The Allies, meanwhile, have been

BRITISH ENTERING LILLE

LONDON. Oct. 16.-The great retreat
from Belgium is under full headway.
With the news that British forces had
entered Lille, main junction point for
all the railroads supplying western
Belgium, comes a slightly later des-
patch to the effect that all the Ger
mans in western Belgium and many
movement eastward.
So rapid and widespread is the re-
tIeat that allied infantry has lost all
contact with the enemy. French and
Belgian cavalry units are in the west
ein outskirts Of Thielt, seven miles
from the hent-Bruges Canal. and
only seventeen miles from the Holland
frontier.
Belgians advanced on the Thourout-
Bruges road. defeating the Germans
as they advanced. British. French
and Belgian cavalry is in action on all
parts Of the front pursuing the fleeing
Germans and harassing their retreat
in every way possible.
only q Marrow Neck Left.
Unless the Germans have already re-
moved their forces from the Belgian
coast cities It will be difficult for them
to get out now. The allied advance
toward the Dutch border has left only a
narrow neck OF land through which
these enemy forces can withdraw.
The British entrance into Lille prob
ably accounts for the widespread re-
treat. which military leaders on the
Entente side predicted would begin as
soon as the German High Command
saw its hold slipping on that French
city. Lille was the main supply point
for all the enemy forces in western
Belgium and northern France. 1t Is

way system which begins in Germany
! and leads westward through Metz,

that over roads and railroads OF limited
capacity.
