ne Gefman armies are in full ! flight before the British, American and French forces on the front be- | tween Cambrai and St. Quentin | Cambrai, the strong point of the en- emy in this region, has been taken by the Canadians in it's entirety and north of Cambrai, the Canadians have deeply penetrated the German line. Out in the open east of what once was the old Hindenburg line, cavalry is hustling the retreating foe in what virtually amounts to a rout. So fast is the retreat, that columns of the allied troops in parade formation have passed through numerous Vil- lages, completely out of contact with the Germans.
 More than 10000 prisoners and be- tween 100 and 200 guns were Captured in Tuesdays fighting and the contin- uation of the battle. Wednesday, re- suited in further large captures.
 Penetrate Ten Miles.
 In the fighting 23 German divisions more than quarter of a million men-have been severely manhandled.
 The maximum depth of the advance is between eight and ten miles. The Germans are declared to be fleeing to the east of Le Cateau, one of the most important railroad centers in this re- zion.
 Behind them. the Germans are leav- ing the country devastated burning towns and villages as they flee.
 The formidable German defense system between Cambrai and St Quentin has been utterly demolished and British, American and French troops are out in the open country eastward in pursuit of the retreating enemy
 Cambra Taken At Last.
 Cambrai, tho pivotal point in the former line and over which there has been so much bitter fighting. is in British hands: numerous villages and hamlets to the south have been overrun by the allies and thousands of Germans have been made prisoners and hundreds of their guns captured.
 The victory. seemingly is a com plete one. and with General Foch' S strategy working smoothly in bend ing back the German line in one great converging movement, the Germans apparently are in a serious predica ment From the region northwest of Reims to the Mouse river, north oi Verdun. the French and Americans are slowly but surely pushing the Germans backward toward the Bel gian border.
 Retreatnq in Macedonia In Macedonia and Asiatic Turkey, the troops of the entente still have the enemy on the run. Nowhere is the en- emy able to do more than fight retard ing battles. giving ground when the pressure becomes too strong. | Under the avalanche of steel hurled against them on the Cambrai St Quentin sector the Germans could not i live and were forced to flee eastward 1 Heavy casualties were inflicted on those of the enemy who had the temer- | ity to endeavor to make a stand. On | the other hand, the casualties of the allies are declared to have been rela- lively smll. those of the Americans being less than half the number ot prisoners taken by them.
 Where the enemy purposes to make l his next stand cannot be foretold, but probably an effort for turn about vii be atteHpted along the Nalenciennes- Sedan front. After this line the only known German defensive position Wes of the Rhino is the Mouse river. Tho l Americans already are threatening tt  make this line untenable, having started an advance upon the valley oI the eastern side of the stream toward Sedan.
 Try to Save St. Gobain The maneuvers of the French north west of Reims are cutting more deenl, into the German line, despite the ser ious resistance that is being offered b! the enemy to postpone the fall of tn great St. Gobain ~-nssif and the highl, important strategic positions of Laol and La Fere, which seemingly are like ly to be pinched out of the battle iron by the successful operations around St Quentin and Berry -Au Bac.
 Strong resistance also is being i'm posed by the Germans against furthe advances by the I~ench and American in Champagne and east of the Argonn forest. Particularly heavy counter at tacks have been launched by the enem on various positions, but without re suits other than in increasing his cas ualties. Along the Suippe river, tn fighting is furious: but the Frenc
