Battle Summary
(RY The Associated Pressl

In a war theater the allied armies have taken no heed of the efforts under way for the re establishment of peace, but are continuing to force back the Germans at vital points along the lines in Belgium and France. In these en- deavors the British and Americans are for the moment taking the principal parts. The British have approached to within two miles of Valenciennes and the Americans, to the northwest of Verdun, have succeeded in occupying two highly important positions in their operations, aimed at an advance north ward.
 American and British troops have crossed the Disc cnnal on a wide front in the face of desperate resistance. and further successes in this sector will menace the Germans both to the north and south.
 The Valencennes- Hirson railway. formerly one of the Germans main lateral arteries of communication, has been cut. The west bank of the Scheldt canal has been occupied by the British along an extent of ten miles. to the north of Tournai, which city is being defended by masses of Germans armed with machine guns.
 Belgium is gradually being redeemed. lIOW tildL lHC IldN [ drawn in their lines, the British, Bel gians and French are encountering much stiffer opposition than during the early days of the great drive for the | re- occupation, by the allies, of the Bel gian coast. The city of Ghent, an ob- | jective which the allies have always | had in mind, is yet seven miles away. l Probably it will be outflanked from the
 north before it is taken. Allied troops
 already have made considerable pro- gress with this end in view. | Having cleared the Germans out of | Belgium. the allied forces are standing
 on a line, from the Dutch frontier to | the Disc canal, that is virtually straight. new movement has begun
 to the east of Courtrai, the object of which is to free the northern section 1 of Belgium from the enemy. 1 Frnch troops have reached the Dan
 ube river in the region of Vidin, after offensive operations in the eastern the ater of the war lasting more than a
 month.
 The economic independence of Hun
 gary is to be proclaimed at an early date, in a manifesto which it is re- ported will be issued by Emperor
 Charles. Hungary will be permitted tc maintain her own army and her owr diplomatic corps.

PARIS, Oct. 21.-French troops have reached the Danube river in the region of Vidin, the war office announces tonight. The official statement says:
 The situation is without change on the Disc front. Between the Disc and the Serre. our troops re- sumed their progress this morning. On the right we occupied Mestre- court Richecourt, taking about fif- ty prisoners; on the left, between Lucy and Nillers- Le- Sec, we gained ground despite the enemy's spirited resistance. The battle was stubborn.
 "On the plateau east of NouZiers, the Germans counter attacked sev- eral times with large effectives. Our troops resisted all the assaults and maintained their positions"
 Eastern theater. On October 20, thirty four days after launching their offensive, the French troops reached the Danube in the region of Nidin and took measures to prevent all traffic on the river An enemy monitor was forced ashore on the north bank under our artillery fire.
 "The same day allied forces oc- cupIed Zaietchar. Their ad- vanced elements are within ten kilometers of Laratchin, on the Morava. Serbian troops are in contact, north of AleksinatZ and Krushevatz, with German forces strongly cntrenched"

close to the roads and on them, so that when it becomes necessary to with draw the guns, they can get away in hurry. In their retreat the Germans have resorted to every known means to delay the bringing up of artillery, but without effect. At the present time, however, the allies are not ham, pered in the least, for the Germans were put to such hurried flight that they had little time to take their ar tillery and vast stores of ammunition with them These fell into the hands of the allied troops, and the guns were promptly turned around, and shells made in Germany" were sent east ward as fast as they could be fired against their original owners. h. fantrymen thus had novel experience in serving artillery.
 Closer Daily to Ghent
 In the northern part of the battle area allied cavalry is moving ahead of the infantry, clearing out the Ger mans. And all the while, the allies are getting nearer and nearer to Ghent.
 Belgian artillery has been moved up rapidly behind the infantry and is pounding the enemy constantly. Shrapnel is breaking continuously on the German rear and high explosives are reaching out for transports and men on the roads.
 The fighting is going on in rain and mud. To some extent the allies troops have left behind the ground which turns into marsh and have not been | hampered greatly

Belgium the allies are three miles from Eecloo, and in the whole vast stretch between Courtrai and the Dutch border, the British, French and Belgians are pushing the Germans be- fore them, closing in toward Ghent from which they now are less than seven miles.
 In the center of the battle area the British are on the west bank of the Scheldt for more than ten miles, north of Tounai. in front of which city the Germans are resisting stubbornly with machine guns. Frontally the British have reached positions less than four miles from Valenciennes. Northwest of Nalenciennes they have entered the great Vicoigne- -Raismes forest. In the region northwest of Lille the British are pushing out in the general direc- tion of Le Quesnoy, fighting every foot of the way.
 The Germans here and there in Bel gium have held out strongly in enor- nous concrete forts from which the guns had been removed. These forts were used by German machine gunners and in some cases it required shells from heavy guns to crack them. More prisoners have been captured, the third army taking over 2,5O0 yesterday.

 BERLIN. Oct. 21 (via London).- Todays German official commit nique reads:
 Western theater: In Flanders there has been violent fighting be- fore and on the Lys sector, be- tween Ursel and Courtrai. We threw back the enemy, who had temporarily penetrated into Some ghem, by a counter attack.
 "On both sides of Deynze the enemy has obtained a firm footing on the west bank of the Lys. De- tachments which had advanced across the river to the south of the town were for the most part taken prisoner. A nest of French sol- diers remained on the east bank.
 East of Courtrai the enemy has advanced beyond Deerlyck and Sweveghem. On the heights west and southwest of Vichte we brought his attacks to a standstill. North of the Scheldt we repulsed the enemy before our lines. North of Tournai the enemy has reached the Scheldt.
 South of Tournai we have been in fighting contact with the enemy on the line of St. Amand. east of Domain, and on the heights east and northeast of Haspres. On both sides of Solesmes and Le Cateau the British attacked with strong forces in order to extend their at- tacks launched between Le Cateau and the Oise on October 17 and IS. Between Sommaing and Vertain his attacks were held up by our defensive fire on the heights west of the lowlands of the Haspres. On both sides of Solesmes the enemy, advancing beyond our front lines, was brought to a standstill.
 "On both sides of Le Cateau we maintained our. positions in gen eral after hard and fluctuating fighting. Here the forty-fourth Brandenburg reserve division espe- cially distinguished itself. Owing to the stubbornness of our in- fantry, especially supported by the artillery, the enemy attack, which was delivered with large effectives in men and material. has thus far failed on the whole of the front of 20 kilometers 02lh miles), with the exception of limited local gains of ground.
 North of the Serre fresh enemy attacks were repulsed. On both sides of the Laon- Marie road we made a counter attack and cleared such parts of our lines as were still in the hands of the enemy and also repulsed strong counter at- tacks.
 ITO the west of the Aisne, east Prussian battalions and the 231st reserve infantry regiment also re- captured their positions by a counter attack and repulsed enemy attacks.
 TO the east of Vouziers the enemy attempted, by means of continuation of his attacks, to ex- tend the local successes which he obtained on October 19 His at tacks failed, owing chiefly to a counter attack by the filth in- fantry regiment and the stubborn defense of of the seventh company of the 24th Bavarian infantry regi- ment.
 ITO the east of Bantheville, par tial attacks delivered by Americans were repulsed.
 ''For the rest, the fighting ac- tivity on both sides of the Mouse remained within moderate bounds.
 ''In the southeastern theater of war, on the Morava. we repulsed repeated partial attacks by the Serbians."

 "The permanence of the new system is, however, guaranteed not only by constitutional safeguards. but also by the unshakabIe deter imitation of the German people. whose vast majority stands behind these reforms and demands their energetic continuance.
 "The question of the president with whom he and the govern ments associated against Germany are dealing-is therefore answered in a clear, unequivocal manner by the statement that the offer of peace and an armistice has come from government which is free from any arbitrary and irrespon- sibe influence, is supported by the approval of an overwhelming ma jorItY of the German people.

 In this region the River Ecaillion has been reached and probably crossed.
 The Germans have delivered num- Der of counter attacks, but in every case they have broken down under the hot fire of the allied troops. The Ger man dead are on the battlefield in great numbers.
 In scores of the towns which have been won from the enemy Germans have been found hiding in cellars wait ing to surrender. It is reported that not a few of them have taken ad- vantage of the proximity of the Dutch frontier to cross to the other side, where they have been interned.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. Oct 21-It is the general impression that the resistance of the enemy everywhere is stiffening. Ap- parently the rapidity of the British drive in Flanders and northern France has caused the enemy to realize that the allied forces are approaching the fatherland at a rate that if not checked, might before long find their long range guns pitching shells across the Rhine. Therefore, the enemy is pulling himself together with a view to delaying to the utmost the allied advance

NEWSPAPER COMMENT

NEW YORK TIMES-The terms of peace will be just to the rest of the world, however harsh, Germany and the German yeople may deem them to be. It remains for them not to choose the terms, but to accept what ever terms may be imposed. The armies of Marshal Foch will give them no respite until they come to that con- clusion.
 NEW YORK TRIBUNE-They have maneuvered for an armistice which would save their precious fatherland from an invasion, and lead to peace conferences, based upon MT. Wilson's conditions, which provide for Ger manys restoration to free seas and free trade, and omit 10 mention moral punishment or reparation. If that is what the American people have been fighting for, let them hold their peace. If not, then now is the time to speak. NEW YORK SUN-The great fact that stands forth in the last note of the present German government" is the swift progress of that government in the direction of unconditional sur render. The apparent intent is to bring the people l to a state of mind which shall realize and accept the defeat nSw inevitable, without turning upon the dynasty primary responsibility for the national disaster.
 | WASHINGTON POST-The com munication is nothing else than an effort to obtain relief for the German army by uttering a series of false
 hoods, and false promises to Presi-
 dent Wilson. There should be only one answer, hereafter. to anything that
 Germany may say: Surrender to Foch.'
