BIG FLIGHT FROM COAST UiyDER WAY Smash in Belgium Is Pressed With Undiminished Fury: HOLLAND BORDER NEARED ISritish Patrols in Suburbs- of LlUe and Troops Press Toward Towns on Coast. trtr.tinue1 From Tir- Par.- determination, such as only troops fighting- to regain their outraged coun try could display. Nothing could atop them. The British, following up the retreat ing; Germans and overcoming- the rear guards, are reported as reaching- Ques noy and as having captured Linselles, along the I. vs. The Belgians at the time this .dispatch was riled were re ported to be past Keyem and to have reached positions on the other side of Cachten and Ardoye. both of which they captured. Northeast of Courtrat Uavichove was stormed and taken and the Belgians were still going. Lille Salleat Oatflaaked. The Linselles position H most valu able, for. the place being northwest of Turcoing. the allied troops are grad ually outflanking the entire Lille salient, from which there are further signs that the enemy is withdrawing. As a matter of fact, his troops in this salient are in an extremely precarious position. They mirt get out rapidly or face disastrous consequences. A thousand more prisoners and many more cannon have been captured. The (lermana at many places, especially in the northern part of the battle area, seem to be surrendering freely. Many more civilians have been rescued from the towns and districts captured and little processions of these are strag gling rearward out of range of the guns and out of the way of the fight ing troops. Mones are beginning to come back how liberated Belgian women have seen their sons, brothers or Husbands going forward into battle. Haas Flee la Haste. Quite a number of civilians also have 4been rescued from ftoulera and its en ,-virons. the Germans - having left ii sucn a nurry that they had not time to remove the civilians who wanted to stay and take a chance of being liberated. Today these men. women and children are again walking on the free oil 01 trance. The Uermans appear to be making strenuous etions to save their muni tions and equipment and thels mate rial, the accumulation of four years, from coast districts of Belgium. The roads behind the Germans are littered with all sorts of transport and allied airplanes are again playing havoc with the retreating enemy. The weather today was cloudy, but thus far no more rain has fallen. However. Flanders is mud from one riid to the other and this condition makes movement difficult for the al- lied troops. The ooze and soft ground make it doubly difficult for the enemv . to move back. Therefore the allied sMdiers have put up with great hard ships, for they realize that they have the enfmv on the run- in the most vital section of the west front and do not desire to let him have a chance to reassemble his tattered units. KfW Borkei 'fOaeapc. Outside Court rai the infantry has progressed about three miles and here have been compelled to fight their wa forward, for the Germans had orders to hold on to the last and they di so. Not many of those who had bee stationea witn machine guns to try to noia up tne aavance of the allied troops managed to escape. At the Thlelt positions the French cavalry baa begun to come Into country where the ground and roads are harder, allowing them to operat more ireeiy. ji is through this gap that the Germans throughout the entire .Belgian coast system must go If they wish to save themselves, providing, of course, the advance continues. Inciden tally, every yard of advance here nar- rows tha enemy'a escape gap. Tt would seem that If the weather holds out long enough and the advance continues at the present rate of speed the Germans' will soon have lost con trol of great stretches of Belgium, especially tha coast which is important for submarines, aside from stretches of northern France from where, all rules of tactics and strategy demand, they must evacuate as being outflanked with their lines turned. So far as is known the Germans have not any formidable lines in their rear where they can find refuge. Moreover, the German high command Is rot in a position to send reinforce ments of any consequence to Flanders as they are all needed and fully oc cupied elsewhere along the front. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FLAN DERS. Oct. 16. (Reuters.) Throughout last night In the moonlight the allies continued tirelessly to follow up their splendid successes in Belgium. At A. M. today Belgian cavalry pa trols were reported to be within a kilo meter of Thlelt, 15 miles southwest of Ghent.

Yesterday the Germans attacked from Iseghem and forced the Belgian line back to Boschmolens. but a counter attack drove them to and beyond their starting point. Prisoners and guns continue to be gathered in,- but there has been no time to count the latest captures. Between Lens and Armentleres the Germans continue to fall back and the British are drawing near Lille. During the night they crossed the Haute Deule Canal. 2000 yards east of Pont-a-Ven-din. and threw out strong patrols which have maintained harassing touch with the enemy. - The Eritlsh are reported as holding Pont-Sault.

The British forces In the sector betwen Douai and Lille have mads further gains all along the front and driven their Una to within about two and a half miles southwest and three and three-quarters miles west of Lille, according to Field Mar shal Halg's communication issued tonight.

British Follow Closely. "On the Doual-Lllle front the enemy making his withdrawal closely fol lowed by our troops, who have reached the general line of Olgnies, Can-in, Al-lenes-Les-Marta, Maugra and Caplng- hem. harp fighting has taken place at different points between the enemy's rear guards and our advance detach ments. Soma prisoners have been taken. The British second army under com mand of General Plumer. co-operating with the Belgian and French forces Flanders, in the course of the last three days has realized an advance of mora than eight miles'. Today our troops crossed the Lys between Armentieres and Menin. In towns and villages captured, by the second army In Flanders many clvl- lans have been found and freed from he domination of the enemy. More han 4190 prisoners and upwards of ISO guns already have been taken. In these successful operations the Ninth Division, forming a part of the command of General Jacobs' second corps, again has fought with great isttnetion. Valuable and gallant serv es has been rendered also by the 29th, 4th. lth and 41st divisions, as well as other divisions engaged." Complaint against C. E. Cleveland principal of the Benson Polytechnic school, in which it is alleged that he Is unfit to perform the duties of prln cipal. -was filed yesterday by E. F. Williams, instructor at the Benson, with the school clerk. A special meet ing of the school board has been called for this afternoon to investigate the charges. The complaint involves nine charges. Mr. Cleveland is quoted as saying: "We snoum take the students out behind the building and hit them over the head to put them out of their misery. This, according to the complaint. Is evi dence that he has failed to co-operate witn tne teachers and students and has Incited strife and antagonism. The school is inadequately equipped as a result of Mr. Cleveland's careless ness, alleges the complaint, which says that though pre-schedule cards were filed for 300 students, preparations were made by Mr. Cleveland for but 45 students. Much time was lost at the first of the term due to inadequacy of seating and other supplies and equip ment, reads the complaint. His alleged failure to co-operate is carried out by the complaint which charges Mr. Cleveland with delivering nis report blanks late and when the teachers said the remaining time was not sufficient, he is quoted as reply ing: "I require the students in the Army Training Corps to work until 1 o clock at night on the erection of the new school building and then in the morn ing they are required to work again at 5 o'clock and they have nothing to say about it. ton are lucky you teachers are not in the Army, for one in the Army has nothing to say about what he will do. nor the number of hours he will work, nor the kind of work he will do." It is also charged that his policy is not to promote or recommend for pro motion any teacher in the school but to fill all vacancies in higher positions with new men. Mr.. Williams, who made the report, has failed to be recommended for pro motion by Mr. Cleveland, according to the latter. He is a permanent teacher in that he has been employed In the Portland schools for three years. His department is architectural drawing. "I am not worried about the outcome of the complaint." said Mr. Cleveland last evening. "What I said about hit ting the boys over the head and put ting them out of their misery certainly stands by itself. The whole thing looks to me very much like a joke. As to the pre-schedule cards numbering 300 and then preparing for 45 men. I am not ready to make a statement., "Most of our time has been taken with the military work this Winter. The Government furnishes us with many of the instructors for the higher positions. The only disagreement I have ever had with Mr. Williams Is that I have refused to recommend him for promotion." Mr. Cleveland later withdrew this last statement. The complaint has not come to me In an official way and until it does I will have nothing to say," said D. A. Grout, superintendent of school. "No previous complaint has ever come to me about Mr.- Cleveland who has been employed here for a number of years. By complaint, i mean anytning in writing or in the nature of tne docu ment filed yesterday.

Thene also a desire to assist in raisins the quota for the country, due to the low progress being- made in some sec tions. The reason Oregon is shown in the tatement of tha Federal Reserve Bank at San Francisco as having sub scribed only 9S per cent of Its quota that returns have been delayed by some banks. Some purchasers of bonds, including corporations that des- gnated the amount they will take have delayed making their Initial pay ments, in some instances because the representatives were acting on instruc- 10ns from the general offices in the East and have not yet received the drafts to cover the amounts. Subscriptions of the railroad em ployes, made through their own com mittees,' are not yet closed, and with- i few days these will be received through the banks.
