Four hours later the French infsn-

FIftv-.hree American sailormen, sur

Eight men from the Rochester, who

zone for 113 hours. Some Of the crew
perished from exposure in the lifeboats
and their bodies we're consigned TO the

David Caldwell, whose feet and hands

companions, told OF their experience.

Canoda's Brilliant Cavalry

IL. The cavalry came pounding up IN

ing up the situationfi sent them 5werv-
ing in on either side Of the battery.
Then they charged in straight among
the gun crews, their saDres flashing. II
was over in a moment, and the last
enemy lay trampled upon.
This incident finished, the cavalry
trotted of in search of other adventures.
Not far away was a sunken road which
concealed considerable enemy forces
armed with machine guns. Cavalry
scouts discovered this trap, and, dash
ing back, gave the word TO the COM
mander. The latter snapped out COM
mand, and the squad, most Of wnom
were still unaware OF the presence OF
the sunken road, divided into two
bodies. one of which deployed TO the
right toward a break in the wall OF the
road. while the other drew their sa0res
and charged straight ahead.
The Germans, not knowing that Brit
ish cavalry was in operation IN that
section. still remained in the big ditch.
and the Canadians reached the edge Of
the miniature precipice without seeing
the enemy. They saw them then IN
numbers, and realized for the first time
that they were headed for a drop Of
several feet 70 the level Of the road.
Not a horseman hesitated. They took
the flying leap straight down among
the surprised Germans and began their
work of death. Half hundred Of the
enemy lay dead when the remainder
took 70 their heels and fed toward
Rumilly.

BRITISH ADQUARTER R IN
FRANCE. Sunday, Nov. 25.-The Brit
isb cavalry have had many thrilling eX-
neriences since the battle began in the
Cambria sector last Tuesday and opened
a way for them into the great territory,
over which they have roamed almost at
will.
Stories of their gallant charges with
drawn sabres against enemy batteries
and into strong infantry positions have
been innumerable. But perhaps none
of them had a more exciting time than
a SQUADRON Of Canadian horsemen who
took their way in a northeasterly direc-
tion from Masnieres after the eventful
smashing Of the Hindenburg line.
They swept proudly out Of Masnieres
on their chargers, with their sabres
making merry music against their trap
pings. They returned afoot, and there
bv hangs a narrative Of bravery and
strategy which is worth recording.
For a long distance the horsemen
cantered along over the rolling grass
lands without encountering any enemy.
East of Rumilly they came upon sew
eral British tanks whish had run almost
into a German battery position and
were being fred at pointblank by great
guns.
The monitors were in tight place
and needed assistance badly. They got

Of touch with the remainder Of the ad-
vaucing British forces, and decided 10
remain in the sunken road for time
until ne could get orders. Accordingly
he sent back a courier 20 carry IN
formation as 20 the location OF the
sa1ad. 1t developed quickly that an
other force OF German machine gun
ner. was stationed IN a commanding
position near BY. These opened g grill
ling FIRE on the cavalry and succeeded
in killing several horses within d short
time.
II became apparent that the men ana
the rest Of the horses must suffer the
same fate II they remained where they
we're. The commander knew 10 would
be suicide TO ride out into the open,
and he seized upon an ingenious plan
TO outwit the Germans. The horses
were gathered together and stampeued
with their empty saddles in the direc-
tion OF Cambria. The ruse worked, for
the Germans, peering through the mist,
thought the horsemea we're escaping.
The machine guns came into action
against the galloping horses, and the
troopers meantime made good their
escape from the road. They started
back, but, losing their way, at one time
were actually IN the outskirts Of Ru-
milly. This may have given rise 10 a
report which became current that the
British had occupied the village.

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
N FRANCE, Nov. 25.-The work Of
British airplanes during the present Of
fensive forms a graphic chapter IN it.
self Despite the vile weather, which
compelled them to operate within few
feet of the ground. they kept steadily at
their task and rendered invaluable as
sistance both in Reconnaissance and Of
fensive operations.
There have been almost continual
battles between German infantry and
British airmen flying as low as thirty
feet above the ground. Never before
has this kind of warfare been carried
out on such a large scale. Pilots have
attacked infantry and gun crews indis-
criminately wherever they encountered
them, and inflicted heavy casualties on
the enemy with bombs and machine
guns.
The nature of the fighting can be
seen from the experience of British
pilot whose machine was shot to pieces
by rife and machine gun FIRE and who
finally crashed down behind his own
lines with ten bullet holes through his
clothing, although he himself was un-
hurt. Another young airrlan presented
himself yesterday al headquarters after
having been shot down for the third
time within two days He was delight
ed over his experience, and applied i'm r.
mediately for another machine, so that
ne might 20 out again.
One aviator attacked a column OF
German infantry marching in close
formation and hurled two high-power
bombs among them. The troops scat
tered, and as the airman whirled away
ne saw two heaps OF dead about huge
craters which he bombs had torn IN
the road. There were numerous cases
of airmen successfully bombing air
dromes, troop transports and gun
crews. A large number Of artillery
crews have been wiped out either by
machine gun fire az close range or by
bombs. Naturally. many of the air
men had miraculous escapes from
death. and some, of course, have paid
the full price and have gone 70 swell
the toll Of brave men who have given
their lives for their king and country.
Among the hairbreadth escapes report

ed is that Of an aviator whose machine
was torn 70 pieces while he was fight
ing German infantry with his machine
gun. He was caught in the shellnre
and all the wings Of his machine were
shot away Fortunately he was fly

the ground and close TO his own lines.
He crashed in No Mans Land and found
himself unhurt. He Immediately came
under rife and machine gun fire, but
he found a German rife with some am
munition, and engaged the enemy sin
gle-handed. As he fired he worked his
way back until he reached one Of his
own patrols.
There is not much humor in fight
ing Of this nature, but one incident oc-
Cured which is making the whole Brit
ish air service laugh to-day. One OF
the youngest British airmen was flying
at low altitude, when four enemy ma
chine guns opened on him. He swoopec
down and shot three Of his opponents
as he swept by. The fourth machine
gun kept firing, and the aviator, IN a

fingers in joyous derision at the Ger.

points they have secured since the
great drive began last Tuesday. This
high ground controls a wide sweep OF
territory and its occupation holds out
the possibility that the Germans
eventually will be forced TO withdraw
their lines to the northwest.
The Bourbon position also overlooks
Cambrai, but this city might be a hard
nut 20 crack because the central part
is walled and many suburbs radiate
from It. forming natural barriers
against an advance from the west. Il
seems possible that Cambria might
ultimately become a sort Of No Man 5
Land, dominated BY the big guns OF
both sides. and that this ancient town
with its fine old cathedral and plctur-
esque walls, would 60 the way Of 50

The Turks have chosen the high

the British forces on these defences
and the actual siege Of the city are i'm

Following the fall Of Jsfa, the port
Of Jerusalem, the advance Of the Brit
ish has ben rapid. The Turks in re-
treat hardly contesting the way, evil
IDENTIFY planning to reach the advsn-
tageous positions on the hills for their
.ast effort 70 save the city. The Brit
ish has been rapid, the Turks in re-
four-mile railroad connecting Jeru-
salem with Jaffa, including the june
ton with the north and south line
connecting Damascus and Beersheba.
Their positions about the city lie from
the northwest to the southwest.
Practically all Of the fighting in the
drive Of General Allenby's forces ha.

loped over the Turkish positions, capt
uring prisoners and large military
stores.
The text Of the official communica-
tion reads:
