London, Dec. l,--Strong forces of Ger
mans attacked the British on a wide
front in the Cambria sector last evening
but were repulsed after heavy fighting
in which the attackers suffered great
losses, according to the official state
ment issued last night.
Under cover of tremendous artillery
fire directed ON the British lines and the
back areas, the Germans in their first
rush, pushed over the crest of the ridge
west Of the wood and down to the vi
cinity of the Bapaume Cambria road,
Just north of Graincourt.
The British, after the first shock, i'm.
mediately organized a counter attack
and flung themselves against the advanc-
ing Germans. Late yesterday it was re-
ported that the British had succeeded in
pushing the enemy, although the latter
was resisting fiercely.
The enemy attack was the first Sc
rious attempt made to thrust the Brit
ish from the positions that they OBJ
tanned in General Byng's great drive of
last week. 1t followed night of com
parative quiet all along this front, and
Thursday there was little indication
that big events were impending.

Robinson liked the place and selected
it as permanent quarters. Land he
bought at that time for pasture for his
horses is sull in the Robinson family

famous Robinson opera house. And
it is directly across the street from

Year after year Robinson drove
away from Cincinnati with his show
and every year he increased it in size
He possessed a family Of growing sons
and they were speedily initiated into
the workings of the circus When

enlisted in an Ohio regiment and his
sons continued the circus. At the
close Of the conflict Robinson gave a
percentage OF his daily receipts for
the rehabilitation Of southern school
houses and churches which had been
damaged during battles

shark FIshlna Arabian Industry.

Shark fishing is quite an industry
among the Arab fishermen Of Alden.
The best grounds are between Alden
and Shukra an Arabian port about
eleven miles east of Alden, writes Con
SUI Southard from Alden, Arabia. There
are also good shark fishing grounds at
Aiakalla, another Arabian port some
distance beyond Shukra Shark fisher
men also have good luck al most places
along the British Somaliland coast.
The usual fishing vessel is the typical
Arab sailing dhow. Both nets and
hooks are used in fishing. The nets
are very strongly woven, the best ones
coming from the Persian Gulf, and are
from 100 to $50 feet in length and
about % feet wide Sharks from 3 to
Z feet In length are usually caught in
the nets, while hooks are used for the
capture Of larger sizes. Fishing with
hooks is often done from small boats
and requires considerable courage, as
a large fish will sometimes overturn
the boat and throw the occupants into
the water, where they have more than
an even chance Of being attacked by
other sharks.
