The operations begun with view
to closing these two ports, the ad-

successfully completed.
The Importance of the blocking
operations lies in the fact that if
they have been as successful as is
believed, and the Germans have
been deprived Of both their Belgian
bases, they will now be forced to
revert for some time at least to
their own home ports for starting
and returning points for their un-

tempted in Front Of Amiens Fails
Allies Awaiting Renewal Of Attacks
Which Broke Down.

British and French troops south
west Of .Ypres have firmly re-
established the limo attacked on
Wednesday and are awaiting the
next move by the Germans ir their
efforts to drive thru behind Ypres.
The repulse was the second the
Germans have suffered along the
VoormezeeIe-Locre line since the
capture Of Mont KENNEL, but
further attempts by tho enemy are
expected.
Attention 10 being paid by the
Germans to the British line north
Of the Somme in Picardy and for
the first time in several weeks the
enemy again has attempted to ad-
vance his lines west OF Albert. In
local attack against the British,
after suffering very heavy losses,
the Germans have captured $50
yards Of the first British lines, but
were repulsed elsewhere. A similar
local operation at Bouzincourt,
north Of Albert, was smashed by
the fire Of British rifles and ma
chine guns.
Elsewhere along the Flanders
and Somme battlefelds only the
artillery has been active. Paris re-
ports violent firing in tho sector
north Of Montdidier to Haiiies.
Latest reports Indicate the Cdr
man effort in the northwest to
have been in great strength, but
tho British artillery on the east
and French infantry attack and
barrage on the west broke up tho
enemy divisions waiting to i, join
the attack. As a result only two
divisions attacked on the scant
five miles between Voormezeeie
and Lacytte. After much heavy
fighting these troops had gained
nothing and had sustained heavy
losses. Berlin reports the capture
Of e75 Ans!o-Freneh troops in
successful attacks.
Tho weather has improved in
northern France. Probably the
Germans have been waiting for
this to launch another strong
blow. Allied airnen, however, have
taken advantage Of tho rainy
weather to drop many tons Of
bombs on important railway and
concentration centers behind tho
German lines. In air fighting Brit
ish aviators have accounted for
twenty.nine German MACHINES,
twenty two Of which were de-
stroyed. One enemy airpIane was

Hundreds of Soldiers, Marines
and Sailors Break Up So
ciaIist Mass Meeting.
R|OT|NC IN new YORK
Gathering Held for Ostensible Purpose
of Protesting Against Execution
of Mooney Arouses Ire of
Men in Uniform.

New York, Nov. 27.-A Gordon of
police surrounding Madison Square
Garden was broken through by hun
dreds of soldiers, sailors and marines,
who attacked international Socialists
who had attended mass meeting at
which Bolshevik doctrines were ex-
pounded.
The men and women leaving the
hall broke and fled as the men in uni
form charged past the police, but were
pursued into the side streets in all
directions.
Attack Made on Police.
Several hundred soldiers and sail
ors who had gathered in Madison
Square charged the mounted police
who had surrounded the building and
tried to force an entrance, but were
driven back.
They then organized a mass meet
Ing in the square. In the meantime
two more arrests had been made for
the display of red flags.
The attack on the Socialists came
at the close of meeting which threat
ened, from the moment it began, to
break into riot II was called osten-
sibly to protest against the execution
Of Thomas j. Mooney, but Scott Near
ing, who presided, and other speak
ers devoted most of their attention to
pleas for the release of political Of
tenders"
Several Arrests Made.
Several men and women were ar
rested for displaying red flags snug
gled into the garden in defiance of an
edict by Mayor Hylan
Large numbers of men in uniform
entered the building before the doors
were locked, with the avowed deter
mination of preventing attacks upon
the government. They were restrain
ed with difficulty by police and detec-
tives from making an assault on the
stage. Scores of fist fights were in
terrupted by officers.
Soldiers and sailors who were un-
able to get into the meeting sent out
patrols to round up all the men in uni
form who could be found, to partici
pate in the charge on the Socialists
which had been planned to take place
when the oratory was ended and the
lnternationalists started for their
homes.
Socialists Are Denounced.
Madison Square was the rallyine
point for the military. They quickly
staged an impromptu mass meeting at
which speakers denounced the Social
lists as "Bolsheviki." They were
cheered not only by the men In uni.
form, but by civilian sympathizers.

NUMBER NOT DECIDED
President Wilson Probably Will Not
Name the American Commission
ers to Peace Meeting for
Several More Days.

Washington, Nov. 27.-It is under
stood the delay in announcement OF
the names of the American commits
sioners to the peace conference at
Versailles is attributed to two causes:
First, that no decision has been reach
ed as to the number and, second, that
all of the persons whom the President
has in mind for places have not yet
had an opportunity to signify their
acceptance.
1t is regarded as desirable that the
number of American commissioners
correspond to the number named by
each of the great Allied powers. Cor
respondence by cable now is going on
between Washington and the Allied
capitals with the purpose of coming
to a common understanding on this
point.

The belief obtains in some quarters
here that the size of the delegation
should be very much restricted A
minimum of as low as three has beer

HoStiIities Between Chile and

Rupture Comes over Revival of Dis

to Latter.

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 27.-Second
Vice-president Cardenas has been Off.
cially censured by the Chilean con-
gress as ''unpatriotic" because he
made a speech before that body, ex-
pressing the hope that the differences
with Peru could be settled without
war.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Hostilities
between Peru and Chile appear to be
a possibility.
Peru has withdrawn her consular
agents from Chile as the result of
popular demonstrations, resulting from
revival Of the dispute over the prov
inces of Tacna and africa, which Chile
took from Peru in 1883. AS Peru has
no minister in Chile. withdrawal OF
her consuls constitutes a break In
diplomatic relations.
1t was believed probable here that
the United States or one Of the South
American nations will offer to mediate
the difficulty. 1t was also regarded
would carry their dispute to the peace
congress.
When Peru conceded Tacna and Ari
ca to Chile at the end Of the four years
war In which Peru and Bolivia were
completely defeated by Chile, a pleb
iscite was to be held at the end of 10
years to decide the ultimate disposi
tion Of the province. The plebiscite
has never taken place and Tacna and
AFRICA has been the "Alsace-Lorraine'
Of South American politics ever
since.

government has not received official

tatives In Chile for 48 hours, although

Chile and it is believed that a strict
