SUMMARY OF war

Field Marshal Haig has sprung .
surprise on the Germans in northern
France, attacking suddenly on q
front of more than thirty miles and
breaking the famous Hindenburg line
TO maximum depth Of nearly five
miles. His troops are still fighting
their way forward In the most spec
tacular offensive Of the war on the
western front since the trench lines
were established.
The blow was truck without warn
ing, no artillery preparation preced-
ing il. The British tanks in great
numbers smashed their way through
the formidable Gernan wire en-
tansIements pioughina q road for the
infantry, which swarmed irresistibly
forward.
Village after village fell into Brit.
ish hands as Haig's troops pressed
on until at Marcoina and at Anneux
on the Basaune Cambrai road they
were only three and three quarter
miles from Cambrai, the important
German base and important railway
junction which apparently is the
British objective.
Several thousand prisoners have
been taken by the British as we'll as

GERMANS FAILED TO

To Be Carried on Battle
front, Certified

With the American Army In
France, Tuesday, Nov. 20.-(By The
Associated Press. )-Only the fact
that the Germans failed to venture
into No Mans Land on a recent
night saved them from an American
surprise One hundred and sixty
men OF the first battalions to enter
the trenches for a week were given
special training, and, after being
transported TO the front, crawled
across No Mans Land and took posi-
tions in front of and in the German
wire entanglements at a point where
IL had been discovered the enemy
came out every night.
Each man had been trained in a
special task and the entire unit had
rehearsed the part IL intended to play
under conditions similar to that In
front OF the German lines. The Am
ericans reached the position soon
after dark and remained in waiting
all night, but not one German ap-
peared either there. or, as far as Is
known, at any place in No Mans
Land.
The plan was to allow several
groups of ten to fifteen Germans to
emerge and meet a rendezvous. Then
the Americans would fall upon the
enemy and repay them fully for re-
cent trench raids. "
Cough Warns Enemy.
A cold which a soldier caught in
the trenches brought him a wound
in the hand and gave warning TO a
German patrol OF an ambuscade on
another night. An American patrol
had arranged aH ambush near a
sheII-ruined farm house in No Mans
Land. Several of the Americans had
colds and coughs, but managed to
control them. Finally, when the
shadowy forms or an enemy patrol
were seen approaching, one OF the
Americans coughed. The enemy patrol
promptly disappeared toward it's own
lines from which there soon after
ward came a hail OF machine gun
bullets. ONE hitting the mar Who aaai
coughed.
Two stan officers recently had a
narrow escape while walking along
q road In the rear of the lines. They
heard a whizz OF an enemy shell and
jumped, thinking 1t was close by.
when the projectile came down in
the center OF the road on either side
of which they were walking.
The first American regimental
colors 10 be carried on the battle
front in France have returned 20
regiment headquarters. Written on tt
in ink over the signature of the French
commander is a ceTtifcation that
this was the first flag to reach the
front lines. The flag did not fly at
the front as no flags are exhiptted
there. It actually was carried, how
ever. to q dugout in the rear Of the
second line, remaining there several
days.

Washington, Nov. 21.-No ship

to go from the United States to
Russia until the situation In that
country clears. The American gov
eminent, before allowing the export
Of goods already on the docks, wants
TO know into whose hands they will
fall on their arrival.
The cessation of shipments is
temporary only IL a stable govern
ment Is formed which the United
States can recognize. II the Bolshe-
Wiki gain control and pursue their
program calling for q peace with
Germany, the embargo will be per-
manent. A protracted civil war also
would work to keep the embargo

The provisional Russian govern

in all to 1926, 600, 900, OF which S1s1,-
100000 already has been advanced.
Much Of this money has been snent
for supplies now awaiting shipment,
and the Russians have been given

Correspondent Tells OF
Austrian Ruse Which
Was Boomerang
MADE PRETENsE
OF SURRENDER
Caught By Enfilading Fire
of Italians When Trick
Was Discovered
CBy Associated Press.)

Berlin, Nov. 21, via London.-The
situation on the Italian front is un-
changed, the war office announces.
Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy. Tuesday, Nov. 20.--
Going to points along the Piave
river where the heaviest fighting has
occurred, The Associated Press cor
respondent was told by officers OF
unusual circumstances connected
with the engagements. The colonel
commanding the Bersaglieri who
carried the day, said the strategy
which the Austrians attempted
turned the lid against them.
In the fight on the Cemetery road,
IT was suddenly observed early
Saturday morning that number Of
Austrians were coming toWardr The
Fte1 tneg both liAst1a held
up. IS tttush edy to bartender.
For a mom as belisvcd the
had capitt I'D hut IL was then
noticed IN aii the Austrian ma
chine guns had been removed and
closer observation showed thai boz
hind this front line of men With
their hands up followed lines with
bayonets and machine EI1ns.
The Italians let them come until
the range was short and they were
between two enfiIadinR lines. Then,
a deadly fire was opened on both
sides and the Austrians were moved
down in heaps.
IL was then that the rout began.
The Austrian resistance was broken.
At Sega rniil, where the enemy had
a brief lodgment, he was forced back
until he was driven to the brink OF
the river and then into the water.
The AuEtrilns were bayoneted and
killed or captured.
Al colonel eighteen miles further
down the river told OF a similar fight
when the Austrians attempted to
cross In boats from their positions
near Calvechia.
Our men are absolutely determin-
ed he said. Their determination
10 hold the river line is based on
experience You should have seen
them yesterday when the Austrians
tried to cross in boats right there"
he added. pointing to the stretch
where the river widens. "Our men
remained silent while they saw the
boats loading and going to mid
stream. Then they opened with ma
chine guns and rifles. The boats
and men were torn to pieces before
they got another twenty feet. Not a
man was left alive and all the boats
sank. No, you may depend upon II,
they viii never pass"
The appearance OF the men fully
confirmed the coloneTs estimate Of
heir determination. They looked to
be in perfect condition with that fine
calm and confidence which comes
from high morale and sureness.
The officer gave the correspondent
IN opportunity 70 go along the de-
