French and British in Ar tois and Champagne Re port Further Progress Which is Contradicted by the Germans
BELGIUM DENUDED
 OF GERMAN TROOPS
German Detachments Are Removed from Eastern Front to Meet Greatest Effort in West Since the Armies Took Positions
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

LONDON, Sept. 29.-The allies great offensive in Artois and Champagne is still persevered in, according to French accounts and contradicted by German official reports and further progress made in both areas In Artols the French claim to have reached Hill No. 40. directly east of Viny. The inn portance of the hill lies in the fact 1t commands the plains east and the net work of roads and railway which runs from Lens sOuthWard. So far as Champagne is concerned, the French appear to be making their chief effort toward the railroad junction north of Massigeh, which accounts for the des- perate efforts of the Germans to stem the tide and for the Grown Princes counter stroke in the Argonne, as the railway connects the German army in the Argonne with the base at VauZiers.
 Perhaps the heaviest fighting since the offensive began is now going on for the British are attacking the Ger man third line of defenses south of the Labassee canal and the Germans have brought up endorsements against botE the British and French and are making every effort to retrieve their lost ground. Belgium, dispatches say, is denuded of troops, while the Gerpan detachments have even been removed from the eastern front to meet the greates effort in the west since the armies took up positions from Belgium to Switzerland
 The Germans are trying to divert the allies by heavy artillery bombardment north and south of Aisne but the French are striking with all the force they can command at the points se- lectcd. It is reported the German en- peror has arrived on the western front and has already dismissed some of his generals for allowing the lines to be pressed back to almost the breaking point. Despite the transfer of some troops to the west. The Germans con- tinue to strike hard at the Russians practically all along the front. General vOn Hindenburg is delivering heavy strokes against Dvinsk, while his col leagues on the right are pushing for ward east of Nilieka and MolOdechno in an attempt to turn the Russian po- sition and has now reached a point north of Minsk, which another army is advancing on from the southwest.
 Field Marshal von Mackensen and Prince Leopold of Bavaria are inactive owing doubtless to the marshes being now impossible but General von Lin singen is still pressing hard on the Russians in Volhynia. It is expected operations in the east, as with the con tinued rains the rivers cannot be ford

Correspondent of Reuters Telegram Company De- scribes in Vivid Terms Fighting of Allies on the Western Front
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPATcHI

LONDON, Sept. 29.-A correspond ent Of Reuters Telegram company sends the following from the British head quarters. under date of Tuesday, de- scribing the fighting of the allies on the western front:
 The first charge, made by our men from the Vermelles trenches early Sat urday, which carried them through the village of Loos, to the summit of Hill 70 and beyond, will rank as one of the most glorious exploits of the British army. The German trenches defending the village fell first, then a race across some open country and they were in the streets of Loos. Some hand to hand fighting with bombs and bayo- nets and then out of the village to the slopes of Hill 70, about half mile east.
 A last desperate rush took them to the summit, some going even beyond, unchecked by the strong earthWOrk de- fense with numerous machine guns. The enemys battery by this timc had begun to concentrate on the sloI1s of the hill. therefore our men were or dered to dig in about one hundred yards from the summit.
 Fierce fighting continued around the hill on Sunday and Monday. New army battalions played an important part in the attack: men inexperienced in real fighting sprang forward to the sound of the officers whistles with a dash and gallantry nothing could stop.
 Paying no heed to the terrible fire poured from the hidden guns, they pressed forward at a steady pace, making their way through the barbed wire entanglenients. forcing the en- emies' trenches and bayoneting the Germans in them. The Germans caught hiding in cellars, from which they kept up a steady fire on the men flashing through the streets, were hauled forth. A machine gun firing through holes in the walls of

Cheer after cheer greeted the aged veterans as the parade moved slowly, with falterinG footsteps, along the historic Pennsylvania avenue from the capitol to the White House over the same route taken by the troops of General Grants remarkable army fifty years ago. Touched by old war songs sung by the veterans as they marched. thousands of people along the way wiped tears from their eyes even as they cheered
 The weather was ideal.
 One drum corps was followed by a sirgle old soldier marching equipped just as he had marched fifty years ago. On his shoulder he carried the same musket he used the war.
 From the standpoint of the old soldier, the parade was the greatest event of the forty ninth annual en- Having marched in the parade he was ready to go home happy
 Cheering was loud and prolonged. Older veterans doffed their caps or hats. Others answered the applause by skipping around the street every now and then, just to show they were still spry and active.
