With the Angelo o-Americans at
Cambria, Oct. IA great battle is
now being fought in this region. The
fighting is on front of nearly thirty
miles and has been extended to the
north. The British are gaining every
where. There are virtually no enemy
infantry operations
North of the LeCate- Stilhaire line
the Germans are in headlong retreat,
says the airplane observers. The
Dourai salient has been made still
deeper and news that the Germans
are being to eyacuate the city may
oe expected at any time. The only
resistance worth mentioning is com
ing from the enemy machine gunners.
The bulk Of the enemy artillery seems
TO have fled so far east of the battle
ground as to be out Of range.
London, Oct. ll.-American troops
operating with the British on the
front southeast Of Cambrai, complet-
ed last night the capture of vaux-
Andsgny and St Souplet.

from the battle front Indicate it is
virtually certain that the Germans
will have to evacuate St. Gobain for

London, Oct. ll.-In the region
Immediately east of Cambria the Bri-
fish have reached the outskirts of

retreat towards the Aisne. Franch
forces have crossed the Aisne at
Termes.
Washington. Oct ii-There is
much speculation here regarding the
meaning of the conference of the
German states called by the Kaiser.
The opinion is expressed that an ap-
peal will be made to the petty sover-
eigns for their renewed fealty and
for the suppression Of disafFection in
their territories. Il is also suggested
that when the sovereigns meet the
Kaiser will either abdicate or will
suggest that Germany make uncon-
ditional surrender to the allies.
Did Maximiliisn Cross the kais.r7
London, Oct Unofficial ad-
vices received here say that Maximil-
lian peace proposal to President Will
son, was made in direct opposition
10 Emperor William. 1t is suggested
that this may be the reason for sum-
moning the German sovereigns for
conference.

proximately 1000. 900 at home An
Industrial Army of from Q to 3 times
the total of the above armies is alb
solutely necessary to furnish the pre-
requisites for all of our soldiers This
war program must be carried through
successfully, for the President has
made the solemn promise 10 all Of
the allied nations in this war that it
would be done The Administrative
Offices in Washington have put il up
squarely to the Community Labor
Boards to supply the deficiency and
no board can afford to shrk the re-
sponsibility or betray the confidence
placed in then.

HISTORIC CHRISTMAS.

Christmas night, 1776, Gen.
George Washington crossed the
Delaware and the next day oc-
Cured the battle OF Trenton. The
Hessians were naturally surprised.
They took 1t for granted that the
Revolutionary army would rest upon
its arms and permit them to enjoy
their Christmas peace. but Wash
ington concluded that the deed
would be bettered by the day, and
he loaded his small army into boats
and crossed the icy waters of the
muddy river. He reckoned cor
rectly, and the result of his daring
maneuver was that he attacked Col
Rail- at sunrise. The commanding
officer and twenty of the enemy
were killed and 1000 taken prison
ers. Two Americans were killed.
and two were frozen to death.
Washington's valor, however. saved
the American cause.
