What could be more natural than casting everything to the winds, the United States was to be made a foe, so that the American people might attend the peace discussions and neutralize the venom of a vim dictiye entente.

WOMAN STOW AWAY
 0N SEFADLERS VICTIM
WAS THE ONLY WOMAN ON BOARD THE RAIDER WHEN
 IT WAS WRECKED.

San Francesca. Dec. 12.-PresenCe Vf a woman on board a ship which fell victim to the German raider See adler which operated in southern Pa cific waters, became known today when Miss Gladys Taylor 23 years old, of Messy Rock, Washington, ad- mitCed that she had slowed away on the American schooner A. B. John son. one of the Seeadlers captures, and had been for several weeks the only waman among a party of d20 persons Iharooned on a desolate isl and
 Miss Taylor arrived today with 55 other victims of the Seeadiers raids, all members of the crews of the John son and the schooners k. (. Slade and Manila.
 Love of adventure and travel in dueed her to stow away on the John son, Miss Taylor said.
 T sneaked aboard the Johnson at Willapa EIarbor, Washington said Miss Taylor "l hid in the store room until l felt that we were far enough  out so that the vessel could not turn back and land me. Captain Petersen, whom l had met before, took my pres ence on the boat good naturedly when | made myself known and l was a2- corded all the courtesies of a passen- ger.
 'For the first 26 days of the voyage everything was lovely On June IA everything started to happen. We were sighted by the Seeadler and a shell came hissing over us.
 We were all taken aboard the Seeadler and Captain Petersen intro Guced me as his wife. All the off cers and crew Of the raider treated me kindly and Count Felix yon Luck ner, the commander, was especially nice
 When we were landed on Mopehd Island was the only woman among more than 120 men but they all treat ed me solitely and I was spared from worry"

EMBARGO PLACED ON
 ALL EXPORT FREIGHT
ACTION Is TAKEN TO PREVENT THE TIEING UP OF CARS
 AT SEAPORTS.

New York, Dec. 12-An embargo on all export freight. except for the United States government. on all rail roads reaching north Atlantic harbor ports. was ordered today by the gen eral operating committee of the east ern railroads.
 Explanation of the drastic order was made in statement issued by the general operating committee which declared that it is vitally es- sential that there be thorough coop eration in the handling of traffic for overseas shipment so that the railway equipment which wonld otherwise be available for fuel. foodstNffs and gov ernment and freight shall not be used in moving traffic which cannot be promptly trans-shipped when it reached tidewater."
 It was pointed oGt that as shippers to the United Kingdom. as well as all cereal shipments to France and Italy, are controlled by the British minister of shipping, which is work ing in close cooperation with the ex- port division of the general operating committee, it would be necessary that similar relationship be develop ed with those in control of United States, French, Italian and Russian ocean tonnage"

New York, Dec. l2.TThe Germans, following their heavy artillery pre- parations of recent days, have at tempted to drive a wedge into the British line west of Cambrai, but. al though they used numerically superior forces, their effort brought them only minor gain.
 The attack, launched between Bull lecourt and Queant. was similar to that adopted by Crown Prince Rup- precht's troops when they pierced General Byng's front southwest of Cambrai nearly two weeks ago and caused a retirement of the British on the salient General Byng had pre- viously driven towards Cambrai
 A like purpose doubtless was in volyed in the latest offensive and for its execution huge waves of Bavar- ians were thrown upon the sector in an endeayor to overpower the de- lenders.
 The British, however, held tenac- iously to their ground, except at one point, where the enemy penetrated q front line position
 As in their previous attempt to wreck the Cambrai salient, the Ger mans lost heavily in the enterprise, fshe British moving them down with machine gun and rifle fire in the fighting which lasted from dawn until one o'clock in the afternoon. The spot chosen for the attack was similar, from a strategetic standpoint to that near Gonnelieu where the of fensive of a fortnight ago began. and, had 1t succeeded, another retirement by the British on the Cambrai sector probably would have been necessary.
 Notwithstanding their failure the Germans are keeping up an intensive bombardment of British and French positions all along the western front and daily are receiving additional re- Inducements in men and guns from the eastern theatre.
 Snow is falling heavily in the mountains along the northern Italian front and optimism previls among the Italians that this will aid them defi- nitely in holding the Austro Germans back from the Italian plain.
 Amid the first furries of the storm on Tuesday, the enemy resumed his attack among the hills and was re- warded by the capture of several po- sitions Later, however the Italians, in a counter attack regained their lost terrain, after which the artillery duels
