ROADS IN REAR OF BREACH IN LINE FILLED WITH FLEEING
 HUNS, GUNS AND SUPPLIES

brought back to freedom. On many other parts of the front being ad- vanced over more civilians have been released.
 In Flanders today the advance of the allied troops seemed slow because the bad roads and sOggy ground made it impossible for them to negotiate the terrain at many places. The soldiers fighting here are caked with mud Many of them have had to wade hip deep through the OOze while fighting their way forward.
 Again there has been fighting in the streets of Cambrai. especially in the southern portion of the town around which the British lines are slowly but steadily being drawn. It is expected that the town may fall at any time
 In the Lille sector the Germans are falling back eastward, leaving only rear guards behind to protect their retreat apparently they are headed for the canal De Hante Deule. which has almost been reached. especially in the southern portion of the sec tor.
 It now is definitely established that the Belgian troops did not actually hold Roulers. but. because it was at the peak of the wedge which they have driven into the German lines here. the advanced troops were drawn in a little in view of the possibility that the Germans had slight oppOr- tuuitv of cutting them off. Meanwhile the wedge in this region has been widened so that it seems that at the proper time the Belgians will take up their Roulers positions again Appar- ently they can do this at any time they desire.
 From civilians freed from the Ger mans in Flanders. it was learned today that the kings of Wurttemburg and Saxony both narrowly missed having something happen to them at Dadi- zeel- northwest of Menin. few days ago. Both monarchs were in the town when the British guns suddenly open ed mon it with a whirlwind lombard ment. They fled in a hurry and as far as is known. managed to get away safely.
 Some enlightening information was gained from these liberated Flemings- Some of them from Ledeghem said that ever since the Germans first came to their town in 1914. they had forced all civilians to sleep on the floors. while husky Germans occupied their beds Twenty-eight of the vii- Iagers were killed by the Germans. One of these was taken out. stood against a wall and shot. The villagers were fed bv the American commission for relief in Belgium. they said. but the Germans always took this food away from them and gave them their own German ratiOns. which invariably were bad and unfit to eat
 It was on the 2Sth of September that the Germans ordered the villagers Ot Ledeghem to evacuate the place. but many of them hid in cellars or in the suburbs of the town. where they re- mained until the British entered. The Germans told the villagers that they would like to surrender to the Scottish troops. but that the Scots had the nasty habit of cutting the thrOats of the Germans when they caught them. and therefore they were afraid to take a chance. The Germans. the villagers said, also told them terrible things the British would do to the villagers when they entered the town.
 According to the villagers many German horses have died in Flanders because there was no food of any kind for them and the German automobiles all are running on their rims because he Germans have no tires.
