With the Allied Armies in France
and Belgium. Oct. 26.-Heavy tightlng
was taking place on the battlefront In
+ba region of Valenciennes, especially
south of the town.
The British hate gained ground at
almost every point along the front.
Since Wednesday morning the Brit
ish third army has taken 5000 prison
ers and the first and fourth armies
each has taken 1860, making a totai
of $500. More than 100 cannon were
captured Wednesday and Thursday.
Fighting. which compares in fierce
ness TO almost any in the war, contin-
ued through the day.
The British line was within one
mile of LandrecieS. Desperate night
ing is reported in the Bots LEVeque
and the neighbOrhood, where the Ger
mans were killed by the thousands.
II appeared that the enemy had or
ders IA. hold on, regardless of the cost.
The Germans apparently were dispos-
ed in great depth and had several
hastily constructed lines of defense
which they were determined TO regain
until defenses further eastward had
been prepared so that German armies
TO the north and south could escape
The enemy has been supported by
considerable artillery all along the
front.
To the north the British by hard
fighting established posts between the
river and the canal east of Escaut.
pont North of FreSnes some prog
ress was made toward Condo against
heavy and vigorous machine opera
tons. Bruille, Lelong, Beenot and
Burden were captured after strong
opposition had been broken down.

improved their positions at three I'M
portant points along the front east
and west of the Meuse during til"
night,
East of the Meuse the. Americans
drove the enemy from the eastern
edge of. the Bots d'Ormont, gaining
their objective. Near Grandpre, ives
of the Meuse. they Strengthened on!
their line and captured several i'm
portant ridges.
1t is reported the Germans are pre-
pairing new defense positions near
Briquenay, four and one-half miles
north of Grandpre, and that they are
expected to take a stand in that re
gion.
Among the prisoners captured by
the Americans are members of tn"
twenty-efghth division, known as thu
"Flying Shock Division.
Heavy German counter attacks east
of the Meuse were thrown back by
troops holding Belleu wood and the
lines on either side. The Germans
are using their heavy guns and ma
chine guns extensively.
Twelve American soldiers, separat-
ed from their own lines have return
edafter spending four days and four
nights hiding in shell holes and I'M
derbrush near Loges farm. They
fought off small detachmentS of Ger
mans, but were unable to reach
places of safety because of the enemy
sharpshOoters.
Notwithstanding the constant ha-
RAISING, they made patrollng eXpedi-
tons each night and brought back
valuable information.
In local attack east of the Mouse,
the Americans advanced about a mile
on a front of nearly two miles, and
the Bots Bultruy, the Bots de Houppy
and the Bots de Belleu are within the
American lines, as also is part of
the Bots de WavriIle and Plyon de
Traye.
The advance was made after brief
artillery preparation. The enemy S
response was principally with ma
chine guns, but during the fighting
he shelled the back areas and threw
a few siX-inchers into Nerdun.
Twenty-seven prisoners were taken
when the Americans occupied Hill 2T4
and east Of the Mouse fourteen Ger
mans surrendered and a number of
others were captured in the woods.
Twelve prisoners We're taken in the
Grande Carrie farm and twentythree
southeast Of Aincrevile.
Late in the day the German artil-
lery stiffened its lighter calibre shell
ing Of the American positions on
! Grande farm and its vicinity. Dur.
ing the afternoon the Germans threw

London, Oct. 26.-The heaviest air
fighting on the British western front
in recent months occurred during the
four months ending September 80,
when 1000 hostile machines were ac-
counted for in France by the royal
air force.
These figures do not include the
losses inflicted by the British coastal
squadrons operating over Belgium or
by the independent force raiding Ger
many.
There is strong ground for believ-
ing that Germany has been losing ma
chimes in France at a faster rate than
she can effectively replace them.
In the same period the royal aerial
independent force. working from
base in French Lorraine, made more
than $50 raids on the enemy's NUM-
ton centers, railways and airdromes
in German territory.
The total weight of bombs dropped
in Germany in June last was sixty
nine tons, in July eighty-one tons, in
August 100 tons, and in September
US tons.
