British Headquarters in France,
Nov. 5.-(Reuters via MontreaD-The
series Of battles raging on the west
ern front from Valenciennes TO
Stenay promise to prove the most
stupendous conflict OF the war.
The Germans yesterday. got the
worst hammering they have ever re-
ceived. Tt has become a habit of
speech to say that the enemy Is still
unbroken and unbeaten but IL things
continue much longer at the present
rate the allied world is likely to
awake suddenly to the realization
that this statement has ceased to be
true.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
allies in the present operation ara
engaged only with the rear guard
of the enemy retreating according to
plans
The opposite is true. The Germans
are being forced to fight their hard
est by' attacks which threaten to
achieve the strategic collapse of the
enemy. The successes gained by the
allies have been won against immense
concentrations of strength which are
striking in a most determined man
ner to hold vital points.

Cross the Meuse
After the pontoon bridge at Bri-

Americans threw a second bridge
across the Meuse at Clery-ly Petit
and began developing a new line on
the heavily wooded and very diff
cult ground east of the river between
CIery and Brieulles. a two and one

-- Briey Mines Threatened
The Americans on the west bank
Of the Meuse north of stenay are
within four miles Of the Ger
man main communication line from
Sedan to Metz at a point northwest
OF Chevanoy. The successful CROSS
ing of the Meuse outfanks the Ger-
an positions east OF the Meuse tow@,
ards the Moselie, which protects the
important Briey iron fields aRd inn
portant railroad and supply lines in
the regions Of Montmedy and Con-
fans. From the Meuse west to the
Aisne the Americans and French
maintain their pressure against the
Germans defending the Mezieres- Sc
dan railroad line, ten miles to the
north.
Cleared JauInay Wood
The Americans early today began
clearing out Jaulnay wood to the
bend Of the Meuse southeast OF Pou-
lily and this afternoon the wood was
in their possession.
German troops who had remained
west Of the Meuse began to flee
across the river early today along
the line north and south Of Stenay.
After destroying the bridge from
Stenay to Laneuville, the enemy
opened the locks of the canal and
flooded the river to a. width of about
two-thirds Of a mile.
Paris, Nov. 5.-A battle which is
believed here to be decisive is now
going on. 1t is being waged in two
sections. In the north the blow de-
livered by the British and French is
a threat levelled at one of the f1anks
Of the vast pocket formed by the
German lines from Holland to Metz.
Germans in A New Pocket
The object Of this offensive is to
drive dangerous wedges either north
of the Sambre in the direction Of
Mons or south of the river in the di-
rection of Avesnes and Maubeuge
The result may be a compromise as
retreat Of the German armies in Bel
gtum or those still between the Disc
and the Aisne.
Break German Last Line
Excellent results have been realiz-
ed SO far. The Sambre hiver and ca
nal have been crossed. This was ths
last line of resistance west OF the
frontier which may be soon reach
ed in that region. According to lat
est information the allied advance
continues notwithstanding desperate
resistance by the enemy.
Americans Hold Key Position
The second section OF the attack is
being conducted by Generals Gou-
rand and Liggett on the Meuse. This
is the great strategic offensive which
the Germans have always feared and
which they sought to make impossi-
BILE by storming Verdun in 1915. The
aim OF the Franco-American often
sive is to pinch out the Who'll pock-

from La Mouilly station northwest
OF Montmedy on the great shuttle
