The Tommies now are about within grasp of the German depot. Every hour makes the British vic­ tory more gigantic and astounding in its conception and execution. Not only has the Hindenburg line been smashed, but vital, communicat­ ing lines have been broken. The six railroads entering the city are useless to the enemy. . Enemy Forced Into Open. In many sections the fighting is in the open. The vast and intrlcat« trench defense ot the Hindenburg line and its subsidiary lines has been stormed and the enemy forced into de fense in the open. British tanks had never bpfore beer called upon for such extensive work, but they did in a few hours what the artillery would have required days to accomplish. The Hindenburg line was pierced absolutely on a wide front and to a greater depth than evei before.

The tanks, of course, went through "No Man's Land" under the full ob­ servation of the German artillery, and, while the gunfire was weak, some ffre was directed on the tanks as .they advanced. It was interesting to follow the trail of the tanks and to see where shells had struck all about, apparently with­ out doing any damage. Attacking on a front of 32 miles be­ tween St. Quentin and the Scarpe, the third British army, under Lieut. Gen. Sir Julian Byng, captured the whole German line west of the Canal du Nord to the Bapaume-Cambral road, and are still pressing forward. Pershing Sees Drive. General Pershing, commander of the American forces in France, was pres­ ent at the British headquarters as the guest of Field Marshal Haig to witness the offensive. Unlike most drives, the present at­ tack, which was begun early Tuesday morning, had no artillery preparation. This fact served to surprise the Ger­ mans, whose resiHtance was very fee­ ble, but the substitute for the usual terrific barrage surprised them even more.

Rome, Nov. 28.--Utter failure of vio­ lent enemy attacks in the mountains between the Brenta and Plave rivers was announced on Monday in the offi­ cial statement. At Tasson the Monte Rosa battalion of Italian Alpines annihilated strong $nemy forces massed in attack. "Enemy masses, supported by heavy artillery, again attempted , to' at­ tack our positions between the Bren­ ta and Piave rivers," the statement says.. > "On our left wing the enemy's ef­ forts were directed against the Monte Pertica area. They were crushed; promptly and a deadly and well-exe­ cuted counter-attack on our part was made in answer to every fresh attempt by the enemy. "At Tasson, the Monte Rosa bat­ talion of Alplnl annihilated Its assail­ ants. "At otir center, where the enemy's pressure was strongest, the Fifty-sixth division lived up to its enviable reputa­ tion. "Enemy columns, which with stub­ born fury, attacked from the north­ west and north In the direction of Monte Casonet, Col Del L'Orso, Monte San Larolo and Monte Sptnonta, were mowed down by our fire, repeat­ edly met by furious counter-attacks and definitely repulsed, leaving more than 200 prisoners in our hands. "On our right the enemy attack started from" the eastern slopes of Monte Monfenera. The assaulting waves were first checked by our artil­ lery and afterward counter-attacked several times and repulsed by our gal­ lant Alpini. A few score of prisoners were taken." Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Nov. 28.--Solid ranks of French-Italian infantry,- with artil­ lery and supply trains, were seen by the correspondent within sound of the battle on the Italian northern lines. They - had .been.. . an., an eight-day march. The correspondent was on a tour of the northern fighting front, where the great battle is continuing with unex­ ampled violence. In another zone a sight which stirred the blood was seen when solid ranks of allied re-enforcements crowded the roads. Already they were within sound of the rumble of the guns and the boom from the battle off in the dis­ tance could be heard above the gallop of the cavalry, the tramp of the infan­ try and the clamor of the batteries and supply trains. It was a daric day, with a gray sky, but the whole scene seemed to lighten up as the color of the Italian gray was tinted everywhere with British khaki and French blue. They had been on the march eight days, making more than fifteen miles a day. The re-enforcements were splendid looking young men. Both officers and men were eager t;o hear how the fight was going and were anxious to get for­ ward. HERE'S WASHINGTON STAR. DJUES ~AS SHIP SINKS cdMMANfBkW OF U. S. DESTROYER STICKS TO POST.

Washington, Nov. 28.--Government ownership of railways is not Imminent, though it is being discussed in every conference that has to do with the transportation feature of the war. Government operation of the roads, however, looms as a very live possi­ bility of the near future. The pooling arrangement just agreed to by the railways themselves will be tried first. The committee that Is to operate the pooled Eastern roads ia composed of the vice presidents of the various systems. The railroads are sure the recent resolutions of the railroad war board will answer all purposes, and will actually solve the traffic problems en­ gendered by the war. The operating officers of the Eastern roads met on Monday and created a committee to handle the railway pool. The membership is as follows: Vice President Thompson of the B. & O., chairman fX'\ R. Gray, president of the Western Maryland; A. T. Dice, president of the Philadelphia & Read­ ing; P. E. Crowley, vice president of the New York Central; Elisha Lee, acting vice president of the Pennsyl­ vania lines East; G. L. Peck, vice pres­ ident of the Pennsylvania lines West; A. J. Stone, vice president of the Erie. Lines Submerge Interests in Effort to Co-Ordinate Service for War-- Embargo on .Luxuries Near. Washington, Nov. 27.--Henceforth, for war purposes-, there is just one railroad system east of Chicago ; New York Central, Pennsylvania, B. & O., Erie and the rest of them are merely historical names. These roads will be operated as a single big system by a committee com­ posed of the vl?e presidents of the various lines. The railroads will be administered with the sole purpose of getting freight handled in the most expeditious way. The war board directs , "that all available facilities on all railways east of Chicago be pooled to the ex­ tent necessary to furnish maximym freight movement." It is pooling of governmental trans­ portation agencies as well as the rail­ ways. As part of the program, the na­ tional fuel administration is asked to arrange for supplying the various coal "markets from the nearest cotal mines. There is to be no delay In putting the new system Into effect. The in­ land waterways are to be developed and thus some of the pressure will be taken off the railways. The commit­ tee which will operate eastern rail­ roads as a unit will suggest: 1. A practical embargo on luxuries after the Christmas deliveries. 2. A request to the public to reduce pleasure travel. OFFICER WHIPS 3 TEXANS Major Clinnin of Illinois Wins "Bout" With Cattlemen at Houston Camp. Houston,' Tex., Nov. 23.--There are three sadder and wiser cattlemen in south Texas. Two days ago one of them threatened to tar and feather Maj. John V. Cllnnln of the One Hun­ dred Thirty-first Infantry, and he, with two others, started out to make good the threat. They came with guns strapped on their hips and blood in their eyes. When they,, left the blood was running from their nosea and down their cheeks. About three weeks ago the first cattleman com­ plained to Major Clinnin that soldiers were burning thousands of dollars' worth of his property, near the rifle range, where Major Clinnin Is as­ signed.

Milwaukee, Nov. 27.--That the bomb which killed ten persons, injured two and wrecked the central police station here Saturday night may have been manufactured by experts In Chicago the theory that now holds the atten­ tion of the authorities who have the Investigation In charge. This theory, the plan of offering of substantial rewards by the city and state for the arrest of the criminals responsible for the explosion and the detention of half a dozen Italians were the outstanding developments in a crime that has stirred the community as it has. not |>een aroused in half century. , In addition citizens have already Started pouring in subscriptions for the families of the police officers and the woman who met death when the bomb exploded. The bomb was found in Rev. Gull- liani's church by Miss Maude Richter, church organist. She sent an Italian boy, Tony Massone, with it to the Cen­ tral station and handed it to Station Keeper Deckert. The station keeper carried it Into the squad room, where detectives and police coming on or iust going off duty were assembled. A mo­ ment later there was a flash and a roar. Buildings' rocked for flocks around. The smoke cleared. Where detectives and the station keeper had stood was a mass of w*reckage and fragment? of human bodies. Gov. E. L.
