BY TUK ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Oct. 3. Lens, the chief conl minins
city of northern France, bus been
evacuated bv tlie Germans. In their
widespread retirement movement near
the Kelsrinn bonier Armentieres also
has been evacuated.
Tlie scope of the enemv retreat is
thus accentuated in the liuht of the
official announcement from llerlin.
It now seems certain that the line to
the south of Lens, Inward Douai, will

divine up Armentieres. the Hermans
are also lavinir Lille open to the al
lies. Lille is less than seven miles
ciiHt-southeast of Ariuentieres.
On 20-Milo Front
On a front of twenty miles between
Armentieres and Lens tlio Germans
continue to retire from the salient
west of Lille. North of St. Quentin
the British asaln are stormins the
German defense lines, while In Cham
pagne the French are pressing north
ward, threatening the German communications.
Evacuation of tho Llllo salient
Is the direct result of the allied ad
vances in Flanders and around Cam
brat. Tho British are keeping close
nt the heels of tho Germans who al-
ready have retired an average of two
miles, but there is no indication ot
when the enemy will stop.
Oiiitiime Pressure
In Flanders the Helgians, British
and French continue their pressure
against stiffened resistance or the
enemy. The salient driven by the al
lies threatens tho German hold on
Belgium and an advance of perhaps
ten miles toward Ghent probably
would compel the enemy to retire to
the northern Meuso line. On the
Camhrai-St. Qucnlln front tho Hrltlsh
have maintained their gains notwith
standing strong German counter
thrusts. The now British attack
north of St. Quentin probably Is
against the Beaurevoir-Fonsommes
line where Field .Marshal 'Hals holds
a sharp salient.
Generals Ilertholot and Gouraud
continue their attacks north of
Khelms and in Champagne and have
taken further ground from the en
emy. North of Khelms the enemy
soon will he In the open where the
French advance may ho more rapid.
In Champagne General Gouraud has
captured Challerangc and his guns
now command the Junction of Vou
zlers, farther north. In losing Chal
lerange the Germans lost command
of tho railway running thru tho Ar
gonne forest at Grandpre. The line
was tho main supply line ot the Ger
