk, Says Lenine's First
Military Statement

LONDON, Nov. 25.-In the first
statement telling of military activity
on the Russian front, issued by Petro-
grad since the Bolsheviki overthrow
Kerensky, German activity is reported
over a large portion of the Eastern
front.
The official statement issued by the
Lenine government says that the
enemy opened strong fire in the direc-
ton Of Jacobstadt, near Dvinsk, and
that on the western, southwestern and
Rumanian fronts there were also fusil-
ladies' and scouting operations.
The activity in the East may indi-
cate that the Germans are preparing
either for further attacks against a
helpless enemy. or a demonstration
that may have weight in the reported
separate peace negotiations.

And Men for Swift
Stroke at Cambria

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The following
special order of the day was issued Dy
Field Marshal Hsig on Sunday:
"The capture of the important Bour-
Ion position yesterday crowns most
successful operation and opens the way
to the further exploitation OF adVan-
taces already gained. In the opera
tons of the Third Army during the last
four days the troops engaged were
called on to advance under conditions
different from anything ever attempted
before. The manner in which they
adapted themselves to the new condi-
tions was in all respects admirable and
the results gained by their efforts are
of farreaching Importance.
although practically all the divi-
sions employed have already been en-
Gagged in severe and prolonged lighting
this year, all arms and services nave
met these fresh calls on them in a
manner worthy the highest traditions
of the British army.
Tanks Work in Large Numbers
ain .lis battle the tanks for the first
time have been afforded an opportunity
of working in large numbers and OF
showing their special value under con-
ditions suitable 10 them. Without them
the complete surprise gained would not
have been possible, could not even nave
been attempted. Their performances
have entirely justified the trust placed
in them.
"Infantry, artillery and aircraft have
coopArated with efficiency and complete
devotion 70 duty, in which they never
fail. The cavalry has cooperated with
the other arms with excellent results.
The Royal Engineers. the signal SER
vices. transportation services, army
service corps and the various admin
istrative services concerned each per-
formed most valuable work.
Byng and Staff Congratulated
"To General Sir Julian Byng and his
staff, to the commanders and stats
under him and to all arms and services
engaged in these operations my thanks
and warmest congratulations are due
for the manner in which they prepared
and carried through the operations and
on the splendid results achieved.

ranks at general headquarters for the
success with which they have met the
severe strain, imposed by the arrange
ments for these operations, in addition
to the sudden movement of troops TO
Italy, the operations Oh the Flanders
front and the many other movements
and reliefs which had to be carried out
simultaneously.
"The operations on the Third Army
front would in all prob ability have mis-
carried IL the enemy had gained timely
warning of our intentions, and most
satisfactory feature in connection with
these operations is the complete Sc
crecy maintained. For this my thanks
are due 10 all concerned"

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Saturday, Nov. "a
Strong enemy attacks, with artillery
preparation, continued throughout the
day along the whole extent Of front
between the Brenta and Pave rivers,
but the enemy made no ground and all
his attacks failed.
The fighting, while severe, was not
of that whirlwind character Of the last
two days, and both sides were engaged
in recognizing their positions on the
shifting front and taking momentary
respite from the tremendous strain OF
the last few days.
Another enemy attempt to cross the
Piave on pontoons resulted in the wip-
ing out of the pontoons and the men.
Further details of the fierceness of
the recent fighting in the north were
given to the correspondent by an eye
witness returning from the battle line,
who also told Of many instances Of
daring by regiments, batteries and in
divduals.
The Italian artillery has especially
distinguished itself. In the fighting
tround Meletta d'Aventi mountain
battery was obliged to fall back with
the infantry. Every officer of the bat
terry had been killed except the cap
tain, who was badly wounded. While
bleeding on the ground he called two
gunners, ordered them to set up the
wreck Of the remaining gun, and dl-
rected them to fire from this point:
The last seen of MIN was on the ground
behind this piece.
Gunners Weld Bayonets
Two other batteries were brought
into action yesterday morning. The
enemy fire was so fierce that whole
battery was nearly swept away. As the
captain was killed, his place was taken

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Nov. 24.-The work &C
complisheG by the tanks has had bad
effect on the morale of the German
troops, according to prisoners. When
the tanks made their initial appearance
on the Western front they filled the
Germans with dismay. This fear dimin-
ished, however, because Of the beliel
that the artillery could cope with the
iron monitors. The great number OF
tanks thrown into Tuesdays attack
made it impossible for the German ar
tillery TO deal with them, and as re-
suit something of the old fear came
back to the enemy infantrymen.
The tanks have come through thus
far with losses remarkably. small, IN
view Of the vigorous warfare they car
ried deep into the enemy territory
The rapid strides made in the improve
ment of these great machines since
they were first tried out have peeh
strikingly shown in the present Dallie'

Of the deep, strong lines Of barbed wire

Bolsheuiki Are Making
No Headway With People
TStaf CorrespondenceI

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Bolsheviki
are apparently making little headway
either in Russia or outside her IRON
tiers. One report to-day states that
Kaledine's Cossacks and Bolsheviki
troops are now lighting, but little credit
is placed in 1t.
Polling for the Constituent Assembly
has been completed in the navy ana Is
about to begin in the army, elections
being held in the cities to-day. In the
recent election of councillors in 643
towns the Maximalist and Minimalist
returns aggregate 1876 per cent and
the Revolutionary Socialist and Social
list block 51.6 per cent, which shows
how little the Bolsheviki speak for the
Russians.
Nothing which came out of Russia
last week proved encouraging to Rus
SLAMS here, for whom there Is the great
est sympathy. The only hope they see
lies in a counter revolution, followed
by a military dictatorship.

forced to fly exceedingly low, the

stein, German minority Socialist
leader, declared repeatedly that the
characterization of Germany was of i'm

wrong in convoking the Reichstag only
after the war had already been decided
upon.
AS no representative of an Entente

liberations of the neutrals and citizens
of the Central powers in attendance
are of little Importance. II had been

Will COME BACK
from WASHINGTON
Is Reliable, pul The Re-
port Is Not Official

Washington, Jan. 16.-The with.
drawal of Pershing's expedition
may be expected within a few, days,
is the substance of the information
given out by Secretary Lansing af-
ter today's cabinet meeting at
which Secretary Lansing made his
final report on the joint meetings
Of the commission representing the
two countries. The sending of Am
bassador Fletcher to Mexico and the
withdrawal of General Pershing's
expedition from Mexico may be ex-
pccted in the near future.
No fixed date has been set for
the withdrawal of the troops, but as
a result of the conclusion of the
work of the joint commission, the
matter is now in the hands of Presi-
dent Wilson.
No action was taken on the
question of lifting the embargo on
arms to Mexico and the matter has
not been considered seriously by
the cabinet or the President.
The news that the troops would
be withdrawn was the cause for
great rejoicing in Mexico City and
orders have been given to the Mexi-
can army by Gen. Obregon to be
prepared to occupy the positions
now held by General Pershing.
This move has been taken to pre-
vent the Villa forces from gaining
any advantage as a result of the
withdrawal of the American troops.
