ENEMY WILL NOT
COUNTER ATTACK
UNDOUBTEDLY MORE DISOR-
GANIZED THAN EVER
BEFORE.

With the British Army in France
Sept. 4 (By the Associated Press, at
noon)-Exploiting their successes OF
Yesterday, the British today pushed
forward to the Canal du Nord and
are establishing posts on the western
bank. Attempts to cross the canal
have i'll every case been met with
heavy gun fire and it is evident the
enemy intends to stand here as long
as possible.
Reports from the north and south
indicated that virtually the whole OF
the British front is being moved up.
Local attacks in the north are help
ing the Germans TO decide to move
farther.
In the Drocourt battle zone, the
British have occupied ground east OF
lnchy- Artois and are holding the
canal crossings northwest and south
east OF the town.
Further south the British hold
Hermies, Demicourt, Manacourt and
the ridge to the east and also Le-
chelle.
Field Marshal Haig's forces have
entered Ypres. southeast OF Ba-
paume. and northeast OF Peronne,
the enemy STILLS retreating.
The British have reached Moislans
and there has been figtng in the
streets OF the village. Other British
forces have started moving in a
southeasterly direction down the
canal to meet another force coming
up from AllaineS. and are cleaning
up the Germans in that locality,
South OF the Arras Cambria road,
Canadian troops are on the canal
bank on front OF 1000 yards. The
British artillery now is pounding the
area in the rear OF the canal while
troops from the west bank every
where are delivering a RAIN OF ma
chine gun bullets on the enemy.
The Germans have destroyed their
canal bridges at several places, in
cluding that to the east OF Bourses,
fearing that they might be rushed
and crossed.
There are indications that the Ger
mans still are playing for time. East
OF Peronne. the British have made
further slight advances.
In the north the Germans still are
retiring and in many villages i'll vari-
ous localities the torch has been ap-
piled.
Numerous explosions also have
been reported, the Germans appar-
emily blowing up their works and
stores. The destruction OF the Canal
du Nord crossings clearly shows that
the Germans are entirely on the de-
fensive and have definitely decided

LONDON SPECULATES
ON NEXT ENEMY MOVE
IMPRESSION is THAT GER
MANS WILL MAKE STAND
BACK OF OWN LINE.

London, Sept. 4.-The progress
OF tremendous NentS on the battle
front in France is being followed
wit L almost breathlesS cagernesS
by he whole British nation. The
mo1 significant feature OF Tues
days developments was that the
expected German attempt to resore
the position broken in the Wotan
line did not materalizc. The fail
.ure OF the enemy to make such an
attempt apparently is attributed to
the speed and energy with which
Field Marshal Haig'S armies were
able to press the advance on the
retiring enemy.
Informed observers, however
continue to speculate on when and
where the enemy will pull himself
together.
Disastrous as the blow already
has been to German prestige and
seriously as the German position is
endangered, experts here are not
expressing anticipation OF an early
debacle and admit the probability
OF some deienSes being organized
behind the enemy lines in an at
tempt to check the allied advance.
Some German prisoners taken III
the battle, talk confidently OF the
impending arrival of great reserve
army under General Mackensen,
who will turn the tables on the al
lied forces, but obviously it is i'm
possible here to throw any light on
such reports. Whatever the future
may hold: the actual situation is re-
garded as one OF extraordinary
promise for the allies and contain
ing the possibility OF the com
pulsorily abandonment OF the en-
tire northern German front. includ-
ing the Flanders coast.
Americans Important.
While featuring the dramatic de-
velopmentS on the British front
commentators do not neglect to en-
phasizc the great importance OF the
operation on the southern half end
of the battle line where the French
and Americans are holding against
large enemy forces and making pro-
gresS. French official dispatches
deal almost laconitally with these
operations. but their value as a CON
tribution to Germany's defeat are
not overlooked here. Recognition
really is given to the incalculable
bearing on the entire situation OF
the presence OF the rapidly growing
American army.

 From the beginning there great problem the perfect German military machine in the East It paid very little attention to the lilly equipped Rus. they had driven wedge almost to Cracow, then Hndenburg threw against the Slavs sufficient force drive them back.

The Allies necessarily must maintain a long battle line, knowing where the Germans may strike, and cannot throw all of their reserves into one compact mass the the Germans can do of the superior and shorter transportation lines of communication.
