GENERALS BACK
FROM TRENCHES
Divisional Commanders Say
Greatest Winter Cam
paign Now Coming.

Washington, D. c, Nov. 28.-With
the return OF American divisional
tcamp and cantonment) commanders
from observation tours in France Il
has become certain that the French
and British armies will prosecute
mid-winter campaigns such rs never
before attempted.
Secretary Of war Baker said yes
terday that the returning officers
would proceed to their divisional
camps and resume the personal di-
rectiou Of the training Of their men
So far as known there will be no gen
eraI conference Of the officers here,
but It is likely that they viii call on
Mr. Baker and general staff officials
while en- route to their posts.
From these officers IL is expected
that officials win get graphic re-
ports Of the preparations being made
for the continuous winter offensive
Already the allied troops have forced
their way forward against more
serious obstacles than they will en-
counter later when the cold has hard
ened the ground for the passage Of
troops and artillery.
Big EneircIing Movement.
Meager official reports OF the prog
ress Of the drive on Cambria indicate
clearly that Gen Byng's forces are
aiming at a great encircling move
ment With a wide wedge driven into
the Cambria front, the British COM
mander apparently is working his
way behind the German lines on his
left flank. II he succeeds in pene-
trating deeply in that direction. many
officers here believe he viii force a
retirement by the Germans on wide
front.
Meanwhile the British and French
pressure toward the Belgian coast is
unceasing. A new offensive effort
there is expected as a part OF the plan
OF forcing the Germans back from a
long section OF the coast, where sub
marine bases are located The Cam
brai successes have an important
bearing, in the opinion OF officers
here on this gene al plan Of accom-
plishinE during the winter a decisive
result in the coastal region as the
foundation upon which next years
offensive campaign can be laid.

SOUVENIRS
IN THE TRENCHES
German Helmet, Priced,
Now Mere Makeshift,
With Wooden Spike.

Behind British Lines in France, Nov.
28.-In every battalion at the front
there are aehumber Of confirmed SOU
venir hunters. and sometimes their
influence is so potent that an ep--
demic craze for collecting spreads
through all ranks, and the main topic
OF conversation is souvenirs IN all
their varieties.
In eve.y walk OF trench life one
meets the man with Strong acquisi-
tive habits; in civilian life he might
develop his bent into either finance,
art, stamp collecting, or possibly bur
glary. In the trenches the fully de-
veloped passion for collecting SOU
venirs is often a trial for the collec-
tor, for a collection Of any kind
sooner or later demands place 20 put
IL in and there is no place in KNAPP
sack or dugOut life for a store OF
gathered treasures.
The available war souvenirs are
seldom OF much value. but there IS a
considerable variety Of things 10
choose from in most battle areas In
the early days OF the war the Gel man
helmets were valued souvenirs, FOR
