TRY TO CHECK
 FRENCH; DAMS
 TURNED LOOSE
Debeney Meets With Stout
 Resistance; Germans Put Three Fresh Divisions In Front For Death Struggle

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. 25.-(By The Associated Press l-General Debeney's attack be. tween Mont D'Oriany and the Valley of tho Serre IS meeting with stout resls- tsnce. The battle was raging again flercely today around Villers- Le Sec, which was occupied by the French troops.
 The Germans have brought up three fresh divisions to this sector in the last ic~ days and appear determined to dis nute possession of every foot of ground. They arc particularly favored by the character of the terrain which is brok- en, furnishing strong natural obstacles which the enemy has utilized to the ut most by adding field Qualifications up- cn which they have been working by four weeks.
 The position General Debeney's men are attacking from Ribecourt southeast Co the valley of the Serre is called the Herman Position by the Germans. Considerable ot its general characteris- tlcs has been learned from captured or oers and the reports of aviators. This s not supposed to have the same strength as the Hindenburq line but is sufficiently strong to permit of a stout defense. Behind this line, auain, there fs extension of the Funding position in trent Of Guise, to which the Germans no doubt will retire when the present battle is finished.
 ln the valley of the Disc the Germans have torndably strengthened the nat ursl defenses by artificial floods from the region Of Guse southward to La Fere. Dams prepared Iona 70 for use in the eVentualitY of retreat have en- ahlcd the Germans to divert the waters ~ the Disc and spread them through the valley. They also have another water line in the valley of the Serre to protect their present positions.
 ln spite of the formidable obstacles encountered and almost constant ser wee in the fighting line for the last three months, the forces of General Debeney continue to forge ahead.
 The tactics of the Germans appear to bs Co hold as long as they can on their chosen positions, retiring to one after ancthcr as circumstances require and icrcina the French troops to deliver an attack to drive them from each haltina riace. This plan, aided by the nature cf the ground over which they are re- urine. obliues the Germans to make a-cst saerifes as is shown by the in- creased number of dead found on the battle field.

HUN'S RAW TROOPS
 FORGED INTO FIGHT

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE AND FLANDERS, Oct. 25.- CBy the Associated Press)-The heavy losses whifb the Germans have sus- tained since the allied offensive began have forced the enemy to use raw troops brought from the eastern front. The enemy now has 195 divisions on the western front, or which 1S3 are Ger man infantry divisions, excluding 31 divisions withdrawn after they had suffered severe casualties during the past two weeks and six Austro- Hun- garian divisions.
 There are only F enemy divisions available in reserve on this front, and none of these are fresh. The desperate situation which the enemy is facing appears to be fully appreciated by many of the German people, according to let ters captured along the front.

NEW LIBERTY FUR
 OPPRESSED PLANNED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 25.-With all its aims clearly defined. the confer ences of the democratic mid European union. which have been going on in Independence Hall came to an end to- day. Tomorrow. a new liberty will be proclaimed here for these small op- pressed nations, whose delegates de- clare that there must be an absolute freedom for all the races therein.
 That nothing short of an absolute plebescite can be accepted for the new states was declared today by Professor Masaryk. president of the council, who said there must be a vital minority representation, one that must be granted unrestricted rights.
 Discussion of boundaries caused some discord among the delegates to- day and led to heated arguments and the threat of a Jugo-Slav delegate to withdraw from the conference after he had torn to shreds a small map showing the location of each nations territory
 Much interest was created by the arrival today of a delegate from Jeru- salem, representing the Jews in Pales- tine. Telegrams were read from var ious racial groups in this country con- graduating the council on the great work it is doing.

Battle Summary
(By The Associated Press)

The Germans in Belgium and France still are stubbornly resisting the at tempts of the entente allied forces to break through their lines and bring about an immediate collapse of their defensive positions.
 On the whole they are succeeding, but nevertheless on all salient positions under attack the enemy line gradually, but slowly is being forced backward.
 Italian Front
 On the northern Italian battle front between the Brenta and Pive rivers the Austrians are being put to the test in a new attack by British. French and Italian troops. while in Mesopotamia the British again have gone on the of fensive against the Turks and at last accounts, were making considerable progress.
 Albania and Serbia
 In Albania and Serbia the operations of the allied forces are tending to- ward the slow but sure evacuation of the invaded districts by the enemy forces.
 Tn the northern French theater the British are centering their efforts south of Vslencinenes to cave in the salient between that city and Le Quesnoy and move on toward the i'm portant junction town of Maubeuge, with the two-fold purpose of finally encompasing Nalenciennes and reach ing the Belgian border.
 Germans Fight Hard
 Everywhere the Germans are offer ing the stiffest of resistance but never theless they have been compelled to give up the town of Maing and most of the intervening points sOuthward along the railway to Le Quesnoy, which now is all but in British hands.
 Between Disc and Serre
 Between the Disc and Serre rivers American naval gunners with 16-inch guns have joined the French in their efforts to hammer their way northeast ward toward Hirson, one of the key positions on the German line. Amer ican shells from these guns are being hurled against both Vervins and Ro- Zoy. Further progress has been made by the French in this region but only | after the hardest kind of fighting Likewise on both sides of the Mouse river the Americans have advanced their line notwithstanding the strong resistance of the enemy.
 North of Grand Pre- North of Grand Pre-, which lies in the | valley above the famous Argonne for

Numerous violent coun ! ter attacks have been launced by the Germans against the Americans, but all these have been successfully sus. | tained. The Germans in this regior now are badly outflanked by the FrencI standing on the left of the American | line at Vouziers and it is probable they soon will be compelled to readius their entire line from the north of You ziers to the region of Etain.

Enemy Driven Back

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE AND FLANDERS, Oct. 25.- Il p. m. (By the Associated Press).- The British troops tonight were on the outskirts of Le Quesnoy, having driven forward across the Le Quesnoy-V -Valen- ciennes railway after heavy fighting.
 The enemy appears to have retreated from a considerable portion of the ground in this zone.
 British patrols late today were oper- ating in the Le Quesnoy region, while British infantry had reached the high ground north of Maresches and were attacking the German positions there.
 Today's advance greatly increases the menace to the Germans holding Valenciennes which is rapidly being bottled up.
 If a line were drawn through the po- sitions now held by General Horne's army in the north and General Byng's forces on the south, it would pass well to the east of Valenciennes. Should the British continue their forward pressure as it has been pressed for the last three days. the enemy will be forced to evacuate Valenciennes.
 When the British attacked this morn ming they held Nendegies and the high ground east of that place. From these points they drove off before daylight into the ridge country north and east
 The details of the fighting here are not yet available but it is known that the British pushed through early in the day and were still going ahead.
 The British second army, attacking in conjunction with the French on the northern battle front, fought its way steadily forward in the face of theavy artillery fire and captured Moen. in Flanders. The French are reported to be making good progress on the British | left.
