many bridges to facilitate the retreat.
Canal locks are being blown up daily,
and likewise railroad bridges, cross
ings, switches and power plants.
Munition dumps, wherever possible,
are being removed and aerodromes are
being dismantled. Tho German heavy
artillery fire has already slackened con-
siderably since the guns have been
taken across the rivers and the flooded
areas like that of the Escaut (Scheldt).
The latter is flooded from Espierre to
Guermignies. The Germans expect to
retire to Client and then to Ant
werp. The first halt will be along
the line Renaix to Leuze and further
south along the 'Dindere'' line from
Termonde to Lessines, Ath, Mons. Maui
beuge, and perhaps later from Antwerp
to Namur.
Evidently the German object is to
shorten the line and conserve the di-
visions, which are decimated and ex-
hausted by long and hard fighting It
is certain that Marshal Foch does not
intend to allow the Germans to rest,
despite the coming Of winter, with its
rains and mud.

German armies are prepared to retreat.
Since the beginning of the allied often
sive September &c the Germans have
used 14S divisions. of which sixty have
been engaged twice and five three times.
The German reserves are insufficient to
meet the disposition of the allied
troops. In preparation for the re-
treat the Germans are removing all
the heavy artillery back of the lines,
depending upon high velocity and
long-range projectiles to support the
infantry in the rearguard actions
The enemy is destroying all the
