Families Also Called.
The nations OF the world have
failed to realize that when men are

dependents are also called and are
equally compelled to make terrible
sacrifices. Until this fundamental
fact is driven into the consciousness

hOpclessly mutilated and manned
body, the agony of the suffering wife
and children, mother, and father, but
we can ameliOrate these sufferings:
We can mitigate the horrors of war
to the extent that We provide against
want and needless suffering. The
practice of most nations has been to

less of the essential sacrifices of the
fighting forces and the suffering of
their dependents, and then. after the
War-perhaps many years after the
war-to do tardy and partial justice

consideration and those who have
none get little or nothing.
Economy to Nation.
Not only is it the very essence of

Germans Fighting to Recapture.

British Army Headquarters III
France, Nov. 23.-The British have
renewed their attack on Fontaine and
are sill holding he ground between
Cantaing and south of Fontaine. 1t
is unoficially estimated that several
score of guns have been captured.
The British and the German forces
last night rested on their arms along
most of the battle front, after three
DAYS of determined conflict.
Hard Local Fighting.
Hard local fighting developed at
some points, notably in the vicinity o1
Crevecoeur, Mouevres and Bourbon
wood, but for the most part the Brit
ish we're engaged in consolidating
works, and the Germans gave little
trouble in the way of counter attacks
It appears that the British early
today drove back the enemy at al
elevation just west of Moeuvres
known as Tadpole Corpse. This hill
dominates a large section of the ca
nal Du Nord. running east of Moeu
vres, and to a large extent the y'illags
itself, which still is in German hands
No Further Change.
There has been no further change
at Fontaine, where the Germans yes
terday delivered a heavy counter-at
tack. and compelled the British tt
withdraw from the village to posi-
ton a little south of it. The fight
Ing at Fontaine was at close quarters
and particularly bitter.
This morning the Germans in the
eastern part of Crevecoeur village
were maintaining an intense machine
gun fire against the British in it!
west environs.
Rain fell last night, and toda!
dense, low-hanging clouds were let
ting down a steady drizzle, which
made aerial observations very diff
cult.
No announcement has been made
of the amount of material captured
by the British, but quantities of wa
stores are strewn over the battle
area, and among the booty are nu
merous guns.
The total of prisoners SO far count
ed still remains somewhere betweel
5000 and 5000.

erably less than the number Of prison
ers taken, it was announced today
by Major Gen. F. b. Maurice, CHIEF
director of military operations, at the
war office.
The British, said Gen. Maurice, had
advanced a depth of six and a half
miles at the farthest point on a front
cl ter miles, which was a record ad-
vance in twenty-four hours on the
western front and was further than
TIE proeerss made during three
months fighting at Ypres.
The victory at Cambria, Gen. Maui
rice continued, was the direct result
of the fighting at Ypres and. there
fore, the men who fought at 4pres
deserved equal credit for the Cam
hrai success.
The Italian situation, the general
added. was more satisfactory than a
week, ago, but it was premature &c
say Venice was safe.
Gen.tMaurice announced that ope'
rations in Palestine, near Jerusalem
we're continuing with complete sue
cess. The British were still six miles
distant from Jerusalem, fighting II
the hills of Juda, he said, and it Woulc
be unwise to make any anticipatory
statement regarding the fall of the
city.

British Take Bourbon.

Nov. 25.-After hard fighting in
which the troops came into hand-to-
hand fighting with varying results,
Field Marshal Haig's forces now are
in possession of the town of Bourbon
and the greater part Of the Bourbon
wood. west of Cambria, giving them
a dominating position over the much
sought for railroad center and the
surrounding country.
English, Welsh, and Scottish bat
talions aided by the calvary, now dis
mounted, encompassed the defeat OF
the Germans who had concentrated
fresh reserves-men of extreme valoT
to face the British in their door
die efforts to win the positions which
mean so much toward the ultimate
character of Cambria with its ten
tacles of railroads and highways
leading in all directions and on which
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is so
dependent for support.
Principle Objective.
Little else except the gaining OF
this town and Of the wood has had a
place in the strategy OF the British
commander-in-chief since his dash
last week placed his forces west and
southwest of Cambria virtually upon
the threshold of the town. Ever
since TIE initial attack the Germans
had tenaciously disputed every inch
Of ground
The northeasterly portion of the
wood apparently now is the sole re-
naming part of it that is still in
German hands and, being only about
three and a half miles distant from
Cambria, the Germans are doing Their
utmost to ho'd it, and even to drive
back the British who have gained d
footing there.
