AMERICANS BATTLE

WEST OF VERDuN. Oct. 6.-The American
troops on the line stetching westward
from the Meuse, who are opposed by re-
enforced units OF the German army,
Strengthened out the links left in their

American forces bucked the line stead

commanding officers accounted for so

1t was a day lacking spec. .cular oper-
ations, but a summary q the reports
reaching headquarters indicated the des-
perste character OF the fighting. The
general line was not materially altered,
but such changes as were made wero TO
the advantage OF the Americans. There
was no attempt to make a general ad-
vance, but rather to consolidate the po-
sitions already acquired. &c.

FIRES OBSERVED IN LAON

Enemy Apparently Ready to
Abandon Big Stronghold
=, of Their System.

PARIS. Oct. 6.-Rheims has been re-
deemed. BY an advance to-day and
yesterday Of about six miles on an
average along a front OF about thirty
miles east and west OF Rheims the
noted cathedral city has been freed Of
the dreadful bombardment under
which It has suffered almost daily for
four years. Tonight. for the first
time in that long period, the remnant
Of the city's civil population is resting
In peace and security.
The Germans are retreatlng toward
the Suippe and the Arnes. having
abandoned all the high positions which
they have been fortifying most pow
erfully for, the last four years. Fort
Brimont, from which Rheims was
shelled all that time, and the massif
Of Meronvillers have been taken by
the French and Nogent rAbbesse. to
the east Of Rheims. has. been COM
pletely encircled.
The French advance guards, in close
touch with the retiring Germans, have
passed beyond the line Of OrainvilIers-
Bourgogne. Cernay-les- -Rhe sims Betheni-
villeA Further east the French hold the
Aynes along its whole course thsy have
crossed the suippe at orainyills and the
Arnes at several points. Crossing the
Aisfe the poilus have reached the
wooded heights to the north.
Further west. almost south OF Laon.
italian troops have taken Soupir, and
driving the Germans before them. have
reached the, plateaus 10 the northeast,
where they are attacking in consider
able force. Fires in Laon indicate that
the Germans are about to abandon that
stronghold Of their system and ptobably
with 1t the ST. Qobain massif.
Further north. toward st. Quentin,
Gen. Debeney's troops are fishtins hard
around Lesdins, and the battle which
has ragged there for several days has
lost none OF It's Intensity. The British
are cooperating with the French in this
action and have established themselves
on the high ground near Lesdins, taking
about 1000 prisoners yesterday.
In their sector the British to-day
advanced on an average about two miles
on front of seven miles south of Cam
brai IN the direction Of lie Cateau. This
advance probably will compel the
evacuation by the Germans OF Cambrai.
There are signs that the Germans are
preparing also to abandon the Douai
sector, still further north.
In their advance to-day the British
captured the town Of Fresnoy. west Of
DouaI. and gained new ground in the
vicinity of Aubencheul Montbrehain
and Beaurevoir. in the st. Quentin area,
were taken yesterday.

Requested Not To Send Food
To Soldiers.

The Council of National De-
fense desires to inform the peo-
pie of the country that abundant
food is supplied to the soldiers
and sailors in the cantonments,
and that the sending of food to
these men by their friends and
families is not in any respect
necessary; that the aggregate
quantity of food thus sent is
enormous, and that much of it
having been conveyed long dis
tances in heated express or mail
cars, is more or less spoiled, and
consequently injurious to the
health eff the men. Therefore,
in the interest of the conserva-
tion of food and also the health
of the men, the Council of Ma
tional Defense requests the pub
lie to discontinue the sending of
food stutfs to the camps.
Faithfully yours.
