London Nov. 21Field Marshal Hag has broken the
Hindenburg line
At various points front of at least score Of
miles, the British commandernchef today reported his
troops had smashed their way for distance of between
four and five miles from the first defenses Of the vauned
Hindenburg line
The second lne--nore than mile behind the prelin-
mary defenses--was also stormed by the victorious
Tommies.
Tanks battered down the German defenses, crumbIed
away of the artfuly contrived German cement e-
placements and pondeousy drove forward in advance of
the artillery.
Cambria is almost in the hands of the British
The Importance of the victory cannot as yet be fully
estimated
Not only has the Hndenburg line been penetrated and
at least two Of its lines utterly destroyed but the British
now directly the main German line Of communca
tons--Douai, Cambria and st. Quentin.
The surprise of the British drive coupled with it's
powering force complete and the German demora
zaon utter that official reports did not attempt
estimate the number of prisoners taken nor the quantity
of guns, supplies and ammunition
Field Marshal Haig departed from the custom of with
holding the of generals Immediately in charge of
operations in his statement today giving General Sir
Julian Byng and his third army the credit Of the brilliant
achievement.

Draft ViOlatOrs Are
On Way to Prison

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 21.-"Dr."
Max German and Mrs. Rose Leshen
were on their way to Imprisonment to-
day, for conspiracy to prevent execu-
ton of the draft law. German and his
agent, Mrs. Leshen, attempted to col
lect $4,000 from Joseph Gottstein, well
known business man, on the under
standing that he would be made phys
ically unfit for military service through
an operation on his throat.
Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer
sentenced German to spend ten years
in Mcneil island federal penitentiary
and Mrs. Leshen to pay a $500 fine and
go to Pierce county Jail for six months
Appearing before the court late
Monday, both defendants personally
appealed for lenieney, declaring they
carried out their plan to determine
whether or not the rich were gaining
exemptions through fraud.
Gottstein reported the conspiracy to
federal authorities and through his
testimony the pair landed in the fed
eral net.

HAIC'S LAST BLOW
GREATEST SURP RISE
WORLD WAR BATTLES
Has Cambria, Great German
Communication Centre AL
most Within Grasp
By Perry Arnold

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Nov. 21.-The greatest
surprise stroke of the war, one of the
greatest single strategic achievements
of the struggle and possibly the start
of a victory equal in Importance to the
Marne, is Field Marshal Haig's break
ing Of the Hindenburg line, reported to-
day.
Between the two north and south
points mentioned in today 3 official re-
port, there is a distance of eighteen
miles. Over this whole section the
British had made an average of four
miles.
Haig's troops are now literally on the
threshold of Cambria, the vital spot
in the German communications line.
The biggest town captured in the
drive was Marcoing, five miles south
west of Cambria. With Anneux and
Graineourt also in British hands, the
Britis already have a segment approxi-
mately four miles wide in its arc, show
ed around the depot city Of the German
communications artery.
Iavecauerc lies a little farther to the
south of Cambria, at the junction of
TWO ROADS from Ie Cateuee anu ms
to Cambria.
Flesduires is a bare five miles dis
tant from Cambria. living just beyond
Havrincourt, which was also stormed
and captured.
The British drive must have been an
overwhelming surprise to the Germans.
Ever since September 21, the British
have been concentrating all their ef-
forts on the lines for to the north in
the Flanders sector.
Haig made some localized attacks
there not more than three days ago.
The Germans evidently figured the Brit
ish strategy was to press this Fland-
ers drive increasingly. Their lines must
have been greatly depleted along the
whole Of the WOtan and Siegfried

first MILLION men
FROM UNITED STATES
AWAITED ANXIOUSLY
Additional Shipping Promised
Will Also Be Appreciated
By Our Allies

London, Nov. 81. England looks
|anxiously for the day when America Is
:" first million men, shall be in
France and when America IS first g.
100000 tons of shipping shall sail the
seas, bringing more men, more muni-
tions, more supplies, in the common
cause against autocracy.
The hope of an early realization of
these plans, as expressed by Premier
Lloyd George in his speech opening the
British American war conference, was
re-echoed throughout England today.
1t served again to emphasize the Brit
ish public 8 realization of the vast i'm
petus which America will give to the
allied war machine and to the Ameri-
cans here, at least, it also served as
a reminder of the gigantic task to
which he United States has set itself.
With Lloyd Georges speech open
ing the conference, the representatives
Of the two governments bent to work
to speed up the realization of the pre-
mier's hopes and aspirations
Foremost under discussion was the
British plea for acceleration of Am
erica's concentration of fighting men
at the front. From Lloyd George s
words, it was evident England hopes
for all speed in this mobilization.
"Like Britain the premier said,
4" the United States is a pacific power
and she, therefore, has had to build
up war organization from the start.
In doing so she can learn from many
mistakes which Britain made. Two of
the most urgent matters today are man
power at the fronts and shipping.
''The collapse of Russia and the re-
verses of Italy make it even more i'm
perative than before that the United
States should send as many troops as
possible across the Atlantic as early
as possible ] am anxious to know how
soon the first million men can be ex-
pected in France
The premier detailed the allies need
in aeroplanes, food and supplies and
reiterated the necessity for closest CO.
operation in the war.
