ARGUMENTS In
EXPENSE Case
Siberia May Decide.

Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 1.-The origt-
nal action brought by Attorney Gen.
eral William LANCER for a writ or
mandamus to compel the, state audi
tor to pay $500 expense money to the
justices Of the supreme court. was
started before q provisional board OF
five 3udRes this morning.
Counsel for Carl II. Kositzky, state
auditor contends that the attorney
general has no right to represent the
member sof the supreme court, but
should be defending rather than att
tacking the treasury; also that there
is no unbiased member OF the SUI
preme court who has a right to sit in
the hearing, and that the supreme
court has no right to assume original
jurisdiction, but that the suit should
originate in the district court Of
BurleigF- county. The counsel also
contend, that the statute under which
this expense item of $500 per annum
is provided unconstitutional, and that
ali OF the justices Of the supreme
court who have accepted this COM
pensation have acted illegally.
The defense further contends that
the $500 was intended by the legisla-
ture as a fat increase In the salary
Of the justices, and not an appro-
priation TO cover expenses actually
incurred.

u. S. ENGINEERS
JOIN BRITISH TO
STEM HUN TIDE
After Lying For Hours in
Shell Holes, Americans
Engage in Conflict
By Associated Press

With the British Army in France,
Saturday, Dec. American Army
engineers working in the region of
Gouzeaucourt Joined the fighting
ranks of the British allies yesterday
and helped stem the onslaught which
resulted in Gouzeaucourt being en-
veloped for time
Many Americans were caught in
the German turning movement about
Gouzeaucourt and escaped death or
capture by lying concealed for hours
in shell holes until the British had
succeeded in pushing the invaders
back
The German attack was made with
greatly superior numbers.
Many of the engineers seized rifles
and fought side by side with the
Tommies throughout the bitter day,
and many scores of Americans last
night were armed and sent for
ward as volunteers to do patrol duty
in the inhospitable zone, before
which large army of Germans was
encamped.
One British general, speaking of
the invaluable services rendered by
the engineers said "One cannot
hesLow any praise that is too high"
The experiences of those caught
behind the German advance prob
ably surpasses anything which the
evolutionary force on the American
front yet has encountered in the way
OF actual fighting.
one of the trains run by an Amer
lean crew was west of Villers- Guis-
lain which was the first place
through which the Germans charged
on the southern flank of the often
sive. Shells suddenly began to fall
about the engineers and almost inn
mediately they saw a horde of gray
coats charging toward them. The
driver of the engine saw there wa
no time to linger and ran for a n EAR
by shell hole. His four helpers
sought similar shelter and they
reached cover before they were seen
by the Germans, although one of the
crew was wounded slightly by shell
splinter. The five Americans lay
in the shell hole for hours with the
Germans al! about and only escaped
after the british had counterattack-
ed and cr!ven the enemy back.

General Byng's troops last night
pressed near to the village of Viii
lieres-Guislain and along the ridge
southwest of that place and their
new line now is fairly near the
town.
1t is estimated the Germans had
about twenty divisions for their as
sault on Friday which, except for
the first Ypres battle. is regarded
as having been their heaviest at
tack nthe British.
In the important sector west Of
Camhrai, embracing Bourbon wood,
the dominating position in this re-
gion, the Germans have made no
impression on the British defenses.
nor have General Bying's men given
ground between Bourbon wood and
Moeuvres, the northern side of the
salient. Ten heavy attacks ..gainst
the region of Masnieres were driven
off by the British with costly losses
for the attackers, but sharp salient
involving the village made its aban-
donment necessary.
Southwest of NIasnieres toward

Nacquefie where it is said the dead
in twelve hours have numbered
more than in any similar period
since the "eginning of the war. The
British have reached Gonnelieu and
hghting was in progress Sunday in
and around the village In this re-
gion the Germans used four or five
divisions Friday and attacked in
massed -ormation Saturday and Sum
day. At least six or seven divisions
were used by the attackers in their
fruitless efforts to break the north
ern leg of the salient.
