LONDON. Oct. 1.-The Bel gian official statement reads:
 The attack began on october II has been completely success ful. On the whole Flanders front the beaten enemy has given way to our pressure. To the left. over coming the difficulty of ground flooded for four years, we have crossed the Yser in pursuit of the enemy.
 We have entered Ostend and reached the line Oudenburg- Zedelghem -Ruddervoorde."
 Our cavalry has reached the outskirts of Bruges. We have shelled the enemy retreating to- wards Eecloo. The French have captured Wynghene and reached the outskirts of Thielt.
 The Belgians have reached the confluence of the canal La Man del and the Lys and have lined the river as far as Harlebeke. where they joined the British. Liberated Belgians received the allies with indescribable enthusiasm
 "On the left flank of our at tack we cleared the eastern portion of Le Cateau and established our selves on the line of the railway beyond the town. The enemy was holding his positions in force, seven German divisions being disposed on the front of our attack, and in the course of the days fighting they delivered a number of deter mined counter attacks. All these attacks were repulsed and heavy losses inflicted on the enemy. More than 5000 prisoners were taken in these operations.
 Threatened by the continued progress of allied attacks south of the Sensee and north of the Lys, the enemy is hastening his re- treat from the salient at Douaf and Lille.
 Today our troops entered the town of Douai, having broken the resistance of the enemy's rear guard on the line of the Haute Deule canal. Troops of the fifth British army under General Bid wood, having pressed the enemy S rear guards back with great de- termination for many weeks past, have today encircled and captured Lille"

 Little wire was encountered, for the enemy had not had time to lay more than a few strands. New points taken nearly a mile on the other side of the river means that the Le Cateau-Nalen- ciennes line has been turned. The Ger mans are unable to send endorsements here in any number for they are handi capped by the same considerations that prevent them from sending help to the tattered divisions which have been fighting in Flanders.
 To Cut Ghent Canal
 Thousands of civilians have been re- leased. How many prisoners and guns have been captured is unknown. but the number of prisoners cannot be large for the Germans have been going so fast that they have not had time to re- move their heavy pieces.
 A force of Belgians, assisted by French cavalry and infantry, is re- ported to be driving northward to strike the bridges on the east and also cut the Ghent canal. Wide possibili- ties exist in this movement.
 From Le Cateau southwark the British. assisted by American units. attacked this morning and by night were well on the other side of the Selle river, striking toward the Disc canal. At one place they were less than 300 yards from it's banks.
 The fighting today has been hard everywhere along the line. Strong and determined rear guards were encoun- tered. These were especially active north of l. Cateau.

 Tn the Selle sector the enemy penetrated our lines near Haussy. Cyclist battalions threw back the enemy by a counter attack and re- captured the old positions.
 The bombardment of Domain by British artillery continues. It has caused a further loss of life among the French inhabitants and refu- gees.
 There are intermittent artillery duels on the Disc front. Renewed attacks by the French north of Origny were repulsed.
 "On the Aisne and on the Aire, strong French attacks broke down before our new lines west of Grandpre.
 East of Aire, American attacks, the main thrust of which was di- rected against Champagnuille and Tandress, was repulsed. Both places were held by us. The heights southwest of Landres re- 'mained in the hands of the enemy after fluctuating fighting.
 "On the east bank of the Mouse, renewed attacks of the enemy broke down. In resisting the enemy who advanced west of Flabas with tanks, the Landwehr division there especially distinguished itself"

RAILROAD MEN HERE TO AID LOCAL BOARD
 IN CLASSIFICATION

c. F. Hawks. general manager of the Fl Paso X Southwestern railroad. and ~ M. Scott, general manager, of the Arizona Eastern railroad, have been delegated by Hale Holden, regional di- rector, to represent the United States Railroad Administration in personally interviewing the District Draft Boards and the industrial advisors for the states of New Mexico and Arizona, for the purpose of explaining the necessi- ties for deferred classification for cer- tain classes of railroad employees, and that there may be no misunderstanding of the intent of the railroad adminis- | tration in claiming such deferred classification for these employees. They will be in Phoenix today. only. It is not the intention of the railroads to claim deferred classification on be- half of unskilled men or men whose work can be done by unskilled men, or men over the draft age. or women.
 The scarcity of railroad employees is in part due to the fact that up to the present time the railroads of the coun- try, in addition to meeting their full share of the demands of the military service, have been subjected to the pe- culiar disability that they alone, out of all the industries of the country, have furnished large numbers of men for l special military service. Hundreds of miles of railroads in France are being | operated by military forces of the | United States who have been drawn | from the ranks of eligible officers and | employees of the railroads of this | country. In this. the drain upon
 skilled labor has already been propor- | uonately greater than the drain upon
 labor of other industries, and this in
 part accounts for the exceptional
 shortage of d skilled railroad labor
 which confronts the United States
 Railroad Administration.
