Haig adopted new tactics and by plunging forward at
Jre * terd *y morning with nut any artillery preparation

the surprise, element, the British guns on the West Fiinders
front had l.en thundering at the German lines for three days

The British advance was over a 30-mile front I A1
Several powerful German defensive work* were cap-
t Ur * d by storm, including Harvincourt, Bonaires Wood and
La taue Wood.
Tlie British losses were small compared to that of the

London, Nov. 22.—The British troops are pouring through
the gap smashed in the Hindenburg line and the advance <
tinues, the War Office announces today.
**!Age of Fontaine Notre Dame was captured in
c ition to those announced yesterday, and the British have ap
proached to within a short distance of Cambria. Many ad
ditional prisoners were taken.
The cavalry and infantry are cleaning up the captured
trenches while the tanks lead in a fresh advance.
The German losses in killed wounded and prisoners are es
timated at fifty thousand so far. Whole divisions were shat
tered. The British losses are comparatively very small.
London, Nov. 22.—The heavy British guns are now shell
ing Cambr|a, the key position of the Hindenburg line. Fires
have been started in the city and the defensive works are being
I attered to uieces.
The British tanks played an important part in smashing
the Hindenburg line yesterday. The tanks led. passing over
the German outposts andthrough the barbed wire entangle-
enta, their rapid-fire guns in constant action. Through the
gzpe cot by the tanka the British infantry swept, carrying
everything before it. T
Today’s cables indicate that the British are pressing
♦heir advantage, the tanks still leading. Their heavy guns
r now have Cambrai within range and the fall of this railroad
[ center and valuable » strategic point aeems probable. s
r At Ihe same time, the French are attacking further South ni.
striking as before at Laon. If their movement id also success
ful. there appears nothing for the Germans to do but to fall
back to another line, and this retreat is expected. In fact, it
has been an evident necessity for sometime and the Italian
drive is thought to hav$ been planned in part to prepare the
German public for the Western withdrawal.
