BRITISH MINE
 THE DARDANELLES

Lodon, Nov. (By The Associated Press) IA large fleet of the latest types of British mine sweepers today began the tedious task of clearing the Dardanelles of mines and other ob- structions. This work. together with other safeguards which the allies con- sider to be necessary before the allied fleet enters the torturous waterway leading past Constantinople and thru the Bosphorus to the Black Sea, will take several days, in the opinion of the opinion of the British Admiralty.
 The allied fleet, it is believed, is sure to come to grips with the old Russian fleet in the Black Sea, if the war continues few weeks longer. There is every reason to believe that the Germans have put. this fleet in good order. It consists of seven pre- dreadnaughts, two cruisers and twelve submarines, besides at least 26 other types of warcraft. The enemy has the advantage of three good bases in the Black Sea-O Odessa Sebastopol and lNikolaiev--but it is likely that they are short of ammunition. At Nikloa- iFv four cruisers are being built. One of them is nearly completed.

Two Years For Americans to
 Return Home
American General Says It Will Take Two Years to
 Roll Up Barbed Wire.

New York, Nov. 1.-DemObiliZatiOn of the American forces in France will require period of two years after peace is declared, according to a statement made here tonight by General T. Coleman Dupont. who has just returned from a two months visit to the western front.
 Declaring that his views were the reflection of official opinion among the allied forces. he asked that Americans accnstom themselves to the idea of long demobilization as they had to that of a long war.
 "One of our generals asked me-" SC said "to tell the people at home that our boys have years work ahead sf them in removing the barbed wire the Huns have strung across France"
 Asserting that the civil war had turned thousands of men back into civil life weakened and purposless," /" General Dupont said the seven war work agencies should be supported generously in their approaching cam paign. He declared that statesman like plans are being laid for the trying period following peace.
 Every hut in France" he said, twill become a university classroom on the day peace is signed. The boys will be given every educational ad- vantage under leading educators and sibusiness men from the United States. :"

VALENCIENNES IS BOTTLED UP BY
 THE BRITISH

With The British Army in rFance and Belgium, Nov. (By The Asso- ciated Press.)-(2 P. M.)-Valen- ciennes today was bottled up as the result of lightning blow by the Brit ish on both sides of the city. Only im- mediate retirement from the place, or something in the nature of miracle can save the German troops who at noon had only narrow gateway open to them for retreat toward the east:
 Meantime the French and British and Americans from the Pacific Coast and Ohio, along the Deynze-Avelghem front in Belgium continued success fully to advance begun yesterday morning. The heavy enemy resistance encountered on this sector yesterday died out during the night:
 The main attack at Valenciennes was south of the city, just above Fam, ars. The Canadians who engineered the drive, were supported by one o1 the heaviest artillery bombardments of the war. The gunfire was terrific and this made the going easy Tor the overseas infantry which followed.
 The Canadians pushed rapidly thru to their objectives which gave them the whole of the railway line rInnng south from Valenciennes.

ROUT 0F AUSTRIA IS NOW COMPLETE
 ON ITALIAN LINE
Thousands Prisoners Have Been Captured, Includ-
 ing Billions of Booty.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Rout of the Australian armies of the Italian front continues, said an official dispatch from Rome. The number of prisoners is increasing rapidly and continuous ly, while more than 700 captured guns have been counted. The booty captur- ed already is of enormous quantity.
 After annihilation the resistance of the Austrians at the Livenza Italian cavalry divisions have pushed forward and now are nearing the Taglimento river. Great numbers of airplanes preceding the Italian troops are using their machine guns on the retreating enemy columns.
 The italians also are fast advanc- ing in the direction of Odine and Por- drone already has been taken. The third army reinforced by marines have occupied the whole intricate zone along the Adriatic. Belluno has been occupied by the twelfth army, while at the extreme sector of the front, Italian marines have occupied Caorle.
 From the St. Elvio to the Astico, the Austrians are strongly resisting, the dispatch said, but they are waver- ing beyond the Asiago plateau and are in utter rout all along the rest of the front.
 The greatest deefnse that the enc my has is the natural obstacles along the road of it's retreat, adds the dis patch. Our troops are full of enthu- siasm and are following the enemy re- lentlessly. The Italian artillery has been rapidly brought into action and all the captured enemy artillery being used to hamper the retreat.
 "The value of the captured booty can already be calculated in the bil- lions"

Street Car Wreck Kills
 85 Persons
Collision In New York At Time of Strike; All Off,
 cials Ordered Arrested.

New York, Nov. Eighty five bodies had been taken late tonight from what is known as the Malone Street "tunnel" on the Brighton Beach line of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company where five-car train run ming at high speed, jumped the track on a curve and struck the side wide with such terrific force that the first car was demolished and the others "buckled" until they were jammed against the roof of the tunnel.
 The crash occurred when the train ahead, said to have been in charge of a new motorman, jumped the track at switch and another train plunged into the rear cars.
 The tragedy marked the first day of a strike called by the company's motormen to enforce the reinstate- ment of 29 discharged members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers as ordered by the national war labor board.
 District Attorney Lewis said all officers of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company and every person con- nected with the accident had been or dered arrested. He said the company was withholding the name of the mo- torman.
 MT. Lewis said the motorman of the leading train was going at high speed when he turned into the cut. The front car jumped the track and buck led.
 Immediately after the crash the wrecked cars burst into flames. Res cue work was retarded by the cut where the crash occurred as no one could hardly chamber up the steep concrete walls.
 The injured and dead were carried up ladders. Charred bodies were plac- ed in burlap bags to shroud them from the gaze of the thousands of persons who gathered soon after the collision.
 More than 100 members of the wo- mems motor corps of American res bonded with cars to the calls for help.

Headquarters Of The Fourth French Army, Nov. (By The Asso- ciated Press. General Gourauds ar my attacked this morning on front of five to six mile sbetween the Aisne and the Argonne in conjunction with the first American army on his right. The immediate objective of the French commander in this region is to clear the enemy out of thickly wooded and much broken massif of the Argonne, the last natural fortress which remains to him until he reach es the Ardennes.
 | Ever since September 27 the Ger mans have chung to the Argonne in spite of the unremitting endeavors of the French army on the west and the Americans on the east of the for est. After series of extremely diff cult and hotly contested operations, General Gouraud has succeeded in es- tablishing himself on the left bank of the Aisne between the villages of Terror and Falaise distance of about five miles.
 With the river at their back and lit- tie more than mile from the German trenches. between them and the for est, the operations was one of consid- erable difficulty. The night was spent in throwing bridges across the Aisne in preparation for the passage of an important force with it's material. The enemy knew that the attack was com ing, but seemed to have been unaware that it would extend as far north as it did, and he left the bridge makers almost undisturbed.
 The attack was launched shortly be- fore six o'clock after a whirlwind ar- tillery preparation of thirty minutes.
 The Aisne was crossed opposite the

ADVANCE FIVE NILES
 ON TEN MILE FRONT

London, Nov. 1.-Today's attack in Flanders was rewarded by an advance of more than five miles on ten mile front It brought the allies to the Scheldt from Berchem to Cavere, ten miles south of Ghent This ad- vance probably will enable the Bel gians to push the enemy over the Derivation canal to the Terneuse canal.
 South of Valenciennes the attack resulted in an advance to two miles on a four mile front and the capture of Auloy and Presean, thus reach- ing the southern edge of Valenciennes which is flooded.
 The French and Americans on the southern part of the battle line, at tacking through Attigny, have al- vanced between three and four miles and are nearning Buzancy.
