BHA1, Oct. 10. Morning. (By As
sociated l'ress.) British and Amer
ican forces continued to advance rap
lly and are driving the demoralized
Germans before them, according to
all available reports on this front.
The whole battle is on a field that
was aflame thruout the night. The
many fires have completely destroy
ed towns and farm houses.
Quarter Million I'lco
PARIS, Oct. 10. A quarter of a
million GermanR now are In full re
treat between Cumbrui and St. Quen
tin with the allies hot at their heels,
according to the battlefront reports
today. At some points the advance
has exceeded 15 miles In the last two
days.
This forward movement of the al
lies Is regarded as the first step In
the great general retreat of the Ger
mans which now seems Inevitable.
The success in the Cambral-St. Quen
tin section of the front was in a large
measure made possible by the splen
did achievements of General Gou
rand's men and the Americans from
Ithelms to the Mouse. Because a
break in that part of the front would
have much worse consequence for the
enemy than anywhere else, the Ger
mans concentrated most of their re
serves there.
Vouzloi-s Object ivo
Yesterday General Gouraud's
forces advanced still farther toward
the Important Junction of Vouziers.
while the Americans pushed forward
and joined the French south of
Grandpre, thus completing the con
quest of the Argonne forest.
The result of Marshal Koch's skill
ful strategy is that the region of
l.aon and the St. Gobain massif has
become so dangerous that the evac
uation of this vast and important
pocket seems imperative.-
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS, Oct. 10.
Vigorously pressing the advantage
gained by the breaking of the Ger
man line between Cambrai and St.
Quentln, the British, Krench and
American armies have widened the
great wedge In this area to such an
extent that the entire German front
from Rheltns northward seems to be
collapsing.
The disintegration of this line is
being hastened by the vigorous
strokes delivered by the t rench
along the Alsne, while farther east

battle area Is being hammered lmrd

After a night of henvy riring rrom

morning from Canihrai south to the

Into net Ion. Tho Canudlaus
hud hnril going at one place Just
north of Canihrai, 'hut with groat gal
lantry swept on after annihilating
tho Germans who tried to bar their
way. From there on, tho resistance
wonkeued and tho Canadians, with
tho Knglish hurried eastward smoth
ering tne usual screen ot tierinnn
muchlno gunnoiH ua they wont on.
Canadian and Hrfiish troops met i
in tho center of Cambrai, which was
entered from hoth north and south
and quickly mopped up. Many Ger
mans had escaped hut many hun
dreds who had been held thero to
lunch a counter-attack wore either
killed or captured. Somo of the en
emy troops are still In deep cellars,
two stories under ground and In the
tunnels the (icrmans dug during
their occupation of the city. Those
aro being routed out nnd sent hack
to tho cages.
Altho many fires were started hy
Ihe Germans, the town was found not
to bo as badly damaged as had been
feared. The solid buildings with
stood tho names well. It was quite
evident, however, (hat It wns no
fault of the Germans that tho city
had not been razed.
(HTinnns in I light
South of the city tho Third and
Fourth armies rapidly ovorcamo en
emy opposition. Tho Germans start
ed fleeing soon after tho attack be
gan, for they realized they were
fighting a battle in which they could
hope for no success.
Tho front lino for twenty miles be
gan moving rapidly eastward. Then
ciinin reports from air pines, with
which tho Hky was literally crowded
that Wambaix was taken. Soon the
capture of llarcourt was reported.
From then on tidings camo in rnpld
Kucc-ession of vl tinges falling before
the allied advance.
Solvlgny, f'aullery, IJgny, Mon-
tlgny and Ma rid, were quickly re
ported and passed and soon Ih
allies wore cloning in on Caudry and
Hertry.
At the same time from tho north U
was reported that Kscaiidoeuvros
ca.-d of Cambrai had been taken and
that Incliy was being approached.
Tin- Cambral-I.n Cateau road was
cro-ised and then the railway betweer
St, Quentln and Hertry vas cut. So
honcourt wan then In sight and Fon
taine, iNotro l)ame, further south,
had been reached by tho French. Hy
I hut lime It was clear tho enemy was
badly smashed and the Hrttlnh and
Americans sood on tho threshold of
the wido open country.
Cavalry In Pursuit
It was about that tlmo that the
cavnlry which had 'been waiting pour
ed thru tho wldo breach In the now
shattered llindcnburg system and
streamed out Into the country be
yond. Fast "whippet" tanks and ar
mored cars also crashed forward and
came Into action. They performed
extromely valuablo services In pursu
ing tho fleeing Gormnns killing many
nnd rounding up a largo number of
prisoners. They smashed down
strong points held by rear-guards
who had been waiting for the cavalry
knowing that It had come thru the
line.
Cavalry forces aro now apparently
well east of the towns reported enp-
turod. . Tho allies, having thus bro
ken thru, tho Gormuns north and
south for many miles nre endangered
for their lines aro being turned. He-
treats on oven a broader scale than
J Mint now in progress may be expect
ed.
Officers directing the attack were
distinctly satisfied as the news came
back in reports from ulrplanes and.
by runners, hut finally one came
back that showed hotter than any
thing else how completely the enemy
had been defeated. This was a re
port from a nair patrol that Hrltlsh
Infantry had been seen marching as
If on parade in a column of fours

The men were swinging along entlro-
unmolestcd hy the enemy.

Another patrol brought word of
tho Germans fleeing in tho greatest
disorder as far east as Le Cateau.
Knemy troops and transports were
streaming along tho road and over
the fields for, with tho Hrltlsh cav
alry galloping over tho country and
with "whippet" tanks and armored
cars working, they realized that it
was extremely dangerous for them to
tarry anywhere.
Hetwoen Lens and tho Hcurpo the
Hrltlsh also aro advancing and are
In touch with tho Germans to the
west of tho lino of Vltry-en-Artols,

Such a thing as troops who have
Just attacked marching thru a town
10,0(10 yards from tho place where
thoy started Is a thing that has not
happened In this war for a long time.
Such a thing could only happen now
when tho enemy Is defeated, disor
ganized, disheartened nnd running
for his very existence. Tho troops at
Hertry did not tarry there but kept
rinht on marching. Where tho Ger
mans will stop Is, of course. Impossi
ble to tell. It Is known that they
have been working on a line running
generally back of Lo Cateau, but
