WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press)

! DIV lie fASSOClllSN 1 lSooJ
Allied blows on the l20-mile front
from Scissors to Ypres continue to
force the Germans back, and the
enemy appears unable to stay the at
tacks, which increasingly threaten
the stability of his definsive system
in France. On four sectores the
troops under Marshal Foch are hit
ting the German positions for good
gains. Unless the Germans want to
sacrifice men needlessly to defend
partly outilanked salients, 1t would
appear the time is close at hand tor
an enemy retirement.
The security of Noyon and the
salient about it seems most precari-
Gus as the armies OF Generals Hum
bert and Mangin press forward from
the south and west. The menace OF
the French blow here also includes
the German position from the SOM
me to Soissons and probably to
Rheims.
General Byng's successful attack
between Albert and Arras apparent
" is aimed at the important base OF
Bapaume, and if driven deep would
outflank the enemy positions north
of the Somme to the Ancre. Al
ready the British are within tour
miles of Bapaume from the west and
their progress continues. Farther
north the British maintain the pres
sure which slowly is flattening out
the Lys salient.
Huns Hold Relaxing.
With the fall OF Lassigny and the
high ground surrounding it, the Ger
man resistance in that region is SAID
to be relaxing. From Lassigny, Cen
eral Humbert is in a position to out
flank Roye and Noyon by advanc-
ing toward Nesle. The French also
are moving on Noyon along the west
bank OF the Disc south of where it
curves to the east
Southeast of Noyon, General Man
gins troops have reached the river
Disc near Pontoise, three miles
from Noyon. In the center also they
have pushed farther northward to-
ward the Oise, capturing additional
towns and villages.
General Mangin is reported to
have increased by several thousands
the 10000 prisoners taken up to
Tuesday night. On his left flank,
which, if driven eastward, would
make untenabel the German line
north of the Vesle river, enemy re-
sistance apparently has held up prog
ress of the movement.
In the new operation north of the
Ancre, the British have advanced an
average of three miles on ten mile
front and have reached the Albert
Arras railroad, crossing it on the
northern end OF the attacking front.
On the north the British have ad-
vanced to Mercatel, which is almost
on the old Hindenburg line, as it was
before the Arras offensive Of April,
1917.
French Nearing Bapaume.
At Achiet-le- Petit, on the south
ern end, the attackers are within
four miles of Bapaume.
The Germans suffered heavy losses
in General Byng's surprise attack and
the number of prisoners and guns is
said to be increasing hourly.
Around Mervillc, at the apex OF
the Lys salient, the British line has
been pressed more to the east. On
the northern flank of the salient the
British gained some ground near
Locre, and took l39 prisoners.

Battle Shows Camaraderie Ex-

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE. October (Reuter's) THE
camaraderie existing between the
Australians and Americans was il
1ustrated when the Anzacs had passed
through the American infantry, ac-
cording to program. during Sundays

confusion in the subsequent fighting.
After the Australians had carried
their objective a good many Amer
leans. who probably had not unwill-
1ngly been borne forward in the ad-
vance. were sorting themselves out
preparatory to rejoining their units.
-Thercupon ar Australian started a
recruiting depot in the front line.
Standing upon heap of sandbags, he
shouted:
This is the - battalion of the
Australian imperial forces. the finest
fighting battalion on the western
front. Who'll join? Walk up, walk

Wants Budget System Considered.
For Bringing Up Revenue Bill.

Plans for an adjournment of Con-
EresS over the election period are still
unsettled. Senator Simmons, chairman
OF the finance committee. in charge o.
the war revenue bill, said last night
that the earliest day on which the
revenue bill could be reported to the
Senate was October %, and that it
might be later than this. Until the
committee has progressed further, he
said. no plans would be made for a
recess or adjournment
The fact that the House has deter
mlnued to transact no business before
the appropriation bill is reported to it
leaves the emergency agriculture ap-
preparation bill, with it's wartime
prohibition and rent-profiteering rid
ers, suspended. The Senate has adopt
ed the conference report on this meas
ure, which is IL complete agreement on
the bill except for the rent profiteer-
ing amendment.
Until the House acts on the confer
ence report the bill will remain in its
present position. The chance of its
passing finally before election day is

Guns Brought Into Action.

Chalaire maneuvered the machine
and used his machine gun and the
observer used his gun with the result
that at least two enemy machines
were seen to go earthward in a spin.
By this time some of the enemy ma
chimes had gone off. but seven re-
% lets from mt their guns flew all all around
and punctured virtually every part
of the American machine, but the OBJ
server. who had been hit, kept on iir-
ing, although he was bleeding freely.
The wires were cut by the bullets and
the. gas tank was punctured.
About the time Chalaire got bull
let through his shoulder he noticed
that his observer had become uncon-
scious. He put his machine into
dive through the clouds, expecting
every moment that it might collapse.
Once through the clouds. he made
straight for the coast of Flanders,
which he reached in safety.
