BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Dec. 3-(By A. P)-Brit-
tsh troops last night reoccupied a Sec
ton of a trench on the high ground
southwest Of Bourbon village on the
Cambria front, which was lost on Fri

now is fairly near the town.
It is estimated that the Germans
had about 20 divisions for their as
sault on Friday, which, except for the
first Ypres battle, is regarded as hav-
ing been their heaviest attack on the
British.
The Germans attacked the British
position at La Vacquerie. southwest

ing and an hour later it was reported
that they had been successfully beat

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Saturday, Dec. 1.-Ameri-
can army engineers working IN the
region Of Gouzeaucourt Joined the
fighting ranges of their British allies
yesterday and helped them stem the
onslaught which resulted in Gouzeau-
court being enveloped for time.
Many Of the Americans were caught
In the German turning movement
about Gouzeaucourt and only escaped
death or capture by lying concealed
for hours in shell holes until the
British had succeeded in pushing the
invaders back. Hundreds Of other
men from overseas were subjected to
tremendous shell fire from enemy ar
tillery and great quantities OF gas
shells were thrown into the territory
where they were working.
The German attack was made with
greatly superior numbers and every
available man as needed on the Brit
ish side to arrest its onward sweep
The Americans gave every ounce Of
their strength to this task, both as
fighting men and as workers, and the
important part which they played has
drawn the highest praise from the
British authorities.
General Praises EN-.
Many OF the engineers seized rifles
and fought side by side with the Tom
mics throughout the bitter day and
many scores Of Americans last night
were armed and sent forward as vol
unteers to do patrol duty in the in
hospitable zone before which a large
army of Germans was encamped. One
British general in conversation with
the correspondent tonight spoke In
the most glowing terms of the invalu-
able services rendered by the engin-
eers.
"One cannot bestow any praise that
is too hign," he remarked enphatical-
ly. Several trains operated by Ameri-
cans were in the Gouzeaucourt sec
ton and hundreds of other Americans
were in this territory when the Ger
mans without warning swept forward
in masses toward the town

from America to the allies, who have,
by their lack of concerted action, lost
invaluable time during the last three

Russia was lost to the allies because
we did not counteract German propa-
ganda in time. Italy has suffered her
sad blow because we could not get
British and French reinforcements

Shall we be too late in the greatest
battle in history, which Germany is
undoubtedly preparing, aided by the
5000 guns she has captured from Rus
