This having been accomplished. the
Belgians, British and French in the
north started a sweeping movement to-
day pivoting on point about east of

be the clearing of the enemy from his

The key position at the south is in the
region below Valenciennes At both places

ranks have had great holes chopped into

the greatest desperation.
Scores of Villages Reclaimed.
The German commanders are sacri-
ficing many men in their endeavors to
hold their ground. but in both sections
the allied troops have smashed into the
enemy and made appreciable gains.
Scores Of additional villages have been
reclaimed and numerous prisoners and
large quantities Of supplies have been
captured.
British kept thrusting out everywhere
and gradually during the day moved
forward toward the west bank OF the
Scheldt with increasing celebrity. Tho
Germans have taken advantage of the
natural protection offered by the width
of this stream and its canal and marshy
borders. They are hiding behind It in
shallow trenches and are showing ner-
vousness as the Allies approach nearer.

At tho present time. however, the
Allies are not hampered in tho least, for
| the Germans were put to such hurried
flight that they had little time to take
their artillery and vast stores OF ammu-
milton with them. These fell into the
hands of the allied troops. and the guns
were promptly turned around and shells

original owners. Infantrymen thus had
novel experience in serving artillery.

WAsHINGToN. Oct. 81. - Release OF
about 100000 or 100000 tons of ship
ping in the ports of Holland is looked
for among officials in charge OF ship
ping matters here as result of the
evacuation of the Belgian coast by
the Germans. Many OF these vessels
have been tied UP since the declaration
of unlimited submarine warfare early
in 1917
Virtually all the Dutch merchant
ships have remained either in Holland
or in neutral ports because of a Ger
man submarine base on both the north
and south sides of Holland. With the
allied nsvies again in complete control
of the English Channel the Dutch ships
are able to travegse the lanes to the
south without coming in direct con-
tact with German submarine bases.
The withdrawal OF the Germans opens
land route for trade between Holland
and France, and for the first time since
tho outbreak of war in 1914 the re-
sumption of commercial relations be-
tween those countries is looked for.
TIE Dutch merchants have been in
formed by the Allies already that the
sale of clothing and food supplies to
the civil populations In the reoccuped
area will be welcomed. Ways and
means of restoring the railroads and
canals in western Belgium are under

Because Of No Vacancy In Can
adam Aviation Corps, He
s. Returns To Honolulu

Henry i. BccklPy, who went to
Canada three weeks ago to enlist in the
meC hanical end Of the aviation corps
of the Canadian forces, returned Wed
nesday, because there were no vacan-
cies in the corps, and he was placed
on the waiting list. Rather than wait
in Canada until he might be called,
he decided to return to Honolulu, lcav-
ing his name. however, with officials
with whom he is acquainted and an
,nOuncing he would go back to Canada
whenever called.
He was kr"nIy disappointed that
he could not Immediately enter the
war service. He had no idea Of be.
coming an aviator, but felt that his
knowledge of motors and mechanics
would secure him an enlistment.
He said that most Of the cOntin-
gent which went from Hawaii at the
same time will cutter the particular
branches for which they applied. The
Vancouver Sun of March %, had the
following account of the arrival of the
Hawaiian rontingent:
"To join the flying corps, Henry
! Beekley, native Of Hawaii, who is a
member Of one Of the most noted Ha-
waiian families, has arrived in Van
cOuVer, coming on the Canadian Aus
tralian liner. lie is stopping with his
cousins, the AtcherIey family, Of this
city, and Miss Taylor. The disting-
: uished young native is determined to
do his bit, and believes he will be
found especially fitted for the aviation
service. Upon his departure from HO-
, nolulu he was the recipient of the
good wishes of the native population
and Americans and Britishers, with
whom he is equally popular. The
young man chose to Join the Canadian
corps in preference to the American,
believing he could reach the fighting
line sooner thereby.
Further evidence of the patriotism
of Britishers, wherever located, ar.
rived on the Canadian Australian liner,
and twenty recruits have been adsled
to the British forces. When the liner
reached Honolulu twenty stalwart
young men, headed by John Gran of
Vancouver, went aboard. There were
sixteen Brtishers, two Jamaica negroes,
one native of the Hawaiian Islands
and one young man who was born in
Honolulu of British parents. Four of
the number have had military expert
ence in thf British army and they are
going to join up in the old country,
but the rest will enlist in Vancou
yer. All of the new recruits have
spent years in the Hawaiian Islands,
