GERMAN HELP ASKED
IN HASTENING PEACE
Russian Bolsheviki Call for
United Action Among So
cialist Parties.
UNITY IS CLAIMED
Adherence of Teutons to
Government Expected to
Upset Plans.
By Associated Press
COPENHAGEN, Xov. 21. Com
munications have been established be
tween the Russian Bolsheviki and the
German Modern Socialists. The tele
gram from the Bolsheviki committee
at Stockholm, which was to have been
one of the features of the great' So
cialist mass meeting addressed by
Philip Scheldemann, the German So
cialist Leader, at Dresden last Sun
day, arrived at the capital of Saxony
too late to be read.
The Bolsheviki greeting was
scarcely all the Scheldemann Social
ists desired. It declared that a long,
hard fight was ahead before the great
forces of capital created inside and
outside of Russia could be forced to
accept the desired basis of peace,
and It called upon the German Social
ists to follow the Russian example
and Join In mass action or an interna
tional -proletariate.
The Bolsheviki committee spoke of
receiving assurances of energetic sup
port from the Socialist parties In
France, as well as In Austria-Hungary
and Germany, but the Vorwaerts says
it feels compelled to doubt the state
ment regarding the French Socialists.
A majority of the German Socialists
have over and over again shown that
they have no intention of departing
from their attitude pf supporting
their government and doing their duty
as loyal, cltizens-Jn the war.

BRITISH ARMY L FRANCE, Xov.
-I. The Germans are now lightinir
on their last line of defense at one
point of the British attack.
Ity Associated Tress
LONDON, Nov. 21.-The HIndenburg
line has been broken to a donth f
.uur or nve miles, the war office of
ficially announced today. The British
troops stormed the first system of
the HIndenburg line defense on the
whole front between St. Quentin and
the Scarpe River. The British In
fantry and tanks pressed on and cap
tured the second system of defense
over a mile beyond.
The attack was begun yesterday by
the Third Army. There were no ar
tillery preparations and the Ger
mans were taken completely by surprise.
The second system ot German de
fense captured by the British is known
as the HIndenburg support line. The
British captured Benovis, Lameau
Wood. La Vacquerie, the defense
known as Welsh Ridge, and Rebecourt
village. Several thousand prisoners
have been taken.
Tanks Lead Attack and Break wire.
The whole German line west of the
Canal Du Nord to Bapaume. north of
Cambrai, has been captured. The
British also fought their wnv ihm.,
Coulllet Wood. Lieutenant General Sir
Julian Byng Is In command of the at-
lacKing army.
A large number of tanks moved for
ward In advance of the infantrv nh
the attack was opened and broke
inrougn successive belts of German
wire defenses, which were or great
depth and strength.
From St. Quentin to Scarpe Is
twenty-two miles. The British drive
covers a part of the field of last year's
offensive on the Sommo and the sec
tion of the Arras battle front south of
Arras. The British center in this
thrust Is nearly opposite Cambrai, the
important German base and railwav
center, from wheih the British line on
the Bapaume-Cambrai road is about
nine miles distant, as it has stood for
several months.
Important Movement, But a Surprise.
The main force of the push Just
launched is apparently aimed at
Cambrai, along this road. The Brit
ish movement In Its early phases
gives the appearance of being the
most ambitious that has been nnrtpr.
taken by 'them on the western front
since the creation of the new army In
the Flanders sector for the pushing
back of the Germans.
The attack came almost without
warning, the only premonitory symp
tom being a series of trench raids, it
is considered possible that the Brit
ish secret service had knowledge of
the weakening of the German front in
the west by the withdrawal of troops
to give assistance to the push in
Northern Italy.
