In heavy fighting, which proceeded
throughout the night and continued to-
day in a heavy rain, the Germans
everywhere were driven still further
eastward In Belgium the Allies are
three miles from Eec1oo, and in the
whole vast stretch between Courtrai
and the Dutch border the British,
French and Belgisns are pushing the
Germans before them, closing in to-
ward Client, from which they are now
less than seven miles.
On West Bank of Scheldt.
In the center of the battle area the
British are on the west bank OF the
Scheldt for more than ten miles,
north of Journal, in front Of which
city the Germans are resisting stub
born1y with machine guns. Northwest
of Valenciennes they have entered
the great Vicoigne-Raismes Forest. In
the region northwest of Lille the Brit

Enemy Resistance StiffenS.
British Headquarters in France, Oct.
22-It is the general impression that
the resistance of the enemy every
where is stiffening. Apparently the
rapidly of the British drive in Elan
ders and Northern France has caused
the enemy to realize that the Allied
forces are approaching the fatherland
at a rate which, If not checked, might
before long find their long range guns
pitching shells across the Rhine.
Therefore the enemy is pulling him
self together with a view to delaying
to the utmost the Allied advance.
Flanders Cleared.
Washington, Oct. 21.-Victory crowns
the Allied arms on every battle front.
Northern Belgium is being rapidly
cleared Of the enemy by British and
Belgian forces. Belgians have occu-
pied Zeebrugge and Heyst; have
crossed the Ghent-Bruges canal and
on their left have reached the Dutch
frontier, where $4,000 Germans, cut
off from their retreat by the advance
northward from Eecloo, are reported
to have withdrawn into Holland,
where they were interned.
Client, it is predicted from British
headquarters, will fall at an early
date, and the French, by swift stroke
along an extended line, have put their
forces within two miles OF Journal.
Thielt is in the hands of the French,
despite stubborn enemy resistance, as
well as the high ground round about.
British troops have crossed the Selle
river, have conquered Solesmes. and
have had hard fighting not only In
the section around that town but at
ST. Python, to the east. Here the Brit
ish have captured more than 1000
prisoners.

the two strongest sentiments that i'll
fluence mankind. 1t is this sentiment
that impels the German peasant 10

battle fields. 1t is this sentiment that
led so many Americans cf German
extraction to sympathize with a gov
eminent that holds its mon as mere
pawns to be sacrificed, that the kaiser
and his handful of princes may hold
their power.
If a German peasant dares - sls
gest that the powers of the kaiser be
limited and his own enlarged, he is
accused of treason to the father
land" If the German populace pro-
test against anneying the territory of
neighboring nations by force, it is ST.
fenced by the refrain of paid patriots:
Dear Fatherland. no danger thine,
Firm stand they m to guard the
Rhine"
This sentiment. and the false phil
osophy of paternalism, which is that
the state shall be enriched by rob
bling the laborer of his hire, in order
that the state may dole out a pittance
to the laborer in his days of dire need,
has served to tacloud the dull minds
of the German masses to the state of
bondage which is theirs.
This love of fatherland is a natural
sentiment, and if it has moved Ger
mans everywhere to %sympathtize with
a government that denies freedom and
equality and equal voting power to her
subjects, how much more it should
move Americans to sympathy for their
fatherland, where freedom and equali.
ty and individual liberty are enjoyed
in the fullest sense.

the same as they were in the days of
Caesar. The concentration of superior
forces at the most important point is
the all essential thing-provided al
ways that the quality of these forces
is at least as good as those opposing
them.
1t being true that numbers count,
it is of tremendous Importance that
American troops concentrate in
France. Germany understands the
value of numbers and this explains
her terrific drive at this time. She
hopes to strike a decisive blow before
large numbers of American troops are
available.
Meanwhile, every American should
