Canadian Headquarters in France, Nov

in the great British advance on Nov 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
Canadian cavalry went into action with
its horses.
After waiting long time opposite the
village of Masnieres for the signal which
sent them into action, the Hell for
Leather Fort Garry's galloped to the
attack.
What followed equals anything in cav
airy exploits in the history Of the en-
pire.
A single squadron found itself all
alone Racing forward, with the enemy
to the right and left of them, the Fort
Garry's galloped in section over the crest
OF hill concealing the enemy's guns.
Advancing down the slope they found
themselves facing a battery of four Ger.
man light field guns. Charging straight
for the battery, sabreing 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
after another was cut off and put out of
action.
The gunners attempted to blow M the

terry with the sword. On swept the little
squadron. The retreating enemy's in

The gallant band was isolated STAN

squadron fought their way back on foot
with their bayonets.

BIG WIRELESS PLANT CLOSED.
Germans Were Getting Ready to Com
municate from Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires, Nov 2T.--The arrest of
Count Luxburg, formerly German minis
ter to the Argentine republic, prevented
the operation Of gigantic wireless sta
tion which had been erected by German
company on a bluff bear Buenos Aires.
When Luxburg received his passports
the company was installing an apparatus
which was expected to put this city into
direct photographic communication with
the German station at Nauen. Germany
The next day the minister of marine
closed the wireless station and ordered
an officer Of the navy to superintend the
demanding of the apparatus.
Although the official excuse given for
the closing OF the station was that its ex-
periments had not been successful Off
GERS of the ministry of marine have
stated that the real reason was to pre-
vent secret communication with Germany
during the crisis which followed the ex-
pulsion of Luxburg.

FEDERAL OPERATION NEXT.
Government Considering Taking Over the
Railroads.

Washington, Nov. 27.~-Government
operation of railroads, if the pooling plan
does not afford relief from the present
situation, was being considered here yes
terday, rs the committee of vice presi-
dents of eastern lines gathered to per-
feet general plans to put the pooling ar
rangements into effect
Congressional action would be neces-
sary If government operation were to be
decided upon, but that has been discussed
by officials who have been considering
what steps would be necessary. The
operating committee of vice presidents,
which will serve under the general direc-
tion of the railroad war board, met yes
terday with the board to work out de-
tails of the plan of pooling traekage and
equipment of the eastern lines.
Adopted as the most practicable sug-
fgestion advanced, the pooling plan will
be operated entirely by the railroads
themselves without government partiei-
patton. II it produces results further
steps will not be necessary.

els of the Canadian
Wheat Crop.

Montreal, Que, Nov. 27,--Arrange-
ments have been made between the Cana
dian government and the imperial NUM-
lions board on the one side, and the
United States government on the 9TH
er, whereby Canada is being granted a
credit of S250,000,000. This large ad-
vance will enable Canada to go the linn
it on her British credits and her Amer
can war orders
The transaction differs little from the
numerous arrangements entered into by
the United States and Great Britain and
is, in fact, loan by Washington to
Great Britain secured in the usual way
by British treasury bills.
The proceeds are not being handed over
to the imperial munitions board of
finance for ordinary Canadian credits and
American war orders, but are for the spe-
cific purpose of moving the l7O,000,000
bushels of western Canadian wheat crop.
