PARIS, Oct. 9.-Q0:50 a. m.)-The
allies are still smashing forward be-
tween st. Quentin and Cambria.
The British and French are at the
gates of Bohain eleven miles north
east of st. Quentin). The Americans
are less than four kilometers (two
and a half miles) from Gusigny (three
miles and half north Of Bohain).
In the Champagne, Franco-Ameri-
can divisinos are menacing Mechault
(twenty miles northeast of Rheims).
The French, operating in liason
with the American left wing, are
pressing northward in the Argonne
forest, which the enemy is hastily
evacuating.
Two entire divisions have been de-
stroyed in the fighting along the
Suippe river. On the right bank of
the Aisne, French and Americans are
progressing toward Lancon (seven
miles southwest of Monthois).
Further to the northeast the Amer
leans along the Aire river are rem
dering the enemy's hold on the
Grandpre pass untenable.

NEW YORK, Oct. General Per
shing is widening his front north of
Nerdun in an effort to advance to-
ward the Luxemburg border with an
increasing impetus. The Americans
have heightened their operations to
the east Of the Meuse and by doing
so are now able to bring up more
troops and to concentrate a greater
force against the Germans in the
Argonne forest. Up to the present
time, the Meuse river has been
consistent menace to General Per
shing's right wing, as the Argonne Is
a danger to his left.
The twelve miles of frontage be-
tween these barriers has compelled
the utmost care In the deposition

The Germans on the east bank of
the Meuse are now being driven
backward for perhaps one-half the
depth of the American front north
of Verdun. The Mouse, therefore,
is at least in part an American pos
session instead of a German barrier
The continuation of the pressure on
