With the American Forces on the
Sedan Front, Nov. o.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. i'm their retreat west
OF the Mouse, according to reports
reaching American headquarters. the
Germans are destroying property
and cutting down trees along the
roadways, American aviators re-
ported today that the highway from
Stenay northward to Olizy-Sur-
CHEERS is blocked every few yards
by trees across the road. The de-
struction begins just beyond Stenay
and extends northeast and north
from one to three miles.
As an indication of the plight of
the retreating Germans it is known
that on the entire western front the
enemy has in reserve only one
division which has been out of the
battle one month. and four divisions
which have been resting from two
to four weeks. Two of the divisions
are east OF the Meuse.
The Germans, it is believed, have
used all their reserves on the front
opposite the Americans, the last
enemy division of reserves on this
sector having been thrown in the
desperate effort to stem the Ameri-

ton, which was bad before. now
may be said to be desperate.
The problem confronting the Ger

up briefly as follows:
The enemy has nine armies strung
out in semi-circular line from
Client to Mouzon, on the Meuse, a
distance of 100 miles. All that i'm

to Germany through Belgium, the
gap between Liege and Mouzon,
measuring only 20 miles.
The southern half and center OF
this gap is the most difficult country.

piled with roads. II the Namur-
Liege region is occupied by the al
lies before the Germans south OF
the Sambre are able to get away
and cross the Meuse, they will be
virtually surrounded.

armies are less than so miles from
Namur. The Germans on the Serre

Germany's Fuel Oil and
Gasoline SUPPLIES Cut Off

Washington, Nov. 6.-One effect
of the elimination of Austria from
the war, the fuel administration an
nounced tonight, will be the cutting
off of Germany's supplies of fuel oil
and gasoline.
Germany has been obtaining fuel
oil and gasoline from Galatia and
Roumania, and was planning to i'm
port extensively from the Caucasus,
the announcement says, but under
the terms of the Austrian armistice
all traffic between Germany and her
former ally must stop
Within the German borders there
are no supplies of fuel oil, and in
formation possessed by the fuel ad-
ministration is that Germany has
been using benzol, a derivative OF
coal tar, for lubricating oil. This
latter source, it was said, will not
supply German needs.

Undoubtedly the Austrian high
command had built largely for sue

morale had been shattered. The first
onslaught the enemy met rejuvenat-
ed army which fought calamity, never
ceding an inch unless it was dearly
paid for. Aiding the Italians in the
mountains were British and French
armies. Territory taken in the noun
tains was almost as quickly regained
and the enemy held in check.
Along the Pave, especially on the
Monticello plateau, the gateway to the
Venetian plains from the northeast
and at several points farther south
where the Austrians succeeded in
crossing the river, the Italians every
where imposed such strength against
the enemy that he was unable to en-
large his gains and then, with re-
doubled efforts, forced him to COM
mence the retrograde movement which
has developed into disordered flight.

The soldier-author with this play

said:
Prospective soldiers can learn here

AUSTRIANS ARE ROUTED

GERS is the rout of the invaders.
With their backs to the swollen
Piave the Austrians for several days
past had been trying to ward off the
vicious counter attacks of the Italians
and save the situation. Now they are
endeavoring, and still under great
pressure, to ford the stream and reach
safety on the eastern bank.
From the Montello plateau to the
Adriatic sea the enemy is in retreat
Already his losses are estimated at
100000 men and the chances of his
escape without additional heavy casu-
alties and men made prisoner seems
remote.
Bombing Retreating Forces
Large numbers of the pontoon
bridges that the Austrians threw
across the Piave have been swept
away by the now torrential stream,
and on all the sectors of the 33-mile
front where they gained edges of the
Venetian plateau they are being

Empey proves that life in the trenches
is not all gloom by any means. He
says:
