GERMANS MAX l N (5
 NEW TRY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Extremely hard fighting, with the Germans using great forces of infan- try in mass formation, is taking place along the southwestern and southeast ern sections of the Cambrai salient.
 In the region of Gpnnelieu, La Vac Quere and southWard of Nendhuile and northWard toward Masnieres, battles ragged with great -fierceness through out Monday, but with the Germans mo- where successful in breaking the Brit ish from. At La Vacquerie they again succeeded in penetrating the village from which they were elected pre- viously but in a strong counter attack General Byng's forces threw out the enemy, inflicting heavy casualties.
 As in their previous attacks, the Germans used great masses of infantry but the British forces everywhere are firmly holding their line.
 Although the Germans in their of fensive have been using men reckoned at twenty divisions the British have been able at several points to regain some of the ground they lost in the in- itial attack which was delivered with a suddenness similar to that of Byng's big drive toward Cambrai. Sunday night they had gained the eastern edge of the village of Nillers Guislain and driven ont the Germans from La Vac querie. They held this latter position until Monday morning when they were compelled again to cede it to the en- emy only to take it again later in the day. Southwest of Bourbon village to the west of Cambrai the British also have recovered lost terrain.
 The German war office asserts that six thousand British have been made prisoner during their drive and that 100 guns have been taken from them. A large number of the guns already have been re-captUred. The four days bat tle is described as the most sanguinary since Verdun and the first battle of Ypres.
 Artillery duels are in progress be- tween the French and the Germans north of the Chemin des Danes and in the Nerdun sector. An attack by the Germans north of Fliery in the latter region was entirely without result, the Germans suffering heavy casualties and leaving prisoners behind them.
 Likewise on the Italian front the fighting is mostly by means of big guns. the duels being intense between the Brenta and Piave rivers.
 No details have been received con- corning the negotiations between the Germans and the Russians for an arm istice, although the German grand / headquarters announces that an arm istice already is in force on sections of the Russo German front. In addition to Austria Hungary accepting the pro- posal of the Russians for a cessation oi . hostilities Bulgaria also is to open ne

RUNAWAY BALLOONS
 BROUGHT ID EARTH
 AFTER HARD CHASE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 3.-Two United States army observation balloons that were unleashed by accident and shot unguided into the air. were brought to the ground early tonight. One, a huge bag of the new French type, es- caped from students at Fort Omaha, Neb., late yesterday, and trailing six thousand feet of steel tethering cable, travelled a spectacular course through Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and thence back into Nebraska where it was captured. The other, of a smaller type, carried two army officers when an airplane broke its anchor line and was brought down by the men about thirty miles from Fort Sill, Okla, where it had broken away.
 The Fort Omaha balloon. inflated with 35,000 cubic feet of gas, for near ly A hours played a gigantic game of hide and seek with. Kansas cities and towns as strong winds waited it back and forth. The thousands of feet of heavy cable dragged the ground throughout the cours eand left a trail of destroyed telephone and telegraph wires in it's path. Whole blocks of wires were torn down and poles brok- en off or uprOoted.
 At Newton, Kans., much damage was reported done to residences and bus mess blocks when the bag dragged it's
 'tair' in a criss- cross path across the town.
 The flight of the Fort Sill fugitive, while less spectacular than that of the Nebraska stray, created the more apprehension among army officers and others because two officers were car ried aloft with it. The officers, how ever, brought the gas bag to the ground in safety. Neither man was | injured and the balloon was not dam aged, reports said. The officers would not comment on their flight.
 The airplane that crashed into the balloon was slightly damaged and | fluttered one hundred feet to the ground. The pilot was not seriously | injured

TeutOnS Making Effort To
 Bring Deci Sive Engagement

"So that though the season is not propitious for engaging in military enterprises on a large scale, yet owing to the imperative necessity for a con tinuance of this mobility, further of- fensives are to be anticipated.
 "On the other hand the allies will give the enemy no respite and any of- fensive undertaken by the Germans will be promptly met by a counter stroke of great severity.
 "The battle of Cambrai continues, with sanguinary intensity. The enemy, after the first onrush of British, by bringing up fresh forces has been able to bolster up his weakened defenses, which for a time. imperilled the se- curity of the entire Hindenburg line.
 However, when the Germans had recovered from the first blow and were able to stand their ground, nc further extensive gains of terrain by

 static warfare is giving way -4 ,-- tivity of movement.
 Ut seems that a decision is being . sought by the enemy, who realizes that he cannot endure for much longer period the strain or trench warfare imposed by the allies in the west.
 This explains the effort of the cen- tral powers in massing considerable forces in order to invade Italy-a con- centration of troops made possible by the internal situation-in Russia. This offensive was undertaken to crush the Italians ard compel them to sue for peace.
 Five weeks of desperate fighting has brought them no nearer their real objective in this theater.
 For a time the military situation along the ltdlldH AIOHl was SliOu7. But the enemy had under estimated the resisting power of the Italians and discounted the splendid morale which their forces would display when the full magnitude of the impending crisis was visuaized. .

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Treasury officials today held the first of a series of lN0hferences with western silver producers looking to the ulti- mate fixing of standard price for silver, effective for one year, and to government acquisition of options on practically the entire output of the United States.
 Pressing needs of this country and the allies for silver for coin under abnormal conditions is responsible for the plan. It contemplates govern ment control of the market for Amer ican silver at a fixed price, probably above the market rate of S7 cents an ounce.
 Jewellers, manufacturers of dentis- try and optical supplies and other silver users would continue to re- ceive a supply under the tentative government plan, probably at the standard price.

 Hostile reaction has been extreme ly heavy, and costly counter attacks made by the enemy have enabled him to retake a certain area, as well as occupy terrain southwest of the new salient. The British have the situa- tion well in hand and announce the repulse of the enemy who has been driven from the positions captured.
 "On the Italian front allied co-opera- ton has now been firmly established, in a measure relieving the Italians.
 "In the Palestine theater the rapid advance of the British on Jerusalem, after the fall of Jaffa, has been tenn porarily retarded. The resistance of the Turkish forces has considerably in- creased and the necessity of bringing up further reinforcements and mater ial has caused delay in the offensive operations"

you have in buying Hudson Super-Six
now. More than fifty makers have adj
vanced prices within the past two
months. Cars which formerly sold at
$1,000 and $1,000 now cost about as
much as a Super-Six. There was no
question as to which was the preferred
car then, though because of the lower
price many such cars were sold. Now
that there is no price advantage, Hud-
son sales are at their highest. People
realize more than ever before that a
Hudson offers the greatest value on the
market. They are taking advantage Of
the opportunity that the present market
condition offers. You, too, can save as
they are saving if you act promptly. We
know how many cars we are to get, but
we do not know how much longer we
can accept orders at present prices.
Be guided by the experience of the
past as it affects the Super-Six. Buy
now. It is like buying any other staple
on which you have positive knowledge
that there is soon to be price increase.
Surely there need be nothing said in
this connection to persuade you to Su-
per-Six. It has already established its
reputation on every speedway, in every
endurance test, in the most difficult
mountain climbs, in the most arduous
road trips, and most of all in the minds
of more than forty thousand users.
