Next to the south comes the st.
Quentin sector and there the French
under General Debeney won a great
victory, capturing the city after ire
mendous fighting, which was fiercest in
and about the st. Quentin canal. This
place was one Of the keystones of the
Hindenburg line and Its capture as
sured the retirement OF the Germans
on a wide front. Immediately north of
st. Quentin the British were engaged
by enemy reserves of stormlng troops
and the fighting was furious. But the
British succeeded In breaking through
the German line on the Beauvolr-Wian-
court front and created salient that
greatly helped in the capture Of St.
Quentin by the French.
Between the Disc at La Fere and
the Aisne the French pushed on to-
ward Laon and succeeded In passing
beyond the elaborate system of water
ways that comprised the chief defense
of the enemy and reaching open coun-
try where the tanks could operate to
advantage. North of Reims FOch's
troops drove the Huns back to the Aisne
and the Aisne-Marne canal, clearing
the country north of the Vesle and re-
leasing n number OF towns. They also
gained the entire st. Thierry massif.

HINDENBURG Line SMASHED
Bulgaria Surrenders Internationally
and Turkey Is Wobbling-st. ouen-
TN and Damascus Captured
Huns Preparing To Get
Out Of Belgium.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD

The kaiser put his back to wall in
tbs vain effort to check the allies
on the western front, and the wall
collapsed. Bulgaria surrendered, prac-
dcally Internationally; Turkey at
once put out peace feelers; Austria
Hungary cried for cessation Of the
war. and the Ukrainians rose In re-
volt against the Huns.
Meanwhile the allies kept up their
ceaseless hammering at the kaiser's
front wall-the Hindenburg line--and
by smashing through IT at many
points proved 1t was not the impreg-
nable system Of defense that the Ger
mans had supposed II to be. From the
sea to Verdun the battle blazed day
showed an almost unbroken series of
victories for the allies. The Belgian
army, assisted by British troops and,
unexpectedly, by French army,
Jumped into the fray at the beginning
Of the week, and. taking Dixmude and
the important Wytschaete ridge, nd
vanced swiftly as far as Roulers.
Thereupon the Huns began making
preparations that indicated complete
withdrawal from Belgium. North and
south Of La Bassee canal they were
In full flight with the British close on
their heels, and as Haig's men ap-
preached Lille the enemy began the
evacuation Of that city, the German
commander requisitioning all mean:
of transportation to remove his plum
der. Investing Roulers, the allies gain
ed control of the railroad to the Ger
man submarine bases at Ostend and
Zeebruggee and It was reported the
foe was removing his heavy guns from
the Belgian coast and that the gov
ernor general of Belgium had in
structed the provincial governors t.
send all their archives at once to Brus
sells.
Armentieres and Lens were aban
doned by the Huns Tuesday night.
