the car out OF sight and around the

100000 GERMANS
AND BRITISH LOCKED
|NCAMBRAI BATTLE

LONDON, Dec 4.-Forty divisions
OF British and German troops, or $780,
900 men. supported by formidable ar
rays OF artillery on both sides, are at
grips on the elghteen-mile Cambria
front between Moeuvres and Vend-
huile.
The fiery tides OF battle which
have been surging back and forth
across this field since the British
drive opened two weeks ago today
have claimed an enormous number OF
dead, and the ground o. still covered
with the bodies OF men that fell In
the early stages OF the fighting. So
intense has been the artillery and
machine gun fire by day and by night
that the burial squads could not ven
ture forth.
The Germans have continued to
pound both sides OF the Cambria sa-
lient. but with the exception OF a
slight dent made on the southern side
in the Marcoing-La Vscquierc sector
the British lines have remained in
hours
The Germans are hghtinE with
great ficrceness to hold their key po-
sition and the Importance they attach
to this part OF their front is shown
ny the fact that Field Marshal Won

CENTURY MAGAZINE NOTES

Tn an article hy Stephen Graham entitled Inside Russia" which will appear in the July Century, it is said that Russia. as a republic may be profitably compared with the United States. There are so many varying races.-Letts. Lithuanians Armenians. Georgians Turkomans, etc, etc.-and now that the cZaTdom has gone, these races can no longer be looked upon as conquered or subject people. Their voices have full value The differ ence is that in America there is an assumption that diverse Europeans entering the country are ready to give up their particular national feeling and sink everything in the common term America. But in Russia there is no such readiness to sink all in the common term Russia. The nations have geographical associations; some have language and culture. They are proud of their distinctions The ter ritory of Russia is wide enough. not q little plot like Great Britain where Scots and Welsh and English easily mingle. The smaller peoples. moreover. live together, they are not spread over the land and lost collectively as in the United States. The future of the Rus sian republic is therefore one in which nations as well as individual men speak. Even if United States of Russia be realized, it could not be a United States as in America. but must rather be a United Nations.
 Count Ilya Tolstoy, son of the great Russian writer. is in the United States. featuring on Russia of today. Inci- dentally, he is gaining an insight into American life and manners. Ninety
 nine per cent Of the newspaper re- porters who have interviewed him since he came to this country have asked the familiar question, What do you think of America?" It is. he says, a not unemoarrassing question. An article which he will contribute to the July Century he has entitled. My Impressions of America" Speaking as a Russian who belongs to d nation that is very old in comparison with the United States of America, but very young in democratic life. Count Ilya. it is stated. feels that the level o1 cultural development of the Amer ican people does not correspond to the height of its lofty buildings.

Super-Sixes being engaged on the speedway The answer was simple Nervy young chaps had learned that with 9 few inexpensive alterations a Hudson stock car could be converted into racer which could always be depended upon to maintain high speed and finish ever race.
 ''They were therefore able to equip racing enterprise for several thou sand dollars which could compete on better than even terms with the spe- cial racing machines which cost as high as $20,000 to construct. And these speedway buccaneers make racing pay. Just take some of the recent Hudson starts. exclusive of the authorized factory fleet. A Su- per-SiX won first place in the Cincin- natl free-f for-all A. H, Patterson, in a Super Six won the 100-mile Floral Classic at Santa Rosa. Amaury Munos of Mexico City, won beth of nc ''~ annual events on the L1 Corfesa race track with a Super-S Six. Glenn Breed took two first places in two free for -alls at Texico. A Super Six finished second at the Michigan State Fair grounds race, May 30. Another finished second at Uniontown the same day. And these performances were all against specially built racing cars.
 No other stock car could be con verted and campaigned with even fair success as a racer That's The reason Super Sizes predominate on the speed way
 Drivers will tell you that the quality that makes the Super Six such a successful race vess"l is i-G ondur- ance. It can travel fast and 1t al- ways finishes. When faster cars are forced to the pits or d"op out because of engine trouble the Super Six keeps going and takes the prize money. And every Hudson stock car hos the same qualities of endurance and power "nd speed that Super-Siy racers arr Ccm- onstratine on a score of tracks"

 There is one place in the world in which men from every walk of life live on terms Of exact equality. It is the Ruhleben prison camp esta ablished by 9. bluff old Prussian officer, Count SchweTin-W Wolfhagen. He suggested to Joseph Powell, head of the British subjects interned within the Ttuhleben prison camp that the prisoners them selves should run the camp without hindrance from the German author ities. and that the German guard should be placed outside the gate. The prisoners chose state socialism as the most practical form of government for their needs.
