WAR COUNCIL ENDS.
COL. HOUSE DELIVERS CLOSING
ADDRESS.
Silent Statesman Declares Clcmcnccau
Spoke Prophetic Words When He
Told of Work.

Paris, Dec. 3.--The interallied war
conference was closed today with a
brief address by Col. e. NJ House,
chairman of the American mission.
Colonel House, who delivered the
closing address at the request of Pre-
mier Clemenceau, said:
m. Clemenceau, the president of
the French council in welcoming the
delegates to this conference declared
that we had met to work. His words
were prophetic. There has been CO.
ordination and a unity of purpose
which promise great results for the
future. 1t is my deep conviction that
by this unity and by concentrated eff
fort we shall be able to arrive at the
goal which we have set out to reach.
"In behalf of my colleagues I want
to avail myself of this occasion to
thank the officials of the French gov
ernment and through them the
French people, for the warm welcome
and great consideration they have
shown us. In coming to France we
have felt that we were coming to the
house of our friends. Ever since our
government was founded there has
been a bond of interest and sympa-
thy between us-a sympathy which
this war has famed into q passionate
r. 1.-The history Of France is a history
of courage and sacrifice. Therefore
the great deeds which have illumin-
ated the last three years have come
as no surprise to us Of America. We
knew that when called upon France
would rise to a splendid achievement
and would add lustre to her name.
America salutes France and her
heroic sons and feels honored to fight
by the side of SO gallant a comrade."
Premier Clemenceau spoke afte-
Colonel House, saying:
Since it is my duty to pronounce
he close Of this conference. allow me
10 add some words to those you have
Just heard. 1 had come here with the
intention Of preserving silence,
In order to leave you under the i'm
preston made by the fine speech
which my friend, the eminent Colonel
House. who represents 50 worthily the
noble American people, has just de-
Iivered.
I'm listening to him I could no
help thinking that If there is a lesson
TO be drawn from the historic friend
ships. which reunite today in the gior
Ious past of the French and Ameri-
can nations there is no less lesson in
he total abolition of old enmities."
President Poincare received the
MEMBERS OF the interallied conference
his evening and entertained them at

net.
While the work Of the conference
has been completed the
members will continue to keep I'M close

GENERAL MAURICE REpOyT-
ENGAGEMENT IN MESOPO.
TAMIA.
Admits German Gain-DircctOr of
Military Operations Notes First
Loss OF Big Guns i'm Over Two
Years.

London, Dec. 5.-Prtish troops.
acting in conjunction with an eff
cient force Of Russians, have carried
out successful operation in Me,o-
potamia, Maj. Gen. F. B. Maurice
chief director of military oneration.,
at the war office announced today.
Speaking of the German attacks on
the British salient in the Cambrai
area, General Maurice said: "The
enemy mas to certain extent got us
into an awkward position, and some
adjustment of our line may be neces-
sary. We may have to make sligh.
Withdrawals on the north of the sa-
lient."
There is little doubt" continued
General Maurice. that the latest
German attacks in the Cambria sec
TOR nave been planned and superin-
tended by General Won Ludendorff
himself. Won Ludendorff's plan was
thoroughly good one, as most of the
German plans are. 1t was an attack
on both fianks of our salient. follow
ed by an attack in force on the CEN
ter.
His attacks on our north and CEN
Ter 1alled completely but on his left
the enemy succeeded in breaking
through a part of our front. He at
lacked not only our new front. but
on a part of the line as it existed be
TORE, to the south. He succeeded in
effecting a surprise and broke through
TO depth of nearly six thousand
yards-clear through our gun posi-
tions. But we had ample reserves
available and promptly drove them
back twO-thirds Of the distance cov-
cred.
! 'One can not say the Germans have
not made substantial gains as a re-
suit of'this effort General Maurice
continued
For the first time in many a da,
the enemy captured some British
guns. The last British guns he can.
tured were four from territoria
battery behind the French lines in the
battle of Ypres in May, 1915, during
the first gas attack. Since then we
had not lost a single gun on the Yves.
tern front and have captured $50 OF
the enemy's, of which $40 were cap
tured in 1917.
"The number Of guns we captured
at Cambria is 1873. The Germans claim
100 of ours and I am not yet able tc
tell exactly how far this claim is true
as complete returns from the batter
les are not yet in, but the prompt.
tude of the announcement and tho
round numbers used leads to suspic-
ion. l believe the Germans have in
cluded in the count numbers OF
trench mortars, etc, and that there
fore this number will be subject to 2
large discount on investigation. Thx
same probably is true Of the 5000
prisoners which is claimed.
I'm Mesapotamia we are continuing
the policy of striking wherever ths
enemy gives us opportunity"
General Maurice said that whila
there had been much talk in the press
of the danger from further German
attacks in Italy he considered the enc
ny's advance into Italy had been def
nitely checked.
