LERMANS FAIL IN NEW ATTACKS
WASTAGE RUINING TEUTONS, BAKER SAYS
3
Four United States soldiers, poss:-
bly practicipg the time-honored
methods of escaping prisoners in the
“event that Huns get them, “dug out”
of the police barracks early Tuesday
'morning--tunneled their way through
‘a thick but very fragile brick wall,
and escaped.
* And poor old Tom Bayne, turnkey,
‘is again the goat.
Tom is out of luck, it appears. Six
days ago R. C. Jester, an auto thief,
escaped by the same method. It did
not appear to have been Tom's fault.
If you can’t frust a brick wall, what
cah you trust? is the way Tom, looks
at it. . :
But Jester escaped and Tom wag
snspended «for five days. Tom gbt
back on the job at midnight between
Monday and Tuesday. It was just
in time for him to be another goat;
for at 3 o'clock it was discovered that
the four soldiers had tunneled
through the brick wall in another
place and made their way out of what
is -ealled the ‘city corridor,” where
the prisoners not held on State
«charges are locked up.
Suspended Again.
_ And now Tom is suspended again,
because of course somebody has to be
punished when things go wrong, and
they can’t find the brick masons who
put sour mortar in that wall some
‘énemtions ago, so the bricks would
“all loosen up like a Marcel wave in
the surf and come apart with a ]'sttle
prodding.
The soldiers are as follows:
Walter Domitrovitch, Battery A,
Fort Oglethorpe, charged with a mo\
tar car theft.
F. B. Fair, Company I, 1224 Infan
try, Camp Wheeler, charged with a
motor car theft; captured at Tem
ple, Ga.
—~. J. H. Corder and Walter Fowler,
Jr., Company G. 118th Infantry, Camp
Sevier; charged with absence without
leave.
Tear Up Steel Bunk.
The four men were locked in one
big cell in the city corridor, guarded
on on: side by steel bars and on the
other (presumably) by the brick wall
at the end of the corridor. About
midnight they tore up a steel bunk
and used portions of it to-loosen and
pry bricks from the wall.
- 'With very little trouble and prac
tically no noise they made an open
ing large enough for a whole Key
stone company to fall through, and
(as the oid-time novelists put it)
breathed once more the air of free
domt. 3
That is to say, they beat it.
And poor old Tom is the goat again.
He is suspended after about three
houars' reinstatement, and will remain
suspended untjl the board meets De
cember 11, when his case will be con
sidered.

. One result of the war is that the children in Europe whose fathers have gone to the front are now compelled, as soon as they
are able to toddle, to do their “‘bit.”” The work, of course, is nearly always pleasant and never arduous and the youngsters quickly
enter into the spirit of it. In the above picture is shown a little shepherd boy. He is a Mentenegrin. He is bringing back some
sheep which wandered away from the flock and would have had no trouble at all but for the small black sheep which Yyou will notice

Democratic Leaders
To Frown on Fusion
v (By Intema&ional News Service.) .
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—Fusion ticKets in
the’ eight Middle Western States where
Senators are to be elected in 1918 will
be frowned on by Democratic leaders
except in States where the question of
the war attitude of candidates is a
sharply defined issue.
This was determined upon at a con
ference here of Democratic national
committeemen and State chairmen from
twelve States of the upper Mississippi
Valley region. The leaders met here to
discuss plans for the forthcoming ,sena
torial elections. -
In Wisconsin, where the antiwar at
titude of Senator LaFollette is certain
to be a factor in the election, the Dem
ocratic leaders felt a 1 rusion campaign
may be necessary. The senatorial sit
uat.on in Wisconsin arising out of the
death of Senator Husting also was dis
cussed. The State party men were
given to understand that a nonpartisan
and prowar campaign aimed -particu
larly at Senator LaFollette or any can
didate he may sponsor is favored at
Washington.

The healthy growth of Atlanta as the city of homes, is due

“You’'ll be glad to hear the good news
lfrom the sea,’”” was the way he made
the announcement.
ATLANTA, GA. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1917
Atlantans Warmly
Praised for Welcome
Given Men at Gordon
The way in which Atlanta has re-‘
ceived and cared for the selectmen of;
the national army has elicited the
highest praise from the Outlook in
its issue of November 28. It says:
‘“When tens of thousands of home
sick boys, torn from their familiar
setting, with eyes eager to serve
their country in spite of heavy
hearts, began to pour into the camp
and overflow into the streets of the
city, every decent Amer{ican citizen
subordinated personal profit to the
instincts of brotherhood and began to
ask, ‘What can We do for these fel
lows?" Atlanta set itself to answer
that ‘question with a combination of
intelligence and_ enthusiasm almost
bevond praise, Under the best lead
ership the city could furnish, Atlanta
mobilized and organized its resources
for the benefit of the soldiers.”
Dr. Joseph Odell is the writer, and
his observations are the result of a
personal visit paid the city several
weeks back. At that timeé he was given
every opportunity for learning just
what work was in progress and what
was contemplated. While here he at
tended a meeting of the weekly round
table of the Atlanta Commission on
Training Camp Activities and thers
heard the men who are working with
the soldiers at Camp Gordon and the
men and women who are working in
their behalf in the city confer as to
what was being done. Of this round
table meeting he writes:
“In many ways it was the most re
markable meeting I ever attended,
marked by a unique spirit of co
operation. Mrs. B. M. Boykin report
ed for the Federated Women’s Clubs
of Atlanta—several in number—
sketching briefly the salient features
of their work. For example, the
women of the city were going out to
Camp .Gordon in the afternoons to
mend the men’s clothing and to teach
them how to do their own sewing;
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution had organized to teach the col
ored women to knit for their own sol
diers; the School of Oratory had or
ganized a glee and madolin ciub; Mrs.
E. 8. Jackson promised a huge Christ
m4s pageant to be given both in the
city and the camp, etc. The transpor
tation committee reported the num
ber of automobiles lent by citizens to
take convalescent sold{ars for a ride
in the afternoons and to carry volun
teer entertainers back and forth to
the camps. The entertainment com
mittee told of s 0 many concerts,
shows, readings, impersonations, etc.,
that I could not tabulate them; a rep
resentative of the local drama league
said that the needs of the camp had
revived his society, and they had a
repertoire of plays which would last
all winter; the seeretary of the He
berw Association in the camp describ
ed how the people of Jewish faith in
Atlanta had Brought about a hundred
Hebrew soldiers in to a dance, where
they met young ladies of their own
race, and how it had been arranged
that Hebrew soldiers should . have
furlough on their sacred davhk and
come into the city to live with Jewish‘
families and celebrate their religlousl
rites. He spoke generously of the
splendid manner in which the Young]
Men's Christian Association placed ail
the facilities of its buildings at his
disposal. At that point the secretary
of the Knights of Columbus sprang to
his feet and added his testimony to
the fine spirit of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, for, pending the
completion of his building, he had the
free use of all or any of the Young
Men's Christian Association buildings
for his Knights of Columbus activities
among the Catholic soldiers.”
After .reviewing the educationa)
work being done, and the singing. and
the plans of the American Liberty
Association, the big auditorium meet
ings which ar eto begin next Sunday,
and all the numerous activities of the
Y.M.C. A.and Y. W. C. A, he brings
his observations to a close with the
following statement:
“The story of Atlanta’s relationship
to the new army, how+#the city is
meeting its obligation, more intent
upon serving than upcn the gains of
commerce, is merely etched. Ido not
know whethepr any community near a
camp or cantonment is doing more or
better work than Atlanta, but what 1
saw made me proud of the men and
women who are exemplifying democ
racy at its best.”

War Secretary Shows Relentless
Pressure Is Wearing Down
the Enemy.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Declar
ing that “the week just closed has
been one very favorable to the Allied
arms,” Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker, in his weekly review on war
conditions, today paid high tribute to
both the British and Italian arms.
Germany, he declares, took the of
fensive in Italy to extricate herself
from the increasingly difficult position
in which the German arms find them
selves on the west front. This has
failed, the Secretary says. Summing
up the result and the outlook, Mr. Ba
ker says:
“It 48 the wastage of the enemy
forces—the slow, yet relentiess sap
ping of the man power by continued
‘and sudden offensive thrusts—which
must eventually result in the soften
ing of his line in the west. This lal
the ultimate objective as the serles of
intensive offensives so auccustully]
pursued by the Allies in the past slx‘
months, and is even more important
than the gain in territory.”
The complete review as made pub
lic by the Secretary is as féllows:
“The week just closed has been one
very favorable to the Allied armies.
“The success of the British offen
sive in the region of Cambrai and
the steady resistance of the Italians
in the face of repeated attacks of the‘
Austro-German forces are two factors
which may be considered as co-rela
tive elements of one and the same
‘movement.
| Reason for Offensive.
“It is évident the enmemy took the
offensive in Italy hoping thereby to
extricate himself from the increasing
ly difficult position in which his forces
found themselves in the west.
“The German higher command was
apparently confident that, in order to
save Italy from invasien, such im-‘
portant contingents of French and
British troops would be detached from !
the western front as to render any
further Allied offensives in this the-;
aetr impossible, |
“Though the French ahd Brmsh:
have both dispatched large contin
:Kems to Italy. this has in no way
hampered the continuance of their of
fensive uperatlo-r\s. ‘
‘ “It is the wastage of the enemy
forces, the slow yet relentless, sapping
‘of his man power by continued and
'sudden offensive thrusts, which must
‘eventually result in the softening of
his line in the west. .
' “This is the ultimate objective of
‘tho geries of intensive offensives so
successfully pursued by the Allies in
the past six months, and is even more
important than the gain of terrain. |
| “The military situation is dominated
’hy the gpectacular success gained by
the British forces in their thrust to
t ward Cambral.
“By adopting new tactical methods,
)by evolving a strategy dayingly con
ceived and brilliantly executed, the
| British forces have been able to record
a greater success, when measured by
}ca-otured terrain, than any hitherto
achieved by either belligerent in the
lsame space of time along the western
front.
Haig's Success.
“While seetningly continuing his
offensive engagements in Flanders by
intensive artillery bombardment in
the sector stiretching from Ypres to
the North Sea, Field Marshal Haig
y was able to mask successfully his
}plaus for an Qf‘lgr.qwe thrust between
the Searpe River and St. Quentin.
l “The- usual preliminary artillery
preparation was dispensed with. The
elements of surprise so essential to
ivirmry placed a large part in the
successes gained.
“The British, by a preponderant
numerical superiority in men and ma
terial, by improvising the skillful
tactical maneuvering of an unusual
'numhf-r of tanks, and by co-ordinat
ing with precision the deployment of
cavalry, made use of these two arms
to bear the brunt of the encounter.

Seasoned Veterans
Reinforce Italians
(B\y International News Service.)
ROME. Nov. 27.-—~Seasoned French
and British veterans, who have faced
German drum fire, poisoned gas and
liquid fire on the wess#rn front, are
now joining the Italians in counter
attacks against the Austro-German
invaders on the Asiago plateau.
Advices from the front today told
of the arrival of “fresh reinforce
ments.” )
The formidable Austro-German at- |
‘tacks hetween the Piave and Brenta
valleys have continued with the Teu.-
tons maneuvering to deliver a crown
ing blow but so far the gallant re
sistance of the Italians has frus
trated all German plans. »
" General Diaz's troops are striking
back all along the line and are deliv
‘ering strokes just as violent as those
of the Austro-Germans. |
There is heavy fighting around
Monte Tomba, which is regarded aa}
a eritical point. The Germans, early
in their drive, made a slight gain, but
#ince then they have been held on the
slopes by the Italians. |
If the Germans and Auutro-flun-]
garians can break through at Monte
‘"Tomba and overrun the plain it yould

Salvationists Plan
| .
For Yuletide Baskets
Hindreds of Christmas baskets will
be distributed among the poor of the
city By the Salvation Army, follow
ing its regular yearly custom. These
baskets are provided out of funds
collectéd on the streets of Atlanta by
the Salvationists, and the campaign
to secure this year’'s amount is now
in progress.
Owing to the fact that the cost of
living is practically double what it
was last year, especially as it af
fects the articles which go to make
up the contents of the baskets, the
task of the local workers has been
rendered much more difficult than in
the past. But Major Crawford, the
commanding officer of this district,
is not at all discouraged.
“The people of Atlanta have never
failed to respond to any appeal which
*e have mad eto them for the henefit
of our work among the poor and af
flicted; and this year, especially, T ang
sure that they will make a hearty
response, knowing our added bur
dens.”

LONDON, Nov. 27.—~Re-forming
their shattered forces, the Germans
renewed their counter attacks in
front of Cambrai last night, but all
were repulsed, the War Office an
nounced today.
British positions at the northeast
corner of Bourlon wood were heavily
assamited, but the attacks were crush
‘ed by the terrific fire of British ar
tillery and machine guns.
Burlon wood, which was the scene
of violent fighting Sunday, lies about
three miles west of Cambrai and
Just north of the ruing of what was
’once the village of Fontaine Norte
’Da.me. It rests on high ground.
'which dominates the German strong
' hold es Cambrai, and so long as they
‘retain it the British can rake Cambrai
‘wlth their fire. ¥
Bourlon wood is the farthest point
that the British lines have been ad
vanced in the encircling movement
against Cambrai, and the Germans
are struggling furiously but fruit
lessly to dislodge them, The wood
Is slightly less than two miles from
the Arras-Cambral road and when
this highway is cut Field Marshal
Haig's forces will have opened the
way for a drive behind the defense
of Queant,
Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the
driving force of the great German ma
chine, has ordered that Cambrai be
keld “to the last man,” according to
statements made by prisoners captur.
ed in the fierce struggle raging around
Bourlon wood.
As the German line in the west
stands today the fall of this strong
hold would be a strategic calamity to
the Germans, and the divisiong bat
tered into wrecks by the British drive
against the Cambrai defenses are be
ing re-formed and sent back into the
fray as fast as the officers can per
form the task.
German artillery, held in reserve at
the base of Lille, has been rushed to
the front and is now posted behind
Cambrai, Queant and Bourbon shell
ing the British lines. That Field Mar
shal Haig has the Germans guessing
is shown by their nervousness.
Dispatches from the front today
said that German batteries all along
the front from Lens to St. Quentin #
keep a steady shower of star shells
lighting up the field from sunset to
dawn, not knowing where the next
thrust will be made.
The Germans apparently. fear the
British tanks more than they do the
infantry, for tank attacks delivered
on the first day of the attack did
more than anything else to smash
the Hindenburg line, and they have
put a~-wholesome fear into the hearts
of the Teutons.
In fromt of Cambrai the British
have continued to launch their chief
pressure northwest of Cambrai, at
tempting to drive between the Ger
lman base and Queant and thus get in
' the rear of the German defenses
along the Drocourt-Queant switch, a
series of positions supporting the
northern end of the Hindenburg line.
The big obective of the British
which lies behind all of the offensive
operations in northern France since
the opening of the attacks in the
spring is to break through to the
French coal fields and industrial dis
trict which lie behind the Hindenburg
line. .
Military experts express the opin
ion that the fighting will eontlnv&f
through the winter in spite of im
