TERRIFIC BATTLES IN FRANCE.

(Continued from Page 5.)

French Aviation.

London, Oct 3

A French communique says: During Oct. 1 we brought down 11 enemy aeroplanes and two balloons. Our bombers dropped 27 tons of projectiles and fired thousands of rounds. into enemy.concentrations and convoys. During the night of Sept. 30 they dropped eight tons of bombs and during the night of Oct. 1 over 7 tons were dropped on big stations at Hanguyan, Confians. Dommary, Barcourt,, Maison Blene, Le Castelet and Mont Carnet and Laon.

Anglo-Belgian Advance.

London, Oct 3,

A Belgian communique states: Notwithstanding the enemy's stiff resistance the Belgian army improved its posi tions by local thrusts at different points, General Flumer's army after severe fighting made an important advance irr the direction of Menin by capturing Gheluve. North and close to Armentieres General Plumer captured Bizet and Hescous Farm north of Souplines. British aviators destroy. ed nine aeroplanes and two balloons.

Lens and Lille lavolved.

London, Out, 3. The enemy's withdrawal yesterday in the vicinity of La Bassee involves Lens and Lille, the latter of which is also threatened by General Phimer's advance on Menin. The violence of the enemy's reaction yesterday shows how desperate his position is and is regarded rather as an effort" to gain time, while the present line is being evacuated than an indicating a determination to ding to the linë: Marsnal. Haig's stroke, indeed, in reaching the rearmost positions of the Hindenburg Line between Cambrai and St. Quentin, seems to render a retfent from that line inevitable. It is described by experts as one of the greatest feats of the war. Praise is lövislied on Sir Douglas "Enig's achievements dur- lug the past two months, not merely in capturing a colossal total of prisoners, but in triumphing over a series of the strongest defences. His contribution is the largest of any Allied army to the success of Marshal Foch's strategy. Cor- respondents describe the fighting, especially in the Cambrai sector, as the severest and most critical of the whole war. Our victory is undoubted, but was gained at grènt sacrifices. The Germans yesterday flung in nine divisions between Cambrai and Sensee River, in addition to special marksmen detachments and machine-guns every ten yards. Every at tack was mes by a German counter-attack, the latter con- ducted on the old style mass formation, which advanced steadily into annihilating artillery fire until it melted away, only to be followed by fresa victims to the guns. Hence it is not surprising that the sheer weight of numbers checked the advance at some points, but the obstinate courage of the Germans was matched by the heroic determination of the British. The armies of Generals Horne, Byng and Rawlin sun, together with those of Generals Debeney, Mangin and Berthelot are breaching the walls of the fortress protecting the richest network of communications in the theatre of war, whereof Cambrai is the apex and the Raine, between Cologne and Strassburg is the base. Simultaneously an attack by the Anglo-Belgians in the north takes these main German communications in the Bank, while the armies of Generals Gourand and Pershing the east threaten the Rhine and Moselle Railways. The "Berliner Tagblatt's" expert, General -Ardente, admite the seriousness of the situation. He de scribes Marshal Foch's strategy as demoniacal, siming not" merely to encircle the German armies on all sectors, but to break through every one. He says the most dangerous point is between the Scarpe and St. Quentin. Even here the situation might have been satisfactory, but for the sudden Angle Belgian attack on the coastal front. He concludes by comparing Marshal Foch's present operations to boring holer at five points preparatory to blasting with dynamite.

The Enemy Retirement.

"

London, Oct. 3, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Heig reports: The progress of the Allied offensives in Flanders and before Cambrai and St Quentin, combined with the enemy's heavy losses in en deavouring to resist the Allies', successful attacks, bas compelled the enemy to undertake an extensive withdrawal of his line. From Lens to Armentieres the enemy is evacuat- in the highly organised.positions he has held since the com. mencement of trench warfare and which he has hitherto defended with the utmost resolution. This movement, which was expected, is being closely followed up by our troops, who are maintaining touch with the German rearguards, inflicting many casualties and taking prisoners.

On the front of retirement we have already reached the general line Cite-St-Auguste, Douvrin, faat of La Bassee,- east of Auders and west of Boisgrenier and our advance continues. Last night we repulsed an attack northward of Cambrai, taking prisoners. We renewed our attacks norte- ward of St. Quentin this morning.

The Allies' Haul

་'

London, Uct 3.

A French communique states; During September the Allies in France and Belgium bare taken 2,844 officers, and 120,392 men, 1,800 guns and över 10,000 misenine-guns. The Allies from July 16 to Sept. 30 have taken 5,5is officers, 245,494 men, 3,609,guns, over 22,000 machine-guns and several hundred mine-throwers.

The French Progress.

London, Oct. 3.

The Germans made powerfal efforts to throw us out of the woods south east of Orfeuil where we penetrated. Three times their assalls were shattered against our lines. We main tamed all our gains and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. The number we have prisonered has been still further in- oressed during these fights: The attack was-resumed at dayizeak this morning.
