With the Anglo-American
Armies Near St. Quentin, Oct
9.-(By The Associated Press
There is great confusion within
the enemy lines. On the front OF
the two British armies engaged
elements from no fewer than %
enemy divisions have been iden-
tilted along the 20-mile fighting
line. Such concentration of
troops seems almost incredible
until it is realized that some OF
these divisions have been en-
gagged almost continuously since
August 8, and many are mere
shadows of the old organiza-
tons.

Great Confusion Within
Battle Line otEnemy

The ground over which the
great battle is being fought, is
covered with dead men and
horses.
Many Germans are buried
under tons OF earth in collapsed
,dugouts. Only a few OF the pris-
oners captured had heard of
the Austro-German plea for an
armistice. and their ideas on the
subject were extremely hazy.
From all sources, it is learned
for a virtual certainty that no
formidable wire barriers are
ahead of the British and Amer
leans, until the Valenciennes
line is reached, and after that
the line of the Meuse river.

is now permissible to state that it
was the Second American division
which bore the brunt Of the recent
hard fighting in the Champagne.
This division took ST. Etienne and
the positions leading to that town
and thus created the slight salient
now projecting into the German line.
The Second division consists OF the
Fifth and Sixth regiments of marines,
the Ninth and Twenty-third infantry
and the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and

London, Oct. o. (By The Asso-
ciated Press) G:l5 p. m.)-The
British advance along the battle
front between Cambria and St,
Quentin is proceeding very well to-
day all along the line. There is not
so much resistance by the Germans
as there was yesterday. This prob
ably is due to the Germans having
retired during the night.
In the American sector OF this
front, the Germans are resisting very
strongly The American losses,
however, have not been heavy. The
total American casualties is less than
half the number OF Germans taken
prisoner.
London, oct. Q q p. mD-(By

troops today are counter-attacking
very heavily on the Suippe river

French have not been able to make

Hitchcock, Mr.. Kyle's immediate
chief. Both of the last named were

No little credit is due also to the
activity of the Catholic mission, rep
resentatives of which acted as inter-
medaries between the authorities and
the bandits. 1t is said to have been
largely through assurances given by
lpriests of that mission that the bri-
gand were brought to accept guar
antee offered by General Chang Shen
and to surrender their captive.
