OOCIIES TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Vanks Play a Big Part In the Sensa
tlonal Victory Itallano Bravely Re
Dieting Powerful Attacks of Austro
Germans Enemy Aliens In Amer
lea Under Surveillance.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Lieut. Gen. Sir Julian Byng smashed
a great hole In the Hindenburg line
between St. Quentln and the Scarpo.
General Diaz und his heroic Italians
put a stop for the time being to the
Teuton attacks on most of the Plave
river line. General Allenby and the
British army in Palestine moved
steadily on to the envelopment of Jo
rusalem. Tho French struck the
crown prince's forces n hnrd blow In
the Alsne sector. President Wilson
plnced the severest restrictions on en
emy aliens In the United States.
Altogether It was not a pleasant
week for Kaiser Wllhelm.
General Byng's sensational advance,
which was begun Tuesduy and con
tinned through the week, was hailed
ns the greatest British victory since
the Sommo, Its success wus due large
ly to the element of surprise, for the
British had been delivering their pre1
punitory artillery fire much farther
north and, then suddenly attacked In
the. Cambrai sector, taking the Ger-
mans qulto unawares. General Byng,
who devised the plan and whose army
cnrrled It out, llrst sent out a great
number of tanks, and as these cleared
away the barhed-wiro entanglements
and broko through two of the strong
est lines In the German defense sys
tem In the west, tho Infantry and cav
alry followed wjth a rush that car
ried all before It. The Germans wen:
demoralized, and for many hours of
fered little resistance, surrendering
by tho thousand, ami the British
moved' rapidly forward, taking village
after village, and quickly consolidat
ing tho enemy positions, which had not
been badly demolished by shell lire.
Almost to Cambrai.
On Wednesdny the resistance of the
enemy stiffened considerably, but to
no nvnll, for the British pushed on un
til they had put behind them the towns
of Mosnlcrcs, Mnrcolng, Itlbecourt,
Hnvrlncourt, Grnlncourt nnd Fies
nulcrcs. Tho tanks still were leading
the way, and co-operating 'with them
were the mounted forces, which have
liad so lit M opportunity for real ac
tion. By Thursday noon Byng's troops
were but little more than two miles
from Cambrai. and his big guns had
begun to shell Mint most Important
German base ami railway center.
Tho British swiftly built roads and
llcbt rnllways across the captured sec
tion up to fielr new lines and also be
gnn to widen out their salient, which
nt first was dangerously sharp. Crown
Prlnco Itupprecht rushed up masses
nf troops and took up a strong position
In Bourlon wood lust north of tlm
British salient, dominating the Imme
diate region. He also pushed tho ad-
vnnco posts of tho British out of Fon
tnlne Notre Dame, hut they held and
consolidated all the rest of the terri
tory they had gained.
The secrecy which enveloped the
preparations for this great movement
vas astounding and speaks volumes
for the skill of-the British command
ers and the efllclency of tho aviation
corps which prevented the enemy air
scouts from discovering the massing
of troops and tanks. The Cnmbml
sector hud been quiet for n long time.
n"'l be Germans considered that part
or their defease lines Impregnable,
They also thought an attack In force
(Mi such defenses could not be made
successfully without artillery prepa
ration. At tremendous cost they have
learned they were mistaken in both In
stances.
Attack Has Several Objects.
JZ Z f fSiS!
rotnnt 0'f Ulp (Unm "ht !s
Aside from the capture of Cambrai
fnmt, the Im.nidlute object of this
nritisl, offensive probably was to re
ncvo ilw proHsur) 0 the Italians nud
,i.u me victorious xiuru nrmy in tne attack.
to prevent a threatened nttiick by the
Teutonic forces on the Salonlki front.
Very large numbers of German troops
hove been taken from the Russian
front, and while many of them were
sent to replnce the worn-out divisions
In Flanders, others probably were
tinned toward the Greek frontier.
Not many could be used In Itnly owing
to the narrowness of the fighting front
there.
It does not seem reasonable to as
sume, from the success of Byng's at
tack, that the allies hnve any Iden of
nnondonlng high explosive artillery
preparation for such movements In the
future and depending on the use of
great masses of Infantry, regardless
oi tne consequent henvy casualties,
Either great droves of tanks such ns
Byng used, or henvy shelling, Is nee
essary to open the way for infantry
and It Is likely the tnnks nlone could
not have done it If the Germans hnd
not been taken so completely by sur
prise,
The movements of the French Inst
week were not so sensational ns those
of the British, but they were of great
importance. A strong salient of the
German line to the south of Juvln
court wns attacked and partly straight
enod out, nnd nil the positions recent
ly won north of the Chemln des Dnmos
were maintained. It is not unlikely
tluit tho Germnns will he forced to n
lino north of Laon. losing that very
important city.
Allenby Surrounding Jerusalem
Jerusalem seems the certain prize of
uenerai Allenby's expeditionary forces
In Pnlcstlnc, for nfter taking Jnffa he
moved on to the east and northeast un
til he had the city almost surrounded
If the Turks attempt seriously to de
fend it, It mny bo Allenby will draw
a cordon about It and starve them into
surrender, rather Minn shock the
Christian world by bombarding its
Jioiicst shrines
The remnrknble tenacity with which
the Italians held on to their Pinve
river line nnd its continuation In the
mountains between the Plave and the
Brenta-so checked the Austro-Germnn
advance that attacks virtually ceased
during the first hnlf of the week. On
Jhursdny, however, the enemy begun
u' great mass attack on the upper Pl
ave where It bends to the northeast
into .the Belluno Alps. The German
commander brought Into action picked
troops of the Prussian gunrds, some
or the best units from the west and
Russian fronts and a lnrge body of the
notoriously brutal mountaineers from
lower Hungary.
American Troops Going Over Fast.
It Is no breach of confidential Infor
mation to state now Mint the transpor
tation of American troops to Europe
Is going forwnrd with Increasing rapid
ity, and Mint General Pershing prob
ably will have a million men in his
cnmmnnd by next summer. The train
ing of a grent part of the National
army will be curtailed in America and
completed quickly on French soli.
The British government has now come
over to the view of tho French war
commission Mint visited us, nnd Is
urging that our troops get Into action
In ns large numbers nnd ns swlftlv as
Js possible. This has been the pro
gram of the administration for some
time, nnd the shlp-hulldlng program
bus been speeded up accordingly. In
fact. President Wilson Is Insisting on
swiftness In all departments, and on
Mondny ho mndo his requirements In
this line clenr to various cabinet offi
cers and other ofllclals. At the sumo
time ho appointed Daniel Wlllard
cliiilrmun of the war Industries board
to succeed Frank A. Scott, who re
signed on nccount of 111 health.
Rear Admiral Capps resigned ns gen
eral mnnnger of the emergency fleet
corporation on Thursdny because he
does not believe the policy of con
structing wooden ships will result sat-
sfuctorlly, and thinks the shlnntm?
board 'should have extended existing
plants to their capacity Instead of at-
emptlng to build new yards, Chair
man Hurley, however, Is eradicating
many of tho causes of complaint nnd
his program promises to be successful
If he can get enough labor.
Mr. Wilson Is earnestly even In
sistentlyIn favor of the creation of
a supreme war council of the allies,
and has Instructed Colonel Hcnise to
do till ho can to bring It abouVnt the
Hirls conference.
Triumph for Lloyd-George.
When Premier Lloyd-Georgo came
to reply to his critics In parliament
concerning his advocacy of the Inter
allied war council, he gnlned n great
personal triumph and quite routed As-
qultli and Ills followers. In the course
of his speech ho said the government
censed to fear the submarine mennce,
nnd Mint the only other thing that
could shatter the allies' hope of vic
tory was lack of unity. That, he as
serted, wns now to be remedied.
isext day, in the Anglo-American
wnr council, the premier made his call
for as many American troops as pos
slblo, and said the easing of the posi
tion of the allies depends entirely on
ine mites on which the American nro
grnm of launching six millions of ship
ping in mis comes Into practical ef
fect. He asserted that tho must iirnn
tic food restrictions were about to be
plnced on 'the people of the British
Isles, nnd said he regarded the tight
ening of the blockade as of next Im
portance.
Russia Asks an Armistice.
The Russian government meaning
tho bolshevikl group In control of Pet-
rograd on Wednesday instructed
General Bukhonin, the communder in
chief, to open negotiations for un arm
istice with the commanders of the en
emy armies. Bokhonln refused nnd
wns deposed, being succeeded by En
sign N. Kryienko of the nuvy. The
kaiser Is reported already to have
refused to treat concerning peace
"un any out the legalized suc
cessors to the government of the
czar or the constitutional assembly
wiien it meets, hut the way in which
he hns denuded his eastern line of
troops shows he hns no further fear
ot Hostile action by the Russia ns.
Whether or not he Is Justified In this
nttitudc is uncertain, for there come
rrom Itussia stories of violent protests
against a separate peace by the peo
ple, ouu in some cases by the soldiers.
General Knledlnes, hetmnn of the
Don Cossacks, was reported to be
marching toward Moscow with a large
anny, ana in a very roundabout way
came me story that these troops hnd

suance of a plan to restore the mon

Latest reports of Kerensky were that
he was at Lugu with two nrmy corps
that remained loyal to his faction. The
fallen premier, however, seems to be
quite out of the rec' onlng.

been recalled from tho front.

shipment of supplies to that country.
Restrictions on Enemy Aliens.
President Wilson opened the week
auspiciously by Issuing the long-need
ert order placing ull enemy nllens un
der strict survelllnnce nnd Imposing
drastic restrictions on them. They are
onrred from the District of Columbia
nnd Pannmn, from all shipping cen
ters and all domestic except on
public ferries, nnd mny not travel or
change thel place of nbode or occu
pation without permission. All enemy
aliens nro to be required to register.
Tho proclamation applies only to Ger
man citizens or subjects at nresent.
but congress may be asked to declare
wnr against Austrln-IIungnry, so that
the thousands of Austrian subjects
also may be placed under surveillance.
fcquelehlng the opposition of a few
pacifists, tho American Federation of
Lnbor, In convention ut Buffalo, em
phatically Indorsed the position of
President Gompers, Mint union labor

Ingmnn's part In the prosecution of the
war.
As a result of a long conference
Thursdny nfternoon between President
Wilson nnd the presidents of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees.
the chief executive believed the danger
of a general railway strike was greatly
lessened if not wholly nvejted. Mr.
Wilson intimated Mint he thought the
men should hnve higher wages, and the
brotherhood bends suid Mint, though
they could not promise there would be
no strike, they would "co-operate with
the government to the utmost extent
In arriving nt o just und equitable ns
