ALLIES NEAR CAM }RAI
French Advance Toward st. Quentin
and Cross Oise-Aisne Canal
After Five DAYS Battle

Paris, Sept 10.-North of the Somme
French troops have made another adj
vance in the direction of Clastres and
have occupied Lomot farm, according
to the war office announcement, and
have crossed the CrOZat canal oppo-
site Liez, three miles southwest of
Vendeuil
AS the allied armies draw neaH to
Cambria, st. Quentin and the natural
defensive positions of the Germans in
the St. Gobain forest the offensive is
losing momentum
Slow progress continues to be made
by British forces in the direction of
Cambria and st. Quentin and if the,
operations of the French armies are
successful in encircling the st. Gobain
massif the German retreat must begin
anew and with greater rapidity.
The British are within six miles of
st. Quentin at Villevque and have cap
tured Roisel and st. Emile Along
the line between Cambria and st.
Quentin the British advance has car
ried them into their old positions,
from which they were driven by the
Germans last March.
Strong counter attacks against the
French near LaffauX and north of
Celles- Sur-Aisne seem to bear out the
belief that the Germans will not give
up ST. Gobain without struggle. In
addition to- the protection it affords
Laon, the st. Gobain position, if cap
tured, would weaken the entire Ger
man line eastward toward Rheims.
Northwest of st. Gobain the French
have taken Nemesis and Tergnier
and are threatening La Fere. On the
edge of the forest the French have
penetrated the outskirts of Servais.

ABOUT THE WAR.

British troops Friday captured
Neuve Chapelle and Bussu.
British casualties during the week
ending Sept. totaled 1889.
The British have gained ground
along the Vermand-Epehy line.
Since Aug. s, 465 enemy machines
have been brought down by British
airmen.
The British have captured the city
OF Lens. The town of Queant also
has been taken.
More than $4,000 prisoners were
taken by the British in France in the
first week of September.
In Flanders the British forces have
captured theN town of Wulverghem,
two miles southeast of KENNEL.
"On the battlefront we are every
where in our new POSITIONS says the
German official communication issued
Sunday at Berlin.
Mont st. Quentin has been taken by
the Australians, together with Feuil-
laucOurt. In this surprise attack more
than 1,500 prisoners were takeM
Continuing their pressure along the
front from Rheims to Ypres, the al
lied forces are pushing back the Ger
mans on virtually this entire 15O-mile
line.
The American troops advancing
from the Vesle have captured the
town of Glennes, southeast of Revil-
lon, and have advanced their lines as
far as the outskirts of Villers-e en-
Prayeres, on the Aisne.
The French have occupied Vaux,
Fluquieres and HappencoMt, north of
the Somme, as well as Hamel, accord
ing to the war office announcement.
They have also made advances on
both sides of the Disc.
On the western outskirts of the
bastion of St. Gobain, defending
Laon, the French, already at Barisis,
are in advance of the line they occu-
pied in 1917, and further south below
the main bastion are standing on
ground which has not been in allied
hands since 1914.
The advance continues along the
entire front in the direction of Cam
brai, st. Quentin, La Fere, Anizy-le-
Chateau and the Chemin des Danes.
Advices say the French and British
are meeting with stubborn resistance.
This is taken as an indication the
enemy intends to make a stand along
this line, which roughly follows the
Hindenburg entertainments. General
Humbert's army continues it's pres
sure against Tergnier and La Fere
The operations toward the encircle-
ment of st. Gobain forest are giving
the allies a strong position eff the
enemy loses much more ground in
this region his defense of Chemin des
Danes and the plateau of Craonne
will fall" says Marcel Hutin, editor
of the Echo de Paris

under arrest pending the outcome OF

The allied powers have demanded
the release of the prisoners and
warned Bolshevik authorities that
they will be held personally respon-
sible for their safety.

Amsterdam. = The soviet govern
ment of Russia is willing to prepare
for the exchange of diplomats with
Great Britain if the neutral 1Owers
will undertake to guarantee that the
Bolshevik representatives at London
are given a safe conduct home.
From Olovganna to Penza, a dis
lance of 1000 miles, Czecho-Slovak
forces hold the railway, it was stated.
This indicates the CzechO-Slovaks
have penetrated more important areas
of Russia, loosening the Bolshevik
grip. j..
Dispatches indicate that German ar
tillery is lending aid to the Bolsheviki
west of Volga, from Penza to north OF
Kazan. These said the Bolshevik were
gaining strength there because of this
Teuton aid.
An official report is that the Boil
sheviki had retaken Samara. If this
report is true, Orenburg, Simbirsk and
other important cities in that district
are in danger.
