THE ADVANCE IN FRANCE,

The Explosions In Cambral.

Paris, Oct. ia The British were surprised to find Cambrai in compara- tirely good condition; but, from ten on the morning of th inst. there was a series of explosions near the cathedral wing 10, the blowing up of German mines. Fires broke out sialtaneously and soon the streets near the cathedral belfry and Place d'Armes formed an enormous brazier. To cathe dral itself was damaged, but not by fee. Fanned by the wind the conflagration soon reached other parts of the town. The explosions are cutiuding

British Take Lyr 10,000 Prisoners.

London, Oct. 10. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports: We indicted a heavy defeat on the enemy yesterday between St." Quentin and Cambrai. prisonering over 10,000 and taking between w hundred and two hundred guns. No fewer than twenty- three German divisions engaged on this front were severely bazded. As the result of this action we advanced to-day onthe whole frunt between the Summe and Sensee, rapidly progressing castward and capturing enemy rearguard detach. ments and isolated batteries and machine gun posts. number of inhabitants left in the captured villages met us with enthusiasm. The whole of Cambrai is in our possession. The Canadians of the First Army entered Cambrai from the north in the early morning. while later the English of the Third Army pushed through the southern portions of the town.

Since August 1st the British First. Third and Fourth Armies have broken through the whole elaborate series of. deep defensive zones built up of successive belts of hearily fortified trenen ihes, including the entire Hindenburg system on a front of thirty-five ailes from St. Quentin to Armas. Having, penetrated this battle area to a depth of between thirty and forty miles we are now operating far beyond and eastward of the Hindenburg defences. During these opera- tions and since the date mentioned we inflicted very heavy lofsea in killed and wounded. We have prisonered over 110,00 and bare taken. 1.200 guns..

Our air squadrons were active on the vhuse, front, keeping close touch with the advancing troops. Smoke. etrtains dropped around the enemy's strong points proved of great valne. Aeroplanes with bombs and machine-gunfire scattered infantry and transport. We dropped twenty-one tons of bombs, destruped ten aeroplanes and drove down two controllable. Seven British machines are missing Our night fliers dropped-231 tons on failways and communica- tips. We hit and derailed two trains and started several large fres at railway sidings. All our machines returned

Wę e ntinued ur advance las vening against gradual increasing resistance and early in the night our advanced detachments established themselves across the Cambrai-Le Cateau road, within two miles of Le Cateau. Fighting is proceeding southward of the main road on both sides of Caudry, also eastward of Cambrai, where we progressed.

Betgeen the Scarpe and Lens patrols are pushing for- ward and are in tough with the enemy westward of the general line Vitry-ed-Artois Ize-lez-Equerchin-ROUTOY: We have possession of Sallaamines and Noyelles.

Reuter learns that British cavalry are in the outskirts of Le Cateau,

On the French Front.

London, Det 10.

French communique states: The furious Argip- French attacks of several days past north and south of St Quentin have forced a general German retreat in that region, To-day our First Army pursued the enemy rear- guards between the Somme and Oise everywhere shattering local resistances and taking prisoners. East of the St. Quentin-Le Cateau railway we hold Etares wood, and -Bekutreux village. Farther south we passed Fooŝome and. reached Fontaine-Notre Dame. We captured Marcy... North of the Oise we cocupied Mezieres-sur-Oise. Our advance is eight kilometres east of St. Quentin. We have taken so far 2,000 prisoners, also guns and numerous machine-guns. Nart of the Ames we repulsed violent counter-attacks and approached nearer Cauroy. Our attacks in the Aisue Valley have satisfactory reunits. We captured the plateau and village of Mont Chentia, Grandham and Lancos, crossed the Aisae north-east of Mont 'Cheatin and captured Senuk on the worth bank after a stiff fight, taking sou"prisoners, guns and machine-guns. Unfavourable weather on Oct. 8 restricted air operations. Three enemy machines were felled and two balloons set afire. The weather improved and our Eight bombers dropped twenty-six tons on several stations and railways connecting them.

Reporting yesterday, Reuier's correspondent at Frence Headquarters says: From St. Quentin Woevre the battle to-day progressed satisfactorily. Eastwards of Si. Quentin General Debeney's troops broke through the enemy line from Harly to Neuville, converted into a field fortress, atter a bitter struggle. On the extreme right General Gouyond's - army in Champagne by their attack westwards of Argonne have given us possession of Vaux-les-Mourons, practically in the mouth of the Grandpre valley. Northwards of the Arnes the tiernaus are counter-attacking to regain yester day's lost ground. Everywhere fighting w the hardest. The termans realise that the key to the whole manoeuvre is in the centre between St. Quentin, and the Aisne, where four German Armies crowded into a barrow space are menaced by the Allied armies north and east of St-Gobain Forest and the Aisne plateau, wherein the Germans deemed themselves safe against any attack

outer's correspondent at French Headquarters reports" at ten on Wednesday evening: The Germans in Chainpague' are still holding tenaciously, but have been driven back at several important points. The Germans on both sides of B. Quentin are retreating before the Anglo-French. In the centre, five miles east of St. Quentin the French are in the Woton line, the German secondary defence system. The snomy has evidently abandoned the idea of making an effective stand in the Woton defences, which, see partly in the possession of the French.

A French communique states: The pursuit continued during the night east of St Quentin. We occupiest Landri court wood and passed Beautzoak and Fonteins, Notre Dame North of the Aisne we vigorously pressed the enemy, East of Ostel we hold the plateau of Oroz-sane Tete Wa
