AMERICAN OFFICERS
WITNESS ATTACKS
AROUND SCISSORS

With the French Armies in France,
Tuesday, Oct. 23.-(By The Associated
Press )-Several American intelligence
made by French troops yesterday on
the front northeast Of scissors. The
Americans saw crowds of German
prisoners passing to the rear.
Nowhere on the French front has the
fighting been more obdurate and more
fierce than in that small section Of the
line extending north of the Aisne from
Laffaux to La Foyere farm, southeast
Of the old Fort De Malmaison, where
ever since the battle of the Marine in
1914, French and German forces have
been at the closest grips. For months
since the French offensive in April the
Germans have attempted to retake in
rnorsels that very important strip of
tured in one day. The position was an
unstable one for both armies.
Some of the finest troops of the Ger
man army occupied the ground. in
Guiding three divisions of the Prus-
sian guards and one Bavaran division.
These must have suffered terribly dur
ing the artillery preparation as for days
thousands of projectiles had been
rained upon them while French ma
chine guns poured a continual stream
of bullets everywhere behind the Ger
man lines.
Vital for Germans
The crest on which the fight occur
red was vital for the Germans and
they held to it tenaciously as retire
ment meant they would be thrown in
to the valley of the Ailette with it's
extensive marshes. The plateau is un-
dermined with numerous large cav
ems, some natural and some result
ing from quarrying and excavation.
One Of them, Mont Parnasse. five acres
in extent. borders on the Scissors
Brussels road. 1t had been worked in
two strata. forming two stories in
which there was sufficient accommo-
dation for an entire infantry brigade.
This and other similar shelters Of
the German reserves offered the great
est difficulties to the French attackers

BREAK REGARDED
CERTAIN TO COME.
Germany is. Determined Her
Ally Shall Support the
Submarine Warware.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.--Complete
arrangements for the withdrawal OF
American diplomatic and consular or
ticers from Austria Hungary have
been made by Ambassador Penf1eld on
instructions from the stale depart
ment. II was learned today that the
ambassador had ben directed 10 take
this step. the belief at the department
heng that a break in relations is in
ryirablc. The Spanish government
has been asked 10 take over American
interests and plans have been made
TO expedite the withdrawal Of all
Americans If the break occurs.
The last report from Ambassador
Penneld. a brief cable received after
these instructions were sent. sug-
gested a slight possibility that AUS
tria'S reply TO this governments aide
mcmoire. asking Il definition. Of her
attitude in the submarine situation,
might be favorable. No real hope was
raised here. however, and no change
in the instructions followed.
Pending Il reply 10 The aid" memoIre
The Austrian situation will remain III
the same Indefinite state which has
characterized II since the day OF the
rupture with Germany when note
SlullldT, lnOuSu UUi. lucutISdl W 'VI
many's submarine proclamation, was
received from Amba assador Pentield.
Then the aide memoire was sent ask
ing for an exact definition Of Austria's
Intentions, because Of the difference
between American relations with that
country and those with Germany.
The state department recently nou-
fed the Austrian embassy here that
Count Tarnow Ta:nowski the new
Austrian ambassador, who landed at
New York The day the German pro-
clamation was received. could not
present his credentials 10 President
Wilson until the issue between the
two countries was cleared up.
The feeling prevails here that while
both this country and Austria are
seeking 10 avoid break. Germany Is
determined that her ally shall support
to the greatest degree possible the
submarine campaign.
The withdrawal Of the American
diplomatic and consular corps from
Austria will not present as difficult
problem as in the case Of Germany.
The embassy force at Vienna is
smaller and there arc only about j.
consuls in the dnal empire. --latest
official reports indicate that while
there are several hundred Austro-
Americans there, there are less than
80 native Americans who would re-
lurn to the United States in case Of
break.
