PARIS, Nov. 21.-Premier Clemen- ceau, replying in the chamber of deputies to Pierre Forgeot, who asked what he thought of society of na- tions," said:
 An, yes, I know we live in a time when the word is great power. There are many, including even men of great mind, who believe that words have the power to liberate.
 No, the same words have been discussed by humanity since the be- ginning of it's existence. The word right the word justice the word liberty, are words as old as man You can say nothing that has not already been said. You at the utmost ask me for action. That is what am here for.
 You believe that the formula of a society of nations can solve every thing But it is necessary to under stand what it means. There is al the Quay D'Orsay commission named by Monsieur Ribot to prepare the organization of the Society o1 Nations, composed of most competent men, masters of international law Messieures Bourgeoise, Renault, La Visse and other emminent minds, and whose worth no one will contest
 We'll they are preparing the So- ciety of Nations. The truth is, many thinkers, philosophers, deputies, sen ators, politicians and Frenchmen, are convinced that some miracle will sud- denly produce the Society of Nations I do not believe that the Society ot Nations is the necessary conclusion of the present war. One of my req sons is that if you propose to me to- morrow to bring Germany into this Society of Nations I would not con- sent to do so.

Germans Forced to M0Ue From Homes Im Bdrred Zones
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-Thous- ands of unnaturaliZed Germans were forced to move today from their homes near docks, piers, warehouses, rail- way terminals and other establish ments declared barred zones by Pres dent Wilson's alien enemy proclaim tion. For many the new regulations meant not only the actual moving of the place of residence but the loss of jobs in the forbidden areas.
 To those without work, including many with dependents, the federal en- ployment agencies were open and the officials were emphatic in explanation that the help of these agencies in find ing new employment for the alien ene- mics would not be withheld. This was only one evidence of the government'S s anxiety to treat law w-abiding Germans with courtesy and consideration while applying the drastic rules to detect the few with harmful intent.
 Along the Atlantic coast where dan ger from alien plotters is considered greatest the registration of enemy aliens will be undertaken first and will be followed later by registrations in the interior
 John Lord O'Bryan, special assistant to Attorney General Gregory in charge of enforcement of the alien proclama- tios, expects to complete regulations for the registration late this week.
 By that time, the war department probably will have placed troops to guard the most important piers and docks at eastern seaports.

 Premier Lloyd George in his address to the house of commons early in the present week said that five submarines had been destroyed last Saturday but he gave no further information on the subject. Sir Eric Geddes, the new first lord of the admiralty, in his maiden speech before parliament, as serted taht between 40 and 50 per cent of German submarines operating in the North sea and the Arctic and At lantic oceans since the beginning of the war had been sunk. He added that enemy submarines were being sunk to an increasing extent but that the Germans were building them faster than they previously had done.

WASHINGTON MOVED BY REPORTS FROM
 GREAT WAR FRONTS

Washington, Nov. 21.-Official Washington was deeply stirred today as press bulletins began to unfold the scope of the smashing British victory on the western front.
 While army officer swere cautious in commenting on the significance of the drive, in the absence of official reports, it was evident that officials regard this as the greatest blow dealt the Germans since the war started. They were especially in spired by the dash and power dis lIlisyed by Field Marshal Haig's great war machine.
 There were hints in some quarters of previous information indicating that a shortage of ammunition con- tributed to the German defeat Ac cording to this view, the German western line has been stripped of am munition reserve and men from the strategic reserves to build up the machine which rolled back the Italian line.
 The German high command, it was said in this connection had counted absolutely upon winter and French and British forces transferred to sup port the shaken Italian lines as mak- ing impossible any major move on the French front at this time. The daring displayed by the British in launching their assault without ar tillery preparation was commented on by the officers. It is the first time an assault upon thoroughly organized trench lines has ever been made eX- cept after the guns have blasted a way through for the infantry. The use of the tanks to clear away barbed wire entangelments and other strong points also was a novel procedure.
 The success of the movement prob ably depends wholly upon the com plete surprise which was possible only by moving forward without the usual artillery fire.
 Officers here have discussed ire quently the possibility of restoring the element of surprise attack in trench operations. Some have held that without destruction of the barbed wire entangelments with high eX-

JUAREZ, Nov. 21.-An cnveloping by the Mexican federal army of the north with Chihuahua City as the apex of a triangle having Juarez and Ojin- aga for it's two other points. This was announced at military headquarters here tonight although the details of the movement, which has the Villa camp near Cuchillo ParadO as it's objective are being withheld for military reasons.
 Rumors of an impending attack up on Chihuahua City were dispelled to- day when news of the arrival of five troop trains at Chihuahua City was received at headquarters here. These troops, reinforcing General Eduardo Hernandez meager garrison in the state capital give a fighting force of sufficient strength to assume an offen sive against the 1000 Villa troops in the Ojinaga- Villa Ahumada sector which is expected to prove 4s effective ss General Francisco Murguia's cam paign against Villa in the Casas Grandes Villa Ahumada district last March, according to General Jose Car los Murguia, commander of the border here.
 General Hernandez. a cavalry com mander, is using cavalry exclusively in his new offensive. He has organized flying squadrons of 300 men each to take the field from Falomir and follow the La Mula-O Ojinaga trail to the Villa camp. Achievements are being sent to strengthen this cavalry line and ad- ditional troops have been sent to Villa Ahumada and west of that railroad point in the direction of Cuchillo Parade.
 A message was received at the mili- tary headquarters here today from Mexican Consul Cosme Bengoechea, at Presidio. Tex, reporting Villa still in possession of Ojinaga and his main force encamped at Cuchillo Parade yesterday.
 Reports of a fight Monday afternoon at Fresno, fifteen miles south of Chi huahua City, between a Villa or Can uto Reyes force and a federal com mand under Captain Acosta were re- ceived here tonight. Forty federals were killed and wounded and 500 horses which were being pastured there were driven off, according to this report.
 Rumors of fighting in Chihuahua City late today were also in circula- ton here tonight but were without confirmation.

 ATTACK
 GOES ON
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Nov 21.-By Associated Press. s.)-Thousands of British cavalry today were cooperating with the great army of tanks and infantry in contin- uing the successful assault begun yes terday by the British troops against the Hindenburg defenses over a wide front in the Cambrai section.
 Open fighting has been going on at many places since yesterday and the horse troops, who long waited for a chance to vindicate their existence in this war, were rendering invaluable services in ''mopping up" the enemy territory.
 Bitter fighting occurred at many places but the British forces, who up to this morning had penetrated strong German positions for distance of some five miles, were still pushing on- ward this afternoon. Masneres Mar coing, Ribecourt, HaXrincourt, Grain court and Flesquieres all lay behind the advancing troops, and by noon the cavalry was to be seen drawing in on the Bourbon wood, which lies west of Cambrai and dominates that town.
 The Masnieres -Beaurivior line of trenches was penetrated today. It is total about 5000, and many guns have been gathered in by the British. Ger tainly thousands of Germans were in the British cages this morning for any one to see who cared to visit them. The German losses have been heavy At least four divisions of infantry have been badly smashed since the fighting began.
 Large numbers of civilians already have been released from captured towns. About five hundred were brought from Masnieres, and other places furnished their quotas of non- combatants who received their deliver CTS with rejoicings.
 To General Byng, who fought on the Gallipoli peninsula, and who won fame as the commander of the Canadians who took the Nimy ridge on the west = ern front. falls the honor of having planned and successfully carried out the present drive, in which tanks and the cavalry have playe dsuch a lead ing part. General Byng staked his chances on the tanks, and the tanks made good beyond the widest ex- pectations.
 Just before these mighty engines went forward to prepare the way for the infantry and cavalry, the general | commanding the iron monitors dis tributed an order of the day in which he said:
 We expect every tank to do its damnedes"
 They did this and dealt the German one of the most staggering blows they have received in many months. With the tank general leading them in 8 monitor which flew his flag, they charged through two of the strongest lines in the German defense system on the western front as though these fortified trenches had not been there and behind them on a front of some six miles infantry and cavalry poured through the great gaps which had been made.

LONDON. Nov. 21.-Seventeen Brit ish merchantmen were sunk by mines or submarines last week. according to the weekly statement issued by the British admiralty Of these 10 were vessels of 1900 tons and over, and seven of less than 1900 tons.
 Last weeks record of British lner- chantmen sunk greatly exceeds that of the previous week when only one ves- sel of 1900 tons or over and five craft of less tonnage were sent to the bot tom. It represents in the aggregate the greatest number of vessels des- troyed since the week of October 2S, when eighteen were lost. Since then there has been a gradual falling off in shipping losses until the minimum since Germany's intensified submarine campaign began. was reached Novem- Der II with a total of six.

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Nov. 21.-About 5000 German prisoners were in the Brit ish cages this morning as a result of yesterdays attack in the Cambrai sector and nearly score of guns were captured.
 The British continued the attack today and the troops which had poured through the gaps torn in the Hindenburg line by the tanks were making good progress in mopping up the enemy territory west and southwest of Cambrai. Both Havrin- court and F1esquieres are well in the rear of the advancing British who were pushing on toward Can taing at the fastest reports.
 Marconi and Masnieres, south of Cambrai, had been entered and the high ground north of Marcoing, known as Frenzy Chapelle, had been fought over, the Germans being forced to withdraw.
