BERLIN, Sunday. Nov. 25. (Via Lon don)-A report received from the vest ern front describing the American troops in action says:
 Independent American units have been thrown into the trench line. The felt hat has given way to the English fashioned steel helmet and the whist ling and bursting of shells have be- come familiar sounds to American ears.
 For the first time since they have been participating as independent con- tingents the Americans have tasted the read hand scuffle. But this time, the shells did not memerly fly over their heads but into the very trenches they had selected, and presently, with an in fernal noise, these things which the young soldiers believed to be a firm protection, began to quake and burst.
 And hard on the heels of this, firm attack by our on-rushing Bavarian re- serves forced the way into the Ameri can trenches and musket shots and bursting hand grenades relieved the ar tillery fire.
 Our new opponents made a most determined defense and desperate

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The Brit ish drive on Cambrai will be followed up relentlessly by similar offensives along the western front in the opinion of officers familiar with what is in prospect in France. Authoritative an- nouncement already has been made abroad that this winter would see no halt in operations and with the return of American divisional commanders from observation tours in France It has become certain that the French and British armies will prosecute mid winter campaigns such as never before attempted.
 Secretary Baker said today that the returning officers would proceed to their divisional camps and resume the personal direction of training of their men. So far as known there will be no general conference of the officers here but it is likely that they will call on MT. Baker and general staff officials while enroute to their posts.
 From these officers it is expected that officials will get graphic reports of the preparations being made for the continuous winter offensive. Al ready the allied troops have nosed their way forward against more ser ious obstacles than they will encounter later when the cold has hardened the ground for the passage of troops and artillery.
 Meager official reports of the prog ress of the drive on Cambrai indicate clearly that General Byng's forces are aiming at a great encircling move ment With a wide wedge driven into the Cambrai front, the British com mander apparently is working his way ! behind the German lines on his left

Eighty Itallams Under Arrest

TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wlre1

SEATTLE, Nov. 27.-As a result of a series of raids conducted by Federal agents working under the direction of Immigration Inspector Henry White, 55 Italians, alleged to be international anarchists, are tonight locked in cells at the Seattle immigration station, while a number of others are under arrest at Spokane and Tacoma. It is believed that in all nearly eighty men were taken.
 Those arrested are believed by fed eral officers to be members of the Circola Studi Sociale, a secret anar- chistic society said to have a member ship of 100000 in the United States. They are said to have plotted the assassination of the king of Italy and bloody disturbances in this country as part of the world wide propaganda for Teutonic victory in the war.
 Many of those arrested here were employed in shipyards, working on government contracts; others were coal miners.
 Officers making arrests here met with armed resistance in one instance when deputies in the water front dis trict were fired upon but none was wounded. Arrests elsewhere were made without trouble.
 According to federal officers the suspects, in cooperation with other anarchistic societies throughout this country and Europe have been plot ting to ruin the morale of the Italian armies and injure the cause of the allies by the circulation of literature branding the war one waged for cap- ita2f6tie Rgofit

GERMANS AIDING
 LEVINE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.- Official confirmation of the news from London that German staff officers are in Pet rograd acting as military advisers of the Lenine faction probably will be followed promptly by action on the part of the United States and the al- lies definitely to place the BolshevilIi regime in the list of Germany's allies. If the Germans are there, all doubt as to the purpose of the BolsheviH is removed and the diplomats will be obliged to withdraw to a neutral cap ital. Such a development undoubtedly would be followed by immediate can cellation of all orders for supplies of Russia both in the United States and Japan. Several cargOes from the United States are now on the way to Naldivostok but these can be diverted by wireless orders. and it has been understood that their delivery would be contingent upon evidence that they would not fall iHto lnfriendly hands.
 With Germans openly advising Lenine and his followers, it is assumed that efforts will be made to carry Russia into the position of an active ally of the central powers. This might produce a most serious situation by making available to Germany vast stores of food. oil and cotton of Russia and even though the Teutons found it impossible to convert the disorganized country into an active military ally, the million or more German Austrian and Turkish prisoners held in Russia would be freed for service with the Teutonic armies.
 Ever since the overturning of the Kerensky government military strate- gists here have been anticipating such conditions as exist today in Rus sia. This is one of the priscipal prob lens with which the inter-allied war council in Paris is expected to deal Without being bound by any special instructions, Colonel House and his military adviser, General Bliss. will cooperate with the representatives of the entente powers in framing some policy to meet the situation.
 Strong hope is felt that an attempt by Denire tO turn Russia over to Ger many will meet with powerful resist ance at home Any action decided upon by the allies will be directed at the Petrograd extremists and not at the people of Russia.
 Reports that come from the Don Cossack country that the hetman, Gen eral Kaledines, may be the master of the situation through his control of the food which is necessary to maintain any military force in the north of Russia, have encouraged mil itary experts here to believe that in spite of the aid of his German advisers, Lfnine and his faction may be brought t1 terms

WASHINGTON, Nov 27-"The week just closed has been one very favorable to the allied arms says the war de- partment's official communique issued today reviewing military operations for the week ending Saturday.
 'The success of the British offensive in the region of Cambrai and the steady resistance of the Italians in the face of the repeated attacks of the Austro- German forces are two factors which may be considered as correla- tive elements of one and the same movement.
 Tt is evident that the enemy took the offensive in Italy hoping thereby to extricate himself from the increas- ingly difficult position in which his forces find themselves in the west The German higher command were appar- ently confident that, in order to save Italy from invasion, such important contingents of French ad British troops would be detached from the western front as to render any further allied offensives in this theater impossible.
 Though the French and British have both dispatched large contingents to Italy, this has in no way hampered the continuance of their offensive opera
 
 forces, the slow yet relentless sapping of his man power by continued and sudden offensive thrusts, which must eventually result in the softening of his line in the west. This is the ulti- mate objective of the series of inten- sive offensives so successfully pursued by the allies during the past six months.
 The military situation is dominated by the spectacular success gained by the British forces in their thrust to- ward Cambrai. By adopting new tac- tical methods the British forces have been able to record a greater success when measured by captured terrain, than any hitherto achieved by either | belligerent in the same space of time along the western front. Through the clements of surprise, the British nu- merical superiority in men and mobile material, an unusual number of tanks and the deployment of cavalry, the British were able to record a decided success with very great economy of munitions and slight casualties. The German lines of defense on frontage of six miles astride the Cambrai- Ba- paume road were captured and the Scheldt canal in front of Cambrai was crossed.
 
 ant railroad and canal lines of com municatlon, now comes under the i'm mediate fire of British field guns which can easily render the continued tenure of the city by enemy difficult.
 The number of prisoners enurner- ated hitherto is over 10000 which ex- ceeds the total British casualties.
 Along the front held by the French forces, the latter have achieved a sue cessful coup de main south of Juvin- court, in Champagne, resulting in. the capture of some elements of enemy trenches and the taking of numerous prisoners. Lively artillery duels took place north of the Chemin des Danes and in the Verdun Sector, where, as foI several weeks past, the enemy con tinued to Lombard the French posi- tions in Chaume wood. In the sector where our troops are training, in- creased artillery activity is noted Continued on Page Two)

ONLY ID OPERATE RAILROADS + WAR
 MAKES NECESSARY
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The rail road problem was discussed at length at today's cabinet meeting. Afterward it was said that government operation of railroads during the war will be attempted only if it becomes certain the roads themselves are unable to deal with difficulties that confront them.
 The general belief among admins tration officials is that the pooling plan about to be inaugurated by the roads should be given a thorough try out and that if it fails the government then should take a hand. There is some doubt, however, that any pooling plan will work as well as it might, so long as each road is compelled to concern itself with its individual profits.
 Since congestion and coal distribu- tion are linked so closely, officials are watching a movement towards the pooling of coal shipments in the mid dle west. If the plan works well it will be extended with government en- couragement to other districts. Gov ernment requisitioning of coal and d general government coal pool are con sidered likely next year. At present there is a disposition to let contracts run. out before a government pool is formed
 The committee of railroad heads named here yesterday by the railroad war board to direct operation of the railroad pool will hold it's first meeting tomorrow in Pittsburg. Fairfax Har- rison. chairman of the war board, today blamed much of the freight conges - tion in the east to routine priority or ders issued by government depart ments.
 In the country as a whole, Mr liar rison said congestion is not so severe.
 Reports from the vest he added, show no serious congestion and that the railroads are handling the traffic in as satisfactory a manner as could be expected in view of the large vol ! ume. They are unable to furnish all the cars asked for, but this is largely due to the detention of cars in east 1 ern territory. In the southeast the roads could handle a still larger busi- | ness"

FOR MORE UNIFIED ACTION
 ON PART OF THE ALLIES IN '7sa'' PROSECUTION OF THE WAR
lRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

The representatives of the chief na- tlons at war with the Teutonic allies are assembling in Paris for the inter- allied conference at which are to be discussed momentous questions for more unified action in the prosecution of the war.
 The American, British and Italian missions already have reached the French capital They are led respec- lively by Colonel E. NJ House. David Lloyd George, the British prime min ister, and Vittorio Orlando. the ItaI- ian premier.
 In addition to determining a basis for stronger joint action against tbe enemy countries, the conferees doubt less also will discuss at length the ano- malous situation in Russia where the Bolsheviki factions are in control and where German staff officers are report ed to be acting as, military advisers to the Len1ne government. Possibly A most pertinent point in the discussion will be the future attitude of the allied countries towards Russia-whether the situation as it now sstands does not place the Bolsheviki government and us followers in the category of allies of the central powers
 Inside Russia the unsettled condition or affairs seems to be growing more serious. All communication has been severed between north and south Rus- sia, even the foreign embassies in Pet rograd being unable to get in touch with Odessa and other points to the south. Unofficial advices are to the effect that the Russian northern army Is In dire straits for food, having had no bread for several days.
 Around the village of Bourbon and Bourbon wood and about Fontaine Notre Dame in the region of Cambrai. the British troops are keeping hard after the Germans. In both sectors General Byng's forces again have made considerable progress, especially at tontaine, where, having been evicted by the Germans after the initial drive Of last week they again have obtained footing in the town and have ad- vanced almost to the main street. The southern portion of Bourbon village also was entered by the British after hot fight, but after having rescued some of their troops who had been isolated l drew to their original positions | Possibly in a supreme endeavor tc break the Italian line before the Brit ish and French endorsements entel the fray, the Austro Germans, com prising an entire division, have attacked | the Italians in the Brenta valley, on the northern sector of the Italian front The offensive was stopped by the Ital' ian artillery and infantry and the enc. my suffered heavy losses.

probably demonstrated to be sufficient to retard, if not to prevent any sudden rush through the passes leading to the Venetian plains. This was regarded as a serious menace six days ago but as each day has shown the Italian lines holding solid against repeated attacks and their defenders even to take the aggressive against heavy odds, the feeling of gravity that then prevails is changing to one of re- stored confidence and unwavering de- termination, coupled with spirit of buoyancy which pervades all ranks of the army and civilian life.
 There is also the feeling that friend ly allied support is near at timely moment and that the mingled ranks of gray, blue and khaki will combine. to form the barrier that Italy has sus- tained alone until now.
 Many British officers were at head quarters today and the streets showed almost as much khaki as gray. The Prince of Wales renewed his early visit going along the streets and ming ling with the officers at public res taurants in the most democratic fash ion.
