BELGIAN COAST CLEAR
Great Sweeping Movement Is Com
mcnccd To Clear Germans from North
Belgium.

Hchce0 lO llclr GCrmanS from North
Belgium.
With the Allied Armies in France
and Belgium, Oct. 21.-Thc great battle
in Flanders and northern France
passed into its second phase today.
The first phase was completed when
the Lille salient was eliminated and
the Germans were driven out of west
crn Belgium, SO that the line all the
way from the frontier Of Holland to
the Disc canal is virtually a straight
one.
This having been accomplished, the
Bclgians, British and French in the
north started a sweeping movement
today pivoting on a point about cast
Of Courtrai. The object OF this ap-
pears to be the clearing of the en-
emy from his front in northern Bel
gium and at the same time to threaten
his extreme right flank. The kcy DO
$ition at the south is in tho region be-
low NalcncicnncS. At both places the
exhausted German divisions whose
ranks have had great holes chopped
into them by terrific blows, arc fight
ing with the greatest desperation.
The German commanders are sacriiic-
inE many men in their cndCayorS to
hold their ground but in both sections
the allied troops have smashed into
the enemy and made apprcciablc gains.
Scores Of additional villages have
been reclaimed and numerous prison
crs and large quantities of supplies
have been captured.
The Germans have their cannon
close to the roads and OH them, so that
when it becomes necessary to with
draw the guns, they can get them
away in a hurry. In their retreat, the
Germans have resortcd to every
known means to delay the bringing
up Of the artillery, but without effect.
AT the present time however, the AL
lies are not hampcred in the least for
the Germans were put to such hurried
flight that they had little time to take
their artillery and vast stores OF am
munition with them.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The official
text OF Gcrmany's latest note to Prcsi-
dent Wilson was received by cable
today at the Swiss legation. Fred
crick Ocdcrln, the Swiss charge. ar
ranged to deliver it TO Secretary Ian
sing as soon as it could be decodcd.
President Wilson is expected 10
act promptly on the new German
note, the Official text Of which prob
ably VIII be delivered today through
the SWISS legation. The unofficial
version, rs received Yesterday by
wireless from Germany, was discuss
ed by the president ana Secretary
Lansing for several hours last night,
but there has been no ntimatioa a.:
20 MIR. Wilson's attitude
If the president decides the note
calls for an answer, his reply is ex-
pccted to go forward within a few
days, Al most, while if no roply is 10
be sent, that fact probably viii be
made known promptly. The plCSj-
dent, diplomatic Observers say, is al
liberty With perfect consistency, TO
follow tho second course, awaiting
fullillmcnt Of the German promise
10 cease destroying passenger ships
and TO cause no moro destruction in
retiring from France and Belgium
than is required by military ncccs-
sity.
Although the first part Of the Ger
man note is regarded as an awkward
attempt to meet the conditions laid
down by President Wilson for con-
sidcratiOn Of an armistice, no one
here believed that an immediate ces-
sation Of hostlitics is in sight. Gen
orally the opinion is that the only
step possible at this time would be to
sanction with approval Of the allied
governments, arrangements 10 be
dictated by General Foch in the field
for the evacuation Of France and Bel
GUM. Any such arrangements nee
cssarily would safeguard the supre-
macy now held by the allied armies,
and an armisticc virtually would mean
surrender by the Germans.
The general tone of the note to-
gcthcr with the significant statement
that the offer Of peace and an ar
mSticc has come from a government
which is free from any arbitrary and
irresponsible influence Strengthens
the belief here that there is a gen
unc desire for peace. Like the hrsl
note, this one is regarded in some
quarters as another step in the Ger
man plan Of bargaining in the hope Of
securing terms more favorable than
thc unconditional surrender which
they are prepared 10 make finally ii
peace can come in no other way

INFLUENZA on DECREASE HERE.
Laurcns Mill now In Operation and
Schools May Open Next Week.

While the influenza epidemic
throughout the nation remains a very
serious menace conditions in this state
and this city are reported to be ma
tcrially improved. Camp Jackson is
reported almost free Of the disease and
the same may be said of many cities
and towns. The disease, however, is
spreading IN rural districts.
In the city Of I.aurens decided i'm
provcmcnt has been noted during the
past few days. Very few deaths have
been reported and new cases are on
the decrease. The Laurcns mill vii
lagc, where there were possibly a
hundred cases at one time, now hardly
has over twelve or fifteen.
On account OF the improved condi-
tons the board OF trustees OF the city
schools will probably ask for permis-
sion to open the schools next Monday
morning. If that is done no doubt the
churches, moving picture show and
gathering places will be thrown open
as before.
