American First Army launched a
new attack this morning from the
Argonne TO the Meuse against the
formidable ridge OF heights running
through Romagne and crowned by

The fighting was OF the bitterest
sort, continuing at last accounts at
nearly every point. The Germans sp-

which had been expected by them two
nights ago. They retreated slightly

Enemy's Plans Shattered,

The plan of the German High Com
mand was based upon the retention of
the northern and southern pillars of the
line while the German armies in the
centre withdrew, but the loss OF ST.
Quentin. the practical loss of Cambria
and the forced retreat before the British
and Belgians in the north toward Cour-
trai and Lille, with the smashing Of the
Hindenburg system between Cambria
and ST. Quentin. has put the entire plab
awry.
Desperate efforts by the Germans to-
day 10 hold or at least to check the
British advance in the Cambrai-St.
Quentin sector show that the peril OF
this situation is fully appreciated by
their High Command. At least two divi.
sions not heretofore in this vicinity have

were unable TO stop the British, and

LONDON. Oct. 4.-The great retreat
of the Germans took on added inn
petus to-day in the northern section
Of the battle front. on both sides Of
the Belgian frontier, and also in the
section east of the Cambrai-St. Quen-
tin line. Tremendous fighting con-
tinued all day. almost if not quite
the most furious that this war has
seen, while back of the German lines
all the roads and railroads are
choked with transport moving east-

ing cleared of all civilians. %"
In the Lens-Armentieres regions
the British. close on the heels of the
retreating Germans. have advanced
six miles and now are only six miles
from Lille, the greatest railroad cen
tire and supply depot that the Ger

Belgian border the Belgians and
French have pressed forward and
their troops now are on both sides Of
Roulers. which is destined 10 pass
into their hands any day.

The retreat of the Germans from
Lens and Armentieres is regarded here
as Of tremendous import. as it is prac-
tically an admission that the great
battle on the Cambrai-St. Quentin line
is nearing it's inevitable conclusion.
which is almost certain to be followed
by q great forward movement of the
Allies forces.
There are plenty of signs that the
Germans were preparing for a general
retreat, but they intended to make 1t

The prevalence of Spanish influenza

ever, glorying in their ability TO over
come any obstacles that might stand
In the way Of successful campaign,
have found way around this difficult
ty. This way around is no other than
q correspondence campaign in which
every student who can not be reached
by personal solicitation will be solicit.
ed at long range through the medium
OF Uncle Sans postal service.
In view Of the ready response from
the student division In the war work
campaign OF last spring 1t IL felt that
simple reminder OF the task assigned
TO the division will be sufficient to
bring every student to the fore with
substantial contribution toward the
100000 quota which the Northwest
student division, comprising the states
OF Oregon. Washington and Idaho, has
agreed to raise. In fact In some schools
which have already launched this long
range campaign results 80 far achieved
have been such as TO lend strength to
the belief that the student division will
not only raise its assigned quota but
will, as In the previous campaign. gn
over the top with good margin to
spare. Some students, anticipating the
needs in this drive are mailing in their
subscriptions TO their college commit.
tee even without any solicitation In
order that their contribution may be
properly credited.

ing encouraged as far IS possible and
