YANKEE GAINS
American Troops on Sedan
Front Advance Against
Enemy Machine Guns
With the American Army on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 7. —The town of
Mouzon is on firo and part of Sedan
is burning, reports from the cen
ter of the American line stated last
night The American army had
forced its way along both sides of
the river until last night It was
within six miles of Sedan. Not
withstanding the fact that the Ger
mans have put in fresh divisions the
American and French troops have
continued their grim advance.
On the west of the river the army
moved to the outskirts of Mouzon.
Further west it fought its way along
a four-mile front to Gogneux woods.
Pourron and Mont Le Brune were
among the villages captured. Rau
court was reached.
The advance on Raucourt and
Chemery was accomplished against
machine gun fire. The Germans had
entrenched themselves in every
available shell hole, supplemented
by trenches, but were driven out
without excessive use of artillery. It
was an infantry engagement, the
Germans giving way before the
steady rushes of the Americans.
The divison fighting in the cen
ter yesterday captured twenty-three
775. Two hundred machine guns,
fifteen trench mortars, two hundred
thousand rounds of ammunition and
much other material.
Yankees In Gallant Feat
The crossing of the River Meuse
and the capture of the town of Dun
by the Americans, when Its full de
tails are known, will rank as one of
the most gallant feats of the entire
operations northwest of Verdun. The
trbops who accomplished it will be
entitled to rank as heroes, for their
work In militarily crossing the stream
was a strategic move of unusual dar
ing.
The crossing involved the forcing
of a way over the 160-foot river, a
half-mile-wide stretch of mud and
a sixty-foot canal in the face of a
frightful enemy fire. It also in
volved swimming by those who knew
how and the pulling of others over
ropes. Grappling irons were used
to scale the sheer walls of the canal,
along which machine gunners bad
been posted, under the tire of scores
of batteries front the hills adjoining.
Troops Did Not Hesitate
The order to cross the canal came
at mid-afternoon Monday. The troops
received their grim instructions un
der a sun which was shining for the
first time in days. The men knew al
most as wfell as their commanders
the difficulty of the task and realized
how well-nigh impossible its ac
complishment would be. Y'et they
did not doubt nor hesitate.
The orders were to send over one
brigade first, and, if it failed, to send
another and others, one after the
other, if it become necessary. It
was with dash that the Americans
tackled the problem. Theoretically,
they bad the choice of crossings any
where for five miles. Actually, they
were limited to one point, where two
thirds of a mile of mud lay between
the river Itself and the canal that
roughly parallels the river.
The Germans were too firmly en
trenched at all other spots. They
had not protected themselves with
trenches here only because they never
dreamed that the Americans ■ would
be so daring as to try to negotiate
the passage. This was a short dis
tance north of Brieulles.
Swimmers In Van
All the swimmers of the first bri
gade were first singled out and put
in the van. It was Intended to at
tack in this way on the theory that
the swimmers were less likely to be
hit by the Germans owing to the
fact that they would be nearly sub
merged. On the other hand, they
could carry with them ropes and
other paraphernalia for assisting non
swimmers across. The building Of
pontoon bridges was put off until at
least some American elements had
crossed the river.
Notwithstanding some losses and
the fact that the swimmers could not
defend themselves, many of them
reached the west bank of the river
with lines which were drawn taut
across the stream. Others floated on
rafts and collapsible canvas boats.
These men had less success than the
swimmers, because they were better
marks for .the enemy's rifles and the
boats could easily be .sunk by bul
lets, even if their occupants were not
hit.
Close to where the swimmers cross
ed the engineers began to throw over
pontoon boats and a tiny footbridge.
The pontoons were destroyed by the
enemy, but the bridge remained in-'
tact and added materially to the con
stantly Increasing numbers of men
arriving on the east bank of the river.
Soon after dark the first brigade was
across the first barrier and more
men were ready to make the Journey.
The. second phase of the perilous
undertaking then began—the cross
ing of the kilometer of mud stretch
ing between the river and the canal,
which, though it was under a tre
mendous enemy fire, was not held by
Infantry. The Americans stumbled
across the mud through the wither
ing fire. Their feet sank Into the
mud and soon the pace of the men
was slowed down to a laborious work.
Nevertheless, they got through, even
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH!
if the t?sk caused sojne depletion in
their numbers.
1 The next phase constituted the
crossing of the narrower but deeper
canal, with Its sheer sides and with
the Germans almost at the very top
of the eastern edge. The swimmers
again got into action and plunged
through, notwithstanding the enemy
fire, and scrambled to the top. Here
the men divided their attention in
driving off the enemy and helping
nonswimir.ers across by the same
method used at the river. Two
bridges finally were laid down by the
engineers, greatly facilitating cross
ing. These two bridges withstood at
tempts of the enemy to destroy them
and contributed largely to the speed
In getting the American troops over.
When the swimmers reached the
edge of the canal they could not
land without the aid of grappling
hooks, which had to be caught onto
the top of the wall edging the canal,
so that the swimmers could pull
themselves up by means of ropes. It
would have been a hard enough task
for men undisturbed by the enemy's
guns, but its accomplishment was
almost Inconceivably diflicult under
the violent enemy fire.
The terms of President Wilson's
note to dealing with the
freedom of the seas and compensa
tion to the Allies, are endorsed by
the press here. It is believed Ger
many knew from the terms of the
Austrian armistice the sort of peace
she had to expect ahd that her mili
tary and political situations give her
no alternative but to bow.
Junker Newspapers Cry For War
News comes from the front that
the hard-pressed German armies
have no fresh divisions to throw into
the battle. They have no great re
serves of ammunition. The German
people are demanding peace at any
price. A few Junker new-spapers
still are crying for war to the last
ditc-h.
There never was such freedom of
speech in Germany as at present.
Diplomats and soldiers each are try
ing to place the blame for their
country's downfall on the other.
Placards appearing in Berlin each
declare the Emperor and the Crown
Prince must go. Correspondents are
permitted to telegraph from Berlin
that the vacillating character of the
Emperor is responsible for most of
the nation's misfortunes.
Discussion here centers about the
peace conference. One of its most
urgent problems will be to arrange
food supplies for starving people
It is assumed that even the people
of the Central Empires will be cared
for. Demobilization of armies and
the repatriation of soldiers, prison
ers and exiles, including 150.000
Belgians in Great Britain, are other
great tasks before the conference.
To Postpone Elections
According to to-night's reports,
the general election in Great Britain
which Andrew Bonar Law, chancel
lor of the exchequer. Is expei cod to
announce to-morrow for Decem
ber 7, will be postponed because-the
government cannot have the election
and the peace conference on its
hands at the same time.
Excited Newspaper Gets
Whole City Excited Over
Foolish Peace Rumor
The Associated Press, with direct
wires to the French headquarters in
war zone, has heard nothing of the
signing of an armistice by the Ger
man agents who are reported to be
approaching the place set by Mar
shal Foch for the conference.
The rumor came to town on all
the press association wires but the'
Associated Press was careful to point
out that it was unofficial and that
Washington put no faith in it. An
excited newspaper bulletin writer
flashed the "news" before the pub
lic aftd the whole town became ex
cited when an extra edition was
Issued. Mayor Kelster was prepar
ing to start a celebration when the
Associated Press discredited the
story. The telephones in the Tele
graph news rooms were busy all af
ternoon denying the report. The
Associated Press will have the real
news when it comes. The Telegraph
is the only eveniYig Associated Press
newspaper in Central Pennsylvania.
Lansing Protests Hun
Destruction of Mines
By Associated Press
Washington, Nov. 7. Secretary
Lansing made public to-day a mes
sage to the German government
through the Swiss minister, protest
ing against the reported intention of
German authorities in Belgium to
destroy coal mines on evacuation.
If the acta contemplated are cur
ried out, the message says, it will
confirm "the belief that the solemn
assuran'ces of the German govern
ment are not given in good faith."

A GREAT CROWD
Patriotic Rally Expected to
Fill Auditorium to Over
flowing
Turkey, unable any longer to
sustain lier armies in the field,
surrendered to the AJlies.
Germuny's dream of a middle
Europe, and of eventual world
empire, began with the Turkish
alliance.
Germany's hope of a huge
Teutonic empire stretching from
Berlin to Bagdad, crumbled with
the defection of tho Sick Man of
Europe.
Austria-Hungary's disintegra
tion followed the surrender,
whispers of abdication and ruin
were poured into the ears of the
Hohenzollerns with the collapse
of their dreams, and Germany is
left alone to face a world aligned
against her.
Henry Morgenthau, for years
in the center of the Turkish tur
moil, will tell all about his experi
ences there in the Chestnut street
auditorium to-night.
Meeting at 8 o'clock, doors
open at 7 o'clock. Open to the
public, no charge for admission,
no seats reserved.
Members of the executive commit
tee of the United War Work cam
paign in Ijarrisburg, confidently ex
pect thut when Henry Morgentliau,
formerly ambassador to Turkey, be
gins his speech in the Chestnut
street auditorium to-night, one of the
largest crowds that hus ever tilled
the auditorium, will be on hand to
hear him.
Mr. Morgenthau will arrive In the
city late this afternoon and will be
entertained at the home of Mrs.
Henry McCormick, 301 North Front
street, during his stay here. This aft
ernoon he made a speech In Ijan
caster on trie United War Work
Fund, and will continue his tour of
the country during the campaign.
Mr. Morgenthau'B scheduled talk
on conditions in Turkey as they were
during his stay there from 1913 un
til the outbreak of war with Ger
many, is awaited with interest by
thousands in the city. As ambassador
from the United States, and as
guardian of the British interests aft
er Britain s entrance Into the war,
Mr. Morgenthau got an insight into
the happenings within the Ottoman
empire which make him an authority
on the Near East.
Owing to the surrender of Turkey,
the collapse of Bulgaria, and finally
the apparent disintegration of Aus
tria-Hungary, the eyes of the world
are centered in that direction. Mr.
Morgenthau will tell llarrisburgers
to-night all about the condition ot'
things which led to the Turkish and
Bulgarian debacle, and sowed the
seeds of insurrection and secession
in Austria-Hungary and Germany.
Ministers to l'urtlcipato
The unity of the seven war re
lief organizations which embrace all
creeds but preach and act but one
gospel, will he emphasized by the
presence on the platform of min
isters of all faiths, and the partici
pation in the program of the Rt.
Rev. Philip R. McDevitt. Rabbi
' Louis J. Haus, and the Rev. Henry

A band will furnish music for the

'the city organization are highly
elated over the prospects of a huge
turnout.

i
Marshal Foch Not Only
Great Warrior but
Good Golf .Player
Of course more than one golf
er has suspected what now comes
to light 1.e., that Marshal Foch,
leader of the Allied forces, is a
golf enthusiast. Such is the In
formation conveyed by Henry
Leach in the Illustrated Sporting
and Dramatic News. Incidental
to this interesting lilt of informa
tion about the Frenchman whose
name is on the world's tongue
these days, Mr. Leach casually
mentions that gojf is one of the
chief recreations of Sir Douglas
Haig and of Admiral Beatty.
Thut Marshal Foch is a "hard
hitter" might be Inferred from
his acompltahments in the stern
er game. Mr. Leach has discov
ered that the brilliant general
succeeded by dint of professional
advice and practice in geting his
game down to a twelve handicap
basis, which is neither the skill
of a top-notcher nor yet the hope
less state of the dub. The article
says furthermore:
"It is stated that Foch played
a slow and cautious game. It
seems to be what one would have
expected of him, and if the re--
suits of his thought and care in
golf were anything like those that
have attended the same methods
in his generalship some other
persons in the past must have
had some francs to pay. We are
told that he had a quite anvustng
dislike to losing balls, and in the
evening after dinner would stroll
out with a string bag and collect

In triumphant after a long walk
in the dusk with quite a collection
found with the aid of an electric
flash light. There seems some
thing odd about this story, but
these are not times for question
ing any statement about Foch
that is not to his advantage and,
us some may think, is perhaps a
little the other way. So Mttrshul
Foch shall puss us a golfter and
all will be Immensely pleased to
see him play In peace."

Six-Inch Left Hook
Knocks Out Levinsky
With a, left hook which moved
but six Inches but which had the
force of a pile driver Jack Dempsey
established himself as light-heavy
weight champion at the Olympia in
Philadelphia last night by knocking
cold in the third round "Battling Le
vinsky," who since he began boxing
five years ago had never taken the
count. In the annals of the squared
circle this engagement will long be
famed, for it was sensational in the
extreme, and to many spectators so
shocking that they agreed for the
moment with certain distinguished
Americans that boxing should be eli
minated from the National War
Fund activities.
"Battling Levinsky" and his man
ager, Denny Morgan, had given out
that they feared not the Californian
cyclone, and they appeared not to
know what he could do. Levinsky's
boxing in the first round was the
equal of Corbett in his best days,
and, indeed, this Hebrew athlete
has been often compared to Gentle
man Jim in his style. Old-timers
could see that Dempsey was only
studying his proposed victim and
would shortly cut loose, which was
the course he pursued in the sec
ond round when Levinsky was floor
ed for a count of nine by the same
punch that finished hint. Says one
critic:
"From the start ho was a beaten
man, and when in the closing min

'DRYS'ADD THREE
MORE STATES TO
GROWINGCOLUMN
Prohibition Amendment May
Secure More Votes When
Returns Arc Counted
Washington, Nov. 7. —At least
three more states adopted state-wide
prohibition in Tuesday's election,
and when the returns are completed
the number may be increased.
In Ohio the drys have a majority
of almost 6,000, with 500 precincts
in anti-rum territory to be heard
from.
Wyoming adopted a prohibition
amendment by a vote of 2 to 1.
Florida, a greater part of which
has been dry under local option, also
adopted a prohibition amendment to
the state constitution.
In Missouri the result is in doubt,
but the St. Louis vote is supposed to
have carried victory for the wets.
Minnesota also voted on a state
prohibition amendment. The dry
forces have a slight lead.
California is in doubt. Two state
constitutional amendments affecting
booze were voted upon. One is a
bone-dry amendment. It Is running
behind, due to the heavy San Fran
cisco vote against it.
No returns are in from Nevada on
prohibition. ,
All these elections are distinct
from the issue of ratication' of the
Federal prohibition amendment now
I before the legislatures of many
states. ,
Woman suffrage amendments to
the state constitutions were appar
-1 entty adopted Tuesday in Michigan
] and South Dakota. The voters of
Oklahoma defeated equal suffrage.
In Louisiana suffrage was defeated
I by only 15,000 votes. ,

Ed Levinsky into the latter's corner
and delivered the finishing punch,
the beaten man toppled to the ropes
unconscious.
'His body crumpled backward, and
in fulling he dropped to side.
His head would have crashed against
the floor but for the merciful inter
vention of the lower rope of the
ring. Across this Levinsky hung, his
body half out of the ring, and teeter
ing on the sagging rope.
"Those without the ring pushed
Levinsky off the rope and into the
ring, where he fell huddled into a
half sitting posture against the ropes.
His head fell back. His manager,
Dan Morgan, shouted in his ear,
while Referee Jimmy Dougherty, the
promoter of the bout, began tolling
the fatal ten seconds. '
"Dougherty might just as well
have counted a thousand. Levinsky
was totally unconscious to the din,
to the shouted words of advice, to
the alert Dempsey, to the scream
ing thousands. His head bobbed for
ward, und he rolled over on the
floor. The count ended, and Demp
sey was the winner.
"Seconds jumped into the ring and
with Dempsey's assistance, carried
the completely collapsey Levinsky
to his corner, where after five minu
tes he was revived. He had to be
assisted from the ring and curried
upstairs to his dressing room, where
he collapsed again, while tears flow
ed down his cheeks."
