BY the Associated Press.

With the Allied Armies in Flanders,
Oct. l5.-(10:30 a. m.)-Brittsh. Bel
gian and French forces attacked at
dawn this morning q wide front in
Flanders. The allied troops are driv-
ing in the general direction OF Client
and Courtrai.
The attack seems to be generally
from Combines to the northward. The
troops Of three nations went over the
top after a crash" sbombardment only.
There was 40 preliminary bQmb4rd-
ment. 1t undoubtedly tacticafty sur
prised the enemy. I'm the British for
nations were some of Great Brltain's
best troops, and the forces OF the
French were of the famous fighting
organizations. The Germans appear
prepared TO retire 10 the Client line.
BY the fury with which the attack
was launched 1T is evident that the
sllght..t attention to the O talk.
They smashed forward with all the
dash characterizing the recent opera
tions. The blow in Flanders may prove
TO be Marshal Foch's master stroke.
Ii tee allied progress In continued the
Germans throughout q wide stretch OF
territory, taking in the most important
part of the Belgian coast. Including
possibly the Hfmportant German sub
bmarine bases as wen rs the forces in
the entire Lille salient, either will have
to get out or'face q second Sedan.
Every foot Of ground gained here al
so deepens the Lille salient and sue
cess means that the enemy will be oh
liged to evacuate the region to the
south as well as to north of the front
attacked. The attack would have been
launched before now had the ground
been ready.

London. Oct. 1.-THE last great
German stronghold in France is In iha
hands Of the allies.
The St. Gobain massif. which formsd
the cornerstone Of the enemy's defen-
sive system-the most powerful the
world has even known, was wrcsted
from the invaders Saturday and yes

tending from the region OF Cambria
to Verdun, is h u crumbling for it's
entire length and the Germans are
staggering back toward the impossible
Ardennes mountains.
To the north there still remains the
so called Valenciennes lines. 1t is still
practically untested by allied blows,
but its hasty construction cannot have
rendered 1t comparable with the Hin
denburg system, which vas four years

Occupation of Nish by Serbian
troops is officially admitted by both
Germany and Austria. The Serbs are
advancing northeastward and west

The Austrians, ~evacuating Albania,

are now being harassed by formidable
bands of Montenegrin irregulars in the
