the plan enthusiastically and thereby added
ono more to its already long list Of activities
on behalf Of our enlisted men. Many CRATE

Paris, Sept. 21-Thursaay saw both the British and French armies in ricardy materially develop their plans for the eventual enveloping of St. Quentin and Cambrsi. The British made further gains around Gouzeau- court and east of Ephey, while the French, striking southeast of St. Quen- tin, brought the southern part of their nipper into better position for the squeeze against the town, which daily seemingly is growing nearer. r.
 More than 10000 prisoners and in excess of 60 large guns fell into the haEals of the British during the big operation begun by Field Marshal Haig Wednesday northwest of St. Quentin. In addition, extremely heavy losses were inflicted on the Germans in the frontal, attacks and during violent German counter-sttacks in an enSeavor to recover their losses of ground. So badly was tue enemy haHmereaI during this fighting th@t he did not attempt Thursday to stir from his trenches, except near Ephay and Gouzeacourt, and to give i.stless 1battle on isolated sectors to the south.
