American and Canadian Engin-
GERS Escaped From Guards
on Cambria Front.
RESCUED BY BRITISH TROOPS
Wrested Rifles From Teuton Escort
Motor Truck Used as Tank in
in Charging Enemy.

With the British Army in France,
Dec. 6.-The best of many exciting
episodes related in connection with
the Cambria fighting was that involv-
ing fifty American and Canadian en-
gineers, together with some British
fighting troops. These men were cut
off in the German turning movement
near GOuZeaucourt and were taken
prisoner. A German escort of twenty
soldiers or more started with them
along the road leading from Gouzeau-
court to Cambria. AS they were pro-
ceeding disconsolately toward the
zone of the German prison cages, they
came upon small body of British
troops, who had also been cut off from
their comrades, and were wandering
about. The British Tommies immedi-
ately charged towards them
Fought Guards Barehanded
The Germans tried to drive their
captives off towards La Vacquerie,
but the prisoners hurled themselves
upon their guards and struggled bare
disposed of the Germans. The engi-
neers and their comrades took the
German rifles, and worked their way
were able to reach a point where they
could join the British line.
A party of Americans and Canadians
also had an exciting time in a motor
1orry, which, coming unexpectedly
upon six Germans holding the cross
roads with machine guns, charged at
full speed, tanklike, bowling over the
surprised enemy and escaping down
the road before the Germans recover
ed from their shock and fright.

The engineers were not the only
men from the United States who did
their bit during the most intense part
of the German counter attack at Cam
brai. 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
Byng began his great offensive.

We learned later that 75,000 men were camped there. there.
