EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE OFFENSIVE IN THE WEST.

A Great Allled Advance.

London, Nov. 6 The advance of the Allies yesterday was the greatest since the opening of the offensive. The whole front is now. in à state of flux. The Allies at many points have lost- touch with the main German forces, which after the drub- bing received in the great Alhed assault, did not lose a moment in beginning a new retirement to avoid" - disaster but retreated immediately darkness fell. On the battlefield on Monday a few hours' start sufficed for the main body to brask contact with their assailants, who, when they resumed the advanced yesterday morning, were hampered by bad weather. The question now is how far the enemy means to go before attempting another stand. It is believed he may try to temporazily hold the Mezieres-Maubeuge line as preliminary to an eventual move, if possible, to the Meuse- Namur-Brussels-Antwerp line.

British Closely Follow the Germans.

London, Nov. 6.

Sir Douglas Haig reports: In a great battle opened yesterday between the Sambre and Scheldt our Third, Fourth and First armies heavily defeated, with severe losses in killed, wounded, prisoners guns and material, no fewer than twenty-five German divisions, thus breaking the Ger- man defence on a thirty mile front. Owing to this brilliant meness the enemy to-day is retreating on the whole battle front. Despite rain we are pressing him closely and taking prisoners. The enemy abandoned complete batteries and quantities of material. We passed through Mormal Forest and reached the general line of Barry, Grand Fayt, Berlai mont, Westward of Bavai, Rosin and Fresnes

Northward of the Sambre River our advanced troops. pressed forward beyond Mormal Forest and reached the main Avesne Bavai' road south-eastward of Eavai. They also progressed westward of Barai and other parts of the battle. front

Sir Douglas Haig, reporting aviation, says: We success- fully attacked important rail junctions and aerodromes, set- ting on are three hangars. We dropped a total of thirty- three tons. The enemy showed great activity and heavy fighting occurred in which we brought down forty aero- planes and drove down fifteen uncontrollable. Thirty-five British are missing. Our night Byers dropped fourteen tons. Four have not returned.

Not a Rout.

London, Nov. 6. Heuter's correspondent a British headquarters, tele graphing on the bul Kays: ine retreat conundes but there is no question, of a rout, we are simply pressing the Gier- mana maru and they are covering their withdrawal with a screen of mobile machine-gun-uniences, We know the con juston and demoranzanon among the 1ọc, bat so strong is wheir ingrained training and discipline that their lenders manage to keep the men in bana. Heavy rains whie im- pening us are preventing the enemy trom getting away guns and other material. ›

French Capture 4,000 Prisoners.

London, Nov. 6. A French communique says: On the whole French front" from the Sabre Canal to Argonne the German-retreat con- unued during the day and attained at certain places a depth o ten kometres. The First Army is 'gathering the fruit of the severe battle of yesterday for the crossing of the Sambre Canal. They completely defeated six German divi- nons and captured four thousand prisoners and sixty guts. They captured Guise in the Erst hour. The advance con- tinned "unrestingly and reached as the end of the day Barzy, Laqueteries, vaqueresse, Crupuly, Maizy, Bomery, Sains, Kichaamont and Housset, aberating numerous civilians.

Farther to the right we how Lanenville, Housset, Marie,. Bostont, Ebouleac, Bussypierrepont and Dizy-le-Gros Heavy fighting corth-west or Chateau Porcien also caused a general retreat of the Germans. Our line passes north

of Waleppe to Lainogue and west of Chandion to St. Fer- geux. "We captured Herpy, Conde-les-Herpy and Chateau Foreen and crossed the Aisne at Nanteuil, and in Argonne, by a brilliant surprise, we crossed the Ardennes canal and the Aisne, passing far beyond Montgon and Lecheon and reaching the villages of Pouvergy and Saaville.

"

A French communique says that contact was maintained at night time with the rearguards of the enemy who con- tinued to retreat on the whole front, Early this morning we resumed our progress east of the Sambre casal. We oo- cupied Barzy. North of Marle we passed beyond Marlontaine and Voharies. The Italian troops fighting with us captured Thuel and reached the rivulet of Hurtant, south-east of Mont Cornet West of Bethel we occupied Barby on the north bank of the Aisze. French detachments crossed the Aitne at several points between Rethel and Attigny, Farther to the right we reached the outskirts of Lametz and pushed forward as far as the approaches to Lacassine, north-east of Cheime.

·

Beater's correspondent at French Headquarters, tele- graphing on the 5th in the evening, says: The Germans " are unmistakably retreating upon the Meuse, This is con- firmed by a captured order, dated the 2nd, ordering the retreat thereto. The principal stations on the Metz-Charle ville railway are already under American fire and it will not be long before the railway is effectively cut-

Near the Sedan-Metz' Railway.

London, Nov. 6.

An American communique says: Our First Army crossed the Mense south of Dun under heavy cannonades which frequently wrecked bridges and fought its way, up the slopes of the east bank breaking the enemy's, strong resistance. They captured two hills and Chatillon Wood, captured Dun in the afternoon and pushed a mile beyond. Another corps. reached the river at Casse and Luzo and seized the forest of Jalnay. They captured Besument and advanced two miles beyond. We are now five miles from the Sedan-Metz rail- way. The Third Corps on the left advanbed through the rugged forests beyond St. Onne Fifty-one more guns were captured west of the House. Seventeen enemy seropiszes were shot down in air-fights. Seven American machines are missing.

Decisive Battle of the War,

Paris, Nov. &

The great decisive battle of the war bega yesterday on a front of 27 miles between the Schalde and north-east of Valenciennes and Guise. Three British armies and one French army first drove the Germans from their defence positions, securing a hold on western Belgium and the north- ern part of invaded France, The French captured: 2,000 prisonses. The advance razied in depth from two to four miles, South of Mormal Forest the formidable obstads of the Bambre-Oise canal was crossed, on a wide front by British and French. The many was forced back to a depth of three miles. On the right General Debener's Anny com- pleted the work. Many villages were captured by the com bined Armica. Though the Germans are not showing signs of demoralisation their heavy losses must soon compel, a retreat from Belgium to the Mease. The centre of the enemy position is especially dangerous as the rest of the "great progrem made by the French and the AS Anny on the House, Posibly the Germans quick retreat through the Andernes
