south they have reached the western
bank Of the river on four mile
front from Bruyelles to Bleharies:
During the last ninety-seven days
of fighting the allies have advanced
along line from Pont au Mousson to
Newport, an average distance Of about
twenty EIGHT miles. This advance ag-
gregated thirty-eight miles from Cha
teau Thierry to Grandlup, fifty-nine
from Amiens to the Sambre river and
thirty eight from Dismude to the
Eecloo-Zeebrugge canal. Further
south, the British, Americans and
French are fighting hard in their at
tempts to break the Hunding line.
The town of Brieulles, on the wes-
tern bank of the Mouse, which has
been .stubbornly defended by the
Germans, has been given up by the
enemy This is the latest point at
which the Americans have driven a
dent into the German defenses, de-
spite the fact that the enemy resis-
tance is still as strong as formerly.
The American divisions with the
British, consisting Of New York, South
Carolina and Tennessee men, have just
earned new laurels by gaining ground
against large superior forces, includ-
ing a famous German naval brigade.
The attack was conducted against ans
important sector where the Germans
were trying to hold the line while COM
rades in other regions escaped with
material.
The allies are planning a winter :
campaigns It is pointed out that de-
creased activity would enable the Ger
mans to recuperate to such a degree I
as to make certain prolongation Of
the struggle. During previous winters
the enemy has been able to rest up
his forces and replenish his supplies.

reason to believe he would not avail
himself Of the same opportunity now
and to much greater advantage
There are two places on the 'front.'
where it is conceded that military OPP
erations during the winter will be-
virtually impossible, but American Of
fcers insist that Is per cent Of the.
front offers no real obstacle to con-
tinuance Of the fight. It is not ques-
toned that the Operations will be
slowed down, but even so, the advan-
tage will be with the attacking side,

man material is growing scarcer
