INFANTRY DEFIES
BLAZE OF ENEMY
MACHINE GUNS
Charges Fiercely Through
Storm of Bullets and
Takes Villages in
Bourlon Wood.
(fly Associated Frets.)
British Headquarters in France,
Tuesday, Nov. 28. Desperate and
sanguinary fighting has been raging
in and about Fontaine Notre Dame
since dawn today, when the British
agaiu attacked the strongly held vil-
' lage. Shortly after 9 o'clock it ap
peared that the assaulting infantry
had stormed its way through the vil
lage in the face of tremendous ma
chine gun fire, both from the houses
of the hamlet and from LaFolie
wood, to the southeast. Five hun
dred German prisoners were taken in
the early hours of the fighting.
! Late this afternoon' the Germans
hurried- tip two- new division and
threw them in for a counter attack
along the Fontaine-Bourlon wood
line. The fighting which followed in
Fontaine was even more bitter, if
possible, than that which occurred in
the first rush through the ruined ham
let. A latest , reports superior num
bers of enemy infantry had pushed
the British back through the village
again to the western and northwest
ern outskirts, but the battle still con
tinued with unabated fury.
In the meantime the British line
running around Bourlon wood to the
, northwest was sustaining a heavy as
sault. The enemy appeared to be de
termined to regain this important po
sition if it were ' humanly possible.
The whole front from tontaine to
Bourlon village was the scene of
fierce fighting, which at many places
was at close quarters. The British
line about Bourlon wood is still in-
. tacf '
Started by Artillery '
The attack on Fontaine Notre
Dame was begun with the assistance
J a very lavy artillery barrage and
throughout the morning the British
gunners maintained an intense fire
against the German positions there.
The onrushing infantry drove an 'en
tering wedge into the northwestern
Cart of the village in a. short time,
ut they were held up here by a ter
rific rifle and machine gun fire to
which they were subjected from
' every point of vantage. '
, Conditions were favorable to the
Germans, for they were" fighting on
the defensive in well-prepared posi
tions, .which could only be taken by
storm. Every machine gun was
equivalent to several hundred rifles,
v Despite the disadvantages the Brit
'is:h continued the onslaught. It was
a glorious exhibition of bulldog cour
age. (They surged on andin less
thanihree hours had pushed the hard
hitting Germans back to the eastern
side of the village, leaving German
dead strewing the streets.
As the British fought forward and
surrounded the various buildings con
taining enemy machine gunners, many
jermans were compelled to surrender
eastern side of the village was reached
auu captives had been collected and
sent back to swell the great total of
prisoners taken since General Byng
struck ms telling blow last nuesdsy.
The arrival of a large body of Ger
man reinforcements put a - different
complexion on the situation. These
fresh troops immediately counter
attacked and the fighting- the
through the streets of Fontaine took
on renewed vigor.. The weary British
retired somewhat in the face of this
onslaught, seUing each foot of ground
to the enemy at a cruel price; The
western skirts of , the village, were
reached, and here, according to lat
ent reports, the battle continues.
Famous Tunnel Trench. .
Some interesting facts were niaue
known today concerning the famous
tunnel trench, which the British now
hold in its entirety northwest of Bul
lecouft. Tart of this underground for
tification wa captured in the fighting
previous to the lambrai push, but a
large portion was taken last week.
The tunnel, which was built by Rus
sian prisoners, was a most amazing
piece of work.
It was 13 miles, long and 40 feet
deep. Entrances were driven into it
every 35 yards and the Germans
lighted the entire place with elec
tricity.; Th tunnel was mined at in
tervals throughout its length, but the
British quickly discovered the electric
wires leading to the mines, and they
Mere rendered useless. , i

lage of Bdurlon', about one mile north
west of Fontaine. ,Both these vil-
', lages were occupied by the British
last week, only to be lost in the face
of strong German counter attacks.
General Byng's men, however, are
making progress against the strongly
reinforced enemy, from whom more
than 500 prisoners were captured
.Tuesday.
Undismayed,' apparently, by the
losses sustained in their fruitless tf
forts of the past two weeks to break
Lhe Italian line between the Brenta
and the Piave valleys, the Austro
Germans continue to hurl fresh troops
against the defenders of the passes to
'Jie Venetian plains.
, Threat to Seise Denmark. V
Fear of a German threat that it
would seize a base in Denmark,
should .Norway permit the allies to
obtain a base in its territory, is re
ported to be behind the conference of
the three Scandinavian kings in Chris,
iania.
t From Copenhagen two weeks ago
it was reported the rulers of Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, with their pre
miers and foreign ministers, would
meet in the Norwegian capital on No
vember 28. ' It is now disclosed that
hostility to Germany in Norway has
reached such a stage that Germany
believed Norway was about to give aid
to the allies, and to counteract such
a possibility informed Denmark that
if such a step was taken Germany
a-ould occupy Denmark as a counter
measure. This is said to have brought
about the recent conference between
the kings of Sweden and Denmark as
well as the oresent marine-.

COUNTRY'S HORN
OF PLENTY FILLED
TO OVERFLOWING
Farmers of America Respond
to President's Call and Yield
of Field Reaches Won-;
derful Totals.
Washington, Nov. 28.-wThanksgiv-ing
day finds America's horn of
plenty with new high record fullness.
Responding faithfully to President
Wilson's appeal and the needs' of a
war-torn world,, American farmers
produced a gross total of $21,000,000,
000 worth of farm products, equaling
in value the nation's total expendi
ture in one year ot war.
That great total, being the value of
all crops, animals and animal prod
ucts, was $6,500,000,000 greater than
last year s and more than the com
bined value of any two previous years.
There were record crops of. corn,
oats, rye, vJhite and sweet potatoes,
tobacco and beans.
. Figures Are Staggering. '
The principal farm crops will reach
more than $12,000,000,000 in value,
minor , crops $2,500,000,000 and' ani
mals and animal products, including
butter, cheese and eggs, about $6,500.-
000,000. This year's values are based
on preliminary production estimates
and prices paid to producers Novem
ber 1 as reported by the Department
of Agriculture.. An official estimate
of the principal farm crop values will
be made by the bureau of crop esti
mates on December 11.
Corn, the country's greatest crop.
accounts for about one-third of the
increased farm products value of this
year. It is estimated at about $4,659,
000,000, compared with $296,000,000
last year, 1,73,000,000 in and
$1,577,000,000 the average for the five
years 1910-14. In point of quantity
corn this year saw its largest pro
duction, being 66,Q00,O00 bushels more
than the 1912 record crop, 608,000,000
bushels more than last year and 459.-
000,000 bushels more than the" 1910-14
five-year average,' . - v , i
Cotton Ranks High.
Next in point of value comes cot
ton with a-crop -valued at about $1.-
981,000,000,, accounting for more than
uuc-iciiiii ut uic year a iuum vjiiuc in
crease. Production this year is about
600,000 bales larger than.last year and
2,840,000 bales . smaller than the
1910-14 five-year average.
Hay is the next most valuable croo,
with a total of $1,390,000,000, com
pared with $1,162,000,000 last year
and $1,056,000,000 in 1915. ,
vvncai, uic luuriu viop in puuu 01
value, is worth more than $1,000.-
000,000 for the second time in Ameri
can history. Its value is estimated at
$1,320,000,000, compared with $1,025,
765.000 last year, $943,303,000 in 1915
and $629,939,000, the average value of
1910-14 crops. , ,
No other crop has reached the $1,
000,000,000 total, although" oats comes
within $25,000,000 of that figure, be
ing valued at $975,000,000, compared
with $656,000,000 last year and the
.1910-14 average of $442,909,000.
1 Consider the Spud.
Potatoes passed the $500,000,000
mark, with a total of $562,000,000, as
compared with $417,063,000 last year,
$221,992,000 in 1915 and, $213,65 1,000,
the 1910-14 average.
Other important crops show in
creased values. Barley, estimated to
be worth $225,000,000, is more than
double the 1910-14 average value; rye,
with avalue of $95,000,000, is worth
almost four times as much as its
value averaged for the 1910-14 crops,
and both buckwheat, with a value of
$26,000,000, and sweet potatoes, with
a value of $94,000,000, are more than
double the 1910-14 average. Flaxseed
is valued at $29,000,000 and rice at
$33,000,000, both being less than last
year in point of value, because of
smaller' production. Tobacco, a rec
ord crop, is valued at . $249,000,000,
compared with $169,000,000 last year
and $103,061,000, the 1910-14 average.
Striking Increases Shown.
Striking increase in value is shown
by the beans, onions, kaffirs and
broom corn crops, all of which more
than doubled last year's value. Beans
are estimated at $120,000,000, com
pared with $45,000,000 last year and
27,000,000 in 1915; onions at $19,
341,000, compared with $9,882,000 last
year and $7,281,000 in 1915; kaffirs
at $128,000,000. compared with $53,-

were visiting there. Her mother said
she could not do that but offered to
give her son-in-law part of Vina Del
Mar, her estate near Santiago. JJe
SauJIes insisted upon . being given
complete control of the estate and
when this was refused, the young
woman said, he treated her mother
"rudely." .
In reference to an automobile acci
dent in which Mrs. De Saulles claims
she sustained another injury to 'her
head, the witness said, her sister was
confined to her bed for "four or five
ays" following.the occurrence. This
appened during a visit to Chile after
her marriage. ' ' " '
Miss Errazuriz also gave testimony
in support of the defendant's claim
that De Saulles sought to alienate his
son's affection for his mother through
a nurse whom he engaged for the boy.
' With the revolver with which, Mrs.
De Saulles shot hep husband, the-wit-ness
then demonstrated the manner
in which it might be discharged. Al
though equipped with safety device.
Miss Errazuriz said the pressure of
the hand on the grip of the revolver
was sufficient to release this catch,
and that consequently only one move
ment was necessary to fire it.
District Attorney Weeks maintains
that two movements of the hand are
necessary to lischargei the revolver,
and that this would indicate that Mrs.
De Saulles was not mentally irrespon
sible when she fired the five ihots at
her husband. : Miss Errazuriz said re
volvers are commonly carried by wo
men in Chile. '
i Suzanne Monteau, Mrs.1 De Saulles'
maid, who accompanied her on the
automobile trip from her? home to
"TJie Box" just before the tragedy,
testified.
"When Mrs. De Saulles entered the
living room she said she came, to take
Jack," declared the witness. "He
made her. such an awful face," she
continued after a pause.
"He said, 'You can't have him now
or ever.' '
"I was standing right by Mrs. De
Saulles and could see everything," she
went on finaWy. He was facing her.
I saw Mrs. De Saulles get awfully
white." ,
"Then what happened?". isked Jus
tice Manning, when Miss Monteau
hesitated again.
"She shot him," sobbed the wit
ness, apparently overcome by her
recollection of that tragedy.

KINGS CONFER
OVER NORWAY'S
JOINING ALLIES
Much Perturbed Over Growing
Anti-German Sentiment and
Kaiser's Threat to Seize
Denmark.
(By Associated Fma.)
Copenhagen, Nov. 27. Behind the
meeting rjf the Scandinavian, mon
archs and ministers at Christiania
this week lies the fear, unfounded
though it may be, of Norway's entry
into the war and of the German
menace that, in this case, it should
feel called upon to occupy Denmark
as a counter measure.
The Associated Press learns from a
responsible source that the conference
was arranged in view of an intimation
from Germany that the growth of
anti-German sentiment in Norway,
particularly after the sinking of the
convoy in the North Sea by German
cruisers, endangers German interests.
May Grant Allies Naval Base.
Germany also fears that Norway
might be impelled, either by excited
public opinion or pressure from the
allies, to enter the struggle, at least to
the point of granting a naval base to
England and the United states, in
which event . Germany would feel
called upon to seize a corresponding
base m Denmark. ,
Upon the receipt' of this information
at Copenhagen word was husriedly
sent to King Gustave of Sweden, and
Denmarks most prominent citizen,
President Andersen, of the Danish
East Asiatic company, who is high in
the confidence of Berlin as well as
Ldndon, was dispatched to Berlin to
verify the report and if possible to
change the German attitude.
Mr. Anderson conferred with Dr.
von Kuhelemann, secretary for for
eign affairs at Berlin, and he con
firmed the report, adding that In view
of the Italian and Russian develop
ments the military and pan-German
elements were again in the saddle in
Germany and exerting . influence
against which the foreign office, with
its more moderate views, found it dif
ficult to contend. 1
King Gustave at Copenhagen.
N King Gustave came fo Copenhagen
and spent a day in conference with
King Lhr.stian, President Andersen
and the Danish ministers, the subject
matter of the conferences being cov
ered by a display of gala perform
ances, an opera ballet, ceremonial
banquet and the conventional inter
change of speeches.
As a result of the conference a de
cision wi.s reached to make every
possible effort to moderate ihe ex
cited Norwegian sentiment and con
tinue the three Scandinavian king
doms in the path of joint neutrality.
