FIGHTING HUNS
GIVE GROUND
ON BIG Front

great drive for the reoccupation BY
the allies of the Belgian coast. The
city of Client, an objective which
the allies have always had in mind
is yet seven miles away. Probably
it will be outAanked from the north
before it is taken. Allied troops al.
ready have made considerable prog.
ress with this end in view.
Having cleared the Germans Out
of western Belgium, the allied forces
are standing on a line from the
Dutch frontier to the Disc canal
| that is virtually straight. A new
movement has begun to the east OF
Courtrai, the object of which is to
free the northern section OF Bel
GUM from the enemy. French
troops have reached the Danube
river in the region of Vidin after
offensive operations in the eastern
theater of the war lasting more than
a month.
Manifesto Soon.
The economic independence of
Hungary is to be proclaimed at an
early date in a manifesto which IS
reported will be issued by Emperor
Charles. Hungary will be permitted
to maintain her own army and her
own diplomatic corps.
British Headquarters in France,
Oct. 2l.-(Reuter's. SIT is the gen.
eral impression that the resistance
of the enemy everywhere is stifen-
ing. Apparently the rapidity Of the
British drive in Flanders and north
ern France has caused the enemy to
realize that the allied forces are ap-
preaching the fatherland at a rate
that, if not checl.ed, might before
l. ng, find the long range guns pitch
ing shells across the Rhine. There
fore, the enemy is pulling himself
together with a view to delaying to
the utmost the allied advance.
Heavy Rain Falls.
In heavy fighting, which proceeded
throughout the night and continued
today in heavy rain, the Germans
everywhere were driven still further
eastward. In Belgium the allies are
three miles from Eecloo, and in the
whole vast stretch between Courtrai
and the Dutch border the British,
French. and Belgians are pushing the
Germans before them, closing in to-
ward Client, from which they are
now less than seven miles.
In the center of the battle area
the British are on the west bank of
the Scheldt for more than 10 miles,
north OF Journal, in front of which
city the Germans are resisting stub
bornly with machine guns. Frontally
the British have reached positions
less than four miles from Valen-
ciennes. Northwest OF Valenciennes
they have entered the great Vi
coigto-Raismes forest. In the re-
gion northwest of Lille, the British
are pushing out in the general direc-
ton of LeQuesnoy, fighting every
foot of the way.
The Germans here and there in
Belgium have held out strongly in
enormous concrete forts, ffom
which the Guns had been removed.
These forts were used by German
machine gunners and in some cases
it required shells from heavy guns
to crack them.
More prisoners have been cap
tured, the third army taking over
$500 yesterday.

BRUGES PEOPLE
Wild With JOY
AS LIBERATED
Only American Woman There

Were Fighting on
West Front.

London, Oct. 2l.-Scenes of hap.
piness in Bruges eclipsed those al
Lille after the liberation of the two
cities, according to the correspon.
dent of the Daily Mail. During
the occupation of Bruges by the
Germans the people there were not
allowed to receive news from the
outer world unless the news was
handled by the German officers.
The correspondent writes:
when the only American wo-
man left in Bruges was told of the
deeds of Americans in France she
cried with happiness: oh, if l had
only known that
Bruges was fined enormous sums
on various occasions, the corre-
spondeht says and everything made

The city was searched four times

that all the bridges are gone.

A-Roubaix and Turcoing today
celebrated their deliverance from
the enemy.
The people of the two cities were
Wild with emotional JOY. There
were kisses, hugs and handshakes
for every British soldier. There was
good reason for Roubaix and Tur-
Going to celebrate. The swash-
5uckling Germans had gone. leav-
ing in their wake as much ruin as
they could do. Nearly every home
In the city had been sacked and
things that could not be carried
away were destroyed,
Homes Are Wrecked.
Piuued at being forced to leave
the towns the Germans went to ex-
IRENE lengths to defile, destroy and
steal. Roubaix and Turcoing were
systematically burglarized. In Rou-
baix the Germans cut fine leather
seats from chairs. ripped pictures
from their frames, and even took
the cloth coverings of mattresses.
Apparently they went through the
fine old homes of the city with
the idea of seeing how thoroughly
they could wreck the interiors. In
many places they deliberately broke
everything they could lay their
hands on.
For miles around Roubaix and
Turcoing the countryside has been
singed and scorched by the red
heat of war. Broken cannon,
rusted rifles, pieces of she'll, barbed
wire and the bayonets and other
equipment of soldiers are scattered
all about. There are miles of man
gled fields where the she'll craters
are so thick that it is impossible
to tell where one begins and the
other leaves off. Here and there
arc old machine gun mounds of
stone, concrete and dirt. The trees
are leafless and many have been
chewed to pieces by flying shells
and bullets.
