BELGIANS REPULSE
VIOLENT ATTACKS
Sharp Fighting Develops .on
Flanders Line Following
' Bombardment
LULL IN CAMBRAI FIGHT
LONDON, Nov. 29.
Sharp fi(htin(; resulted from a Ger
man attack in the neighborhood of
Asclioop aKuinst that part of the
Flanders line held by Belgians, Field
Marshal Haig reported today. The Bel
gians beat back their foes after violent
infantrying. The only mention of the
British field marshal of the Cambrai
battle front was that a few prisoners
were taken by British night patrol
parties.
BEKLIN, Nov. 29.
Shelling of Cambrai by English guns
was announced in today's oftlcial state
ment.' Elsewhere on the Cambrai front
the War Office reported a lull. East
of Merokhcm (Flanders) Bavarian
storming troops captured forty-seven
Belgians and two machine guns, the
statement said.
LONDON. Nov. 29.
Tho Hermans continue to rush fresh
troops fur tho defense of Cambrai. DIs
natchea from tho front today told of the
concentration of btrong German forces in
the vicinity of Hourlon and Fontaine Notre
Panto under the protection of a terrlflc
bombardment, which tho Herman artillery
kept up against tho British positions.
During tho lull In tho Infantry fighting
tho Hrltlsh defenses wero strengthened In
tho expectation of a renewal of German
L'ounter-attacks.
North of tho Bapaume-Cambral road,
whero tho British lines approach closest to
Cambrai, tho Germans attempted to dls
lodgo tho British from high ground, but
wero driven off with severe losses.
A dispatch from Amsterdam told of tho
violent cannonades on tho West Flanders
front Tho sound of the firing can ba heard
all tho way across Belgium.
Field Marshal Ludcndorff, chief of staff
to Von Hlndenburg, and known as "tho
brains of tho German army,'" Is reported
from Amsterdam to bo, on the West
Flanders front preparing for a, German
counter-blow.
Major General F. B. Maurice, chief di
rector of military operations, discussing to
day the situation on the western front,
said:
'The battlo of Cambrai is still In tho
melting pot. Tho attack was a great suc
cess. Tho British in this case had no
dellnlto objectives. We Intended to get aa
fur as we could, und I can tell you we estab

ALLIES OPEN WAR
COUNCIL SESSIONS
Russian Situation the Most
Pressing Problem as
Meetings Begin
100 STATESMEN PRESENT
TAIUS, Nov, 29.
The first formal session of the Interal
lied Conference opened promptly at 10
o'clock this morning.
The gathering for tho Initial session was
a brilliant one. Black business suits worn
by tho American delegation contrasted
strangely with tho gold-bedecked uniforms
of tho foreign representatives.
Colonel House's entry was seemingly the
signal for a detaching of the various more
or less stiff groups of statesmen and a gen
eral converging on the American envoy.
They pressed nbout him, sh-'iMng hands and
greeting him. Tho groups were so absorbed
that they failed to note the entry of
Premier Lloyd Geon?e, of Kngland, nnd
Lord Heading, Lord Chief Justice of Kng
land. Today's session wua a brief one, tho con
ference dividing Into specialized commit
tees. Nearly a hundred statesmen were
present.
Foremost In tho problems which the meet
ing will be called upon to consider Is tho
Russian situation. Calculation must be
made for the release of a considerable
number of German and Austrian troops now
on tho Ilusslan fronts, now that It appears
the Bolshevikl and the Germans win cer
tainly sign an armistice next Sunday.
Among the suggestions that have been
mado are that the direction of the nrmles
bo given Into tho hands of the French, the
conduct of the naval operations be turned
over to tho British and the control of
economic questions, such as resources and
finances, he left to the United States.
The original plan, It is understood, was
to have the war council deal only with tho
western front, but It Is believed now that
every theatre of operations will be In
cluded in the scope of the council's! delibera
tions. The delegates are hero for business and
there will be no time wasted In oratory.
Careful plans will be made to eliminate In
tho future tuuh mistakes as led to the
mlltary disasters at the Dardanelles, In the
Balkans and In Russia and tho near-disaster
in Italy.
Tho efficiency given to the armies of the
Central Powers by tho concentration of
control In Berlin will be offset In the future
by tlio super-concentration of tho Allies.

Head of City Bureau Succumbs

Frank J. Cummlskey, chief of the Bureau
of City Property, died early this afternoon
at St. Mary's Hospital, where he was taken

Mr. Cummlskey was one of tho most pop

of Mr. Cummlskey to carry his own division

Resistance Remains Firm as
Forces From Riga
Front Attack
LULL ON LOWER PIAVE
ROME, Nov. 29.
A mutually harassing artillery fire on
the whole front and success of Italian
batteries in repelling enemy attempts
to cross the river in boats was reported
in today's official statement.
BERLIN, Nov. 29.
"Italian attacks on the western bank
of the Brenta and also around Monto
Tomba failed," the War Office asserted.
PARIS, Nov. 29.
"The Italian Government will not
hesitate energetically and fully to in
vestigate the Italian disaster and fix
responsibility therefor," declared Min
ister of the Treasury Nitti today, on
his arrival for the Inter-Allied Con
ference. WITH THK ITALIAN ATtMlKS, Nov. 29.
Fresh Austrian re-enforcements, hurried
from the Itlga front, wero vainly thrown
Into tho battle today In an effort to break
tho Italian stone-wall defense.
The enemy has failed to gain a single
yard during tho last sixty hours. Repeated
attacks have been thrown back with heavy
losses. Fighting on tho lower Piave Iia
slowed up, tho enemy apparently realizing
his utter Inability to effect a crossing
there.
On the river Itself there has been com
paratively little lighting the last week. The
operations In the north, especially the drive
against tho line from Monto Pcrtlca to tho
Plave. seemed to promise more than a
straight push across tho river, so the enemy
attempted a repetition of tho maneuvers
which succeeded both at Caporetto and Pln
xano, on the Tagllamento.
Ono corps which arrived at the new
positions on November 8 came under enomy
fire the following day. On November 10
It had to repel tho tlrst Infantry n'tacks. It
sat down to hold Its right on the Plave,
but Us left turning back at right angles
Into tho rugged mountains on tho west.
The enemy camo on In desperate haste
and won Initial successes. In tho first week's
fighting, as tho enemy's strength Increased,
tho Italian lino was forced back In series
of skirmishes unUI it lay along the last
ridge of the mountain mass. There It stuck
for ten desperate days. There was no shel
ter, but hastily built trenches, prepared as
rear-guard actions were fought northward.
Tho enemy bombardment ls Intermittent
but at times It has reached great Inten
sity. His Infantry attacks are very de
termined. Losses have beer very heavy.
Two regiments nave neicri wii r -lsurpuss-able
stanchness. They have f .sted wave

CONFERENCE ON SUNDAY
Lcnine Threatens Repudiation
of All Debts to Allied
Nations
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.
Reports that a new revolution had
broken out in Pctrograd and that street
fighting had resulted reached here to
day. There was no official confirmation
cither at the Russian Embassy or at
the State Department. At both places,
however, it wns stated that the report
probably was true, as all information
from Petrograd indicates that Bolshe
vik! control has resulted in unrest. It
iu not believed possible, however, that
any real revolution can start in the
Russian capital. The radicals are too
strong there at present. .It is possible,
however, that hungry soldiers are get
ting out of hand and that looting is in
progress.
PETROGRAD, Nov. 2D.
The Bolshevik Government today re
ceived formal notification from Ensign
Krylenko, its commander-in-chief, thaf
n complete cessation of hostilities on
all fronts was in sight through ac
quiescence of nil Gorman front com
manders to negotiation of an armistice.
Preliminary unofficial reports had in
dicated that an agreement for a meet
ing to discuss an armistice had been ob
tained on the Fifth Army front. To
day's official .eport from Krylenko,
however, covers all fronts. '
Krylenko announced that his envoys
"had returned -from the, .German lines
benring the German commander's offi
cial consent to negotiate an armistice
over ail tho Russian front."
At a meeting Sunday plenipotenti
aries from both side will confer. Tha
Germans, it was stated, will be repre
sented by the North Army commander.
Krylenko's envoys, he said, entered
the German lines on the front of tho
Russian Fifth Army.
Immediately upon the start of tho
negotiations Krylenko ordered an im
mediate cessation of all fighting on tha
whole front and proclaimed General
Dukhonin "an enemy to the people." "
Dukhonin and all his supporters wcro
ordered arrested. '
Nlcholal Lenlne, iwrtner with Leon Trot
shy In leadership of tho polshevlk Govern
ment, has openly threatened to declare Itus- ,

of all belligerents.
