HUN SAVAGRY
IS CARRIED ON
IN BIG RETREAT
PARIS, Nov. 6. American troops
this afternoon were fighting within
sight of Sedan, famous for the great
battle fought In the Franco-German
War in 1870.
From the hills in the region of
Chemery and Malsoncelle, . where the
Americans, according to last accounts,
were advancing, despite stubborn re
sistance, the buildings of Sedan are in
plain view, being about ' six miles
tway.
Continuing their advance today be
tween the Meuse and the Bar, the
Americans moved forward at one place
more than three miles.
Chemery, seven and one-half miles
southwest of Sedan, waa captured,
and the Americans pressed on east
ward. At an early hour this afternoon
the line ran east of Chemery through
Malsoncelle, Flaba and the Bois du
Fond de Limon.
. The Germans offered increased re
sistance to the Amedican advance to
day, using artillery, gaa and machine
guns, but were unable to stem the
Yankee thrust.
On the west bank of the lleuse the
Germans have been driven entirely
from the Boise de Hospice, two miles
north of Beaumont.
The. Germans continue their rear
guard actions on the rugged hills and
wooded districts east of the Meuse
against which the Americans are ad
vancing steadily.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. German
forces. In their retreat from Belgium,"
are bombing defenseless towns, using
especially gas shells and devastating
the countryside, according to eye-witnesses'
accounts published today by
the Belgian legation.
"The Belgian government has been
informed," says the statemnnt, "by a
reliable eye witness that at the Very
moment the government had announc
ed her protest against inhuman acts
and while Germany offers to stop aeri
al bombardments, the Germans have
bombed villagss and towns they were
obliged to abandon during their re
treat: they have used especially gas
shells.
"Indescribable heart-rending scenes
have occurred, the unfortunate popula
tion having no gas masks. A Belgian
soldier entering Wyngheme, his home
town, found his wife dying and his lit
tle daughter dead, victims of poison
gas, and his home a heap of ruins. The
country all around Ghent presents a
horrible sight of devastation and hov-
oc. Not a church was spared.
"Amongst the civilian population
hiding in the cellars there have been a
great many deaths from gas, 27 in tht
village of Hansbeke alone.
"A portion of the population who had
fled from their homes during the fight
ing and bombing found on their return
mere ruins and debris, trees had been
cut dowu, houses ransacked, furniture
smashed to pteces, fields devastated."
The legation publishes a captured
Bavarian divisional order as further
evidence of German looting of civilian!
