NOTES SUCCESSES
Of BRITISH TROOPS
Gen. Mel Lachlan Answers Ger
man Claims Of Accomplish
ments at Cambria.

In answer to German claims of ac-
complishments in their encirclfng coun-
ter-attack at Cambria, Brig. Gen. Nc
Lachlan, military attache of the Brit
ish embassy here, has issued state
ment recounting some Of the things
done by the British and French. with
the comment that there is no necessity
for pessimism.
"On the goth of November, 1917 said
Gen. McLachlan, "the British made
their celebrated attack opposite Cam
brai and captured both the Hindenburg
line and the Hindenburg support line
|along a front of some nine miles. Ten
days later. on, the Soth OF November.
the Germans heavily reinforced their
troops there and tried to recapture all
the lost ground. and. in their own
words, to turn our embryonic victory
into defeat by an encircling counter at
tack They claimed to have taken
5000 prisoners and 100 guns.
What the British Did.
Il do not admit the accuracy of these
Figures, but assuming, for the sake OF
argument, that the figures are correct
should like to give few facts as to
what the British did. These guns were
the first guns lost by the British on
the western front since CHe SeCoHu bdt-
tie of Ypres, in April 1915, and before
this battle of the 30th of November,
|1917 the British on the western front
had lost only eighty-four guns, where
as the number of German guns cap
tured by US since the beginning of the
war is 614.
THE net result of the fighting on the
Cambria front is that we still remain in
possession of both the Hindenburg line
and the Hindenburg support line on a
front Of nine miles. On this front we
have advanced a distance of between 5000
and 1000 yards.
Captures From the Germans.
1--WE have captured since the goth of
November l 900 prisoners and 13S guns,
captures which are considerably greater
than those claimed by the Germans. In
addition to these results we have inflicted
casualties on the enemy which are out or
all proportion to our own.
During the year 1917 in all theaters OF
war the British have captured ISL guns
and 115.000 prisoners. OF these 531 guns
and $4,000 prisoners have been captured
on the western front.
''Our brave allies, the French. during
the year 1917 have captured on the west
ern front very much the same number of
guns and prisoners, though / have not
the actual figures with me. This, think,
shows that there is no necessity for pes
simism regarding the efforts made by the
allies on the western 'front.'

DR.. VESN|TCH ADDRESSES
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
Head of Serbian Mission Lays War
to Ambition Of Germany and Aus
tria to Dominate the World.


Directly after President Wilson. in his
clared that the United States was ready
to fight until the restoration of Serbia was
achieved the members of Congress and
filed galleries heard the members of the
Serbian mission ask for normal economic
and political development DR.. Melenke
Vesntch. chairman of the mission, told
Of the Hapeburg misrule and oppression.
He declared the tyrants greedy for land.
Speaker Clark in presenting DR. Yes
mitch, paid tribute to the valor of the
Serbian race.
The ambition to dominate the world
and the determination to check democratic
| movements in their domains were the
! motives of the German and Austrian au-
tocracies in inaugurating the world war,
DR.. Vesnitch said. Serbia, he declared.
| invoked the wrath of Germany because 1t
stood between it and domination of the
near east.
Hopes of the Hapsburgs.
1.-THE house of Hapsburg had even more
reason to wish for our disappearance"
| the speaker continued. "Old feudal
| brigands. descending from the Swiss
| mountains. the Hapsburgs conquered
often frequently acquired. province after
province without ever seeing in their
porvinces anything more than private
| iandS or family domains.
| Even nowadays the Hapsburgs do
not recognize an Austrian or Hungar-
ian, Czech or Croat country, nor even
an Austria-Hungary. They only know
lands and estates belonging to their
IAouse like simple property, considering
the Inhabitants as belonging to and
| forming a part Of their estates.
Prosecuted National Tendencies.
with the exception Of the German,
and from the latter part of the last
century, the Magyar. they have never
tolerated national tendencies under
their rule, and they have prosecuted
systematically every nation or race
with those ambitions. but they have
emptied the walls of their wrath upon
the Jougoslavs. because the democratic
Slovines and Croats had seen in the
Serbia of their brothers the realization
Of their dreams and had openly and
with all their energy favored our de-
lvelopment.
1.-THE feudal and bureaucratic Hapsburgs
have seen in our country a real danger
to their political situation. And be-
cause of this menace. as they consid-
cred 1t, they long ago inaugurated the
policy of depressing the Jougoslavs of
prosecuting Serbia and of thwarting
all of our endeavors toward a normal
economic and political development"
