NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-(Compiled
from news dispatches during the day.
In spite of the efforts of the Ger
rams to check the advance of the al
lies in Belgium, the British, French
and Belgians continue their sweeping
march from Tournai to the DltCh
frontier. Official reports show that
they have reached points within fen
Elilcs of Ghent.
More than 5000 prisoners were cap
tured by the British yesterday in the
operations north of LeCateau when
the Selle river was crossed ON wide
front, according to Field Marshal
Haig's statement today.
The Belgians are along the Dynze-
Eecloo canal which runs northward
from the Lys river to Zeebrugge, and
have taken a number of important
points near that waterway. Further
south the French have crossed the
Lys and have established bridgeheads
at various points,
Along the Lys and British second
army has moved swiftly toward the
Scheldt river and are at Pecq, on the
west bank of the river.
In this sector of the battleline, the
allies are moving toward the south
east and it seems they will be able
to reach Ghent with their main forces
in a very short time The Germans
have flooded some of the country, but
this has failed to interfere with the
progress of the armies commanded by
Albert
British and American troops are
fighting their way ahead along ten
mile front east of LIE Cateau. During
the past day they have advanced
mile on this line and appear to have
reached a point from which they Sc
riously threaten the railroad running
through Avesnes and Berlaimont.
