 BfoTe the Germans evacuated Bruges they issued circulars calling on all men between the ages of 16 and 45 years to appear at the office of the commandant. only 24O reported. Then German crieTs went about the streets, saying that those who failed to report would be severely dealt with Six hundred additional men answered the call and all were carted away from the city in trucks like cattle.
 The Germans removed all the brass from the city. even the hat racks from the famous Cafe Millecolmes. Prince Adelbert. a son of Emperor William. frequently dined here. Adel- bert, finding the place crowded with German officers at one time is re- ported to have said to his companions in English: Let's go to- some other place. This is crowded with boches. "
 The German officers had gay par ties in Bruges and in other places in Belgium, having as their guests hun dreds of German girl typists and clerks who had come to Belgium to take the places of men combed out for the army.
 Concrete forts, with walls ten feet thick, were scattered all over the place. Back of the town there are many lines of trenches. IL is appar- ent that the Germans believed it pos sible that they would be called upon to give battle to allied troops which would be landed on the coast.
 The scene at ZeebTugge is one of desolation The whole countryside was covered with searchhghts which had been smashed by British airmen. At the canal two British destroyers completely blocked the entrance. while a great hole in the mole shows where the British submarine was blown up during the raid last May.

tants took part in this fighting on the side of the enemy.
 'TOurnal and Valenciennes have been subjected to British fire. There have been successful fofefield en- gagements near Tournai and in the Scheldt lowlands.
 "On both sides of SOlesmes and Le Cateau the British, bringing up fresh divisions, resumed the attack on a front of about 20 kilometers (about F miles). Their attacks were launched with great objectives in view. In the Harpies region their first assault broke down early in the morning.
 Tn tn course of the day they ad- vanced in repeated attacks on both sides of Romeries as far as the neighborhood of St. Martin and Sa- lesches and with some attachments against Beaudignies. In the center of the battle front the enemy. who was attacking on both sides of the Roman road from Le Cateau to Bavai, was brought to a standstill on the Polk Bousies line. South of BOusies cyclist troops prevented the enemy from ad- vancing further.
 Southeast of Le Cateau several enemy assaults broke down. Between Pommereuil and Catiilon We held our positions against enormously superior forces. -rl
 South of Catillon attacks against the SambTe-Oise canal were held up by our fire. Between the Disc and the Serre there were intermittent artillery duels, followed by enemy at tacks on the north bank of the Serre. They were repulsed by our fire and counter attack. Partial enemy attacks against the Souche sector north of Pierrepont broke down. Mont Cornet, which is densely inhabited and packed with refugees, is being subjected to a strong French fire.
 East of the Aisne the enemy con fined himself yesterday to very strong partial attacks supported by violent fire. We held the heights northeast of Vouziers against assaults of the enemy which were resumed four times. Between Oliey and Grand Pre- W beat off attacks.
 "On both banks of the Mouse the American attacks against us assumed great extent From Bantheville wood and north of Cunel they ad- vanced against our lines with. strong forces, accompanied by tanks. They were repulsed, suffering heavy losses under our concentrated fire. East of the Mouse violent fighting for the wooded heights on both sides of Con senvoye-Damvillers road kept up until evening. In stiff fighting by success ful counter attacks the Americans were thrown back several times"

 This morning our battle front was ] extended northward as far as the l Scheldt at Thiant. On the whole front between the Sambre canal and | the Scheldt the enemy resistance was overcome. and our advance continued. There was hard fighting at a number of points.
 "On the right, the sixth division | fought its way to the edge of the Bois | L'Evcque and captured Ors. North of this point We are approaching the western outskirts of the Normal for est and have captured Robersart.
 "On the right center of our attack we have continued our advance to the neighborhood of Le Quesnoy.
 In the latter village the enemy is maintaining obstinate resistance. "On the left of our attack Anglo Scottish troops forced crossings of the Ecaillon, between Verchaine and Thi- ant and gained the high ground to the east.
 We have taken the villages of Poix Du Nord and Les Tuileries and pro Lgressed beyond them toward Engle- fontaine. The village of Ghissignies was taken after a sharp struggle. the enemy defending with determination the crossings of the Ecaillon in that vicinity.
 Northwest of Ghissignies we have secured the river crossings at Beau dignies, which is in our hands. Here vigorous resistance was overcome by the New Zealanders, who in this To- cality captured a number of batteries, including guns of heavy caliber.
 "On the left of our center the Eng fish captured Ruesnes and are a short distance from the Lequesnoy-Va ciennes railway, north of the village. There is heavy fighting on the high ground north of Bermerian village which we hold, and in the neighbor- hood of es-Sur-EcaillOn.

 A wild burst of enthusiasm greeted the announcement by the colonel .n command of the formation of the Czecho Slovak government after which the men listened in impressive silence to the coloners exhortations.
