Continufd From Flrt Page.) Germans were put to 6uch hurried flight that they had little time to take their artillery and Tast store? of am munition with them. These fell into the hands of the allied troops, and the jruns were promptly turned around and - fthells were sent eastward as fast as they could be fired against their origi nal owners. Infantrymen thus bad a novel MDerience in serving artillery. Jn the northern part of the battle area allied cavalry is moving ahead of the infantry. And all the while the al lies are seltin? nearer and nearer to Ghent. Rala SMki Araalea. Belgian artillery has been moved up raDidlv behind the infantry and is noundina- the enemy constantly.

The -allied armies now ara two miles from Tournai. where the Germans are resisting strenuously. Just to the east of the city lies high ground, which is giving the Germans the advantage In the present fighting. If the allies take the city, much heavy and difficult fighting is expected in tha event that a further eastward ad vance is attempted at this point. Terra la Finn Ceraaaaa. The British are not having an easy tima around Valenciennes, but they have pushed forward to within two miles of the city. Here also the Ger mans have the advantage in terrain. The Valenciennes-Hirson railway has been put out of action. This road, which formerly was one of the Germans' main lateral communication lines, lost much f its value to thera when they evacu ated Lille. J (Br the Associated I"rM.

Here, as elsewhere all along this part of the battle area, the Germans are fighting with the realisation that every foot of ground lost Increases the menace to their comrades for many muea to tin north and south. . American troops participating In this action crossed the canal under heavy fire. They and the Kritlsh killed a creat .number of Germans who were attempting to hold the east bank and sought to stop them after they had Sained It. River Sella la Passed. The River Sella has been crossed all along its course from a point north of La Catcau to the Scheldt and is being rapidlv left behind. In this region the River Ecaillion has been reached and probably crossed. The Germans have delivered a num ber of counter attacks, but in every case they have broken down under the hot fire of the allied troops. The Ger man dead are on tha battlefield in great numbers. In scores of the towns which have been won from the enemy Germans have been found hldingin cellars wait ing to surrender. It is reported that not a few of them have crossed the lutch frontier and been Interned. LONDON. Oct. IlThe British forces fighting north of Le Cateau have cap tured AmervaU according to the report from Field Marshal Halg tonight. The British are now two miles from Valen ciennes. The text of the statement says: 'During the night and early morning there was sharp fighting for possession of the village of Amerval. which we raptured during our attack yesterday. Determined attacks to regain the vil lage were repulsed. Haa Oppaaltloa Overcame. "Early this morning the enemy made an unsuccessful attempt to drive in our advanced troops In the neighbor hood of the Cambrai-Baval road. W secured a few prisoners. East and north of Denain our progress has con tinued in the face of considerable op position. "We ara lea than two miles from Valenciennes' and bave reached the general line La Sentinelle-St. Amand-Rongy-Taintegnies.

The French also have gained a bridgehead over the Lys River at.Gram raene. The Germans are attempting to hold a line from Eede to the River Lys at Peteghem, north of Gramraene, There is no confirmation of a re port from Dutch sources that the allied troops have captured Eecloo and sev eral thousand prisoners. This is be lieved to be extremely improbable, as is also the report that the fate f Ghent has been sealed. South of the Scheldt, the British have straightened the line between Denain and Le Cateau and are within three or four miles of the Valenciennes railway line. The allies also have straightened out their line between tne uise ana the Serre. and the French are engaged in heavy fighting in the strongly forti fied Hunding line. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN BEL GIUM. Oct. 21. (Reuter's.) In the re gion east of Courtrai the Second Brit' ish Army today was advancing on a line of 3 4 miles along the Scheldt River. They had gained this line by a great bound forward Sunday. Enemy Suffers Severely. During the battle which resulted in this gain more than 700 prisoners were captured and heavy casualties were in flicted on the enemy. The second army encountered very stiff opposition in places when it re sumed its attack Sunday. When the fighting lulled last evening, the Brit ish had driven a Wg salient into the German front from St. Louis to Belle ghem as far as tha vicinity of Knock and to a depth of about five miles. This morning the British line ran from Waaisonek along the Belleghem salient and thence past Warcolng and Bailleul to the west of Tournai. To the north the Belgian and French troops had an excellent day of sus tained progress. Here and there the Germans were pressed Into tight places and are fighting vigorously to extricate themselves. The town of Sweveghem, three miles east of Courtrai. was penetrated by soldiers of the second army only after a hard conflict. Many Prlsaaera Taken. The German artillery kept up a harassing and enfilading fire from the north. The French got across the Lys River at Oyghera and advanced toward Waereghem. They also established themselves east of the river between Peteghem and Graramene. Since the attack launched a week ago the second Army nss counted more than 6200 prisoners and 169 guns. This total is not complete to date. The attack of the first and third armies Sunday was quite successful. There was much hard fighting at first north of Le Cateau, but gradually the Brltsh. together with the Americans, who fought splendidly, broke down the enemy resistance. In tne region of Denain tha British advance continued, while on the Solesmes-Valenciennes line there has been continuous and heavy fighting with the British making good progress east of Solesmes. The enemy is making every use of the sunken roads in this ditrict to contest the British advance. At Marou. the British employed a number of the enemy's own guns to assist in driving him out of this position. Cyclists Capture Batteries. In Flanders the British captured auite a few field guns yesterday. 7n- cluded in the number were three com plete batteries, one of which was har nessed up and ready to go off.

Oct. 21. After read ing a number of late reports on the outcome of the fourth liberty loan campaign. Treasury officials declared tonight there was nothing definite thus far to announce either as to the total volume of Subscriptions or the number of subscribers. They still felt no doubt that the loan has been oversubscribed, but explained that many earlier messages appeared too optimistic in the light of actual figures now being compiled by every bank and local committee over the country. Some cities which at first reported they were heavily oversubscribed now find that they barely went over their marks. There was good ground, however, for the estimate that 22.000,000 or more individuals had subscribed to the loan. Statement to Be Delayed. Owing to the present uncertainty the Treasury decided to make no further announcement concerning the results of the loan until definite and official figures are received from each Federal reserve bank. The first of these re ports is hardly looked forbefore next Monday, and final compilations may be delayed two weeks. Reports so far received Indicate clearly, officials say, that the house-to-house canvassing methods, or the system -of having citizens call volun tarily at polling places, should be used more extensively in the fifth liberty loan campaign, set for next Spring. Stories of self-sacrifice by Individ uals and business interests, of fine records of loan workers, of unceasing effort throughout the three weeks' period, of clever methods and efficient salesmanship, of enthusiastic determi nation which stopped at neither moral discouragement nor physical handicaps from influenza illness, are reaching the Treasury in every mail. Navy Subscription Heavy. "Words'of thanks seem paltry In the face of the deeds now being reported," said one official. The Navy subscribed more than f 140,000,000, said an announcement to day by Rear-Admiral Cowie, Navy lib erty loan officer, and this figure will be raised by later reports. The Army also made a fine record, but the figures are yet incomplete. General Pershing cabled that up to October 14 members of the American expeditionary force had subscribed $1,207,000, and that this probably would run to 2. 000, 000 or more. Officials and employes of 97 -shipyards subscribed $35,386,800, the Ship ping Board announced. If the other 106 yards maintain the same ratio, the grand total for the industry will.be about $75,000,000. an average of more than $150 per man. Big SnbsertptiODS Reported.
