The Paris press todny assert that French aviators, flying over the Laon sector, reported evidences of tho Ger man plan of razing villages and trees which preceded the famous "strategic retreat" on the Arras-Cambrai line last spring. Trees have been felled and vil lages destroyed in what would seem to be the path of the French advance to ward Laon. Everywhere great activity of the 'Girman destruction corps was seen. The victory of General I'ctain's poilus which oddiy enough fell on the anniversary of the capture of Fort L'ouaumont at Vordun caused an out burst of rejoicing here. "It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of this battle in its re lation to our final success," said Lc Matin, toilay. "The victory sounds a death knell to the Germitn hope of re taining the Chemin-des-Dames." Civilians Leave Menin. Amsterdam, Oct. 25.
