Paris, Oct 21.-Allied forces while
pushing further to central Belgium
on the north, are fighting their way
forward on the south toward the Bel

day the Allied troops had to fight the
elements as we'll as the Germans.
Rain fell continually and the sol

their efforts and in Flanders they

Further south the British Third

The British also captured dozen
or so villages. On the British right,
General Debeny is outflanking Guise

purpose of taking the Hunding line in
the rear. At the same time Mangin
and Fuillaumat are between the Serre
and the Aisne and north of Sissomne
attacking the front of the Hunding
line
Finally Gouraud an dthe Americans
are fighting in the most difficult coun-
try against determined strong resis-
lance. They are making slow but solid
progress and pushing the enemy to-
ward the southern Ardennes, and up
both banks of the MueZe.
