Turk-German Cruiser
London Hears That Noted War
ship Is Finally Out of
Conflict

LONDON. Nov. s.-The former Ger
man cruiser Goeben. which since it
Joined the Turkish naval forces has
been known as the Sultan Tawuz Selim.
is now in Turkish control and will be
Immediately interned, according to ad-
vices received by the Central News.
The Goeben was unit of the former
German Mediterranean fleet. In Au-
gust, 1914, it made successful dash
for Turkish waters from the Adriatic,
but had a difficult passage, being dis
covered by the British fleet. The YES
sci escaped and soon after was bought
from Germany by Turkey. When Tur-
key entered the war the vessel was
manned by Germans and fought during
the Dardanelles siege and later in the
Black Sea. She was badly damaged by
mine in The Dardanelles, but was
later repaired.
The Goeben is cruiser of the
Moltke type and displaces 22,625 tons.

Allies Strive to
Free French Soil
Before Final Hour

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 10 (By The Associated
press) THE French General Gouraud
made his official entry into Sedan at
o'clock this afternoon.
At this hour it appears that it will
be close race between the final cross
ing of the Belgian frontier all along
the line and final action on the armis-
tice proposals.
Disorder is beginning to show in the
ranks of the retreating German army.
French troops, with their cavalry in the
lead, are pressing the enemy closely
all along the line.
The booty increases in Importance as
the pursuit goes on. Several railroad
trains, batteries of artillery intact, i'm
mense munition dumps and stores and
wagon trains fell into the hands of the
Allied troops yesterday and to-day, to-
gether with large number Of prisoners.
i The pursuit of he enemy is being
rendered extremely difficult by reason
of the shortening front, which necessi-
tates the withdrawal Of materials rem
dered useless on the unfinished line
and the doubling Of traffic on roads al
ready congested by conveys following
the advancing troops.
French territorv occupied by the
enemy along the Belgian frontier is
diminishing rapidly in size.

Major H.C. Emery

American Professor, Freed
Recently by Germans,

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. 1O.-Pro-
fessor Henry Crosby Emery, of Yale,
who was arrested last March on the
Aland Islands by the Germans, impris-
oned in Germany and released early
last month, arrived here to-day from
Norway.
Professor Emery, who holds the rank
of Major in the United States army,
went to Russia in 1915 to make an
economic survey of the country. He
was attached to the American Military
Mission and when the Germans made
their last drive toward Petrograd last
February, started for Stockholm with
Mrs. Emery and several others.
They were captured while crossing
the Aland Islands on sledges. Pro
fessor Emery was arrested but his
wife was allowed to proceed.
Concerning conditions in Germany
Professor Emery said:

people had made UP their minds that
they were beaten and were glad to &C.

tralian Machine Gun Battalion. This
letter also explains some Of the feat
ures of the battle not generally known
in the States, and which will prove In
teresting.
"The following is the letter from the
Australian officer commanding the
Twentyseventh Division:
"'France, Sept. 80, 1918.
"'To the Commanding General
Twenty seV enth Division: In making
a personal reconnaissance of the battle
field east and northeast Of Duncan
Post or the morning of September 80
troops Of the Twenty seventh Division
had met with very heavy opposition and
machine gun fire, which was enfilading
them. There were very large num-
ber of deed, all of which were lying
with their faces toward the front, OBJ.
viously being killed as they were ad-
vancing
"Not in any one case was there a man
moving backward when killed. Owing
to the nature of the country, the Ger
mans weer able to get entilading ma
chine gun fire which proved very dis
astrous. Although the Twentyseventf
jectives in all parts, it is very evident
that by their gallant fighting on the
left flank, they enabled the Thirtieth
Division, on their right, to do what
they had set out to do, VIZ: to break
the Hindenburg line.
Without the gallant fighting of the
men of the Twenty-seventh Division,
it would have been impossible for the
Thirtieth Division to advance.
''I am convinced that the officers
and men Of the Twenty-seventh Divis-
ION have done all that was humanity
possible for brave men to do, and their
gallantry in this action must stand out
through all time in American history. :,
