TIERS, BRITISH FRONT (By MaiD
The fall of Cambria was celebrated
in that Little Paris" today by proxy.
The inhabitants had all been evacu-
ated a month ago. leaving only a
priest who managed to linger and bear
witness Of German pillage and de-
struction.
The celebration of the recovery of
the city, which has been a most i'm
portant buttress Of enemy strength in
France since August, 1914, was by
TOmmies and correspondents of
French, British and American papers.
Planes moved out of houses by Royal
Engineers searching for explosive
traps tinkled all over town. A French
correspondent played God Save the
King on a tiny German piano in the
center of the Grand Place. A block
away in the Place Fenelon a British
officer returned the compliment by
playing the "Marseillaise" and Bri-
fishers around him sang the words
in French
There was no German firing on the
city during the day but we encoun-
tered a feeble amount of shrapnel in
the outskirts. Fires which the enemy
started had Quilted choice parts of the
center of the city, but these were
quickly confined by the British engi-
neers.
Speaking generally, Cambria is by
far the least damaged of any of the
large cities recovered from the Ger
mans. indicating either that they fear
retributiCn or are running short of
high explosives.

down every street that we sauntered.
The discovery of two miles of high
trenched entrance to the city. Strewn
just outside the city along the Canal
Del Escaut had sharpened their alert
ness.
Two TOmmies pulled a bell rope of
church near a thickly wired and en-
explosive tank and transport traps
about below them along the road and
in the fields were the twisted bodies
of many Germans who we're being at

the bands and pipes of trim English

long refreshing rests they strung out
along the roads for miles.
Mention should not be denied of the

first British force to enter the city, a
fact which they had chalked on build

way forward. Their insisting histo-

the refusal of the Red Cross to deal
with the Northwestern management
on any financial basis other than a

Following this action of the Red

Northwestern authorities suggesting
that the $4,000 guarantee for a game
in Lincoln be cut in half. According
TO Professor Scott, the game may be
cancelled, if the Evanston school does
not agree to those terms, as the War
Department has now practically TAX
en- hold of the game and has put a
ban on expensive trips and big finan-

1T will be necessary, however, for

a tremendous task yet before US. and
the slightest decentralization or ten

Gus governmental organizations will
confuse and delay the government in

carry forward the German designs, it
is believed in some quarters here that
the time is ripe now for strong and
well considered declaration by the en-
tente powers and America that will ef-
fectually anticipate and counter this
attack.
1t has been pointed out that Presi'
dent Wilson already has twice an.

equivocal terms. Therefore it is as.
sumed that if Lloyd George and
Georges Clemenceau, after consulting
the spokesman of the other allies, de-

German proposals, that reply must
take some other form than an adj
dress by the American chief executive.
