BRITISH MENACE
VALENCTENNES
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

PARIS, Oct. 19.-The British are
making progress in their new blow,
which menaces Valenclennes, only
seven miles distant.
French and Americans are press
ing back the German left west of
Metz Thus the boche armies are
gradually being squeezed into the
bottle neck between Metz and AK
la-Chapelle. 1t is believed here
that Ludendorff hopes to give gen.
eral battle somewhere between the
present line and that line. but b :
then his armies will be demoralized
and broken and incapable of great
effort.
The feeling is that IL the allies
do not relent. but increase their ef-
forts, the Germans will be crushed
then, IL not before. 1t was this
knowledge which drove the German
military leaders into asking for an
armistice.

performance several times while half
the city's population stared in open
mouthed wonder.
AS a climax to the show, the two
scout planes mixed in a combat that
lacked only the rattle OF machine guns
to make II the real thing.
Nose dives. tail spins, every stunt
known to science. was employed by
Lieutenant Leonhardt and Eddie Stin-
son in their fight. They circled. drop
ped, climbed and dipped in a series OF
thrillers that left their audience
breathIess. Time and again 1t seemed
as though one or the other would
surely come to grief.
Climbing to a height of a mile or
so, first one aviator and then the
other would dive for his opponent.
After getting in contact with the
foe" a series of mlnsuvSrs took
place that had all the appearance OF
actual warfare. Ths failing lc2f"
and the nose dive were pulled time
and again, and when the scouts finally
made of for home a hundred thou
sand war workers and just plain citi-
zens took deep breaths and ribbed
stiff necks.
Distribute Leaflets.
While the Individual battle was
raging, the Curtis planes circied over
the downtown district and distributed
Liberty loan literature. The AFFAIR
was a climax to the six-week cam
paign that put Washington we'll over
the top on its Liberty loan quota
In addition to Stinson and Lieuten-
ant Leonhardt, the following officers
of the Signal Corps participated:
Lieutenants Tilson, Logg, and Edger-
ton, in the De Haviland bombing
planes; Lieutenants Lucas, Adams.
Landborn, Rowell, Webster. and La
Prade, in the Curtiss battle planes,
and Lieutenants Curtiss, Boggs, and

planes.

use at the front was employed In to-

GAINS SUMMARIZED
BY GENERAL MARCH.

The Germans. in four days this
week, relinquished 500 square miles
OF territory. long held. Chief Of Staff
March stated today.
At the same time he revealed that
the British were reported to have
reached the Holland frontier opposite
Bruges.
March characterized the news from
the west front and all other fronts the
past week as increasingly good.
Keeps Up Pressure.
General Foch, he said, had kept up
the pressure all along the line, allow
ing the boche no rest whatever.
When last he spoke, March noted
that the enemy was retiring on a
sixty-mile front between the Oise and
Argonne. During this week this re-
treat extended over a front of 25O
miles. French and American troops
between st. Gobain forest, Chemin Des
DANES and the Argonne have pushed
through to the Hunding line. The
freeing of 500 square miles was &C
complished in only four days.
March noted the creation OF a sharp
salient between the Oise andthe Serre,
pressure between Aulnoye, one OF the
allied main objectives, and the drive
in Flanders, toward Bruges, Client
and Turcouing.
The Flanders drive he noted was
still, continuing, with the British now
reported at the Holland frontier, op-
posite Bruges.
