HUN RETREAT
CONTINUES
UNABATED
Whole Line North of Disc Is In
Fluid State, With Enemy
Still Making Rapid
Retreat.

Associated Press Service.
WASHINGTON, oct 19.-The
German retreat from Belgium con-
tinued today at a rate that indi-
Gated early arrival of the allied
forces before the first of the enemy's
series of defense lines. Reports from
the front were of a scattering char
acter, however, and furnished Of
ficers here with little basis for gaug-
ing the immediate strategic situa-
ton.
one unofficial report placed the
Anglo American advance patrols in
the western edge of the forest of
Normal, between Valenciennes and
Avesnes. If this is correct the first
subsidiary line of the enemy has al
ready been broken.
Gen. March referred to this sjtua-
ton today in his weekly conference,
saying:
From lie Cateau northward the
British have reached but have not
Yet attempted TO cross the German
defense line which there follows the
east bank Of the Selle up TO the Sen
see marshes"
IOSAllOilS
The situation along the front was
in such a state Of hux. shifting every
hour with the German withdrawal
gaining in speed, that Gen. March
made no effort TO outline the strate-
gic possibility. He did, however, call
attention to the fact that the with
drawal had expanded 10 cover prac-
tically the whole $50 mile front
from the coast 10 the Meuse, where
Gen. Pershing's forces are carry
ing forward the allied right wing.
If the German commanders are
successful in bringing their great
retreat to a halt on the expected
defensive line, officers here believe
that the enemy cannot long remain
in that position. The Anglo-Ameri-
can thrust already appears TO have
fractured the keystone of the Client
Tournai-Valencien Avesnes arch
at Morpal forest
Enemy Lines Demoralizcd.
There is much speculation here,
however. as TO whether the enemy
will be able 70 stop the tide of re-
treat ne has started. now that il is
in full swing. The whole enemy line
from the Oise north is in a fluid
state. Observers believe it will be
difficult matter 10 solidify it again
il allied pressure can keep pace with
the retreat.
The very depth Of the enemy
withdrawal, it is possible, may serve
TO give him time for this Teadjust-
ment. The communication lines Of
the French. British and Belgian
armies are rolling out behind them
in ever extending avenues back Of
their bases. The armies cannot out
run those arteries and il takes time
70 repair and build railways to
handle the vast supplies that must
go forward every hour.
Pause Expected Soon.
To some officers, therefore. il
seems likely that a pause will soon
occur in Belgium and on the north
ern half of the great battle front
They are watching intently. how
ever for a new thrust BY the Amer
lean and Franco American force
east and west Of the Meuse who
perhaps are holding the key TO the
whole enemy front. whatever plans
for gradual withdrawal 10 the Ger
man frontier have been made.
