must have been the German psychology.
No tnore utterly demoralized human
being in the world were seen than these
same sleekly confident Bosches as they
crawled from their dugouts, sleep bare
ly out of their eyes, at the sound of
crunching, lumbering juggernauts above
them to find British soldiers swarm
ing everywhere. They raised their arms
in shrilling cries of "kanieradl kamer
adt ' and fled hither and thither, dazed
and terror-stricken. Guns that never
fired a shot in lis battle were seized
by the Tommies or else crused into the
yielding earth by the steely weight of
the tanks.
Cement emplacements, steel bound
roofs of dugouts crunched in, burying
Germans like ants in hills trodden un
der foot.
Tanks Led The Way.
All of the stereotyped rules of pre
paration fbr war and of the actual bat
tle strategy itself were thrown aside in
the British coup.
Sometime onday night a large num
ber of British tanks took teir berth be
ind the lines. The Germans didn't hear
them; it was too dark for them to be
seen.
In the early morning Tuesday these
monsters crawled lortn in the hazy light
between darkness and daylight. A
smoke barrage concealed their camouf
laged sides. The Germans didn't know
they were in action until they rumbled
and wheezed over their heads.
The Hindenburg line the impreg
nable, the never-yielding, the last word
in defenses was taken, therefore, with
out a single preparatory gunshot.
How complete was the surprise for
the Germans was evidenced in the fact
that at one point a German division
was in process of relieving another at
the very moment of the attack.
Last night's report from field Mar
shal Haig specified operations extend
ing in all from the river Scarpe to
St. Quentin, a front of nearly 40 miles.
Today's report, however, does not spe
cify the exact frontage on which the
line was broken, merely announcing it
was "wide." The British may have
started their drive at scores of points
along the various parts of the 40 mile
line and later concentrated at certain
strategic sections. This would seem to
be borne out by the great advances
made directly opposite Cambrai.
The concentration apparently cen
tered there, where the largest gains
were reported.
between four and five miles over a
very wide front.
Thousands of prisoners and a great
number of guns were taken.
Although Haig did not specify exact
ly the location of the great blow which
his forces so successfully struck, the
German official statement of last night
would seem to indicate it had Cambrai,
one of the key cities in the Hindenburg
line or communications, as its mam objective.
If tins is the case, British troops must
now be within sight of this vital cen
ter, since before the drive the old lines
were only eight miles distant from
there.
These was every evidence today that
te enemy was utterly paralyzed by the
tremendous force of the British blow,
no less than its surprise. There has been
no fighting of any magnitude on the
Arras-St. Quentin sector since early in
the summer. .

Berlin, via London, Nov. 21. British

"Between Fontaine-les-Croisilles and
Biencourt, the enemy was unable to ad

war office said.

Drive for Five Miles.
London, Nov. 21. Four or five miles'
penetration of the German lines was at
tained by Field Marshal Haig in his
great drive against Cambrai, he re
ported today.
" Ihe enemy positions were broken
nto to a depth of between four and
five miles over a wide front," he said,
' ' Several thousand prisoners were tak
en and a number of guns."
"The first defensive system of the
Hindenburg line was broken on the
whole front," the British commander-in-chief
reported.
In many circles here today, the vic
tory was hailed as perhaps the most im
portant military stroke achieved by the
allies since the battle of the Marne.
Actual penetration of the Hindenburg
line, which Germany has boasted was
completely impregnable and which her
militarists- have led the people to be
lieve would forever bar the allied pro
gress, may be expected to have a pow
erful effect on German morale in the
field and at home.
Field Marshal Haig has not complete
ly and definitely loeated the driving
tront, but tlie (ierman ofticial report
named it as centering over the Ba-
paume-Cambrai highway.
The Hindenburg line starts at Dro-
court, just northwest of Douai and runs
in a fairly straight line down through
Vitry-en-Artoria, Villiers, Cagnicourt,
to Queant and Pronvillo, thence on to
Boursies, Havrincourt, Gouzeeout, Ep
ehy and St. Quiutin.
"Around Lavacquere the formidable
defenses known as Welsh ridge and
Coutllet wood were captured," the Brit
ish commander-in-chief reported.
"Flesquires was entered and the
grand ravine crossed.
"llavrincourt was captured.
"After the capture of Havrincourt,"
the official statement continued, ' ' rap
id progress was made at all points.
' ' The Masnieres canal was crossed
and Mareoing, Neuf Wood, captured.
"East of the canal Du Nord, the vil
lages of Graincourt and Anneaux were
stormed. West of the canal the whole
line north to the Bapaume to the Cam
brai road was stormed.
"The enemy was completely surpris
ed. Sir Julian iiyng commanded the
British third army.
"Bonaires hamlet and Lateau wood
were captured after stiff fighting.
"East of Epey, between Bullecourt
and Fontaine-les-Croisilles, important
positions were captured. The total num
ber of prisoners and guns and the quan
tity of material has not yet been esti
mated."
"Trench systems north of Havrin
court and north of the west bank of
the Canal Du Nord were captured,"
Haig's report added.
The first, or upper section of the line
that from Droeourt to Queant has
been named the "Wotan line." The
lower section is the Siegfried line. Both
together from the general scheme to the
Hindenburg front. The total length is
about forty miles.
Haig'e Official Be port.
London, Nov. 21 Field Marshal Haig
has broken'te first defenses of the
Hindenburg line.
After smashing the first line of de
fenses the British captured the second,
more than a mile beyond.
Describing this aetion, Haig's report
stated:
"Our infantry and tanks, in accord
ance with program, pressed forward and
eaptured the German second system-,
more than a mile bevond the first."
He reported today that his great blow
aimed suddenly yesterday on the Arras-St.
Quentin line, had gained this
gTeat victory "over the whole front."
