Gen. Hais Saves Front In Spite OF
Terrific Raid by Germans.

With the British Army In France.
Dec. 5.-The Germans evidently have
stopped their tactics Of sacrificing
men in an effort to break through the
British lines near Cambria. The Lon
don report says. however, the success
OF the enemy in gaining q footing at
two places Is minimized by the
achievement OF the British in hating
the attempted advance. The Germans
still claim the capture Of 5000 men
and 100 guns around Cambria, but the
British war office says the number OF
captured prisoners on each side is far
in excess of that figure.
The expected drive OF the Austro-

said:
81 left Sydney on April "a. 1917. and
proceeded without any Incident until
the evening Of June II. when the sec

was firing on US. She was about eight
miles off. There was a heavy squall
starting eastwnrd-wind favorable to
this time, and I thought 1t possible
to get away and kept holding on. But
she kept firing on me at intervals Of
about five to ten minutes and was
coming up on me fast.
II concluded that there wasn't any
use and I lowered down spanker, clew-
ed down topsail, hoisted the American
flag. and hove to. Shortly after the
prize officer came aboard and doctor
and about ten men. These officers
were In uniform. They told me to
leave the ship and to go on board
the raider and they would give me
time In the morning to pack my
clothes.
'They took all our men aboard the
raider except the cook. Next morn
ing I went back on board with all my
men and packed up. We left the ship
with our belongings on June 1s We
were put on board the raider again.
Shortly after I saw from the raider
that they cut holes In the masts and
placed dynamite bombs In each mast
and put fire to both ends of the ship
