Dec 1. Field Marshal Haig reported (onight the Germans had attempted a great general often sive in the Cambral district, assailing the new British salient on thd north, east and south sides, simultaneously with large forces. On the north and" east the Germans failed to gain ground.' On the south ihey reached La Vacquerie and Gou vzeaucourt, but in counter attacks the British recovered both villages and also a ridge to the cast of the last named place. The fighting is continuing and an impression is given of a bitter strug ghi Berlin in its supplementary re oort toniirht stated "On the battle- held near Cambrai, the new struggles that developed have so far been sue cessful for us." ; The German launched their , in fantry masses at. 8 q'clock; this mor ing after violent artillery prepara tion. ' """ . "' The first assault was on the south ern lee of the triangle the British drove into the Hindenburg line No vember 20 and 21 in their surprise at tack by massed tanks.' Between Vendhuile and Crevecoeur- Burlescourt the opposing forces were soon at grips, grenades, trench knives and musket butts. A short time later Prince Run ! precht sent his men' forward against the region of . Bourlon wood and Moeuvres, a sector torn and scarred by tremendous struggles following the first British drive. Other parts of the line were also assailed. "Great loss was inflicted by the Brit- i- ish artillery and marine gun fire, ' Haig reports, but the Germans kept uo their efforts for many hours. The British report speaks of "heavy fight ing,' a term which in these days would only be used for a tremendous strug gle. On the northern and eastern parts of the salient, from Masnieres to , Moeuvres, their sacrifices failed to gain the Germans any Important ad vantage. British Drive Germans Out To the south, which has been quiet , recently compared with the Bourlon Fontaine Nolrs Dame region, the foe had more success. From near Bonavis to Villers-Guls-lain the Teutons, took British posi , tions, their gains reaching to La - Vacquerie and Gouzeaucourt villages taken in the first day of the British offensive. , , The British retained their morale and reformed immediately for at tempts to throw the enemy back be fore he could have time to reorganize the captured territory. These assaults ' resulted in the retaking of the, two villages and the .commanding ridge near Gouzeaucourt s Haig concludes with the statement that "at other points the enemy's ad . vance has been checked." No further details are given, so that the exact ex tent of the German gains cannot be estimated., It is quite certain, how ever, they were commensurate with the heavy loss of life under the fire 6f the British. . , Chiropractic Health Talks , The sick are not greatly Inter ested in theories, but in anything that will make them well.

' London, Dec. L An authorized report concerning the unionist meet ing of today says it was attended by 1,500 representatives of unionist bodies throughout the country and that resolutions were carried, deplor ing the publication of the letter of the marquis of Lansdowne, and de claring firm adherence to the war aims of the allies, as defined by Pre mier Lloyd George, Bonar Law and Mr. Asquith.. A scene of great enthusiasm en sued, the delegates rising and singing the national anthem. Bonar Law then delivered a speech, in which he ad mitted he neer had met any one more patriotic or disinterested than the marquis of Lansdowne. Nevertheless, Bonar Law said: "I disagree absolutely, not only with the arguments, but with the whole tone of the letter. I think it is nothing less than a national mis fortune that it should have been done now, of all times. It is not that we do not desire peace. , Cannot Trust Germany. "It is horrible to look forward to a continuance of the war, but it is a strange assumption that because the Germans declare their readiness for a pact of nations and talk of disarma ment that peace therefore is possi ble. "Before the war our government did not dare suggest disarmament to Ger many. They often went near it, but the Germans regarded it almost as a causus belli. And before the war, books recommending disarmament were prohibited in- Germany,,, and I believe they are prohibited to this day.

Only Defeat Can End It "How can they be bound by a pact of nations? Nobody will pretend thai they will be bound because they signed a treaty, and what force is to bind them? The whole .world is against them today, armed and' or ganized in a way that it is not likely they will again be. And if we can not insist on our rights now, how will we fight against them in new conditions hereafter? "No gentlemen, it is horrible to thing of, but it is true. In my judg ment we have got to show the Ger man nation in the only way they cah be made to realize that war does not pay; that their military machine can not pet the desired results. "It is-only by military results that the war can be ended. Let the Ger mans realize that we can go on longer than they, and the change of feeling in Germany, of which we hear so much, will grow daily and will itself perhaps bring the results we all long to see. .
