with the Allied Armies in Bel
nium, Sunday, Oct. 2o.--Before leav-
hng 0stend the Germans scuttled a
darge mail boat alongside the old
British warship Vindictive, which
was sunk in the channel there last
May. They thus made doubly sure
that the channel would be blocked
for a long time.
Inspection of the city shows that
British shells did terrific damage to
enemy military and naval establish
nnents, but did not harm the resi-
dental or business section to any ex-
tent. The only money to be found
in ostend and other liberated Bel
gian cities is German. Many Of the
gmaller children especially in Ostend
use German as their own language.
THE enemy apparently went out OF
mis- way to teach his tongue to the
children.

Cross The L.ys Canal.

London, Oct. 81. - The French
troops on the allied center in Belgium
have gained a bridgehead across the
=, ,I4ys canal at Nevele, seven miles west
OF Ghent.
The French also have gained a
bridgehead over the Dys river at
Petegem, north of Grammene.
There is no confirmation of a report
from Dutch sources that the allied
troops have captured Eecloo and sew
eral thousand prisoners. This is be-
lieved to be extremely improbable as
is also the report that the fate OF
Ghent has been sealed.
South of the Scheldt the British
have Strengthened the line between
Denain and LIE Sateau and are with
in three or four miles Of the Nalcen-
mics railroad line.
The allies, also have straig htened
out their line between the Oise and
the SeTre and the French are sngaged
in heavy fighting in the strongly sor-
titled Funding line.

encountered stiff opposition in places
when it resumed its attack Sunday.
When the fighting lulled last even-
ing the British had driven a big
salient into sthe German front from
st. Louis to Belleghem to as far as
the vicinity Of Knock and to a, depth
of about I'VE miles. This morning the
British line ran from Waaisonek
along the BeIIeghem salient and
thence past Warcoing and BaiIleuI to
the west of Journal.
To the north the Belgian and
French troops had an excellent day
of sustained progress. Here and
there the Germans were pressed into
tight places and are fighting vigor-
ously to extricate themselves.
The town of Sweveghen, three
miles east Of Courtrai was penetrat-
ed by soldiers Of the second army
only after a hard conflict. The Ger
man artillery kept up a harassing
and enfilading fire from the north.
The French got across the Lys riv-
er at Oghem and advanced toward
Waereghem. They also established

On the British right General De-

marching toward Hirson for the pur-
pose of taking the Hunding line in
the rear.
At the same time Generals Mangin
and Guillaumat between the Serre

There was no infantry fighting of

LIBERTY LOAN is
OVER THE TOP BY
SEVERALHUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS

Washington, Oct. 21.-Estimates
and figures showing the success OF
the Fourth Liberty loan poured into
the treasury today indicating that
there were about 25 million sub
scribers and that the six billion dol
lars was passed by several hundred
millions. ~
All orders for coupon bonds are
being filled Immediately and plenty
fast as acquisitions of them accom-
panied by the necessary information
containing the individual owners
reach the treasury. ~-..E
Thirteen clerks were at work to-
day examining, counting and ship
ping bonds as fast as they can from
the buAeau of engraving and print
eng. They were received in huge
bundles, carefully wrapped and
sealed. and went out to federal re-
serve banks in much the same form.
Although the exact number of
bonds sold will not be known for
many weeks. officials estimate that
it is more than thirty million. In
the third loan slighuy less than 25,-
100000 were bought.
Reports from all of the reserve dis
tricts early in the day show the hon
or roll of subscribers bears 22,000,-
600 names as. a minimum and prob
ably will be found to have several
million more. I.s
Owing to influenza, peace talk and
the fact that many participants, in
the third loan are now in the army,
the number of subscribers in the
Boston. Philadelphia, and possibly
some other districts probably is no
greater than in the preceding loan
ut is apparent however. that at
least 20. per cent of the population
OF the United States bought bonds
a record eqna1ing and probably ex-
ceeding the record of the British
victory loan of 1917 which had o.
100000 subscribers. The SIS, 600, ,00O,-
600 subscribed to that loan is ex-
ceeded by more than billion doll
lars. Thus all records. both for size
and distribution of war loans. are
broken by the Fourth Liberty loan.
The first Liberty Loan had about
$500, 900 subscribers, or per cent
of the population. the second had
about $500, geo, or 9 per- cent. The
third had 1S,300,0 900, or opproxi-
n1ately 17.7 per cent.
Chicago Over Top.
Chicago, Oct. 21.-The seventh fed
eral reserve district oversubscribed
its allotment Of s870,0O0,0p0 Of the
fourth Liberty loan by more than
$4,000, 600 according TO unofficial
figures given out today at headquar
ters here. 1t was said that several
days would be required in tabulating
the returns. The standing of the dis
trict based on unofficials returns fol-

their way forward on the south to-
ward the Belgian border south Of
Valenciennes. Sunday the allied
troops had to fight the elements as
well as the Germans. Rain fell con-
tinuously and the soldiers were
soaked and partly blinded while air
planes were OF little use.
With spirits undampened, how
eyer, the allied troops continued their
efforts and in Flanders they worked
nearer to the important city Of Ghent
and are approaching close to the
west bank Of the Scheldt.
On the right of the front in Bel

Furter south the British third army

General Rawlinson's fourth army has

Of the Normal forest up the valley
Of the Sambre toward Maubeuge. The
net result Of the efforts of the fourth

the privot on which the Germans

badly shaken. The British also cap
tured a dozen villages.
