Wants to Fight the Kaiser;
Uncle Sam Won't Let Him

Carl Offe of Wall Lake, Ia, was
the saddest young man in Omaha
Saturday afternoon.
He came here from his Iowa home
to enlist in the marine service Of Un-
Gle Sam, but learned that an unfor-
tunate circumstance of his life pre-
vented that service.
Offe is l8 years of age, was born
in Germany and came to this coun-
try when he was 8 years Of age. His
father died in Germany. His mother,
who lives at Will Lake, has not been
naturalized and the son declared she
has pro-German sympathies, while he
is ready and anxious to do his bit for
this country.
He wanted to be sent to the Great
Lakes naval training station.
"You can just ask the boys over
at Wall Lake if haven't been Ameri-
can through and through" he said
when ..e was told of the regulations
which prevented his acceptance into
the service at this time.
Even the recruiting officer and
others 1t the naval station sympa-
thized with this husky Iowan who
was so anxious to enlist in the navy.

New Triumphs in Sight,

New Triumphs in Sight.
General Byng's latest triumph was
one of hard and heroic endeavor. In
paying tribute to the Third army,
Field Marshal Haig declares that the
captres of the Bourbon positions
crowns a most successful operation
and opens the way to the further
exploitation of advantages already
gained"
Apparently the British commander
will push his advantage still further
and besiege Cambria, which is three
miles to the east. The fall of Cambria
would force German retreat over
wide area.
Take 10000 Prisoners.
In six days, General Byng and the
Third army have broken the Hinden-
burg line, taken score of villages,
secured the dominating position west
of Cambria and overrun territory
equal in area to that gained in the
first three months of the drive in the
Ypres salient. Nearly 10000 prison
ers, 100 guns and much war material
haje been captured. More important
stiR probably is the further exploita-
tior"to which Field Marshal Haig
refers in his congratulatory message.
Around Verdun, the pivot point of
the German line in France, there has
been fighting in which the French
have been victorious. After repulsing
strong German attack on the right
bank of the Meuse near Hill 344, the
French attacked the scHeTny, on a
front of more than two miles in the
same region. They occupied the first
and second German lines and cap
t1lred more than 800 prisoners.

Position Made.

London, Nov. 26.-The Germans
have not repeated their attacks on the
Bourbon position west of Cambria
since their failure of yesterday, Field
Marshal Haig announced today. The
statement issued by the war Office
reads:
"On the Cambria battle front the
enemy has not repeated its attacks
on the Bourbon position since the
failure of its attempt at midday yes
terday and the situation is unchanged.
Northeast of Ypres there was con-
siderable artillery activity on both
sides early last5night in the Passchen-
daele sector. bur no infantry action
developed" ..
Weary Line Firm.
British Army Headquarters in
France, Sunday, Nov. 25.-This morn
ing found the line of battle of the
weary but determined British troops
stretched in a semi-circle about Bour-
Ion wood and Bourbon village. which
nestles at the northwestern edge of
the forest. 1t was a line which had
been established in the face of
dogged resistance on the part of the
Germans, who had fallen back step by
step, fighting with the fury of despair.
All day the opposing forces strug-
gled bitterly at close quarters for
possession of the little village from
which the British were forced Friday
after gaining footing in the rush
that took them through Bourbon
wood. Nightfall still found waves of
infantry surging back and forth
through the streets of the hamlet and
among the houses, their crimson
bayonets telling the story of the ter
rible conflict being waged.- Gradually
the Germans fell back, the British
pressing forward with grim persist
ence, which the enemy. could not
withstand, and the hamlet was finally
cleared of the major portion of the
German troops.
Mopper Up Squad Busy.
Today some few of the enemy still
remained in Bourbon to be mopped up,
but all the main streets of the place
had been cleared and it was surround
ed by a. strong force of British SOL
diers. I'D
A little to the southwest of here an.
other intense struggle was being
staged in the village of Moeuvres,
into which the British had battled
their way with rifle and bayonet and
pushed the Germans out of the south
ern half. elsewhere along. the Cam
brai front there was no infantry ac-
ton of importance.
Prisoners continue to arrive at the
British cages from the front. Nearly

MRS. De SAULLES
Tells HER STORY
. OF IND|GN|T|ES
Husband Rldiculed Her Small
Fortune, Came Home Only at
Week-Ends and Carried
Another Woman's Picture.
(By Associated Preea.l !

Mineola, N. Y, Nov. 26.--From the
witness stand in supreme court here
today Mrs. Blanca De Saulles, told a
story upon which may depend her
conviction or acquittal of the charge
Of Wandering her husband John l..
De Saulles at his Long Island home
the night of August 3.
1t was tale in which pathos and
humor were mingled. There were
moments when the pale, 23-year-old
Chilean heiress smiled broadly at a
part OF her own grim narration and
when the spectators who crowded
the court room laughed so loudly it
was necessary for Justice David F..
Manning who is presiding, to rap for
order.
But the greater part of the story
was so deeply pathetic that jurors
and spectators were visibly affected.
Crowds Seek Admission.
The long corridor leading to the
court room was jammed with per-
sons eager to gain admission long be-
fore the morning session began. The
crowd was 81 dense that court attend
ants, witnesses and others connected
with the trial had to be conducted
through al underground passageway
i'll order to reach the trial chamber.
Mrs. De Saulles testified that in
early childhood she fell while playing
i'll her .ome, striking her head against
a fireplace. Next, in reply to ques-
tions, she told of her meeting with De
Saulles at race meeting near Santi-
ago, Chile, in 1912, nd Of his subse-
quent visits to her mothers home,
Vina Del Mar ("The Vineyard by the
Sea'), near Santiago, and of their
brief courtship and marriage in De-
cember of tn esame year in Paris.
Mrs. De Saulles said she inherited
securities worth 100000 from her
father, who died when she was
child, and that shortly after her mar
riage she gave these to De Saulles.
Ridiculed Her Fortune.
"What did he say to you when you
gave. him these. securities?" asked
Oterhart.
"He said, Why, that's nothing; it's
absurd to call you an heircss," re.
piled Mrs. De Saulles.s
The witness then told of her return
to the United States with De Saulles
and Of his buying her a revolver while
they were residing at Larchmont, N.
Y. She said her husband told her
thar since she would be alone at home
a great part of the time, it would be
best for her to have the revolver for
her protection.
Mrs. De Saulles identified the
weapon, the same one previously in
troduced as an exhibit by the prose-
cution, as the revolver with which De
Saulles was shot. Continuing her
story, she said they next went to
South Bethlehem, Pa, where her
husbands parents. Major and Mrs.
Arthur B. De Saulles resided, and
where her son, John L. De. Saulles,
Jr., was born on Christmas day.
Were you happy there?" she was
asked.
1T wasn't very NICE" was the
answer.
WAS your husband with you there
much OF the timer asked Uterhart.
"He spent eek-ends with u.s. said
Mrs. De Saulles.

CANADA'S DARN
TROOPERS
FOE At CAMBRIA
Repeat Charge Of the Light
Brigade and Fight Their
Way Back on Foot With
Prisoners.

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France, Nov. 26.-Canada was spIen-
didly represented in the great British
advance of November 20, which broke
the Hindenburg line and drove the
enemy back on Cambria. For the
FIRST time since the German retreat
from Bapaume last spring the Ca
madam cavalry went into action with
the horses.
After waiting long time opposite
the village of Masnieres for the signal
which sent them into action, the
Hell for Leather" Fort Garry gal
loped to the attack. They succeeded
in crossing the Lescaut canal and
penetrated the cnemy's country.
Another Balaclava Charge.
What followed equals anything in
cavalry exploits in the history of the
empire. A single squadron found it.
self all alone. Racing forward, with
the enemy to the right and left of
them, the Fort Garrys galloped in sec
tion over the crest of a hill conceal
ing the enemy's guns. Advancing
down the slope they found themselves
facing battery of four light German
field guns. Charging straight for the
battery, sabering everything as they
came, the officers and men raced to
the guns. In line of troop columns
they advanced, coming on so quickly
that the enemy had no time to man
two of his guns. One other was cut
off and put out of action. The gum
ners attempted to blow up TIL, fourth.
The cavalry wiped out that battery
with this word. The ma jority of the
enemy gunners attempted to flee, and
only a few brave men stood at atten-
ton beside their cannon. On swept
the little squadron. The retreating
enemy's infantry were engaged.
Cut Their Way Back.
Dusk found the cavalry two miles
inside the enemy's territory, COM
manded by lieutenant. A defensive
position was essential. With, sword
the horsenen fought their way
through TO- q sunken road. There
they dismounted. Tive messengers
sent back to report their positions had
their horses shot under them. but
struggled back to the lines. Darkness
was falling. The gallant band was
isolated. Statnpeding their horses to
divert the enemy's machine gun fire,
what was left of the squadron pre-
pared to return.
As they had galloped forward,
using the saber, they now fought
their way back on foot with the bayo-
net. The retirement was succession
of hand-to-hand struggles. Four
times the little party met enemy
working parties with the bayonct and
dispersed them. Midnight had passed
when they reached Masnieres again
and fought their way through the
enemy infantry in the town to a
wrecked bridge, where they crossed
to safety.
Forty-three of the men CAME
through unwounded, and they brought
back their wounded and over a dozen
prisoners.

BRITISH AIR men
BATTLE W|THGUN
CREWSAT 80 FEET
New System Of Warfare is
Initiated by English, Who
Engage Teuton Infantry
Almost Continuously. F"

Behind the British Lines in Flan-
ders, Sunday. Nov. 25.-There have
been almost continual battles between
German infantry and British airmen
flying as low as so feet above the
ground. Never before has this kind
OF warfare been carried out on such
large scale. Pilots attack infantry
and gun crews indiscriminately
wherever they encountered them, and
have inflicted heavy casualties on the
enemy with bombs and machine guns.
The nature of the fighting can be
seen from the experience of British
pilot whose machine was literally
shot to pieces by rifle and machine
gun FIRE and who finally crashed down
,behiAd his own lines with ten bullet,
holes through his clothing, although
he himself was unhurt.
Shot Down Three Times.
Another young airman yesterday
presented himself at headquarters
after having been shot down for the
third time within two days. He was
delighted over his experience and I'M
mediately applied for another ma
chine so that he might go out again.
One aviator attacked a column of
German infantry marching in close
formation and hurled two high. power
bombs directly among them. The
troops scattered and, as the airman
whirled away, he saw two heaps of
dead about huge craters which the
bombs had torn in the road. There
were innumerable cases of airmen sue
cessfully bombing ardromes, troop
transports and gun crews. A large
number Of artillery crews have been
wiped out either by machine gun fire
at close range or by bombs.
Many Pay Penalty.
Naturally, many of the airmen had
miraculous escapes from death and
some, Of course, had paid the full price
and have gone to swell the toll of
brave men who have given their lives
for the king and country. Among the
hairbreadth escapes reported is that
OF an aviator whose machine was torn
to pieces while he was fighting Ger
man infantry with his machine gun.
He was caught in the she'll fire and all
the wings of his machine were shot
away.
Fortunately he was flying only 20
to so feet above the ground and close
to his own lines. He crashed in No

NO RESTRICTION
OF STOCK ON
OMAHA MARKET
Measures Taken at Kansas
City to Confine Shipments
to Certain Days Not
Necessary Here.

There is no immediate necessity OF
restricting live stock shipments from
any part of the state to given days on
the Omaha market, as has been
necessary in Oklahoma and Kansas
with regard to the Kansas City mar
ket, according to Everett Bucking-
ham, general manager Of the Union
Stock yards. t'...
Oklahoma and Kansas have been
divided into zones. Certain zones are
allowed to ship cattle to Kansas City
on given days. while another set of
days of the week are set apart for
shipment from the other zone. This
has been done by the federal gov
ernment in order to prevent the glut-
ting of the market during the first
days of the week and the dearth of
consignments on the latter days of
the week. g.,
No Crowding Here.
"There is no necessity for this in
Omaha yet" said Mr.. Buckingham.
Omaha is four-day cattle market
and a six-day hog market. The stock
does not tend to crowd in here the
first of the week and show a dearth
the rest of the week as it does in
some other markets" .
On the Kansas City market the sit
uation is different, partly for the rea-
son that so many of the cattle are
range cattle, and the tendency is to
load them at the shipping points on
Saturday nights and Sundays, which
throws them all on the market Mon
day and Tuesday.
So much is this the case that on
September "a and rs, the first two
days of that week, Kansas City had
$4,000 cattle, while the following four
days of the week brought in total of
only $4,000.
The federal food administration
through its live stock>committees has
arranged that southern Kansas and
western Oklahoma shippers may sell
on the Kansas City market Monday
and Wednesday of the week, while
northern Kansas and eastern Okla
iona may sell on the Kansas City
market on Tuesday and Thursday.
This is expected to bring about
equalization of receipts and stability
of market for four days of the week
and prevent the glutting on a few
days.
In Omaha, on the other hand, cattle
have always tended to arrive on the
market in pretty steady stream for
the first four days of the week. This
is shown by the receipts of last week:
