Victorious Army Pressing
Closer Toward Cambria,

EVERYTHING HAS
NOT YET BEEN TOLD

Dispatches Indicate.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY


Further progress by General
Byng's victorious army towards
Canibrai Is reported today. British
troops pushed further along the
Bapaume-C -Cambrai road and captured
the town Of Fontaine Notre Dame,
2A miles from Cambrai.
Today's war Office statement from
London confines itself to reporting
this single operation. What is 60
ing on within the remainder Of the
wide field Of the British offensive so
spectacularly begun on Tuesday re-
mains veiled by official reticence.
News dispatches from London how
ever indicate that everything has
not been told of the extent Of the
British victory. Emphasis Is laid
on the fact that the calvary 10 re-
ported In action In large numbers,
while some reports declare that Brit
ish forces have pushed northward
from Graincourt behind the broken
wing Of the Hindenburg line, potenti-
ally imperilling the retreat Of the
Germans who were entrenched be-
tween the Bapaume- Cambria road
and the Scarpe river, opposite Arras.

with o denial that the front was
broken, although admitting that the
British and gained ground beyond
the German front lines"
It claims further the pushing back
Of Byng's troops west Of Carnbrai,
where they had advanced north of
Fontaine and a similar German sue
cess southwest of Cambrai, where
the British were forced to give
ground south Of Humility. Humility

a half miles of Cambrai and the Ger

a resumption of their attack after
their original advance, which reach1

General Diaz is still holding fast
on the Piave line and the extension
Of the italian front west to the Tren-
tino, although attacked by huge
masses of Austro-Germ troops at
the crucial point In the line, just to
the west of the Piave, where the line
leaves the river. All the enemy
could gain, however, were a few Of
the Italian advanced positions on

Berlin claims the capture Of the

SHIP BUILDERS
AND STRIKERS
IN CONFERENCE
MEETING FEATURED By EN-
TIRE ABSENCE OF BITTER
NESS, AND BELIEVED AMIGA.
BILE SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.

Ship builders and delegates from
the ranks of the striking carpenters
and caulkers held q conference yes
terday afternoon, and there appears
to be good chance for an amicable
settlement of the difference. The
conference Is said to have been of
the most friendly nature possible, and
being featured by the entire absence
Of any bitterness.
Speaking about it, F. F. Bingham,
one of the parties who is interest
ed to no little extent, stated last
night:
Yes, we had a conference this
BILE and the compliments were freely
bestowed all around. This was righ.
and was as it should be, for we all
know and respect each other. There
is no disagreement over pay or over
the question rs to when the reduced
hours will commence, January 1st-
The one question remaining unde-
termined, is big or little according
to your viewpoint, and among the
committeemen even there was q diff
ference Of opinion. Under onescon-
struction Of this question, the en-
ployers might be required to dis
charge such employees as had re-
mained at work. That would be a
serious matter as the men would th6,
be in the position Of doing the very
thing that a week ago they askeS
the employer not to do, namely, cre-
ating a blacklist. The employers
readily agreed week ago that there
should be no blacklisting. ! trust
some way will be found Of getting
around this point, or of sidetracking
1t altogether"
Asked as to street rnmor that the
strike has some connection with the
German propaganda, Mr. Bingham
said;
''No I do not think there is any
connection. The only thing that !
have heard Of that could form basis
for such q rumor is the fact that
work on my ship, contracted for
the French Government, was stopp
whereas work on the Schooner -John
Francis," owned by Mr.. Lutzs7a Ger
man subject now interned at Fort
Mcpherson, was not stopped That
is hard nut to crack and none of
the men that I have talked TO could
do it. OF course I have not talked to
all of them, or to any of their ad-
visers.'
