SMITH LEADS IN . ':''' YORK

Democratic Candidate For Governor
Ahead of Whitn7a1 l." - 49,
New York, Nov. with IJ6 dis
trictS missing, Smith, Democrat, is
leading Whitman, Republican, for gov
crnor, by 1920.
The vote for Smith is 9S1, ,231 and
Whitman, 96S,9 800
If the result of the election depends
upon the soldier vote, as now seems
probable, it will not be known until
after December 10.
The soldiers from New York state
whose vote may decide the contest
for governor are those who are sta
toned in national cantonments and
officers training in the United States.
Although it is estimated that more
than 225000 New York citizens are
in military or naval service, only Il
comparatively small number-probabIy
less than 40000-had an opportunity
to cast their ballots, as the war de-
partment officials declined to permit
state commission to take the votes of
the Empire state men who are in serv-
ice overseas.

" table enemy defense
line on which the Germans planned to
make a stand, was smashed by the
Americans late Tuesday when they
captured the town Of Letanne, in the
bend Of the Meuse south of A1ouzon.
From Letanne the line extends along
the Meuse through Pouilly and Inor
and eastward.
This line was part of the new de-
fenses along the Meuse from Stenay
northward TO Sedan. An elaborate
trench system recently had been COM
pleted, along with numerous wire en-
tanglements, concrete dugoutS and
miles Of concrete empla cements for
heavy machine guns. In some places
the emplacements were only fifteen
yards apart
American aviatorS reported the
highway from Stenay northward to
Oilzy-sur-Chiers is blocked every few
yards by trees across the road The
destruction begins just beyond Stenay
and extends northeast and north from
one to three miles.
AS an indication of the plight of the
retreating Germans, it is known that
on the entire western front the enemy
has in reserve only one division which
has been out of the battle one month
and four divisions which have been
resting from two to four weeks. Two
OF the divisions are east Of the Meuse.

FOE 2ESISTS DESPERATELY
German Line on the Meuse Has Been
Turned by General Pershing's

With the American Forces on the
Sedan Front Nov. 1.-American troops
were fighting within sight of Sedan,
famous for The great battle fought in
the Franco-German war. i'll 1870.
From the hills in the region of Che
merry and Maisoncolie, where the
Americans. according to last accounts,
were advancing. despite stubborn re-
sistance, the buildings of Sedan are in
plain view They are only about six
miles distant The retreat of the Ger
mans continued on wide front. The
Huns held at only one point, Bethl,
where they maintained Il hcidgehead
to protect their retirement towards
MeZiereS. They are being PRESSED
back on that front by the French.
Developments in the last forty-eight
hours seem To have made it impossible
for the Germans to use the line of the
Meuse. except for temporary resist
ance here and there, to ease their re-
trat to another position. With the
Meuse turned by General PerShing's
forces the only solid line of resistance
upon which the Germans can fall back
is the Rhine.
(When they reached Chemery the
troops of the American first army had
advanced slightly more than twenty
seven miles since the offensive east
of the Meuse began on September
26)
German resistance against American
pressure west of the MeuSe Stiffened
considerably. The Germans are using
artillery, gas and machine guns. (The
enemy has blocked the roads with
tree trunks three miles north of Ste
nay on the east bank of the Meuse.)
On the west bank Of the MeuSe the
Germans have been driven entirely
from the Bois de Hospice, two miles
north Of Beaumont.
Along the heights of the MeuSe in
the region of Sassy and between NIL
ly and Dun the americans made
progress despite heavy machine gun
and artillery resistance on the part
of the Germans.
The Germans continue their rear
