All the guns were captured and their crews were killed. Q A similar incident occurred at Premy Chapelle, northwest of Mar- cding, where three guns were stormed and their ws annihilated. The moufited troops got into Mar. cSing and Masnieres 1ast night, and in the latter town engaged in sanguinary' battle with German Infantry. An enemy battery there was giving trouble and a squad of horsemen charged the position shooting or sabreing the en- tire gun crew. Another battery at Rumilly was taken in similar fashion. raincourt was carried by storm, SIXTH ARTILLERY FIRST SHOT IN WAR Identity of Regiment Which Holds the Honor Is Revealed 'w York, Nov 22.—The identity of the regiment which fired the shot that heralded America’s entrance into the war was revealed in this coun- try for the first time last night by Brig. Eli D. Hoyle, Commander in Chief of the Department of the East, at a dinner of the Fifth Avenue Asso- cition at the Waldorf. The General said he learned the details of the ac- tion from an army officer recently from France. It was Battery C of my old regi- ment, the 6th Field Artillery, the finest drilled outfit in the country at the beginning of the war,” sald Gen- eral Hoyle, “which had the honor of beginning America’s part in the war.” The General had not expected to be asked to speak when he came over from Governors Island to the dinner last night. Nevertheless, when Wil- lard Vi King, the toastmaster, called on him, he said he was glad of the opportunity to say something about the spirit of our army in France. "I'd give ten years of my life,” he said, “to be ordered to France. You can’t imagine if you haven’t seen it the magnificent spirit in which our men are going into this war. I know that some persons have sald that we have been blundering a lot, but if those same persons will tage into con- sideration that last April when the war started we had only about 100,- 000 men in the ranks of the army, counting the non-fighting units, the Hospital and Quartermaster Corps, ;and when they realize that today we have about a million under arms, they will hesitate to cast slurs at the organization and administration of our troops. “Let me tell the story of the regi- ment that fired the first shot in this war—the shot from the shell which was later sent to President Wilson. It has not been known in this country, #nd I myself just learned of it a few days ago When an officer from ance called on me on Governor's Island. This officer, a captain of artillery, started from France on the Antilles, and was one of those saved when she went down. He said he came to see me expressly to tell me the news that the 0old regiment had fired the first shot. You know I was colonel of the Sixth Field Artillery before the war, and this officer was one of the men of cavalry, tanks and infantry working together. British forces at the latest reports have carried their line in this Cambrai road. The Germans ran from Ribecourt with the British close at their heels. town is a mass of ruins, partly account of shell fire and partly frém lack of repairs. The German dugouts w.re left intact. The occupation of Marcoing and Masnieres whs a great stroke for the British, as it gave them much needed crosesings for the Escault river and canal, which formed a natural barrier to the advance from this direction. Cavalry, Infantry and tanks . were oured immediately across theseé pas- ges and proceeded to work north- ward. % Military necessity precluded the mention of cavalry in the first de- spatches regarding the present offen- sive, but it may now be said that the mounted men went into action at 11:30 o'clock yesterday jorning, after the tanks had opened the way through the barbed wire. This wae one of the features of the battle in which Gen. Pershing appeared to take a¥p Interest while he was at the front vesterday. It had been a won- derful two days for the horsemen who had been relegated to rear areas of the western front with a few ex- ceptions, since early in the war. Thousands of them have been operat- Ing over a vast area beyond the Hin- dghburg line. 5 Bells te Peal. London, Nov. 22.—The bells of London will probably peal today for Gen. Byng's victory and if the pro- posal is adopted, it will be the first time since the war began that the bells have rung for any rejoicing. The Fimes says it has questioned the au- )firhies concerning the proposed ging and has found all favorable. The Bishop of London highly ap- roved of the idea. The Lord Mayor « equally enthusiastic.

Not n extra flag was flying and the bells ve not yet aroused the people to a realization of what their armies have fone in France. How far the cavalry has gone is not tnown, but one correspondent at the Jront says that yesterday morning the javalry was still pouring over the urtherest hill a good six miles from he cracked line.

United States Marshal Thomas D. McCarthy yesterday made an inspection of the districts affected, preparatory to is- suing orders to enemy aliens living or doing business near the waterfront to get out. The regulations governing the enforcement of the order are expected tg arrive Within the next few days, and the orders will be is- sued immediately afterward. So far Germans of the prosperous classes who have kept themselves in the background so far as words and overt acts are concerned, have very largely escaped government restric- tions, and most of the weight has fal- ler upon sailors, dock laborers and others of less affluent stations. Of this sort were most of the thirty men arrested vesterday in Hoboken, fol- lowing the big roundups during thp last few days, and a dozen or so taken into custody «by the Secret Service in New York. Nearly all of these men were sent to Ellis Island. ' The long' immunity of more pros- perous Germans seems to ve made it difficult for a good many of them to believe that they could ever be af- fected, and a considerable number called on Marshal McCarthy yester- day, often accompanied by American Jawyers, to find but if there was any way by which they could escape the new regulations. All of them were told bluntly that the Federal authori- ties would play no favorites and that everybody would have to get out. One enemy alien, it was said yes- terday, owns flve saloons In West Street south of Christopher. He will have to turn over his business to an American manager or sell out. ‘Wilhelm Hockstaff, said to be a German army reservist, was turned over to the Federal authorities by the police yesterday morning. He was ar- rested -late Tuesday night by members of the Bomb Squad and in his posses- sion were found several photographic negatives of ports and other places of military importance in and near New York and also a letter which he had written, but had failed to mail to an acquaintance in this city. The letter which was bitterly anti-American, was made public by Assistamt United States District Attorney John C. Knox. It read: Let us hope for the best. Hope s, after all, the only thing we poor Germans still have left. That is some- thing that cannot be withheld from us poor, outlawed people. But for we must hold our tongue. We must bite our teeth together fuil of grim rage until the day comes when we with joyous cry and out of a full throad may sing “Deutchland uber Allies.” Then to witness the helpless Tage of this pack of vagabonds. We will take pleasure and rejoice in it. That, my degr Mr. . is one of the firing line. He told me that the spirit of our soldiers in France was splendid &1l the way through.” Before General Hoyle spoke, Gas- ton Liebert, the French Consul Gen- eral here, made a short address, in which he said that his position in this country had been rendered extremely pleasant by the sincere love for France he found everywhere among all Americans. Following M. Liebert, Dr. T. Iyenaga, from Japan, Director of the East and West News Bureau, spoke of the relations of Japan to the Allles. Dr. Iyenaga declared that Japan had fulfilled the mission en- trusted her by the Allies when she entered the war by keeping peace throughout the Far East and watch- ing over the interests of her allies in that part of the world. The speaker said that insurmountable difficulties had kept Japan from the trenches in Europe so far but that if the need arose she:would be ready to risk all for the common cause. He then mentioned the menace to Japan of a possible combination of Russia and Germany, saving: “Perchance—and vou will note 1 say perchance—Russia might come under the domination of Germany and the combined forces of the two greatest military in Europe cross the Ural. Japan will have to re-enact again the tragic drama of 1904-5 on the fields of Manchuria.” Charles C. Kurzman proposed plan where the quota of persons now working on Red Cross supplies might be augmented by from 75.000 to 100,- 000 people. He proposed that men and women who were working in the daytime should give two hours in the evening to Red Cross work. Em- ployes of different firms could take an evening a week, he sald. Workrooms could be equipbed and men and wom- en of every industry could give of their skill and energy to the Red ! Cross. Mr. Kurzman said he had been in France recently and had seen the need for unimagined quantities of Red Cross supplies. This fact, he de- clared, had prompted him to suggest his plan. a CUT POWN ON COINS, Certain Types of Silver Money to Be Reduced in France.

In his room the police found a picture of “Germania,” under which was the inscription: “The German will never bend. You cannot intimidate him.” Hochstaff gave his occupation as a sailor, but the authorities are doubt- ful as to the accuracy of this state- ment. He is well educated and re- ticent. The roundup of the enemy aliens’‘in Hoboken which began on Monday night when about 200 were taken into custody by regular soldiers on guard duty, is continuing, and about 800 are now under arrest. River street, the waterfront street which parallels the great army piers, which for years has been more like a German than an American street, was deserted last night. The appearance of a German in River street’ results in his instant arrest. One of the Germans arrested in Ho- boken yesterday was Heinrich Hen- niger, a barber who was employed in a River street shop. He was busy with a bearded customer when a Government agent entered the shop. ‘When he finished with his customer Henniger turned to the Secret Service man and said: “You're next.” “No, I guess you are wrong about that. You're next” the agent re- piied as he took Henninger into cus- tody. - DORL IS INTERNED. Friend of Von Bernstorff Now Con- fined in New York. New York, Nov. 22.—Franz Johann Dorl, said to be a personal friend of Count Von Bernstorff, former German ambassador, was interned as an allen enemy today on receipt of instructions from Washington. Dorl was born in Berlin and has lived in this country 15 years. Chemicals which he claimed were to be utilized in a process for hardening concrete, were found in his Broadway office, and four cabi- nets of letters and documents were seized.

LFBOAT SINKINGS | MAKE BIG REBOUND London Advises Caution Aiter; Submarines Do Heavy Damage London, Nov. 22.—Seventeen Brit- ish merchantmen were sunk by mineg or submarines last week, according to the weekly statement issued by the: Admiralty. Of these ten were Ves- | sels of 1,000 tons or over and seven of less than 1,600 tons. Last week's record of British mer- i suink to an increasing extent, for the 1 chantmen sunk greatly exceeds that‘ of the previous week, when only one | vessel of 1,600 tons or over and five craft of less tonnage were sent to | the bottom. In fact, it represents in the aggregate the greatest number of ‘vessels destroyed since the week of | [ Oct. 28, when elghteen were lost. | Since then there has been a gradual falling off in shipping losses until the minimum since Germany’'s intensified submarine campaign began was reached in the week of Nov. 11 with a total of six. So far as the losses of large ves- sele are concerned, however, the pres- ent admiralty report apparently bears out the optimistic statement made ye- cently by Premier Lloyd George that | he had no further fear of submarines, | and of the first lord of the admiraity | that enemy submarines were being | sinkings in the 1,600-and-over cate- gory last week were the Jowest since March, except for the weeks of Sept. 16, Nov. 4, and Nov. 11, when in the two former weeks the total in each instance was eight and in the latter one. Premier Lloyd George in his ad- | dress to the house of commons early in the present week said that five submarines were destroyed last Sat- urday, but he gave no further infor- mation on the subject. Sir Eric Gedes, the new first lord of the ad- miralty, in his maiden speech before parliament, asserted that between 40 and 650 per cent of German subma- rines operating in the North Sea and the Arctic and Atlantic oceans since the beginning of the war had been | sunk. He added that enemy subma- rimes were being sunk to an increas- ing extent, but that the Germans wero building them faster than they prev- icusly had done. Rome, Nov. 22.—Italian marine losses from submarine attacks during the week ended Nov. 18 were one ! large steamer sunk and another , steamer damaged by a torpedo ‘and afterward towed into port, today’s of- ficial announcement says.

Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: The steel industry is making hard- er work than ever of its effort to meet war conditions, with an in- creasing handicap from fuel scarcity and transportation failures, and the limitation of output due to the con- flicting purpgses of those in authority ifrom whom steel makers now take their orders. Bankings of blast fur- naces from coke shortages keep up and at Youngstown steel output at Some plants has been cut nearly 60 per cent. It is two months since price fix~ ing began and the market results are scarcely appreciable apart from somo progress in the pig iron trade, which has shown itself more nn{enuble to control than the finished’ material lines. i Dislocations in rblling mill opera- ! tions are more marked. While these have been commonly laid to irregu- lar gas coal and coke supply, there is' increasing evidence of the shifting of consumption and in some lines its re- have left some mills with occasional gaps which selling forces are trying to fill. A feature of the week has been the wide and prompt acceptance by the | warehoupses of prices which represent | a drop of $10 to $20 per ton in many products and as much as $50 per ton in sheets and $70 in plates. Being on a Pittsburgh basis the new jobbing ! scehdules carry considerable freight additions for a very large part of the tonnage involved. i While a good amount of finished steel for use on government contracts is sold currently, little business is cothing out for rolled material for other purposes. Plate inquiries in- clude one for 20,000 tons of 3-16 in. plates cut dn 30-in. squares for the government. Plate prices quoted by certain mills able to make early ship- ment continued higher than the gov- | ernment basis, but are approaching it, one Central Western mill now quoting 5 cents as against 6 cents recently. ’ On the government’s orders for 1,- 500,000 tons of shell steel néw being allotted, shipments are 'to be com- pleted by June 15. Half the amount will be for 6-in. shells alone. There are yet to come large requisitions for | Creat Britain and France. Labor supply has improved ‘in spots, but the problem will be made more serious by the second draft. It is | plain that dilution of skilled labor | must begin soon, particularly under the urgent c¢all of the government for thousands of mechanics for service in g France. At Pittsburgh as high as $2.85 is offéred for common labor on a 10-hour day. The flow of structural steel orders rclated to the war program is swelling | so fast that a meeting of fabricators ! is to be held in Pittsburgh on Tues- day. A very large part of the 111,- 000 tons of bridge and building work put under contract in October, repre- senting 61.5 per cent of capacity, was cirectly and indirectly for the govern- ment. " A later item is the placing with itor, hecause it has working staff, of 50,000 tons > ship work as part of a total of 45,- 000 tons monthly for ten months to be delivered at Philadelphia. New price fixing includes a 3c. bgsis for lisht rails 25-1b. and heavier. The new basis of 3.50c. for bar iron is a Pittsburgh, Its maintenance alongside 2.90c. for steel iz prob atical. Sheets have sold more freely to the genera] trade than any oiher finished product since official prices came in. The mills are well filled for this year, and some good sales have been made The government is placing orders Wor 20,000 tons. The original embargo order of the War Industries Board, cutting off en- tirely shipments of chrome steel for the manufacturers of pleasure auto- has been modifled pending the report of tho automobile indus- trles committee as to the minimum amount the industry should be al- Jowed. The War Industries Board wants a cut of 20 per cent. of present consumption, but may permit a gradual reduction. Philadelphia has led again in pig iron buying a total of 25,000 tons of basic iron being taken by several The Steel Corpora- tion has bought 8,000 tons of basic iron in that market in the past fort- At Cleveland a 5,000-ton saie is reported and the buver seeks 10,000 tons additional for the second quarter of next year. At Pittsburgh steel companies whose blast furnace output is curtailed by lnok of coko are trylng to buy iron but with little success. i 3 ! Buying of foundry iron is going on in a careful way for the first half of 1918. Sales of the freight of melters who must have them in their mixtures. Deliveries of pig iron ars not up to contract schedule and this causes some buying . by foundries whose contracts are at lower than government prices. There was fear in October that enough Lake Superior ore would not be brought down to carry the industry through to the arrival of new ore in the season of 1918. But the Novem- ber movement has been greater than usual and it is now belleved the sea- son’s total will come close to 62,000,- 000 tons, as against .64,734,000 tons moved by water last vear. Pig tin made a new high record at T7c. this week, due to the limitation of British permits to actual con- sumers and the scramble of the small trade for the little available stock. $40 FOR XMAS FUND. The dance given in Booth's hall last evening by a party of voung women for the benefit of the Camp Devens Christmas fund was a com- plete success.

The Fort Smith and Western railway company appealed from the decision. “Congress did not undertake to in- vestigate the conditions surrounding different roads,” sald the govern- ment’s brief. “It merely faced the fact that the commerce of the couh- try was about to be tied up and en- deevored to adopt a general measure to afford relfef.” TABLEAU REHEARSAD TO START.
