REVOLT IN CHINA
I GAINING STRENGTH
t -
Premier and Chief of. General
Staff Resign and Gov
; ernment Faces Grave
Complications..
Peking, Nov. 24. The resignation
of Premier Tuan Chi-Jui, offered sev
eral days ago, has been accepted, and
Voreign Minister Wang Tah-Sich
in been appointed acting premier.
Liang Chi-Chiao, minister of finance,
i23 been granted a leave of absence.
The rcb?l4 in the province of Hu
un are advancing north along The
i'angtse Kiang. Some generals who
previously had refused to support the
government now see the danger of
the southern revolt and are request
ing the government to take strong
military , action. The situation is
complicated owing to the resignation
of General Wang Shi-Chen, chief of
the general staff; as there is no re
sponsible head of the war office.
The Chinese legation- here has been
. notified, of the changes in the cabi
net as announced in news dispatches
and has been further informed that
General Wang Shishen, whose resig
nation a chief of the general staff
was accepted, subsequently was given
a temporary appointment as acting
minister of war.
No explanation is given as the
reason for the cabinet changes, but
it is recalled that this body has been
in; office for nearly three years, there
by establishing a record for longevity
in Chinese cabinet history.
British Push on
t Cambrai Despite
Fierce Thrusts
j
(Contlsnsd From Page One.)
had stormed the ground in the vicin
ity of Tadpole Copse, which lies on
an elevation just west ofutoc town,
and forced the German to withdraw
after a sharp engagement. ;
The enemy last .night began the
concentration of troops and artillery
between Cambrai and the Bourlon
wood and gave every indication that
they purposed to battle desperately
for the recovery of their lost terri
tory. '
The Gerjnans in their . counter
IhruSt yestenlt:' at Fontaine Notre
Dame succeeded in pushing the Brit
ish slightly back from this place after
a desperate conflict, but this morning
the British still held their ground be
tween Cantaig and south of Fontaine,
and were near the fringe of the Bour
lon wood.
There was little artillery fighting
this morning in the Bourlon wood
sector, but the Germans on the eleva
tion in the copse were maintaining a
stiff machine gun barrage against the
assaulting troops and fighting at close
quarters was reported to be proceed
ing. The toll of booty already captured
continues to swell, and unofficial esti
mates place the number of guns taken
at several score.
A great many machine guns have
fallen into the hands of the Lritish.
Ulster, troops were engaged desper
ately in the advance of the neighbor
hood of Havrtncourt Tuesday, the
tanks now operating there. The Ul
sterites charged the entanglements
and bombed heir way through them
under concentrated rifle and machine
gun fire. Having driven a wedge in
the entanglements, the Ulsterites
charged the machine gun positions up
the slopes and gained the crest.
Routed with bayonets after fierce
fighting, the Germans abandoned the
machine guns.
Italians in Desperate
Battle to Save Lines
Italian Army-1 Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Nov. 24. The moun
tain battle, which is now nearing its
highest stage, is one of three battles
which are going on simultaneously
with various degrees of intensity.
These are first, the battle of the
Piave river, which is the extreme
right of the Italian line; second, the
battle of the Asiago plateau, which is
the extreme left, and, third, the bat
tle of Grappa mountain, which is
the center.
It is through the center that the
enemy is throwing his full force. The
Piave line has become so solid that
some are led to believe that the en
emy is not pushing things there any
further, possibly planning to bring
up his heavy guns beyond the Tag
liamento to renew his efforts in the
spring. No less an authority than
Napoleon regarded the Piave as good
for only temporary purposes and not
as a line of resistance for permanent
operation. If the same view were
held valid how, both the eastern and
western Italian positions would ulti
mately have to be shifted greatly as
the present operations develop.
The Second Italian army, which
was hurled back in the debacle when
the great offensive began just a
month ago, has begun to redeem it
self. Some of its units have been
brought into the thick of the fighting
at Grappa and have done splendid
service.
Peary Predicts German
Attack on East Coast
New York, Nov. 24. German at
tacks in the near future on American
coast cities were predicted today by
Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary in an
address here before a large gather
ing of newly enfranchised women on
the topic of aerial defense.
"I speak of no secret," he said,
"and I am giving no information that
has not already been known or dis
cussed when I say that a blow will
be struck on some one or more of
our Atlantic coast cities by Germany
within a probably near future, and
when it comes it will come with the
same startling effect as when the U-53
put into Newport out of a blue sky."
Snow, and Rain Probable
Early Part of the Week
Washington, D. G, Nov. 24.
Weather predictions for the week be
ginning Sunday, issued by the weath
er bureau today, are:
Plains states and upper and middle
Mississippi valleys: Local snows
over northern and snow or rains
over southern portions early days of
week, with somewhat higher tempera
tures. Generally fair thereafter, with
nearly normal temperatures.
First Vessel of New
Fleet is Launched
Washington, Nov. 24. With the
sliding of an 8,800-ton steel ship down
the ways of a Pacific coast shipyard
today, the shipping board recorded
the launching of the first of the mer
chant fleet it is building. Other ac
cessions to the fleet will be launched
ir. a steady program from now on, in
cluding three 26,403-ton steel ships
and three 10,500-ton wooden ships
during December. The shipping board
is clearing a right-of-way for its build
ing program by requisitioning! 1,500
railroad cars to move fir ship timbers
from the west to eastern yards, where
the scarcity of that material is holding
back activity on the building of the
wooden craft.
Furious Combats

tack lasted three-quarters of an hour.
The whole field was swept by artil
lery fire and the ground was strewn
with dead. It was amid this welter
of bodies and debris that the Italian
lines were reformed and from it they
moved forward steadily and irresist
ibly until the disputed ground was
retaken, except at one point, where
the struggle still goes on. In; this
last desperate charge the officers and
men were eager to advance, prefer
ring death to being made prisoners.
The enemy losses must be very
heavy, but it is bringing forward a
steady stream of reserves.
The First army also is sustaining
a heavy fight west of the Brenta

river, where the enemy rush has been
repulsed by the splendid- resistance
of thevItalians.
Individual Daring;.
The count of Turin, commander of
the Italian cavalry in the recent re
treat, has given out a written re
view of the deeds performed by his
men. Many instances of individual
daring are recorded. ;
A corporal of the Florence lancers
was ordered to explore a zone near
Cividale. Going forward he saw a
large party of Italians held prisoner
by the - enemy-. He returned and
gathered a force of cavalry, which re-
lealsed the" imprisoned party and
brought them back. In another case
Piedmonteoe cavalry, after being sur
rounded, broke through' the. enemy
lines, but1 the colonel commanding
failed to escape.' He was the only
man left inside the enemy circle and
he "was seen to take his stand against
a . wall,' probably preferring -death to
being made a prisoner.
The fate of the Caserta cavalry,
which dismounted and fought afopf.4
and of their fellow dragoons also is '
recounted, making this recital oneof
the most sjirring chapters of the re
cent operations. '
