The British aré carrying forward successfully their imanceuvre fhich apparently has as its objective the en- circlement and capture of the import- ant railroad junction of Cambral, in northern France. For_three days the forces of Gen- eral Byng have beet strictly keeping to their task of smashiig the Germaa positions in this region and now, hav- ing driven the enemiy from afl his forti- fi*d strongholds, are battiing with hfm in the open, with the monstrous tanks and the dsshing cavalry everywhere opening the way for onstaughts by the infantry. Already the British line describes an arc from the west to the southwest of Cambrai, with the lower point rest- ing near Fontaine Notre Dams, two and three quarters miles southwest of the much-sought-for town. Although the stroke of General Byng was de- livered over a front of 32 miles, from the Scarpe river to St. Quentin. it was in the center and in the direction of liant attack Wednesday night but the Germans in a counter-attack Thurs- day regained it. In addition to heavy losses in men killed or wounded, more than 9,000 Germans had been made prisoner up to mid-day Thursday.

The operations of the cavalry are de. scribed as most briliant, the hors men making zallant charges into vil- lages and even against machine gun positions, the entire gun crews of which were shot or sabred. At last reports they were engazed in sur- rounding the Bourlon Wood, directly west of Cambrai, which dominates the sntire remion, inciudine Cambrai it- %elf, and clearing out the enemy from Monte Spinaccia, but according to_the Rome war office, except on the forfner position, where a few advanced Italian lines were reached, the enemy every- where has been repulsed. Along the Piave southward to the Adriatic no important engagements have taken place. CONFESSES PLACING BOMB IN CHICAGO AUDITORIUM Reinhold A. Faust, a Naturalized Ger- man, the Culprit.
