most violent efforts.
This news from the battle front

The Hindcnburg line has been smashed to flinders.
In some sections of the battlefront, the fighting is prac-
tically in the open. British cavalry has been in action. The
vast and intricate trench defenses of. the Hindenburg line
and its subsidiary lines have in many places been stormed and
the enemy forced into defense from the open.
French Wild With Joy
Literally delirious with joy,’ 500 civilians repatriated to
France by the British stroke, came back from the front today.
They had been hurriedly removed, from Masnicres to Gou-
zeaucourt by the Germans and then abandoned. At Gouzeau-
court they welcomed the sweating Tommies as they streamed
At Boweglava the Italians pierced j in the town.
the dykes flooding much of the With their stories and the tales wrung from German
prisoners still dazed with surprise of the British blow, it was
possible today to piece together some idea of the conditions in
the ‘luxurious and—supposedly—impregnable German posi-
tions of the Hindenburg line when General Byng loosed his
surprise party.
Not a German had any knowledge of the attack until the
tanks loomed over their heads. Then they literally "blew up ’
in panic. French civilians in towns just behind the hues
described the officers and men as running around "like
chickens with their heads cut off.”
Hun. "Paralyzed”
It must have been hours before this palsy of surprise
passed away among the Germans. British moppers up
told of how men from whose heads the lethargy of sleep had
hardly passed, blinkingly, dazedly, crowded out of their dug-
outs ; or how, uncomprehending that it was reality and not
dream, dully let great tanks crush them flat or furiously
gleaming British bayonets find their mark.
In trenches and dugouts, blankets and cots were still
warm from sleepers’ bodies, or breakfast tables for officers,
daintily set, still smoked appetizingly. A tangle of personal
belongings in line after line of dugouts showed sleepers in
the hunks and cots had leaped to their feet in the first terror
or the moment—and fled to the ghostly dawn above, without
hats, without blouses, without guns, almost without their
senses.
Start* of Wino Found
Vast stores of choice wines were found in the officers'
quarters. Cigars and cigarets were packed there profusely.
Many sections of the boasted Hindenburg line came into
British hands absolutel intact. The tanks had smashed great
gaps, thru which infantry poured and spread out fan-wise be-
hind, taking yard after yard of the "impregnable positions”
from the rear.

Fresh Defender*.
Fresh Italian divisions from the
Isonzo front have been placed In
losltlon for the strongest defense
of Venice. The enemy was re-
ported today to bo preparing
further heavy attacks north of the
mountain lines.

Around Monte Perti-a, the Teu-

On the Aslago plateau In parti-
cular, the enemy made a vigorous
assault enrly In the night against
Casera, Meletta and Davantl and
was driven back after Italian
counter attneks.
There was no artillery. Hence there could be no attack.
No wonder he was dazed.
Lena To St. Quentin. j
The inferno of British artillery did not start until the j
tanks were well over their first objectives. 1 hen it came,
a deluge, a molten flame, it seemed. From Lens to St.
Quentin, 1 am told toitay, the artillery speeded up to fev-
erish violence. _ _
The multitude of tanks found it easy going, "he
ground over which they wriggled was practically flat.
There were few shell holes and few of the monsters
got stuck. Sonic were knocked out around Flesquiercs later
on, when a heavy German field gun, muzzle depressed, fired
point blank at a range of 150 yards.
Behind the tanks trooped the infantry, taking it easy,
laughing in glee at the astonished Bodies and their frenzied
cries of “kamerad.” Several spots on the Hindenburg lines I

—a veritable multitude of the Things.
They were a great herd of gentle-looking, stolid crea-
tures that seemed to browse on the grass-covered battle-
field. The scene was like sonic farm in the Kentucky
bluegrass region. One could imagine the tanks as bovine
herds.
It was still. Only a few desultory shells exploded in the
distance—the regular, monotonous morning interchange. We
knew the infinite preparations on all the gigantic front. Col-
umn after column, mass after mass, of men and machines
and horses and equipment had slid thru the oil night shad-
ows and were lined up at that moment for the greatest of
the war dramas then about to start.
The Kick-Off
Of a sudden the moment came. It was the “kickoff."
Nothing but the tense moment when the hall is put into play
so aptly expresses a moment. A little while—and hell broke
loose.
' It seems almost preposterous that the Germans in a
great many places on their lines did not awaken with the
first snorting of the tanks as they crunched great swaths
thru the Boche wires. But there were countless instances
in which it was not until the "Behemoths” themselves, their
tongues flaming ahead, their steel bellies flattening the earth,
actually came over the German trenches, that the Boche
roused to life. Your German is a creature of habit. He
knew it was customary for artillery to precede an attack.
nY ED L. KEEN
Cavalry Dashed Thru
Here and there behind the tanks and the infantry, the 8taff Comwpondenfc
cavalry swept forward. They had waited long years, these } London, Nov. 22.—cambrai, cen-
cavalrymen, for a chance at the enemy and they made the tor of si* railways, chief depot
most of the holiday opportunity. British infantrymen who
arrogantly turned up their noses in other days at the cavalry*
men, holding the trench hoys ns the real soldier', had to
revise their opinion today. They hadn’t seen cavalry in
action before. Nobody else had—that is, against firmly fixed
trench defenses.
The cavalry carved itself a niche in the war’s history by
the two days work just passed. Today they were still curving.
Their speed gives them the edge. In several towns cap-
tured yesterday, the mounted troopers swarmed in while
the Bodies were lunching.
The Germans were beginning to recover from their daze
today and headquarters reported frenzied opposition at half
a dozen points around Cambrai. But the suddenness of the
blow and two days of tremendous sweeping gains over the ^nTs^Mstory ddved ,mo
Hindenburg line, have immeasurably lowered the German
soldier’s * morale. He had been told the Hindenburg line
couldn’t he taken. It has been taken. Perhaps lie is begin-
ning to think there may lie other untruths in what his com-
manders tell him.

federation organizer, who, accord
ing to statement of Police Chief
Nichols, won’t como back, is back,
was the persistent report Thurs
day.
Local labor officials, questioned,
refused to omment.
Ball was arrested by rollce
Chief Nichols as a ”vag.” The
arrest resulted In demand from the
council for the chief’s removal.
Ball left for Kansas City, and
Nichols said ho wouldn’t come
back.
In the meantime, city fathers
have passed out word that tho
appeal for Nichols’ removal .should
be withdrawn by labor.’
It Is reported that labor, on
the contrary, will demand a public

THAT
Germany has destroyed the marvelous cathedrals of

German shells have ground to dust the glory of

German air raiders have showered London with bombs,

than a hundred times—
More noncombatants have been killed in Venice than

Not only one but many cathedrals equally famous with

story of Italy’s sacrifice—comparable with that of
France—even greater than that of England.

DARING ACT
MAY DRAW
HONOR MEDAL
American Field Headquarters,
France, Nov. 22.—First congres-
sional medal of honor of “coi^
spicirous bravery” may go to a
young army lieutenant from Mee-
teetse, Wyo.
It was expected at headquarters
today that General Pershing would
recommend this for the officer’s
rescue of one of his men from No-
Man’s-Land under heavy German
fire.
Tho exploit occurred in broad
daylight. The lieutenant had led |
a night patrol. He and his men
had already been on duty 13 hours '
in the trenches. They crawled ;
out over No-Mans-Land and lay t
flat awaiting and listening for I
German patrols. One Sammy, ut-
terly exhausted by the day’s work |
and tho exertions of the night fell
asleep in a shell hole close to
German wire entanglements.
Man Is Missed.
When the Amerlcacn patrol re- j
turned to Its own lines just before!
dawn, the man's absence was not
immediately discovered. • It was !
not until daylight revealed all of:
tho tangled weeds and holes of
No-Mans-Land that a count dis-
closed one man gone.
Then the lieutenant, sweeping
every inch of the ground with his j
glasses, located his missing Sammy
tucked away in a crater.
It was about the same minute I
that the Germans discovered him j
too. The soldier crouched down 1
in his haven while the Boches j
loosed their machine guns and '
began hurling grenades at him. i

His lieutenant, disregarding con- j
