WH0[EF0ED DEFENSE
SYSTEM IN PERIL
Way Back to Germany Now
Lies Through Two Bot
tie NeckS.
ROAD TO BRUSSELS OPEN

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. October 1s.-Lille, Douai
and Ostend, three great cities, have
been delivered from the enemy. This
is the most glorious day for the allies
since the battle of the Marine and it
fittingly terminates a wonderful bat
tie of three months, which was opened
by Gen. Mangin's victorious counter
offensive on July 18. Many cities have
been liberated and hundreds of square
miles of territory retaken. The re-
suits have been splendid. But the vic
tory in Belgium is not all. The Erit-
ish south of LIE Cateau have broken
into the German positions and now
threaten the Hunding line.
The whole German defense system
eastward to the Meuse is in peril, as
the first result of forcing the Germans
back to the. Ghent-Tournat-yalen
ciennes line during yesterdays fight
ing has been to sap the enemy's de-
fenses before they have been able to
reach them farther south. without
exaggeration it may be said that the
prospects of the future are even more
important than the actual results at
tained, splendid though they may be.
Road to Brussels Open.
The road to Brussels is OPEN Ac-
cording to latest advices, the French
and Belgian armies are advancing
rapidly toward Bruges and Ghent.
The capture of Ostend makes it pos
sible to land reinforcements and
throw powerful forces against the ex-
treme right Of the German army.
Gen. Won Arnim's army is no longer
strong enough to sustain operations
on the extended front from the French
to the Dutch frontier. 1t is, there
march across Belgium will be rapid
and that King Albert will re-enter
his capital earlier than was hoped.
Would Flank Crown Prince.
At the very moment the Flanders
battle was won another offensive was
started in the direction of Hirson and
Vervins by Anglo-American and
French forces. The object is to take
the armies of the crown prince, under
shelter of the Hunding line, on the
flank and condemn them to an early
retreat toward the Ardennes across
the front of the powerful allied right
wing.
The way back to Germany lies
through two bottle necks, separated
by the Ardennes-the one between
Liege and ,Dinant and the other be-
tween Mohtmedy and Ver>lun. The
latter is already partly blocked.
While if NAV he admitted that q
Germans are fighting well and con-
ducting their retreat with great skill,
sober military opinion here is that
the great German military machine is
in danger of collapse at no very distant
date.

81 DEATHS IN SINGLE DAY

Strong hope is held out by the Dis

high record of the influenza has been
reached.
Despite this view there was an in

The official figures for the current
period are 954, as against SIT in the
similar period yesterday.
Strong denial was made today by
Health Officer Fowler that there was
under contemplation the quarantine
of the city or, so/ far as he had been
advised, any quarantine to be made
against the city by the government
or any outside cities or towns. He
said as the situation stood now such
action would be uncalled for.
All hospital cases are cared for at
the emergency influenza hospital, at
18th street and Virginia avenue, op-
Grated by the public health service
All calls for medical attention are
promptly attended to and many cases
are provided with nurses.
The need of trained. and unframed
nurses is urgent. The emergency hos
pital is fully equipped with the nee
eslals Automobiles meipi are badly needed to
transport physicians and nurses sent
out on sick calls. The regular hos
pital ambulances and police ambu-
lances are taking the sick to the hos
pital.
Twenty-Five portable hospitals, SINH

peditionary forces in France, were es-
ia ablished in Washington today to care
for influenza patients, for many of
