BOTH SIDES GAIN
Allies Climbing the Ladder
Leading Into Belgium.
Arras Site of Turning Point Of
the Campaign.
fRy J. wv. b. Mason.l

New FORK. Oct. 5-The allies are
steadily climbing the ladder leading
into Belgium. while the Germans are
consistently pushing the latter farther
away from their own lines of COM
munication. At the southern end of
bottom of the ladder, the allies are
within IL miles of the main railway
that runs through the German lines
back to Liege and the chief German
supply station at AK lie Chappelle and
Cologne. But at Arras, where the ad-
vance army of the allies now rests.
this distance has been increased to 81
mile.
Arras is so miles nearer Belgium
than the bottom of the ladder. and this
made as the fourth week of the Aisne
battle opens. The, Germans. however.
have put an additional 20 miles of
safety between the lines of commun-
ication and the enemy. which constf-
tutes the gain of the three weeks
fore, have made simultaneous ad-
vances against each other along the
same flank. This is q condition with
out precedent on q large scale in the
history of warfare.
Fighting ut ROye.
Coupled with it is the further ex-
ceptiOnal fact that the allies are con-
tinuing to climb the ladder to Bel
GUM. while fighting is proceeding on
a number of the rungs. The most I'M
portant of these conflicts at present
is in the neighborhood of ROye, one
third of the distance between Arras
and the bottom of the ladder. The
Germans are trying to shove the lad
der farther away, at Roye. where IT
is about Is miles from their indispen-
sible railway.
Arras, however, is looming up into
prominence as the site OF the turning
point in the campaign.
Here, the chief railway which the
allies are using turns to the east.
piercing the German battle front and
proceeding to Brussels. by way OF the
supposedly strong German positions
at Valenciennes and Mons. Another
line Just beyond Arras at Douai moves
northward toward Client. This Sec
ond route while running farther away
from the German communications,
marks the natural direction for the
relief of Antwerp. There is no rea-
son to believe Antwerp is in need OF
immediate succor, and it seems there
fore that Arras, % miles from the
Belgian frontier or some nearby town,
must be the termination OF the allies
purely northern movement
Arras because of it's railway I'M
portance, is the natural pivot Tor the
allies to use in swinging to the east
and concentrating on the German line
of communication through Belgium
This pivotal movement cannot De
long delayed and probably will mark
the next phase Of the campaign.

Ct aSSED MINI IS
Boston Pastor Given Rough
Treatnent BY Germans.


London. oct 5.-Albert A. Williams.
pastor OF the Maverick Congregations
church of Boston. has reached Lonoon
after arrest and imprisonment In Brue-
sells at the hands of the German mill
tary authorities on the charge OF being
an English spy and with trying to buy
information concerning the movement
Notes made by Mr. Williams in q
French dictionary for q sermon on the
horror Of war fell into the hands of
the Germans when he was arrested.
A German lieutenant Thought they
constituted a code message because OF
the abbreviated form In WINCH they
had been put down.
Mr.. williams was arrested at the
Metropole hotel in Brussels and taken
to German military headquarters. He
was held along with thirty other prfs-
oners, mostly Belgians, and put
through very drastic examination.
He was not permitted to communicate
with Brand Whitlock, the American
minister in Brussels. Finally. how
ever. he persuaded q German student
that he was not q spy and managed to
get q letter to Mr.. WhitlOck. who
brought about his release.
Mr.. Williams says that during the
two days of his imprisonment he and
the other man locked up with him were
denounced by the Germans as pigs and
showered with oaths in an effort to
frighten them. The Belgian prisoners
regard Williams as a friend, but they
all were reluctant to talk as they feared
the Germans had spies among them.
