BRITISH ARE SIX
 MILES FROM LILLE
ENEMY SETTING FIRE TO TOWNS ALONG FLANDERS COAST
 MERICOURT HAS FALLEN.

London. - The retreat of the Ger mans in the region between Armen- tieres and Lens has reoched a depth of six miles. The enemy still is retir- ing slowly. The allies are now with in six miles of Lille. Mericourt, southeast of Lens, has been captured by Haig's men.
 There is every indication, accord ing to authoritative naval sources, of an early abandonment by the Ger mans of the entire Flanders coast. The Germans already are removing their guns The Belgian coast has been under heavy bombardment for the past two days.
 The country behind the German lines in Flanders is ablaze virtually everywhere. From prisoners comes the information that the Germans are making hurried preparations to eyae- uate the dune country of Belgium along the seacoast. Dugouts are being blown up there.
 British troops made progress in the neighborhood of Fresnoy-le-Grand, northeast of St. Quentin, though only meager reports of the fighting in that district have been received.
 British and French forces continue to advance. They reached the out sirts of Montbrehain after severe fighting.
 British forces broke through the en- in the neighborhood of Fresnoy. As soon as the break had been made cav airy forces swept through, being fol lowed closely by -whippet" tanks and armored cars.
 According to reports which are con- sidered reliable the village of Fres- noy itself was taken soon afterward.
 Allied airplanes which have been flying low over the country in the rear of the Hindenburg line report that there are only one or two thinly held and hurriedly built lines in front of the advancing British.
 This is perfect cavalry country, and with this force free behind the enc my's lines the entire German posi- tions north and south of St. Quentin are grayely menaced.
 After cavalry and tanks had dashed into the open country behind the Hin denburg line, infantry and masses of machine gunners poured through the break This force is taking positions and the Germans who have held their lines in the defensive system are in danger of being cut off.
 The enemy appears to be in full flight north of the break in the line. Allied patrols have penetrated furtber into Cambrai, from which the Ger mans seem to be withdrawing.
