ONE OF THE GREAT VICTORIES
OF THE WAR
London, Oct. s10.-An official report
says the attack of the Anglo-Ameri-
can forces in the breach between St.
Quentin and Cambrai resulted yester-
day evening in continued advances.
The British are now within two miles
of Le-Chateau and Saullaumines and
Novelties have been captured. Fight
ing is going on southeast of Cambria
on both sides of Caudry.
Reports from all fronts late We'd
nesday night indicated the Allies had
won one of the greatest victories of
the war. On twenty mile front be-
tween Cambrai and st. Quentin the
Germans are in full flight, with the
British cavalry pursuing. The infan-
try is hastily following in columns Of
four through many villages abandon
ed by the enemy. A gain of nine
miles was reported hours ago, and
the Allies are still in full pursuit,
with the ground ahead clear. The en-
emy made every effort to destroy
Cambrai, but vast stores of booty
have fallen into the hands of the AL
lies which the enemy did not have
time to blow up. Allied airmen saw
large forces of the enemy fleeing in
great disorder well to the east Of Le-
Cateau. Thirty divisions were routed.
The formidable German defense
system between Cambria and st.
Quentin has been utterly demolished,
and the forces of all the Allies are out
in the open country eastward pursu-
ing the enemy. The Cambrai pivot,
the former line over which there has
Erh% Sc ~
British hands, and numerous villages
and hamlets to the south overrun by
the Allies. Thousands of German
prisoners and hundreds of guns have
been captured. The victory is SEEM
ingly complete, with Foch's strategy
working smoothly, bending back the
/. German line in one great converting
movement. In Macedonia and Asiat-
ic Turkey the Entente still have the
enemy on the run. Where the enemy
will make his next stand is uncertain,
but he will probably turn about in an
effort to be attempted on the Valen-
ciennes-Sedan front.
