ALLIES THREATEN TO
ENVELOP GERMANS

Paris, Oct. 23-The allies are roll
ing back the German lines.
They have pushed a wedge through
the invading force thirteen miles
north of Lille and for the first time
since the series Of battles in the north
commenced they have pushed their
forces east of Lille.
The advantage gained is slight
two miles-but IL Is declared extreme
ly important. The allies are now in
position to envelop the German
right flank and 1t is confidently ex.
pected here that they will be able to
do so within the next week or ten
days.
Officials in touch with the situa-
tion declare that the Germans have
lost the chief move in the strategical
battle by their failure to maintain
the perpendicular line extending from
Lille to the coast near Ostend.
They declare that the center of the
German right flank has been pierced
and that 1t is now only a question of
short time when the German head
quarters at Lille must move east.

VILLAGES SHELLED
BY OPPOSING ARMIES

London, Oct 23.-The correspond
ent of the Times at Bologne describes
the desperate fighting of the last week
in which the Germans were driven
back from village to village to the out
skirts of Lille. He says:
THE destruction has been terrible.
Some of the villages have been shelled
by both the allies and Germans and
many noncombatants have been killed.
A whole family was found dead in
one house. In one of the villages 500
dead Germans were found after the
fighting. The cartridges in their pos.
session, 1t was noted, were of the
old Snder type with a large lead bul.

During some of the attacks the al
nes had only time to make rough
trenches a couple of feet deep and
were obliged to lie In them at full
length. They gained much ground, but
