U.S. PLANS ARMY OF 3,000,000 MI
MRS. DE SAULLES ON STAND TODAY
BY: H.S RUSHMORE
Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.
Mineola, L. I., Nov. 26.- Mrs. Blanca Errazuriz De Saulles, the beautiful young Chilean on trial for slaying her husband, John L. De Saulles takes the stand as the first witness for the defence here today. It is an ordeal, for her direct examination is to consume the entire day. Through that she will be led with the utmost possible gentleness by her attorney, Henry A. Uterhart. But her cross-examination, according to a statement made by District Attorney Charles R. Weeks, will be a very different matter.
It is an ordeal, for her direct examination is to consume the entire ay. Through that she will be led with the utmost possible gentleness by her attorney, Henry A. Uterhart. But her cross-examination, according to a statement made by District Attorney Charles R. Weeks, will be a very different matter. 
"I have a sworn duty to perform," said he, "and I cannot reconcile my conscience to display any leniency toward the defendant because of her sex, or her youth or her frail physical condition as pictured by her counsel in his opening address. 
"Mrs. DeSaulles will be cross-examined upon all points of the case and neither fear nor favor will be shown."
From the grim determination with which the district attorney seemed to regard his duty, a gruelling cross-examination of the defendant is in-escapable, her attorneys believe.  
FEAR SHE WILL COLLAPSE. 
"We are worried, not by what the district attorney may be able to learn from Mrs. De Saulles by means of even the most severe cross-examination," declared Mr. Uterhart this morning. "Our concern is wholly for Mrs. De Saulles herself, lest the strain prove too great and she breaks down on the stand."
Mrs. De Saulles was too ill yesterday even to see her son Jack. 
"Mrs. De Saulles has nothing to conceal. She will tell the truth, both under my questioning and that of the district attorney," Uterhart added. 
The story Mrs. De Saulles will tell will be the story of her life. Her life has covered but the brief span of twenty-three years. It held much of joy during her early years and for a short time after she married John Longer De Saulles at the age of six-teen. Then tragedy entered.
It was a tragedy against which she

BRITISH HAMMER AHEAD
By International News Service. 
London, Nov. 26.-- British and French troops are today hammering the German lines with telling blows over a wide area of the western front. Where the allied infantry is not assaulting, the artillery is pounding the German positions. 
Following the beginning of the British drive against Cambral last Tuesday the supplementary successes of the British have swept the Germans lines so close to the German stronghold that the prediction was made today that this week will see the evacuation of the city by the Germans. That the civilian population is already leaving is indicated by the heavy traffic from the city southeastward. 
For five days the Teutons have been putting up a determined resistance in the Cambral sector, but at every point where an attempt was made to stem the British onrush the resistance was overcome by the whirlwind attacks of Field Marchal Haig's men.  
QUEANT SWITCH MENACED.
There was a violent struggle west of Cambrai throughout Sunday, which left the British masters of strategic heights dominating the city.
North of Fontaine Notre Dame, in the sectors of the village of Bourlon and Bourlon forest, the British attempted to cut through the German lines in a northeasterly direction to get in between Cambrai and Queant. (Queant is the southern bastion defending the Queant-Drocourt switch, the chief support of the northern end of the Hindenburg line. Queant lies just west of the scene of Sunday's struggle.
Furious hand to hand fighting took place among the ruins of the village
Tetanus Germs in Vaccine for American Army
By International News Service
Washington, Nov. 26- A suspected nation-wide plot by German agents to create an epidemic of tetanus in the National Army has been uncovered here. Vaccine points coated with matter containing tetanus germs were the instruments of the plot.
As a result, the National Vaccine Company of this city, which had first warning of the situation, attempted to recall 5,000,000 points which it had shipped broadcast over the country, and at least 200,000 of which had gone to the War Department for us in the National Army.
Thousands of these points had already been used in the National Army. Thousands of these points had already been used on soldiers, but so far no tetanus cases have been reported. 
Of the others, ten tetanus cases came to the attention of the company, which immediately recalled the points and notified the Federal authorities. An investigation has been begun by the Department of Justice.

TEUTONS FLEE OVER BORDER
By International News Service
Amsterdam, Nov. 26.- Alarmed by the great number of German soldiers that are crossing the Dutch frontier, the German government is taking drastic measures to stop the desertions, said a dispatch from the border today.
These deserters come from both Germany and Belgium, and it is estimated that more than 40,000 of them have come into this country since the first of August. 
A large colony of German deserters has been established in this city and "deserters' quarter" looks like a section removed from a German city and set down in Amsterdam. 
The Socialists among the deserters have established a newspaper here called Der Kamp (The Struggle), which appears weekly.
Some of the deserters still wear the field gray of the German army, but most of them are dressed in nondescript articles of apparel, half civilian and half military. The chief cafe in the heart of the German colony bears the jovial title of "Wine, Women, and Song."
SENTENCE GERMAN SPIES IN NORWAY

Washington, Nov. 26
Formation of "War Ananias Clubs" of men and women who circulate false rumors to hamper successful prosecution of the war, is suggested to the American public in a statement issued by the National Commission of Patriotic Societies. The society proposes that the names of persons found responsible for such stories be posted publicly.
Carnegie Plans to Live to 100
New York, Nov. 26.- When Andrew Carnegie was celebrating his eighty-second birthday at his house on Fifth avenue and Ninety-first street he sent out word through a secretary that he was well and intended to live to be a hundred. The message was to this effect:
"A man's birthday when he is eighty-two doesn't count. It's when he is eighty or eighty-five that matters. I shall be a hundred. That is my goal. I never felt so well in all my life."
Those who saw Mr. Carnegie said his Summer in Lenox, Mass., had made a new man of him. An attack of pneumonia last Spring left him in a weakened condition, but a Summer among the hills braced him wonderfully. He is in exceptionally good health now.
