(By Associated Press).
PARIS, Oct. 17. The whole German army of General
von Arnim ,comprising seventeen divisions, is in retreat
from the North Sea to the region of Lille, having been
beaten back and overthrown by the Allies' attack.
Today 'the retirement is assuming the proportions of a
rout The fate of the German defenses along the Belgium
coast seem sealed, and the Lille industrial area has been
entered. by the allie dadvance under King Albert on a
thirty mile front.
The extreme right wing of the German defenses in the
west has been wrenched away from the protecting sea.
Hencfeorth the line which has been buttressed by the sea
on one end and the Swiss frontier of the other can be out
flanked. The enemy is powerless to retrieve the situation.
The German resistarice is crumbling except in the Ar
gonne region, where the Americans and French are fight
ing desperately. The Prussian guards are dying but not
surrendering in their attempt to-save the right wing.
