caught many of them in their dug
outs. The secrecy with which the
British made their preparations was
one of the most striking features of
the offensive. Guns; tanks and troops
were moved into the Cambrai sector
at night and carefully hidden during
the day.

Rome, Nov. 21. The infantry ac

Terrific British Drive.
The British drive covers a part of
the field of last year's offensive on the
oorume and the section of the Arras
battle front sbuth of Arras. The Brit
ish center in this thrust is nearly op
posite Cambrai, the important Ger
man base; and railway center, from
which the British line on the Baps-ume-Cambrai
road was about nine
mile! distant as it had stood ' for
several months past. The main force
of the push just launched is apparent
ly aimed at Cambrai, along this road,
What is known as the Hindebure
line was established by the German
command last spring when the fa-
iuuus strategic reireai on me
Somme front was carried out. It
was a Supposedly impregnable bar
rier, r
The British and French, however,
showed in the Arras battle last
spring and in the French drive on
the Aisna front that the line was by
no means a bar to their progress and
serious inroads were made upon it
in various attacks on both these
fronts. No definite break, however,
sufficient to permit the penetration
of a large force which could debouch
ror large field operations had ever
: ten effected.
The British movement in its early
phases gives the appearance of be
ing the most ambitious that has
'jeen undertaken by them on the
western front since the creation of
their new armies gave them the
power to strike effective blows. The
attack came almost without warn
nt;, the only premonitory symptoms
being' a series of somewhat elaborate
trench raids.
Even the rather extensive opera
tions in this sector reported last
nigni oy me critisn war omcc, wmcn
the German staff announced it had
:aken measures to meet, gave hardly
i hint thata push in any such force
r over such a wide extent of front
- .vas in prospect..
: Was Not Forecasted.
There has been little speculation
aver Ihe possibility of a British at
tack in force on the western front
this fall in any area other than that
of Flanders, where the main British
effort for several months past has
been r expended Even here , the
lateness of the season and the diffi
cult nature of the ground at this
time of year, particularly, seemed to
RUSH KELLY CASE
SOON TO THE JURY
Arguments Probably Will Start
Today, and Windup Likely to
Come Before the Week
End ; Sutton on Stand.
Red Oak, la., Nov. 21. (Special
Telegram.) The defense rested its
case at 5 o'clock this afternoon in the
Kelly trial and the state at once in
troduced its first witness in rebuttal.
Attorneys in the case state that the
arguments probably will siart tomor
row morning and the case go to the
jury tomorrow evening.
Juf'ge Wheeler this morning ruled
out the testimony of R. J. Harding of
Macedonia, who testified yesterday
afternoon that he heard Kelly read
a letter in the post office at Macedonia
on the morning of the murder, in
which the minister was informed of
the murder and appeared to have
heard it then for the first time.
W. C. Ratcliff, county attorney of
this county at the time of the mur
der, testified concerning his visit with
Kelly in the jail at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
shortly after the mvrder, and stated
that he believed the minister was of
unsound mind at that time. Kelly
was held at that time for sending ob
scene letters through the mails.
Rev. and Mrs. W. J. Ewing of Deep
River told of Kelly s visit at their
home in Villisca where he stayed on
the night of the murder and John
Montgomery, father of the murdered
Mrs. Joe Moore, told of the location
of the stairway in the Moore home
and stated that his daughter was in
the habit of keeping bacon in the
house. A piece of bacon was found
near the bed of the Stillinger girls on
the morning after the murder.

I wis.- ncuj, wins vi uic niiuacu
minister, was on the stand this aft
ernoon and told that her husband
took no change of clothing with him
when he left Macedonia en Jane

following day, and that there were no
blood stains on his clothing when he
returned home on the mornine of
June 10.
Judge A. L button, attorney for
the defense, was one of the witnesses
of the afternoon, testifying relative
to Kelly's voluntary surrender'at the
time of his indictment by the Mont
gomery county grand jury.

The element of surprise, the re

Belligerent Pro-Gerrnan Sym
pathizers Soon Will Be Taken
to Utah; Two More Now
Incarcerated.
"The kaiser," who is now in jail
at Grand Island, was ordered in
terned for the duration of the war by
the attorney general and United
States Marshal Flynn will carry out
the order. He will bring "the kaiser"
to Omaha and turn him over to the
military authorities at Fort Crook,
who will take him to fort Douglas,
Utah, the internment camp.
The real name of "the kaiser" is
Martin Schosche., He earned the
nickname because of the "frightful
ness" which he exhibited around
Kearney where he was arrested a few
weeks ago. He was a farm hand near
there, lit showed the same devotion
to militarism as William Hohenzol
lern of Berlin.
Was Well Armed.
His arsenal consisted of a rifle, a
shotgun and a revolver of large
caliber. He slept with the latter
strapped to the bed post. He was not
what one would call "strong' for the
United States. Quite the opposite.
Orders were received here Wednes
day also for the internment of Walter
Kronert and Edward Martin, who
have been in the county jail for sev
eral weeks.
Kronert, when lie was picked up
in Omaha, said he was enroute from
San Francisco to New York. In his
possession was a letter from a friend
in San Francisco, telling him that he
had been drawn in the first draft and
advising him not to try to avoid mili
tary service. He declined to return
to San Francisco and join the se
lected army. . .
Martin, a man about 35 years old,
lived for 21 years near Blair, Neb. He
is alleged to have stated freely that
he would fight for the kaiser if he
could, and that he would be glad to
take up arms against the United
States. He even told Marshal Flynn
that his sympathies were all with Ger
many. As soon as "the kaiser" is brought

ZONES; LOSE JOBS
Washington, Nov. 21. Thousands
of unnaturalized Germans were forced
to move today from their homes near
docks, piers, warehouses, railway
terminals and other establishments de
clared barred zones by President
Wilson's alien enemy proclamation.
For many the new regulations
meant not only the actual moving of
the place of residence, but the loss
of jobs in the forbidden areas.
To those without work, including
many with dependents, the federal em
ployment agencies were open and, the
officials were emphatic in explanation
that the help of these agencies in find
inp new employment for the alien en
emies would not b withhld. This was
only one evdence of the government's
anxiety to treat law-abiding Germans
with courtesy and consideration while
applying the draic rules to detect
tht few with harmful intent.
Along the Atlantic coast where
danger from alien plotters is con
sidered greatest, the registration of
enemy aliens will be undertaken first
and will be followed later by registra
tions in the interior.
