Troubetzkoi, drinking tea after the most matter-of-fact fashion pos sible in New York drawing room.

with an urgent appeal to the country
to support the fourth Liberty Loan.
The present is no time to hang

Taking up the battle situation on
the west front, General March SAID
with the capture of LIE Cateau by the
British the allied forces were within
IA miles of the railway junction OF
Aulnoye which is vital strategical
point for the enemy. The Liege- Maui
beuge railway and the lateral road
through Sedan at which the American
army is striking on the Meuse, meet
each other at Aulnoye and these two
lines are the main arteries for German
supply and troop movements IN
France.
General March announced the Amer

Mihiel salient in the fight which pre-
pared the way for the present opera

CAPTURE THREE VILLAGES

WITH THE AMERICAN X NJ
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Thurs
day, Oct. 1O-American forces struck
the German lines just east of the Ar
gonne forest today. They captured
the villages of Sommerance, Chekleres
and Marco.
The ridge of Dame Marie was storm
ed after hard fighting. More than one
thousand prisoners were taken during
the Cay. These include one colonel
and two battalion staffs.
Fighting opened this morning with
the infantry sweeping through the
northern portion of the Argonne forest
for a maximum distance of nearly nVe
miles. Little opposition was encount-
cred from the enemy. who had prob
ably retired during the night to es-
cape from the untenable pocket form
ed by the American flanking move
ment on Monday
AS the Americans pushed forward,
they found that the Germans had made
a thorough job of blocking and de-
stroying the roads as they retired. Al
two O'Clock this afternoon they were
in Marcq and Chevieres, having taken
the LaFolie farm and the Richard
farm and advancing on the Negremont
wods, the only piece of forest land be-
tween them and Grand Pre-.
Half an hour later they had cap
tured Sommerance and had advanced
north of that village. By this attack
the Americans have taken firmer
grip on the territory just north of the
broken Kriemhild line.
Although there were detachments
of German machine gunnerS and In
fantry to be met, the Americans found
that the German artillery fire was very
light. They had little difficulty in ad-
vancing and found extensive use OF
their own artillery unnecessary.
Fires were caused by enemy shells
at Fleville and Chevieres.

to be in full fight. This, too Is the
case farther south, where the French
are marching virtually unimpeded in
the direction of Guise.
French Forces Advance.
The advance of the French near
La Fere and along the Aisne to the
south of Laon seems to be quite sig
nificant This part of the battle line
has the strongest natural positions to
be found anywhere along the front
The ST. Gobain forest is almost In
vulnerable, while the hills north OF
the Aisne, farther south, lend them
selves admirably to defensive opera
tions. East of Oeuilly, where the new
crossing of the Aisne has been made,
further ground has been gained north
of Berry-au-Bac.
In the Champagne and Argonne sec
tors, the Kriemhild line, built by the
Germans by long labor to be the ulti
mate defense of the region, appears
to be bro ken and the Americans and
French are storming through it or
each side of the Argonne forest.
In the event that the Germans are
trying to reach one of their lines neal
the Belgian frontier, this sector may
be the one where the strongest fight
ing may develop. An advance of ter
or fifteen miles along the Meuse would
bring the Americans and French neal
the principal railroad artery leading
from Germany into northern France
If this road can be cut, or ever
brought under artillery fire, the enemy
might be placed in critical situation
