BRITISH SWEEPERS ALREADY CLEARING
 UP DARDANELLES
Fifty-Mile Passage Verita- ble Sea of Mines, Which Will Require Consider
 able Time to Remove

London, November 1.--(By the Asso- ciated Press. )-A large fleet of the lat
 est types of British minesweepers to- day began the tedious task of clearing the Dardanelles of mines and other Instructions. Thts worE, together with other safeguards which the allies con- sider to be necessary before the allied fleet enters the tortuous waterway loading past Constantinople and through the Bosphorus to the Black sea- will take several days, in the opinion of the
 British admiralty.
 A fortnight ago the allied fleet test ed the efficiency of the forts inside the Dardanelles by dropping a few shells on them. The reply of the Turks was quick and fairly accurate, show ing. that the Qualifications are still probably in good shape. The 5O-miIe passage through the waterway is a veritable sea of mines and other ob- structions, which it will require some | little time to remove. In addition the
 minesweepers will be hindered by the swift currents, which are stronger at 1 other.
 1 The -ilied fleet, it is believed, is sure l to come to grips with the old Russian 1 fleet in the Black sea, if the war con- | tinues few weeks longer There is every reason to believe that the Ger
 mans have put this fleet in good or | der. It consists of seven predread- naughts, two cruisers and 12 subma-
 rines, besides at least 26 other types
 of warcraft.

 On the plains the retrOgrade movement of the enemy toward the TagliamentO river Is virtually a complete rOut, with allied air- planes violently attacking with machine guns the thrOngs of the enemy hurrying eas=ward; with the cavalry cutting 70 pieces the straGElers md the infantry and machine Eunners taking heavy toll in men killed and wounded.
 Great numbers of the AustrO- Hungarians still continue to be winnowed back of the line to the prison cages. Large quantities of stores are still falling into the hands of the entente forces and numerous additional towns are be- ing liberated. More than 700 guns already have been added to the store of other trophies taken by the allies.
 In Belgium, along the Scheldt from Berchem to Gavare, King AL bert's men have pressed forward in the general direction of Ghent and at last accounts were standing on the N'SStNhh SAuC VI thC WHICH the Germans had hoped, before the concentrated attack was begun against them sometime ago, would prove strong point in their nOrth- ern defensive system.
 To the south, below Valen- eiennes, English and Canadian troops have driven the German line farther eastward over front of six miles. inflicting exceptionally heavy casualties on the enemy and drawing their line almost to the outskirts of southern vaIencicnnes. Several thousand prisoners were taken in the enterprise.
 On the southern part of the front the French and American troops are driving northward over wide fronts, clearing the enemy from the terri tory which 1t Is essential for him to hold If his line from Belgium to the Mouse Is to be retained intact.
 Splendid progress hns been made in the first stages of the battle, and seemingly the great wooded massif north of Grand Pre-, con- tinuation of the ArEOnne forest, is likely soon to he envelOped, leaving only comparatively strong natural barriers to be faced by the allies in an advance nOrthward.

Summary Of tie Nous From AM War Fronts and Capitals
tBy the Associated Press.)

From the mountain regions of yenetfa and on the salient sectors in Belgium and France the armies of the TeutOnic allies are being violently attacked by troops of the entente.
 In Italy, except on several sec tors in the hill country, the enc my is fast being overwhelmed. In both Belgium md France addi- tional splendid gains have been recorded in favor of the entente, in the achievement of which ma7 chine guns took a gOOdly part.
 In Serbia the Austrians and Ger mans are fast making their way out of the little kingdom, many of them already have crossed the Danube. French and Serbian cav airy have reached Belgrade, from where fast turning movement westward along the Save river is likely to work havoc with those of the enemy forces coming north ward in western SerOla Hhu tHosc who are struggling northward through Albania.
 So far as Turkey is concerned, her equalization is an abject one, and the Ottoman no longer is to prove a factor in the world drama. Although the new smashes of the British, French and Amer icans in Belgium and France have been markedly successful in the carrying out of inc general pro- grnmme of ridding French and Bel gian soil of the invaders, it is still the Italian tfen-rc on which the eyes of the world are cen- tered. Internal strife in Germany and Austria Hungary and contin- ued pleadings from the dual mOn- archy for an armistice and ces- sation of hOstiIifies have received scant notice, when compared with the impression that the wonderful drive of the Italians and their al- lies against the ro-Hungarians has made upon the world at large.
 Everywhere the enemy is being defeated initiaIly. In the Alpine region, where the natural bar /ricrs had acted as bastiOns of de- fense, the enemy line had broken

DUE TO RECKLEssNEss


 District Attorney Lewis late tonight made the following statement regard ing the wreck:
 "After thorough and minute inves- tigation of this accident--the worst and most terrible traction accident that ever happened in5 Brooklyn--T have come to the conclusion that 1t was due to the recklesshess of the motorman, William Lewis. The man was incompetent. He had no right to be running this train. His incompe- tency must have been known to tho officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company.
 "These officials are the men who dj- rected him to take out the train. From ] the information in my possession he i was going at a highly excessive rate of speed, around the curve, in disre- gard to signals, when his car jumped the tracks,"
 The tragedy marked the first day of a strike called by the company's mo- tormen to enforce the reinstatement of 29 discharged' members of the Broth . erhood of Locomotive Engineers as ordered by the national war labor board Officials of the company professed three hours after the accident to have no definite information as to its cause. They said no reports had been made to them by members of the train crew. District Attorney Lewis of Kings county declared all the officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, and every person connected in any way with the accident, had been ordered placed under arrest.
 He asserted the company was with holding the name of the motorman. There is no doubt" MT. Lewis said.

Meantime the French and British and Americans from the Pacific coast and Ohio along the Deynze-Avelghem front in Belgium continued successfully the 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 Famars The Canadians. who engineered the drive, were supported by one of the heaviest artillery bombardments of the war. The guhfire was terrific. and this made the going easy for the overseas infantry which followed.
 The idea of the Canadians in using this great barrage was to crush the re- sistance as quickly as possible, so as to save allied lives. The bombardment had the desired effect, the effort offered by the enemy was not strong and the Cana dians pushed rapidly through thelr op- iectives which gave them the whole of the railroad line running south from yaleneiennes.
 TERRIBLE ENEMY CASUALTIES
 The enemys casualties were heavy and the Little Rhonelle river was lined "lth German dead. About noon the enemy rnassed for counter attacks from Saul tain. According to the latest reports the Canadian artillery was dealing Wltn the projected assault.
 At the same time the Canadians at tackled with other British troops and drove forward north of the city and forced a crossing of the Scheldt Aude- narde WAS arravelv threatened today. The lighting yesterday was of different na- ture. The German artillery maintained a heavy fire throughout the day and German machine gunners, scattered in great numbers throughout the sector, fought stubbornly until they were killed or compelled to surrender The main re- sistance came from these sources.
 FIGHTING IN OPEN
 The battle waged more or less over open ground, among ham1ets and farm houses, which still are inhabited by Bel gian civilians. Enemy machine gunners were stationed in practically every house and the civilians, who had no protection but their homes, covered indoors while the fierce fighting swirled about them.
 The Americans. had a hard day, but they did their bit. One unit of Ameri- cans from California, Oregon, Washing ton and other points in the west, was in the waereghem sector in front of Spitaals and the Besschem wood, while another element from Ohio was west of Crupshautem. Spitaals and the Bes- schem wood furnished one of the tough est bits of fighting along the line.
 The forest was a network of barbed wire and tie whole place was infested with machine gun nests.
