red at Cantigny, near Montdidier in Pi-
eardy. Troops which have been in that
sector for some time covered themselves
with glory, capturing nearly two hund-
red boehe prisoners and inflicting
heavy losses in German dead and
wounded without themselves suffering
greatly.
This record of achievement is official
ly reported by General Pershing. The
engagement bears the earmarks of being
especially sharp but the Americans
gave good account of themselves.
The front covered IN miles was
the largest stretch on which a success
ful offensive operation has been car
ried out by Americans to date. Can
tigny was seized and despite vicious
German counter attacks, was firmly
held.
Active artillerying was reported in
the Woevre and Lorraine. Another Ger.
man plane has been bagged.

Sometimes they thought the tanks

NATIONS LOSS IN
ROAD OPERATION
GREATLY REDUCED

Washington, Nov 20.-Prospect-
i've loss to the government through
operation of railroads and guaran-
teeing fixed. returns to the com
panies has been reduced to about
$500, 100000 for the nine months
period ending October from ap-
prOXimately $500 900 900, the
threatened loss several months ago.
This was indicated today by the in
teTstate commerce commission S re-
port that the net sum which the
government will receive from oper-
atiOns of the leading railroads for
the nine months is $5lS, ,656 900.
The share Of the estimated $50
600 900 guaranteed return for the
year, due the railroads from the
government for this period is cal
culated at q little more than $780,
10000. or nearly 5000, 900 more
than the railroads earn for the gov
eminent This does not take into
consideration big sums loaned to
railroads by the railroad admins
tration for financing improvements,
equipments, purchases and similar
purposes.
Railroad administration officials
predict that by the end of the year,
the governments loss will be re-
turned to less than 800, 900, 900,
and this will be recouped later. as
the increased earnings from high
er rates continue to pour in.

Bonds will have short maturities
and Secretary McAdoo explained
today that by this is meant from
three to seven or eight years. In
addition, issues will be smaller
than in the past and probably will be
marketed more continuously.
The Az per cent interest rate
borne by the last two issues Of Lib
erty bonds may be changed, depend
ing on other terms OF the securi-
ties.
Amounts of future issues, inter
est rates and time of marketing
can not be determined definitely for
another month or two, but the
oversubscription of the fourth Lib

047 900, or 164S per cent more than
the six billions sought, will enable
the treasury to postpone the next
issue longer than otherwise. 1t is
still expected by spring.

for the home department in the
Lloyd George cabinet and was ele-
waited to the peerage, in speaking

that although there was pause in
hostilities the enemy's activities
have not ceased.
Germany has already begun to
try to destroy the unity of the allies
and our unity at home" he said.
Il believe there is a close alliance
between Bolshevism and Germany.
I have had evidence of this during
the last week.
We ought not to relinquish the
weapons provided by the defense

Foe Naval Expert
Shows German Sea
Power Only Bluff

London, Nov. 20-(British Wire
less Service) Captain Persius, the
German naval critic, has chosen the
moment when the finest vessels of
the German navy are about to be
surrendered to the allies, to publish
in the Berlin TagebIat a sensation
al article containing revelations re-
gaTding the German feet Captain
PeTsius says the belief that the Ger
man fleet would be able in a second
SkagerTack to beat the British
fleet, rested on the bluff of the Ger
man naval officials.
In August. 1914, Germany had
about one million tonnage in war
ships. the writer points out, while
Great Britain had more than double
that and, the mistakes of Won Tir-
pitt, the German material was
quite inferior to the British. In
the Skagerrack battle, he declares
the German feet was saved from
destruction partly by good leader
ship and partly by favorable wealth
er conditions
In 1917, he states, S3 submarines
were constructed. while Sc were
destroyed. In April. 1917, Germany
had 126 submarines and in OCto-
ber 14G. In February, 1918, she
had 1876 and in June of the same
year 113.
Only a small percentage of these
submarines were active in opera
ton at any given time, Captain
Persius declares.
In 1917 only IL per cent were &C
tive while 80 per cent were in har-
Dor, So per cent under repairs and
20 per cent incapacitated.
Submarine crews, he says, were
not sufficiently educated and train
ed and they looked with distrust
upon the weapon. In the last
months, he reveals. it was very diff
fcult to get men for submarine
work
Captain Persius tells OF the mu-
tiny that broke out at the begin
ming of this month when the Ger
man navy was ordered out for at
tack
