BERLIN (DAY). - There were
infantry engagements on the Scheldt
lowlands.
On the battlefield between the
Scheldt and the Disc we have with
drawn from the enemy. The enemy
who intended yesterday after the
strongest artillery fire, to resume
his assaults attacked positions
which had been evacuated. In n
further advance in the evening he
was engaged by our rearguards in
isolated combats which assumed
large proportions in the Normal
Forest and southeast of Landrecies.
In the evening the enemy positions
ran west of Bavai, along the eastern
edge of the Normal Forest, east Of
Landrecies and east Of Guisc.
Between the Disc and the Meuse
also we have carried out large move
ments. The enemy followed in the
course of the dav and west of the
Aisne reached the general line of
Marle-Dizly-le- Gros-Ecly. East Of
the Aisne we are in fighting contact
with him north Of lie Chesne and
west Of Beaumont. Strong enemy

We're repulsed.
South of Dun the Americans ad-
vanced across the Meuse. under a
violent protecting fire and pene-
trated the woods and heights east
of the Meuse between Milly and
Vilosttes. We threw back the enc
my who was advancing on Fontaines,
in the centre of the battlefront, and
recuptured the Bois de lEpinois.
The fighting ended on the ridge of
heights east of the Meuse. On the
east bank of the Meuse we beat off
renewed American attacks east Of
Siyry and in the Bois de Etraye.

rearguards, and some hundreds of
prisoners have been taken by US.
On our light our troops, pushing

Marbaix: In the centre, driving the
enemy from his hastily constructed
defences on the east bank of the
Sanbre, we have crossed the river
above Berlaimont and have captured
Leval and Aulnoye. where We have
taken prisoners. The important rail-
way junction of Aulnoye is in our
possession.
Further north we have crossed the
Avesnes- Bavai Road east of Normal

Borrowed Baseball Suits
Usually Bring Victory

One way a team could be assured of a victory in every stop on a
trip would be to lose its uniforms. The dope shows that when a Wis
iting club appears on the field athred in the regalla Of the home forces
it generally manages to defeat the residents.
Last season, on their way east. the st. Louis Cardinals lost their
baggage and had to meet the Superbas in clothing for which Charles
Hercules Ebbets had paid. The result was a 9 to 2 victory for Jack
Hendricks team.
Three years previously the 81. Louis Browns reached Detroit minus
uniforms, and, attired in Tiger toys, they defeated the Junglemen
