BRITISH, HOLD BOURBON
Clear City Of Germans, Except Few
Groups Who Remain in Hiding.


Groups Who Remain in Hiding.
[By the Associated Press.]
British Army Headquarters in
France, Nov. 25.-This morning found
the line Of battle Of the west but de-
terminer British troops stretched in a
| semi circle about Bourbon and Bour-
lon village, which nestles at the north
western edge of the forest. 1t was a
line which had been established in the
face Of dogged resistance on the part
! OF the Germans who had fallen back
step by step, fighting with the fury
Of despair. All day yesterday the op-
posing forces struggled bitterly at
close quarters for possession of the lit
tie village, from which the British were
in the push they tookshrdlu mfwyp fwy
forced Friday, after they gained posi-
tions in the push that took them thru
Bourbon wood.
Nightfall still found waves of infen-
try surging back and forth thru the
| streets of the hamlet and among the
houses, their crimson bayonets telling
| the story of the terrible conflict being
waged.
Gradually the Germans fell back, the
British pressing forward with grim
persistence. which the enemy could not
Withstand. and the hamlet finally was
cleared of the major portion Of the
German troops.
Today some few Of the epemy--still
remained in Bourbon to be mopped up,
but all the main streets of the place
had been cleared.
A little to the southwest Of here an
other intense struggle was being staged
In the village Of Moeuvres, into which
the British had battled their way with
rifles and baycnet and pushed the
Germans out OF the southern half:
More Prisoners Taken.
Elsewhere along the Cambria front
there was no infantry action of inn
pNrtance.
Prisoners continued to arrive at the
! British cages from the front Nearly
10000 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. /.
| ually will be forced to withdraw their
lines to the northwest
The Bourbon position also overlooks
Cambria, but this city may be a hard
nut to track for the central part OF
the town Is walled.
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
vacuated the civilian population and
are preparing for eventualities.

night n again today kilograms and
letters poured into the treasury, con-
tanning subscriptions or offers of sub
scriptions to the $4,000. 900, 600 liberty
loan. Treasury officials yesterday X

ton is even more than double the

The spectacle of the banks II people
of this country rushing to take govern
ment bonds at the rate of something
like $4,000. 600 an o has amazed the
British and French commissions.

P~etrograd. Wia London). MAY =
The provisional government. through
Premier Lvoff, has declined to modify
the note sent to the allies.
The government declares that the
ministers are prepared to resign their
posts if necessary.
Although the sentiment of the work
mems n soldiers council apparently
Is against extreme measures. unless
they are absolutely necessary, every
speaker emphasized the contention that
The power in Russia rests in the hands
of the representatives Of the workmen
and soldiers, and that they are deter
mined to enforce their views upon the
temporary government or Immediately
dispossess it and construct a govern
ment Of their own liking.
Ready to Quit Office.
Premier Lvoff said:
TT is impossible to e another
note. h temporary government will
comply with it's duty and leave it's post
rather than take such a step. which
serious consequences. The government
understands fully the responsibility it
has assumed in behalf of the country
and in view OF the responsibility is
ready to resign if it becomes neces-
sary."
TOFeISu secretary MlIlkOH, COullilIi-
ing the stand taken by Premier Lvoff.
said:
Pleasing to Enemies.
"The note expresses the view of the
temporary government. 1t has no other
aim. The recent note repeats and de-
velops the idea expressed in the first
note, which was worked out in con-
junction with the council of deputies.
If we compare the notes it is clear that
they constitute a step forward. The
events of yesterday will make the allies
very sad, while pleasing our enemies.'
In regard to the suggestion OF a new
note NJ. Milukoff said that such a step
was quite impossible. Sue conduct"
he continued. toward a foreign gov
M cannot be permitted. If we
should attempt to follow a route which
in my conviction is impracticable we
would only be repulsed."
Allies ENJOYS Call.
The minister made an allusion to a
secret telegram which has been re-
ceived from the allies. 1t is significant
that the ambassadors of England.
France and Italy have called upon the
foreign secretary. NJ. Milikoff conclud-
ed his statement 10y saying:
Prospecting our military needs and
NEAR of continuing the war we are
dependent to Il great extent upon the
allies, especially upon America. 1t will
be an everlasting bio On our history
if there should be Il possibility of con-
Guiding a separate peace. But the coun-
Gil itself has declared against "A sepa-
rate peace"
Soldiers Not For War.
NJ. Tcheidse. president of the council,
repeated previous declarations that the
imperialistic attitude OF the govern
ment was unacceptable. He said:
Neither the oldieTs nor the work
men are for war. If the government
does not mean to heed our w%atchword
Of peac without contributions it will
have to make itself clear"
NJ. Tcheidse called attention to the
fac that there was no interior discord
