Force Huns Into Open

With the American Army on the Aisne- Marne Front, July 20-The French and American troops have crowded the Germans back still fur ther along the Soissons-Chateau- Thierry road and information from beyond Chateau Thierry is that a move is being begun by the Germans that may develop into an effort by the crown prince to extricate his army.
 The character of the fighting has been radically altered, indicating that the Germans have been forced more into the open. The trenches run in such a manner as to leave none into which they may fall back forcing them to depend upon those they hast ily construct. There has been a marked decrease in German aerial -ac- tivity and the big guns are less act i've.
 The greater part of the German air planes appear to be used in patroll- ing their own lines.

CAIN ON SCHELDT
Most Important Event of the
Entire Week.
From Scheldt to Sambre- Disc
s Canal Advance.

Lonrdon. Nov. (by British admir-
atty wireless) A military corre-
spondent of the British wireless serv-
Ice writes regarding the past weeks
activities on the western front:
The most important feature of the
post weeks operations has been the
progress made by the British between
the Scheldt and the Sambre- Disc ca
nal, which is gradually turning the
line or the Scheldt and already has
compelled the enemy to evacuate the
angle between the Disc and the Serre.
On this latter front, the French
have been making considerable prog
ress and still farther east they have
established themselves on the north
ern bank of the Souche as well as on
the front between the Souche and the
Alsne. No more important progress
mas been made in Flanders, aItho some
1urther ground has been gained east
Of the Lys.
The most immediate threat to the
enemy Is the progress OF the British
between the Scheldt and the Oise-
Sambre canal, for several reasons. In
the first place there are fewer natural
obstacles on the front and no preyious-
~ prepared positions exist, whereas
tne enemy possess further east along
the lines of the Serre and the Aisne
very strong defensive positions in the
nature of high ridges and fairly wide
rivers present great natural facilities
for defense"

of approximately $4,000 100000 or
