By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN,
THE FIELD, Dec. 1.
The Germans were apparently in
' possession of La Vacqucrie this aft
ernoon. The principal struggle reported
as this cable is sent was between
Marcoing and Vcndhuilc.
The British seemingly are now
fighting from behind Marcoing
Copse, but all enemy attempts to
retake Marcoing itself have failed.
Americans Give Lives
to Stem German Tide
AMERICAN engineers have
- again been engaged in the
mighty battle still raging on the
Cambrai front. That some losses
have been suffered by these vol
unteer fighters from the United
States' ranks is udmitted in dis
patches from the front, but o
casualty lists nre yet available.
Fully 800,000 men, British and
Germans, are battling desperately
over, the blood-soaked ground.
Continuing their savnge attacks,
the Germuns have won the village
of Vacquerie, but at fearful cost.
The British, however, have re
pulsed nil enemy attacks to pain
possession of Marcoing.

ASKS for declaration of war against Austria-Hungary.
Pledges nation to continue light, until victory U achieved.
Declares any peace America makes must deliver not only Belgium
nnd northern franco front Prussian conquest, but also "the peoples
of Austria-Hungarv, the Balkans and Turkey, "inn the impudent mid
alien dominion of the Prussian militnry and commercial autocracy.
Insists that the "menace of combined intrigue .-n.l tmvo which
wo now sec so clearlv as the German power" nuit lie era-shed.
Assures tho world that "when the German ample have .-pokes-men
whose .word we can believe and when tho-.;- spokesmen aie

the nations as to what shall henceforth be the bases of law and of
covenant for the life of tho world, we shall bo willing and glad to
pay the full price for peace, and pay it ungrudgingly."
Promises "no wrong against the German empire, no interference
with her internal affairs. We shall deem cither the one or the other

At Verdun, French soldiers coined the
Immortal phrase "lis no passer on tie
pas" "They shall not pass." They
backed the slogan with heroic deeds. The
Crown I'rlnceadld not pass..
At Monte Grappa, Italy's soldiers took

Italy's record of heroism.
The enemy is beaten at'Moite Granna.
He may attack today after today's lull.
But the temporary suspension of his

he may seek to strike, he will find every
