LONDON, Jan. 16.-General Byngs successful tank advance on Cambrai was due, in the last analysis, to the steadfastness of forty British Tom mics.
 The morning before the advance was scheduled the Germans made raid on the very sector behind which $50 tanks were mObilized for the at tack. Forty unwilling Tommies re- turned from the raid with the Boche.
 When this was known at Byng's Headquarters gloom descended on the camp like a winter fog on London. Will they put the Germans wise?' was the question on the lips of all the staff and eff they do we're lost" was the reply.
 Next mornings triumph proved the men had kept their mouths shut dur ing the usual German examination of prisoners.

GERMAN GOSSIP IS MISCHIEVOUS
 IN EXTREME

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Gossip propaganda is the latest thing in Ger man wares to be distributed by pro- Germans ill America.
 Insidious rumors apparently rising out of nowhere but carefully dtssem- mated until they have followed a course from coast to coast have in recent months flooded the country. Here are a few of them:
 Secretary Tumulty, the Presidents confidential right,hand man in the White House, has been reported ar rested, jailed at Fort Leavenworth and shot for treason in every state in the union.
 Transports carrying American sol diers to France have been sunk in fleets and countless war vessels have been destroyed by the rumor-mongers.
 Shortages in salt and numerous oth- CT necessities, forecast by rumor, have caused housewives to start buy ing stampedes in many cities.
 The widest kind of reports have emanated from training camps.
 All of these have been designed to create unrest and dissatisfaction with war conditions.
 As a matter of fact, Tumulty is alive and well pursuing his daily work at the White House and admittedly growing somewhat stout on the job.
 Not an American transport has been attacked or sunk that the people have not been duly informed about through the press and any threatened food shortages are announced in advance by the food administration.
 The government counts on the Am erican sense of humor and intelli- gence to deal lightly with the nation wide whispering propaganda" of Ger man agents not yet brought to jus. tice An appeal to refuse to pass on this talk is made.
