THE BATTLES IN FRANCE.

London, October 4

Sir Douglas Haig state-At dawn the British infantry and Tanks attacked on an eight-mile front from Srqushart to the Canal, north of Bony. The altack was successful at all points. On the right of the attack the English and Scottish troope of the Thirty Second Division retook Sequehart, taking prisoners, and later best off a counter-attack with enemy loss. In the centre the English stormed Bamicourt and Wincourt, taking several hundreds of prisoners, while the Second Australian Division broke through the Fonsomme Beaurevoir line west and south-west of Beaurevoir. Rushing forward, the troops of these two Divisions, sccompanied by Tanks, reached the western outskirts of Mont Brebain and secured high ground south and south-west of Besarevoir.. On the left of the attack the English and Irish forced pasanges soros, the Soheldt Canal at Gouy and Le Catelet, capturing both the villages and the high ground on the east.

...

London, Ontober 4.... Sir Douglas Haig states-At the conclusion of yesterday's fighting we held the high ground a mile to the north-east of Sequshart, and bad successfully beaten of counter-attacks at Gouy, Le Catales and Sequehart. We took over 4000 prisoners during yesterday's operations north of St, Quentin. At night local fighting to our advantage cocurred south-west of Beaurevoir and in the southern caskirts of Cambrai. We slightly advanced our poste north-east of Epinoy and repaleed a hostile attack on a poet south of Bische S-Vaset. North of the Scarpe we made progress between Oppy sad Mericourt. More to the north our advanced troops resched the railway east of Lists and a general line as follows:-Vendin le Vieil-Wingles Berclau-Fournes-on-Weppes-Hoaplices.

"London, October 4.

Reater's correspondent at British Headquarters, telegraphing this evening, raya-Oce has almost lost the capacity of being surprised in these stirring times. Otherwise, the report of our mec going through Lena would atir up emotions. On the Belgian Front some progrene was made id the region of Ronless. The weather- iz gloriously £ne and our airmen are having a great time.

London, October 4

The Kaiser presided at a Gread Council in Berlin yesterday. That the deliberations dealt with the retreat from the West is ovidenced from the inspired articles in the German Press preparing she public for the evacuation of the Belgian Coset. The Kress Zeitung Baya" Bulgarian treachery will have the most rapid oæquences on the Oriental world, sad may alter the whole world situation in favoar of the Eatente. Therefore, as the gortal spot for the Central Powers is the south-east of Europe, they must concentrate there. A new German line from Antwerp through Metz to the Adriatic must be pre- pared. Experts in London point out, however, that the question being fought on the Western Front is whether the enemy can re- trast to another strategic front on a shorter line, without sup reme disaster. His retreat between Lens and Armentiares is regard. ed se an indication of his desire to evacuate the Belgian Coast, bæt the Allies threaten both ends of the lateral railway from Lille to Mets, on which the eapply for the German trenches chiefly depends. The menace on Roulers endangers the German communications with the coast The German right has the longest way to go in the event of a general retreat, hence the importance sitsched to both sides of the Cambrai-St, Quentin sector, where the Allies are hammering. A breach has already been made in the "Siegfred" system, and the Germans are fighting very desperately. Any sub stantial quickening of the Allied advance here might mean disaster to a large part of the German Army in the West.

violent aghting occurred in the Hindenburg positions between Les HONGKONG &

Dines and Sequehart, where the enemy put up a very strong resistance. Farther south, we gained a footing on the railway esas of Bt. Quentin." North-west of Rheims we carried Cormicy and reached the canal between Oonceverax and Laneavilette. The batila in Okampagne continues with sustained violence. We enlarged our gaine in the region worth of Sommepy. Our troops, bresking down the resistance of the enemy, carried the drest of Mont Bland and Hedeab Farm. The prisoners already counted to-day number 2,800.

London, October 4,

Renter's correspondent at French Headquarters, telegraphing yesterday, stated:-The Germans, as elsewhere, arelpatting up a great resistance against General Gouread's advanes in Champagne, fighting every yard of the ground. They were only besten by the superior initiative' of the Freneb. There were no French assaulting waves after the first day. The French advanced in groupe, com- manded by a Lieutenant or a non-commissioned officer," thus **filtering" through ravines and esparing posis. When a score of such tiny operations are successful, a local advance is undertaken and the sum of a number of such advances enables 's general advanOS of the whole line.

London, October 4,

Renter's correspondent at American Headqasriers, telegraphing yesterday, stated:-The two battle lines in the Nt. Mihiel sector have recoiled one from the other, leaving a wide outpost line between,

க் bat French fabella threaten the enemy's communiostions betweÓŻ Grandpra and Vöuziers, therefore a withdrawal is likely behind whit la believed to be the "Kriemhidde" line, running from "the Mouss north of Brisallee, towards the south, through Bois-de-Valoup, then towards the west, south of, Romagne and north of Gesnes, so the ridges north and west of Exermont and across the Airs to Chatelchehem Blaff. There is also an alternative line, apparently designed to meet the possibility of the other being turned by our advance in the Grandpre gorge. On our right the enemy is still bringing up reinforcementa.
