BATTLEsHIP MINNESOTA
 STRUCK MINE YESTERDAY

Washington, Sept 29-The battle ship Minnesota struck a mine early today off the Delaware Breakwater There were no casualties and the ship is proceeding to port under her own power.
 The navy department tonight issued this statement:
 The navy department is informed that the battleship Minnesota struck a mine early this morning off the Del aware Breakwater There were no casualties. according to reports reach lng the department, and the Minne- Sota is proceeding to port under her own power"
 There was no indication as to the extent of the damage to the battleship nor whether the mine was an enemy one. However naval officers recalled that mines were land in these waters by the submarines which carried out the first raids of the Atlantic coast last May and June and that the oil tank steamer Herbert l.. Pratt was sunk by striking one of them.
 The fact that the Minnesota was able to reach port without assistance was accepted as indicating that the mine struck the ship near the bow and that she was not badly damaged.
 The Minnesota is of the pre-dread- nought type. built at Newport News Va. in 1905. She is of 16.O00 tons displacement, 450 feet long and in nor aial times carried a complement of ssJ officers and men. Her armament consists of four 13-inch. eight S-inch and a number of smaller rifles.

FORWARDING
 THE FORTRESS OF METZ

Amsterdam, Sept 29-The Ameri- can bombardment of the fortress of Metz is getting on the nerves of the German people This is emphasized by a correspondent of the Rhenish Westphalian Gazette of Essen, who visited Metz on Thursday.
 When the bombardment of the fort ress area started the inhabitants of the city believed an air raid was in prog ress and took to their cellars. When the truth became known, many per sons left the city but most of them now have returned.
 Between September p and Septem- Der 26, the correspondent says forty shells fell in the outskirts of the city. (where thee forts are located), killing a few persons and doing damage to property.
 Other correspondents attempt to ap- pease the anxiety of the Germans by pointing out that Metz is fortified strongly with all the latest devices.

on the doorstep of Cambrai More than 16,000 prisoners have been taken in this region since Friday.
 Under the efforts of the British, Americans and French, the Germans have been cleared out of the entire department of the Somme, and part of the department of the Ardennes now is in French hands for the first time since 1914.
 In unison with the attacks to the north the French along the battle front north and northeast of Soissons have delivered fresh attacks, under which the Germans are in retreat north of the Aisne toward Ailette, indicating that the enemy line soon must be re- adjusted eastward at least as, far as Rheims, if not farther. The French now are on the banks of the Ailette river at the western end of the Chemin des Danes, making it apparent that this strong defense line soon must be passed by in retreat northward
 In Champagne and northwest of Verdun the Germans have sensed to the full the seriousness of the situa- tion facing them-whereby advances by the French and, the Americans of necessity will compel the readjustment of the line from the north to the Swiss frontier. Large numbers of rein forCements have been thrown into the battle in Champagne to halt the ad- vance of the French toward the i'm portant junction town of Vouziers, but nevertheless General Gouraud's men have pressed forward northward from the region east of Rheims to the northern fringes of the Argonne forest, taking many positions of the highest strategic value
 Meantime the Americans also have advanced their front, capturing Brieulles sur Mouse and Romagne and at last accounts were progressing favorably northward along the Mouse valley and to the east of the Argonne forest, the turning of which by the combined forces of General Gouraud | and General Liggett seems probable within a short time.

 PROVE MASTERS OF AIR

 The German airmen appeared to have lost the daring which had char acterized their work of the previous days and did not venture across the American line with reconnaissance airplanes after they had been attack ed once by the American machines. The German balloons were hastily lowered in the face of an American attack and did not appear again dur ing the day.
 One Of the American pursuit groups engaged in 23 combats at low attitudes and brought down three enemy ma chimes. Another pursuit wing had IT battles in two sorties along the line. A third group dropped bombs on Ro- magne and Cunel and engaged in sev- eral battles with German machines, bringing down six of them.

The fighting on the American front has developed into two major opera tions. for the island-like region be- tween the Aisne and the Mouse.

This extends along the southern edge of the Boult Forest eastward along line to the north of

(By The Associated Press.)

American troops, boys from New York. Tennessee and North and South Carolina, were in the thick of the fray Sunday which badly smashed the German positions over a front of more than, fifty miles, from the region of Arras to La Fere.
 On a three-mile front the Ameri- cans stormed the Hindenburg. line and captured the towns of Bellicourt and Nauroy, crossing the Cambrai canal in the operations.
 Meanwhile, to the south the British stormed the main Hindenburg defenses on the Scheldt canal, crossed the waterway and gained the hills beyond, taking many prisoners. To the north the British have their hands on Cam brai. the important German base over which recently there has been so much fighting The Canadians are in the northwestern outskirts of the city, while a naval division has reached the southern environs.
 South of St. Quentin to La Fere the French have pressed forward their line and taken some 500 prisoners. Along the Chemin des Danes the French have advanced their line for a dis tance of two miles, capturing the highest point on the famous ridge.
 In Belgium the Belgians and British have driven forward and taken Dix nude, ten miles from the North sea, southeast Of Newport, bringing their line into closer union with that in the region of Ypres. The capture Of Dix nude if it is pressed for further gains eastward will seriously affect the Ger man. submarine bases on the North sea
 Additional large numbers of the enemy have been made prisoner and large quantities of stores have been captured
 Keeping up relentlessly their vio- lent attacks from near the sea in Belgium to the region of Verdun, the Beigian, British, American and French troops are fast driving wedges into the enemy line. forcing him to retreat or defeating him in sanguinary bat ties. No rest is being accorded the Germans. and apparently their front is fast going to pieces under the inn petus of the allied blows.
 In Belgium, between Dixmude and fpres, King Albert's men have pressed back the German front from four to five miles and taken 5000 prisoners. Ground that the enemy had held since the invasion of Belgium in 1914 has been restored to Belgian ownership through the efforts of the mixed Bel gian and British force and at last ac- rounts the allied forces were well on their way to the important junction town of Roulefs.
 To the south. from the region east of Arras to St Quentin. the British, with the Americans fighting on their right, everywhere have penetrated the German defenses over the thirty five mile front. Desperate resistance was offered by the Germans, but the allied troops refused to be denied and swept through the remaining portions of the Hindenburg line and are standing, ac- cording to the latest reports, virtually
