In fierce lighting the British con-
tinue to beat back the Germans from
the high ground between Nalcn-
cienneS and lie Quesnoy, further in
creasing the menace to the German
hold on both these important points.
In Belgium and north OF Nalen-
ciennes the allies maintain their
pressure, but the operations are OF
minor Importance, as the situation
on the north depends upon the Brit
ish success around Nalenciennes.
East OF lie Cateau the British are
before the Normal forest, while
south along the Disc and the Serre,
the French are pressing hard against
the Germans. Since Wednesday
morning the British armies fighting
forward from a few miles north of
Nalencienncs to east of lie Cateau
have taken S,400 prisoners and 100

Haig in Flanking Movement

Field Marshal Haig, his troops
having reached the western edge OF
the Normal forest, apparently is
striving to outflank that natural
barrier on the north by advancing
through LeQueSnoy toward Mons
and Maubeuge. The Germans are
fighting stiffly to prevent this, re-
suIting in desperate combatS in the
villages and other vantage points
south of Nalenciennes. The Brit
ish. however. are pushing steadily
ahead and have taken Maing and
Nendegnies.
Fighting was resumed on this sec
tor Friday morning with the Brit
ish advancing from the hills east OF
the Ecaillon river toward the rail
road and high road between Nalen-
cienneS and lie Quesnoy.
Immediately north of Nalencien-
nes. the British have taken addition
al villages and containue to approach
the important crossing of the
Scheldt at Conde. This town is six
and one-half miles northeast of Val
encienneS.

With The Allied Armies in France
and Belgium, Oct. 25 (+:30 a. M
(By The Associated Press s)-Fight-
ing which compared in fierceness to
almost any in the war continued al
most all night on the field of the
great battle north and south of Val
enciennes. Latest reports indicate
that the British have entered the
German defenses. gaining consider
able ground and pressing eastward
slowly but surely.
On the high ground south of Val
enciennes. the battle is raging with
intense fury, but the British are
gradually overcoming the enemy.
At last reports, the British held
this line.
From lie Faux to Robersart to
Englefontaine to Ghissignies to
Beasdignies, they are within mile
and a half of lie Quesnoy, to the
east of Ruesnes to Sommaing to
Monchaux. The British gained Mon
chaux after bloody fighting.
Foe Is Killed by Thousands
The British line is now within one
mile of Landrecies. Desperate fight
ing is reported in the Bois L'Eveque
and the neighborhood, where the
Germans we're killed by the thou
sands. 1t appeared that the enemy
had orders to hold on regardless OF
the cost. The Germans apparently
were disposed in great depth and
had several hastily constructed lines
of defense which they were deter
mined to retain until defenseS far
ther eastward had been prepared so
that German armies to the north and
south could escape.
The enemy has been supported by
artillery all along the
front. To the north, the British by
hard fighting established posts be-
tween the river and the canal east
of Escautpont. North of Fresnes
some progress was made toward
Conde against heavy and vigorous
machine gun operations. Pruille. lie
long, Beehot and Buridon were
after strong opposition had
broken down.

CHAPTER XIV.
The unheeded Warning.

On the evening Of the same day
London was stirred by a sensation
which eclipsed even the interest In the
progress Of the war. The evening
newspapers contained. in full, Donald's
narration Of the approaching ruin Of
the world.
The second sea lord, receiving Don
AIDS name, came to the conclusion that
matters Of the most pressing moment
must have brought the unknown young
American naval officer. he rose from
his desk and shook hands with him
cordially. "Sit down, Mr.. Paget," he
said warmly. Then he noticed that
Donald was dressed in a nondescript
diving suit and that his looks were de-
cidedly wild.
Donald sat down and plunged In
stantly into the story Of the world
danger. It did not lose Its dramatic
interest in the manner Of Its telling.
You must stop the war at once"
Donald ended. unite all nations Of
the earth, for that Is the only way to
save the human race. It Is a matter
Of hours, perhaps. Even now these
monsters may be speeding southwark"
The second sea lord had been unable
to interpose a word by reAson Of the
torrent Of impassioned speech that
poured from Donald's lips. At first he
listened in amazement at what he con-
sidered an impudent hoax; then in
anger: then, after a brief glance at
Donalds face. with absolute passivity.
II thank you. Mr.. Paget," he said,
rising. when Donald had ended. you
have done notable work, and England
will not forget 1t. And now. sir, you
must be conducted to the prime min
lister at once, that you may apprise
him Of these startling events"
He touched his bell, and his secre-
tary, a dapper, alert little man, at once
appeared. "Excuse me one moment,
please" said the second sea lord to
Donald.
He whispered with the secretary,
whom Donald perceived to glance
toward him In rather apprehensive
manner. The secretary came forward,
making q preposterously low bow.
II will conduct you to the prime min
lister at once, Mr.. Paget." he said. mo
time must te lost. I am going to have
q taxicab called"
Donald addressed the second sea
lord again.
II understand" he said. controlling
himself with an effort of will. "very
well, my lord. I shall say no more at
this time. On you will rest the respon.
dbility. And you will repent tails Bit
tosiy within day or two"
Ard - walked quietly out Of ths
