FOE BUSY WITH TORCH
Country Behind German Lines in
Flanders Is Ablaze.
No Indications Are Seen of Fresh
Enemy Reserves on
British Front.

With the British Forces in Fran :e,
Oct. 5.-The British forces have made
progress in the region of Fresnoy-Le-
Grand, northeast Of St. Quentin,
though only meager reports of the bat
tie in that sector have been received.
The country behind the German
lines in Flanders is ablaze virtually
everywhere. From prisoners comes
the information that the Germans are
making hurried preparations to evac-
uate the dune country of Belgium
along the sea coast. Dugouts are be-
ing blown up there.
In the Armentieres sector, where
the retreat of the Germans continues,
tthe British are now we'll to the east
of Lens. Mericourt, southeast of Lens,

Civilians Moved From Courtrai.
The Belgians, together with French
troops, have reached a point two thou
sand yards south of Hooglede and one
thousand yards southeast of the
Capelle-Roulers road.
Civilians are being moved in a hurry
from Courtrai, fifteen miles east of
Ypres.
There are no signs Of fresh German
reserves anywhere. There is every
indication of disorganization not only
in the enemy infantry, but in the ar
tillery. Riots are reported to have
occurred among certain German units
in which even their officers particf.

RHEIMS IS DELIVERED
Americans and French Outright Foe
on 100-Mile Front-Retreat Ex-
tends From Lille to Cambria
in Champagne.

London, Oct. 8.-Outfought by the
French and Americans, the Germans
are %retreating on q wide front in the
Champagne sector between Rheims
and the Argonne forest. The enemy
has been caught between General
Bertl.elot's army on the west and Gen,
eral Gouraud's forces on the east and
is retiring nortilward toward the Re
tourne river.
1t may be possible for him to stand
back of that stream, but it seems i'm.
probable that there will be much of a
halt in the retreat until the Germans
reach the Aisne. General Berthelot's
advance in the Rheims region has
gravely menaced the enemy forces
south of the Retourne and, although
the r~etrograde movement is being COW
cred by rearguards, we'll supplied with
machine guns, it appears to be going
on rapidly. The French seem to have
reached the Suippe owe a wide front.
Americans Help Expel Huns.
American forces have been battling
brilliantly with Gouraud's army and
have aided materially in expelling the
enemy from. the Champagne sector,
and further east the Americans fight

the Mouse river are slowly clearing

of the enemy's position is being used

would appear to Justify the belief that
the hinge of the, foes lines may be

Boches Burn Villages.
Paris, Oct. THE Germans are
burning villages and towns behind
their lines along the whole front from
Lille to Rheims.
This is believed to presage a re-
tirement in several sectors. South of
Cambria the enemy is reported already
to have fallen back two miles on a
seven mile front.
Laon in Flames.
At least a score of places are in
flames. Laon, the great communica.

"The fighting will continue to the

the burning of villages. The great
