.COSSACk LOOMS
AS STRONG man
|. IN RED RUSSIA
Major Stanley Washburn Says
kaIedine May Be Man Of
Destiny and Come'Into
Control.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 24.-(Spe-
cial Telegram. -"Kaledine, who has
been prominent in recent cables, is
one of the strong men of Russia
said Major Stanley Washburn, who,
as representative of the War depart
ment and the Russian embassy, spoke
in San Francisco on the Russian
situation. The recent news sug.
gests the possibility that some man
of strength will come into control
in Russia in the near future and stabil-
ize conditions" Major Washburn said.
"Kaledine, the Cossack, may be the
man. There are other strong men in
Russia of which Kaledine is a type.
He might become an outstanding fig
ure. If he does, it will mean suppress
sion by force and promptly of the
Bolsheviki and the restoration of or
der, discipline and efficiency. Kale-
dine is a soldier, man without much
sentiment, practical, direct and ef-
fcient. If he comes into control we
may confidently expect reorganized
Russia. A Russia that not only will
maintain great armies in the field
and hold German divisions now on
the Russian front, but will bring pres
sure against the German lines by next
spring.
Regards Him Highly.
Il know Kaledine personally and
have the highest regard for him as a
soldier and administrator and would
look upon his coming into control
as the first step towards the perman-
ent overthrow of pro-German infu-
ence. in Russia and the downfall of
those temporarily holding control
who would sell out their country.
History may repeat.
Napoleon the Great again and
again defeated the Russians.
There is not battle in the long
list of fights where Napoleon faced
the Russians in which they can be
said TO have been victorious.
Even Eylau was a draw and Freid-
land a crushing Russian defeat. And
there were ID years of this.
yet the first troops 81 the allied
forces against Napoleon to enter
Paris, were Russians and they forced
the abdication of the war lord of Eur
ope at Fontainbleau.
Russia has again and again been
compelled to give ground and sue
cessive defeats are recorded against
it in the present war, but the recup-
erative power of Russia is even great
er relatively than it was a century
ago. A European war lord then de-
feated them repeatedly, but surren-
dered his throne to them at last, and
history nav reneaf"

Peace by Russ Gusts
Him From Civilization

London, Nov. 24.-Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of blockade, in his
weekly talk today with the Asso-
ciated Press spoke Of the pro-
clamation issued by Nikoli Lenine
and his followers in Russia, urg-
ing an immediate arnistice, say
ing: "
"1f it represents the real opin-
ion of the Russian people, which
| dognot believe it does, it would
be a direct breach of treaty OBJ
legations and Russia's alliance.
Such an action, if approved and
ratified by the Russian nation,
would put them virtually outside
the pale Of civilized Europe"

A tall, blond young woman wants

soldier for Thanksgiving dinner, but
she doesn't know his name, so she
appealed to The Bee for aid.
He is a soldier with a marked
southern accent who came in on the
train November 4 about f o'clock in
the evening"" said she.
She was little nonplussed when
told of the great number of southern
ers whose drawl it would be hard to
distinguish. If the soldier recognizes
his own description, or that of the girl
in question, her address reposes at the

'REcAPTURE MONTE ToMBA
On the outcome of the mountain
battle depends the result Of the enc.
my's greatest effort to break through
the Italian lines TO the Venetian
plain. The recapture of the Italian
positions on Monte Tomba was ac-
complished by a. succession of bril-
liant charges which dyed the SHOWS
red and left the ground piled with
enemy dead.
Monte Pertica was lost and won
four times, the enemy finally being
thrown back. Although the losses
have been terrible, those OF the en-
emy are by far the greatest, owing to
the condition of the fighting field and
the desperate heroism of the Italian
troops.
Battle Most Furious.
The battle, which had been gradu.
ally gathering force in the last few
days, broke in full fury early yester-
day and ragged throughout the day,
the night and today. The first blow
was struck at Monte Pertica, where
dense masses OF enemy infantry were
hurled against the Italians Tie
| lighting was extremely violent. Per-
tica was lost, then retakcn, then LOST
again and then retaken again in such
a whirlwind OF enthusiasm as sell
dom has been seen before.
But the enemy's greatest blow was,
aimed at the strategic key of Monte
Tomba and Monte Monfenera Here
the full force of two divisions, one
German, the other. Austrian, was
hurled in furious attack on the Ital.
ian right wing in an effort to turn
the wing and cut off the army from
its line of communication along the
Piave. Now came one of the blood
lest struggles of the war, which went
on all last right and today with
steady succession of attack and coun-
ter attack.
Snatch Back Victory. - +
What the outcome will be cannot
be foreseen, but the Italian arms have
again covered themselves with glory
and have snatched back victory when
it was hanging in the balance. Even
the enemy yields tribute to Italian
valor, for prisoners say their forces
are surprised at the resistance met and
disconnected by the impetuous brav-
cry OF the Italian troops.
Attacks Follow Fast.
Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy. Friday, Nov. ga succession
of attacks and counter attacks fol-
lowed rapidly throughout yesterday
on the hills between the Piave and
Brenta valleys, where the Italians
and Austro-Germans are engaged in
furious combat.
Brigades and regiments, their num-
bers diminished in the struggle, were
reformed and returned to the fight.
In one section where there were 80
officers 27 were killed or wounded,
but the remaining three fought the
battle of the 80. ....
Mountain batteries had been Sc
cured in mountain emplacements and
as the fight ebbed and flowed over
these positions the Italians not only
brought back the guns, but even the
wheels and the limbers, their pride
not permitting a vestige to fall into
the hands of the enemy.
Sweep Entire Field.
The final charge of the day came
at o'clock in the afternoon. The
enemy had struck its greatest blow
earlier in the day and the fierce at

STEADY PUSH.
General Byng has settled down to
steady push against the German lines
west of Cambria, after his recent
rapid forward. dash and has made
substantial progress along front OF
nearly six miles. incidentally, it is
now announced that more than 100
guns were captured by the British
during the offensive, including numer-
Gus heavy pieces.
Valuable high ground around the
dominating Bourbon wood to the west
of Cambria was taken yesterday, and
progress was made further west on
both sides of the Canal du Nord, near
Moeuveres and Queant. Additional
ground also was gained in the neigh
borhood of Bullecourt.
BRITISH RENEW ATTACK.
British Army Headquarters in
Nrance, Nov. 24.-The British re-
hewed their attack on Fontaine and
are still holding the ground between
Cantaing and south of Fontaine. 1t is
unofficially estimated that several
score OF guns have been captured.
The withdrawal from Fontaine was
only for a short distance and the
British still hold the ground from
Containg to the south OF Bourbon
woods. In capturing thesfafiaoHs tutl-
mel trench the British had the luck to
discover the secret of the German
mines and cut the wires, thus pre-
venting the enemy from setting the
mines off. There was desperate
bayonet fight in the tunnel. -Four
hundred German bodies were counted
I after the capture.
Germans Not Ready.
Further evidence of the German
unpreparedness for an offensive in
the Cambria sector was obtained to-
day in the capture of an order drawn
up by a German battalion command
ar the day before the attack. 1t was
His summary of events for week and
he drew this conclusion;
"The attitude of the enemy clearly
is one of defensive" e
The commander was stationed in
the forward area and it is quite ap-
parent he did not know what was 60
ing on. 1t is also evident that the
higher command had no information
or it would have informed him.
Use New Troops.
The Germans have called upon ev-
cry possible source to get troops to
withstand the British attack. By rak-
ing many places in their line they ap-
parently were able in the first 48
hours of fighting to bring in only two
new divisions and some five odd bat
talions. Today another division was
brought up from the Aisne front and
Me One Hundred and Nineteenth
division from Flanders.
Owing to the British artillery work,
there is little doubt that the Germans
will be forced to abandon Cambrai as
a rail head for bringing up troops.
A later report form Bourbon wood,
Just as this dispatch is being filed,
said that the British attack there was
proceeding well.
Irish Show Well.
British Headquarters in France,
Nov. 23.-The attack came after "a
Might of comparative quiet along the

which dominates Cambria and much
of the surrounding territory.
At the same time Irish infantry
with tanks were making an assault
against the enemy defenses about

already had occurred during the last

Some WaY-Order Facts

Here is an instance of what war
orders have done for the United
States. During the 10 years per-
iod, 1900-l4. inclusive. our total
exports to Russia European and
Asiatic) fell short $500, 900, 600.
During the two calendar years
of the war, 1915 and 1916, our
total exports to Russia were S63S.
S0S, 900. These are our own
figures. Russian figures of i'm
ports from the United States are
greater than ours due to the fact
that some goods leaving here for
Russia go overland and are cred
tied to the country over which
they pass in transit to Russia,
But even our figures are vocal.
