FHE5CH (Night) Our troops
eontlmied to pursue the enemy
4 throughout the day 'on an extended
front between the Sambre and the

local resistance, made an Important x
.advance, which .exceeded ten kilo
meters at certain points and treed
numerous localities with their civil
population.
The enemy, harassed by- our ad
. vanced guards, was obliged In the
-hajte ot his precipitate retreat to
abandon guns and considerable ma
terial, which It Is Impossible to
. enumerate. Everywhere prisoners
remained In our hands.
East of the Sambre we reached
- the eastern outskirts' of ' Nouvton
, and Regnaval forests.
Further south we have 'taken
Fontalne-lee-Vervlns' and the town

OEIUIAIf (Day) There were In

On the battlefield between the

'assumed large proportions In the

Xandrecles. In the evening the
enemy positions ran west of Bavay,

Mormal forest, east of Landrecles
and east of Oulse.
Between 'the Oise and the Memo

Near Bethel.
London, Nov. 6. The best comment
on the military situation on the battle
front In France and Belgium Is fur
nished by the Berlin War Office, which
announces to-day that the Germans
"have withdrawn their fronts between
the Scheldt and the Olio and between
the Olse and the Meuse."' That Is an
other way of saying that the British,
Belgian, French and American forces
are" continuing successfully their vic
torious march against the enemy on all
parts of the far flung front.
The advance by the French troops un
der Gen. -Debeney was one of the great
est one day gains since the allied offen
sive began In July. On almost their
entire part of the front tho French swept
forward for an average gain of six
miles. Vervins, Montcornet and Rethel
were cap t tired, as well as numerous
smaller villages and many prisoners.
The French are continuing their advance
and at last reports were well beyond the
three town mentioned.
Despttea heavy rainfall the British
continued to advance on nearly all ports
ot their front Cartlgnles and Marbalx
fell Into British hands. Crossing the
Sambre at Berlalmont the British cap
tured Leval and Aulnoye.' At Aulnoye
there Is an Important railroad junction
and this too Is now In British hands.
Further north the British crossed the
road between Bavay and. Avesnes,
reaching, the railroad which runs south
of Bavay, arid are drawing near to
Maubeuge. Thiers was sharp fighting
here v between the advancing British
troops and the. German rear guards. On
the left Canadian troops who had crossed
the Scheldt continued their advance and
captured several villages. .
To the east ot Voharies Italian troops
have reached Le Thuel. and are contin
uing their progress. Tho French every
where are maintaining contact with the
enemy rear guards. The Fourth Army
has crossed the' Alsne on both sides of
Rethel. worth of tho Argonne they
have taken Lamets and La Casslne.

mans met the swlmmjng Americans. The
enemy had "ensconced himself on the
east bank with carefully selected ma
chine gun position which raked every
point ofthe bank, where effort to land
could be enfiladed or met with direct
fire.
Some men were killed in the water.
More were drowned after having been
nounded, for no unwounded man dared
stop to rescue a comrade if the ma
noeuvre was to be a successful one.
Notwithstanding some losses and the
fact that the swimmers could not de
fend themselves many of them reached
the east bank of the river with lines
which were drawn taut across the
stream. Others floated on rafts and
collapsible canvas boats. These men
had lets success than the swimmers,
because they were better marks for tho
enemy's rifles and the boats could easily
be "sunk by bullets even If their occu
pants were not hit
Close to where the swimmers crossed
the engineers began to throw over pon
toon boats and a tiny foot bridge. The
pontoons were destroyed by the enemy,
but the bridge remained Intact and
added materially to the constantly In
creasing numbers of men arriving on
the west -bank of the river. Soon after
dark the first brigade was across the
first barrier ond more men were ready
to make the journey.
Second Phase of Operation.
The second phase of the perilous un
dertaking then began the crossing of
the kilometer of mud stretching be
tween the river and the canal, "which
though It was under a tremendous
enemy fire was not held by Infantry.
The Americans stumbled across the
mud through the withering fire. Their
feet sank Into the mud and soon tho
pace of the men was slowed down ti
a laborious walk. Nevertheless they got
through, even If the task caused some
depletion in their numbers.
The next phase constituted the cross
ing of, the narrower but deeper canal,
with its sheer sides, and the Germans
almost at the very top of the eastern
edge.' The swimmers again got Into ac
tion and plunged through, notwithstand
ing the enemy fire and ecrambled to the
top. Here the men divided their atten
tion in driving off the enemy and help
ing npn-swlmmers across by the same
method used at the river. Two bridges
finally were laid down by the engineers,
greatly facilitating the crossing.
These two bridges withstood attempts
of the enemy to destroy them, and con
tributed largely to the speed In getting
the American troops over.
When the swimmers reached tho edge
of tho canal they could not land with
out the aid of grappling hooks, which
had to be caught on top of the wall
cdgtng the canal, so that the swimmers

enough task for men undisturbed by the
enemy's guns, but Its accomplishment
was almost Inconceivably difficult under
the violent enemy fire.
With two 'waterways and two-thirds
of a mlln of mudland successfully nego
tiated, the Americans had only. the cus

tho Meuse, gave way without' great re
sistance before men whd could brave
