British Headquarters in Flanders,
Oct 1S.-British drums were heating
through the streets Of Lille while the
British patrols advanced east of the
city in contact with the retreatn@
Germans.
The evacuation of Lille and tn"
British entry into the city was one of
the most dramatic events of the war
At four o'clock in the morning the
German commandment ordered all the
Inhabitants to assemble. As they hur-
ried through the gloom of the streets
they saw the garrison marching out.
They were told to go to the British
lines and meet their friends. Then
came the rhythmic tramp of infantry
which gradually died away. The Ger
mans had departed from the city.
At dawn a British airman flying
over the city beheld an amazing sight
The streets were thronged with civil
ians frantically waving handkerchefS
and shawls Not a soldier could be
seen. The aviator carried the news
back to the British lines. Patrols ad-
vanced Immediately and entered the
city.

The Cologne Volks Zeitung takes the
same stand 1t says a cessation of
Germany's U-boat warfare cannot be
demanded before an armistice is CON
GUIDED, and adds:
The Germans must lower their
hopes of a near peace of justice with

to mark an advance on the path of

forces was accomplished under terrific
N@rdShirS and with herOiSm not Aint-
cd ut in the brief official announce
ment of the taking of this stronghold
of the Germans north of the Argonne.
The Americans took the town pri-
mariIy by outwitting the enemy, by
attacking without artillery prepara-
ton. which the Germans had expect
"d by wadin@ the river Atre at four
points instead of building bridges, by
struggling through almost impossible
mud step by step until suddenly on
OPP of the amazed Germans and by
driving them into a retreat after hand
.n-hand fighting.
The Americans had moved to a
'.,'nt within short distance of
.;randDrp and the Germans had de-
.-ruypd the bridges over the shallow
Airc rs they retreated. The enemy
#hHiou~ly expected an artillery fire to
preface any further attack, for his
surprise was unfeigned when the
Americans smashed into his positions.
The American attack began at six
o'clock in the morning. The men
moved forward in the shelter of the
forest. reaching the .Aire at four points
agreed upon where the stream could
he fOrded.
Without attracting the attention of
the Germans, the Americans then
waded into the cold water, which
reached to their waists and even
higher, and pushed across the stream.
On the northern bank they found
broad mud flats into which they sank
haIf way to their knees. The Ger
mans by this time had discovered
heir approach and opened a bitter
machine gun fire, but the Americans
pushed steadily on.
At eleven o'clock the Americans had
completely overcome the enemy, had
driven him into the woods north of
Grandpre and were in possession of
the important railroad.
