The American soldiers are ready to
swear by the new caps they wear un-
der their sharpnel helmets. Most Of
them removed their helmets as soon as
they were out Of the fire zone and Of
ficers remarked that the caps greatly
improved the appearance of the SOL
dlers. The men wear them cooked
smartly over one ear. Each cap has
a little regimental numeral near the
front.
Troops belonging to units which
have seen more action than the others

comrades as they called themselves,
listened attentivevly during the long
rides on the trucks on the return to
the billets.

CANADIANS ARE JUBlLANT

Former Commander Directs British in
Latest Successful Drive.
by the Canadian Press.l
Canadian Headquarters in France,
Nov. 21.-The splendid British advance
mas electrified the allied forces On the
western front. Nowhere has the strik-
Ing success Of General Byng and his
forces been greeted with greater en-
thusiasm than by the Canadian corps.
None of, the congratulations pouring
IN on him are more sincere than those
OF the Canadian forces, which he once
commanded so ably.
So we'll the secret of the advance was
kept that 1t was not until the instant
of the attack that a whisper ran from
division TO division that the army of
their old leader was striking on the
south
BY evening, when the splendid sue
cess OF the attack was known, Cana
d1ans IN Flanders were jubilant.
Within month France, to the north,
had shown her mettle and repudiated
the slander of those who said her
strength was broken. Canada and
Britain at Passchendaele had stormed
positions of great volue to the enemy
and captured their hold on the ridges
which threatened his command of the
Belgian coast and F1anders.N Now, to the
south the troops Of the United Kingdom
have broken their way thru the enemy's
defenses for gains never equalled before
on the western front in the same length
of time. Neither the confusion of
Russia nor the ordeal OF italy can Off
set the Importance Of this thirty day
development on the western front, for
this is the vital theater of the war:
No wcnder the Canadians are jubil-
ant. So is all France and Flanders.

Christiania, Norway, Nov. pa re-
solution designed to force the resigna-
ton of the ca binet Of Premier Knud-
sen was defeated in parliament today
by a large majority. Criticism Of the
government was directed particularly
at the foreign and food ministers who
were charged with blunders in hand
ling the food question and in falling
to yield to the request Of the United
States to place the nation on a food
allowance.
Premier Knudsen remarks optimis-

as she was producing enough fish and
potatoes for her own support. He
said he had reason to hope that an
agreement would be reached with
America regarding export of food to
Norway.

The battle in the mountainous region

Brenta rivers Is nearing its culmina-

has become struggle of giants.
1t is now clear that Notwithstanding

slowly now that he Is not being assist

Italians should be obliged to abandon
the Piave river line they may be ex-
pected to fall back more slowly and
offer tenacious opposition.

cIared by Council Of Commissaries
to Mean Continuation of War.


government yesterday ordered General
Bukhonin, the commander-in-c chief, to
open negotiations for an armistice with
the commanders Of the enemy armies.
The proposal to negotiate peace was
officially conveyed to the ambassadors
of the allied nations at Petrograd.
The, council of peoples commissaries
of the all Russian workmen's and SOL
diers' congress, it became known previ-
ously had prepared a formal offer of
an armistice to all the belligerents. 1t
is declared definitely here that not
only is a separate peace not desired,
but the rejection of the armiStice pro-
posal by Germany, even should it be
acceptable by the allies, would mean a
continuation Of the war by the new
revolutionary army with vigor against
German Imperialism until the German
people, inspired by Russian democratic
ideas, overthrow their rulers and de-
mand peace"
See Peace After Armistice.
Confidence is expressed here, how
ever that Russia's initiative will bring
the desired results-if not with the
allied governments, then thru the in
sistence of the people Of the allied
countries. who It is insisted Will bring
pressure to bear on their governments.
According to maximalist govern
ment's plan an armistice will be en-
tered upon first and If it were success
ful, for three months, it is proposed to
assemble a peace conference at which
an attempt would be made to negoti-
ate Russia's policy of a peace without
or indemnities and the
self determination Of nations.
