The number of attacking enemy divisions is not yet known for certain, but we know that our losses in prisoners were due to the extensive use by the enemy of tanks More than 1000 armored cars of all sizes participated
 "One of our divisions counted in is sector alone 60 large and 40 small tanks Troops who hold out stoutly in their positions are always liable to be surrounded by this mobile arm"

CANADIAN FRONT QUIET


 With the Canadian Forces in France, Tuesday, September 17.-(By the Canadian Press. s.)-Comparative quiet prevails along the Canadian front. but both sides are watchful and the British have no inten- tion of returning to the old days of set tied trench warfare. Raiding operations are being carried out along the Canal Du Nord The Germans are shelling the Can adfan positions rather heavily, especially with gas, but so far the enemy has shown no intention. of attacking Sniping with big guns has become feature of the present conditions.
 Night bombing has become more ac- tive, but the capable handling of the searchlights on the Canadian front Is de- feating the enemy's intentions. Last night every German raider was turned back, most of them being caught in the rays or the searchlights and held until they scur- ried to safety. One machine was brought down in flames, the crew taking to para chutes and landing within the Canadian line. The crew of another machine brought down today saved their lives by means of parachutes
 EVACUATION INDICATED With the American Army on the Lorraine Front. September 1S-tBy the | Associated Press.)-American patrols after a night near the enemy's lines reported that the Germans were plac- ing mines at various points in the region of Haumont This seemingly indicated that the Germans are pre- pairing to evacuate.
 The Germans are strengthening their dugouts and strong points along the Hindenburg line opposite the American positions. Aviators report that the enemy is building additional telegraph

 WANT HUNS KILLED
 Many interesting stores are told by New York men who were among the first to enter Essey (about five and a court where 20 German officers were captured. One relates to three young and pretty French women, who, when our troops reached Essey ran frantic ally to them and pointed to three of the Germans, demanding that they be killed.
 Men who witnessed it told me it was one of the most dramatic inCi- dents they had seen in the war. When our officers explained to them that prisoners could not be disposed of in any such way these women tried to attack the Huns. Later. amid tears. they explained that two years ago. the Germans had seized them in northern France: since that time they had been forced to serve them as nenials. Many such sordid stories were told of the Germans
 From the village of Pagny- Sur Mo- selle, just inside the German line, there has come to us from reliable sources many accounts of German brutality. The Huns recently shot q 17-year-old boy to death. No. reason for this act has ever been given to the boys rela- tives.

NEAR HINDENBURG LINE

British Headquarters in the Field, Sep tember 1S.-(Reuters via Montreal. )-This mornings attack, extending from south of Gouzeaucourt to the junction of our right flank with the French army, car ried the line we'll into the enemy out
 post zone and brought us nearer the
 Hindenburg system over wide stretch. The country hereabouts consisting of lit- tic ridges, gullies and woods, lends itself to the elastic defense which the Germans are employing.
 The attack probably surprised the en- emy. The intense attack moved by pros gressive stages, as it was necessary to pause while the enemy pockets were cleared out.
 Reports from the French are that they are progressing well in conformity with our own advance, especially in the region of Savy wood The news during the early hours was fragmentary, as rain
 was falling when the attack was launched and airplane observation, one of the sources of early intelligence. was inn
 possible. The weather has since iin- proved.
 Progress is reported at many places and
 prisoners are coming in. GERMANS COUNTER ATTACKING Berlin, September 1S.--(Via London)
 The Germans are counter-attacking
 against the British, who, they admit
 have entered the German positions be-
 tween Hargicourt and the Omignon rivu-
 let according to the statement from
 headquarters this evening.
 The statement says:
 Anglo French attacks were carried out on wide front from Havrincourt wood to the Somme. Counter-attacks are now
 progressing against our enemies, wht
 penetrated in the center of the battlefield
 between Hargicourt and Omignon rivu- l let.
 "On the rest of the front enemy attacks failed We are fighting everywhere west l of our old Siegfried positions.

AUSTRALIANS MAKE GOOD

In the center the Australians had to fight for every inch of ground they took, but they pushed steadily forward until they reached the crest of the ridge. By 8:90 o'clock the Australians had already taken total of 300 prisoners. Most of these were Bavarians and men of the First German reserve division and they appeared to be of poor class of men, as they came struggling back disconso- lately through the drizzling rain
 One of the hottest engagemenes took place just south of LeVerguler, where the Germans mad fortified themselves in mill. This stronghold was surrounded and 180 of the garrison were forced to surrender
 On the right flank there was equally hard fighting. Holnon had been taken yesterday as a preliminary to today's at tack, and from this point the British went forward. No great advance was ex- pected in this zone, however, as the line had already been pushed forward prac- tically to the old positions.
 Last night German airplanes were busy bombing the St. Quentin sector, and the enemy utilized a number of new type planes of huge size Three of these were shot down east of Peronne. They were capable of seating eight men. The most astounding thing about them. however, was that they carried bombs 13 feet long, which containued 2000 pounds of ex- plosves This is by far the biggest bomb the Germans have vet produced

however, were important, both from the defensive and offensive standpoints.
 The assaults began at dawn. Unfor- tunately rain began to fall about o'clock and when the British went over the top the ground was already slimy and hard to negotiate, especially when the ridges were reached and the men had to charge up them. Tanks accompanied the troops and rendered invaluable service in the early stages of the conflift, which waXed warm from the start
 The British preliminary bombardment was brief and was followed by the cus- tomary barrage for the protection of the advancing infantry
 The Germans immediately replied with a vicious fire from large numbers of guns concentrated behind the St. Quentin canal.
 Airplane observation was virtually irn- possible during the first hours of fight ing from either side, so that the gum ners were shooting by map and were, therefore, greatly handicapped.
 On the north PeiZiere and a strongly fortified sugar factory to the northeast were taken by storm after hard fighting Epehy proved a tough nut to crack. Here the famous Alpine corps had been brought up, and the German army boasts no better troops than these.
 It was futile to attempt frontal
 attack against this place, which was
 fairly bristIing with machine guns.
 The British, accordingly, worked
 it to the north md south and
 squeezed it out.
 Ronssoy was carried by storm, and 1O1 prisoners were gleaned from the surviv- ing garrison.
