WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Dec. 4.-The best Of many
exciting episodes related in connection
with the Cambrai fighting was that in
volving fifty American and Canadian
engineers, together with some British
fighting troops.
These men were cut OF in tic Ger
man turning movement near Gouzeau-
court and were taken prisoners. A
German escort Of twenty soldiers or
more started with them along the road
leading from Gouzesucourt TO Cambria.
AS they were proceeding disconsolately
toward the zone Of the German prison
camps they came upon a small body
of British troops which had also been
cut off from their comrades and was
wandering about.
The British Tommies Immediately
charged toward them. The Germans
tried to drive their captives Oft toward
La Vacquerie, but the prisoners hurled
themselves upon their guards and
struggled barehanded until the Tom
mics arrived and disposed of the Ger
mans. The engineers and their COM
rades took the German rifles and
worked their way back with their res
cuers until they were able 10 reach a
point where they could join the British
line.
A party OF Americans and Canadians
also had an exciting time in motor
lorry. which, coming unexpectedly upon
six Germans holding. the crossroads
with machine guns, charged at full
speed, tanklike, bowling over the sur
prised enemy and escaping down the
road before the Germans recovered
from their shock and fright.
The engineers were not the only
army men from the United States who
did their bit during the most intense
part of the German counter attacks at
Cambria. Not less than ten American
army medical officers were working in
the British casualty stations along the
Gouzeaucourt front. In fact, they had
been laboring there since General Byns
began his great offensive.

to be productive Of results yesterday,
and BY nightfall it had added to the in

tsbadowed by Secret Service men, who
only waited 10 make the arrests until
the wireless apparatus was in working
order.
