(By Associated Press.

German forces in Belgium still retiring eastward
toward new defensive line, while the British French and
Americans southeast of Cambria driving wedge into
the German defenses north Of the Disc.
Client 81 miles northwest of Brussels, the Belgian
capital is reported to have been reached by French
airy Reports received in Holland to the effect that
the Germans have begun to remove their troops from
Brussels There is evidence that the defense line
may be established east of that city,
All along the front in Belgium from the coast to east
of Courtra the allied troops pushing forward but
somewhat slowly than early in the week except along
the coast German units reported to be holding out
in the port of Zeebrugge while Belgian troops the
canal running south from Zeebrugge to Bruges Itwoud
seem these troops will be off and either forced to
render or flee to Holland.
Southeast Of Cambria the allies have made a wide
breach in the German line along the lower See the
Sambre canal and continue to fight their way eastward
The British and French Offices report the capture of
more than 4200 prisoners in the fighting here and
score of villages On the north the British within
two miles of the Sambre canal. The French have taken
Andgny forest and have reached the canal front OF
nearly nine miles south of the forest The allied wedge
made pockets to the north and south The Germans
withdrawing from the southern pocket with the French in
close pursuit
Not of the 40 airplanes which took part in the
alAmerican bombing raid behind the German lines north
west of Verdun Friday failed to return.

The total number of subscribers now
exceeds $500 and the top notch reached
in bonds is $732, 900, as shown by tab
ulations this morning This is an in
crease of $40,S0o over the amount an
nounccd yesterday.
Although the method of assigning
quotas made that for Brattleboro exces-
slve the committee went forward with
its work and has carried it on with
undaunted courage. The work of the
campaign necessarily has been harder
than for any previous drive Not only
was the quota more than double that
of the third loan, but the influenza
epidemic has prevented any public
gatherings since the opening day of
the campaign, making it necessary for
the canvassers to call at many homes,
and the attention of many people has
been turned 10 the care of those i'll in
their homo rather than to thoughts of
investing money in bonds.
