have no doubt It was shattered. The
Germans havo already lost many men on
this southern side of the city, and the
Canadians were surprised at tho number
of German dead lying about the Ilhonelle
River after the fighting of recent days.
For the sun Ivors it ls a hopeless busi
ness, for they know now that they are
not only beaten in the field but in the
world.
"We hae been betrayed," said ono of
tho German officers today, "and that ls
why we have lost the war."
Thursday night In fiont of our lines
near Audenarde, where Scots and Welsh
fusiliers 'were approaching Illseghem,
and south of them Lancashire fusiliers
and Durhams were close up to the
Scheldt canal at Meersche, the enemy
set fire to many housts and farms and
all tho sky was lit up by a red glare,
so that the German soldiers might bee
the movements of our men.
'o Rarrase to Aid American
Our advance during these last two
days has been steady and successful,
and tho enemy Is retreating In front
of our ScottlRh rifles nnd Kings Own
Scottish Borderers and other troops
south of Audenarde. With tho French to
the north of us. American troops are
fighting and have done very gallant
work through these villages and woods.
They had a hard time, for the artillery
In dupport of them hB been unable to
lire as effectively as usual, owing to the
anxiety of our gunners to avoid shell
ing civilians, to the Americans hae
had to advance against machine-gun
fire with rifles and bayonets.
Further across the French frontier
toward the town of Audenarde in Bel
gium, there is another battle In prog
ress which began Thursday with Bel
gian, French, American and British
troops attacking side by side. It ls
a battle among Flemish villages and
farmsteads where the peasants are still
living, helplessly entangled ln nets of
norror, with German machine gunners
firing from their windows and Allied
troops trampling into their courtyards
with naked bayonets, and the killing of
men In their bedrooms and cellars.
Into the villages from which the
enemy has been lately driven, poison
gas comes from a shell fire which is not
very loud, but jnakes a little hiss aB
each shell bursts and liberates Its fumes.
We stopped all use of gas because of
these civilians, but the Germans are
using It every day, and In the Flemish
villages many babies are dead and dy
ing and our ambulances are carrying
away women and girls gasping for
breath and blinded by this foul weapon
of war.
They were fighting hard Thursday In
a wood called Spltalbosch, which the
enemy strongly defended behind bar
ricades dug in great roots of trees. It
was like the fighting the American
troops had In the Argonne, and "very
difficult and perilous, but these men
lave gone forward with fine courage and
have routed the enemy out from many
of his lairs in this woodland, and by
their good service have helped the
progress of the French on their left.

BRITISH PRISONERS VICTIMS
OF ABUSE BY RED GUARDS
London Chronicle's Correspondent Writes of Experiences in Rus
sian Prison Improvement Noted When Only Ten Are
Put in Single Cell
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright. 11B. iu Wrto Vorl; Times Co.
London, Nov. 2.
Though Eeveral parties of British sub-,
jects have recently been released from
Ilussla, the London Chronicle's special
correspondent and a number of other
Englishmen aro still confined In Tetro
grad. Tl)e following dispatch from the
Chronicle correspondent has been re
ceived. "Fortress ot St. Peter and St. Paul,
Petrograd:
"Since my last letter there has been
a change. On Friday morning, about
1:30, we were again served with dried
crusts and cabbage soup made with
small fish. About C:30 a. m we were
aroused and told to pack our things and
prepare to be transferred to a destina
tion unknown. We formed up by twos
in the corridor and watted for further
Instructions.
"Most of the officers were In a very
despondent frame of mind, expecting to
be sent to Kronstadt and many expected
to be murdered on the" way, Some of
them were to weak from lack of food
that they were hardly able to stand.
"Willie we were waiting, a painful In
cident occurred. Ono of the officers was
standing a ery slight distance put of
line and a rted Guard took his rifle and
struck him with the butt with all his
might. Then the lied Guard, with a foul
oath, fumbled for his revolver and
threatened to shoot him on the spot.
This, however, was happily averted.
"EngllHh and French prisoners were
then ordered to fall out and were taken
back to the cells, where they were shut
in in parties of ten. An eyewitness
later told me what happened to the
others. They were ordered to double
down to barges, the Fortress of Peter
and Paul being situated right on the
banks of the Neva.
I'rUoncri Abuied by tluordi
"Those who were unable to run fast
enough were helped with the butts of
the guards' rifles, One poor old priest,
over seventy years of age, received dis
graceful treatment. He was seised by
the beard, dragged along, kicked and
beaten by the Red Guards, The same
thing happened to old Baron Wrangel,
also over seventy years old. Later on
civilian prisoners were brought back
from the barges and again locked up.
"One young officer who Incurred the
displeasure of a Red Guard was not
allowed in with the others, and was
told they 'would settle with him when
the barges started,' The usual report
made In such, cases Is that the prisoner
attempted to escape and was shot.
"We Immediately felt the benefits of
our change, as we were all together a4

"On Sunday morning we were allowed
Into the corridor for about three-quarters
of an hour, and we had a good chat
and compared notes. From newspapers
smuggled Into the fortress we learned
of Balfour's stern note to tho Bolshevik!
about Cromle's murder and the arrest of
British subjects, and the Russian an
swer. Balfour's note seems to hae pro
duced a ery considerable effect.
Guards Much Htrlcter
"Our regime Is much Improved, The
attitude of our guards ls ln general
quite correct, but they are much stricter
than before We also are Inclined to
grumble at the prices charged for food,
cigarettes, etc. Every day we are ofTl
dally permitted to send out to buy
things.
"We generally receive our purchases
about 2 o'clock In the morning, and
get virtually nothing for our money.
This morning, for exafnple, we received
twenty small potato pancakes, about
two and a half pounds of bread, and
fewer than 200 cigarettes for 150 rubles.
Our cell is a rectangle 21 by 12 feet,
with an arched roof about ten feet
at the highest point. There Is a small
window on one wall about six, and a
half feet from the floor and about 3 by 2
feet. Two of the panes are on hinges,
and we use it as our meat safe. In the
middle room there is a small Iron bed
stead, without a mattress, fixed to the
wall, and a small, bracketlike table on
the wall, 3V by Hi, In one corner
there Is a latrine and small hand basin
fixed on the wall. A small wooden door
with peepholes tn the middle completes
the equipment of the cell.
"However, we fixed a clothesline
across the cell and practiced our ama
teur hands at laundry work. We have
quite interesting chats In our cell, as
many of our inmates have traveled con
siderably, and we have our two special
ists on literature, and if you want to
know how we feel at any time, you
have only to put your head out of peep
holes and shout along the corridor, 'Are
we downhearted?' to receive a thunder
ing reply of 'No.' "

G0L1AUD ATTACK
HELPS U.S. DRIVE
Undertakes Daring Maneu
ver West of the Argonne
to Aid Americans
FOE RESISTANCE STRONG
By WALTER DURANTY
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Capvrioht, lilt, bv Wu Vorfc Times Co,
With Oeneral doaraud'x Army, Nov. 2.
General Gouraud attacked yesterday
west of the Argonne simultaneously with
a great American drive farther east, Al
though the front of the attack ls only
about seven and one-half miles wide,
from the region of Semuy to FalalBe
both in the hands of the enemy the
Importance of the operation ls very great
in relation to the American push.
Gouratd Is aiming northeastward
and his successful progress ln connection
with the American advance on the other
side of the Argonne, will pinch out the
forest massif north of the Grandpro
defile whose deep ravines and fastnesses,
strengthened by elaborate fortifications,
have proved such a formidable obstacle
to the Americans during the past weeks.
In fact, American progress northward
toward the all-imnortant Junction of
Mezleres would be impossible unless'
this position on their flank were re
duced. '
It is a daring maneuver that Gouraud
Is undertaking, as the southern part of
his line for the fiye miles between Terron
and Falalso is across the Alsne to a
depth of only about a mile a somewhat
Inadequate starting point for an at
tack with a deep river In the rear.
Hirer Blocks Vie of Tanks
During the night many foot-bridges
were prepared and placed In position
without much Interference from the
enemy at 5:15 a- m.. began an artillery
preparation of the utmost violence, last'
Ing thirty minutes. At st tne jnraniry
attacked ln fine weather through a base,
whose cover was augmented by smoke
shells. Owing to the river and broken
character of the ground tanks could not
be used, but the. latest reports Indicate
a very satisfactory progress.
Thus In the loop of the Alsne opposite
Semuy village, Rilley was pocupled by
7; 10 a, m.. and the loop was cleared of
the enemy, a gain of two kilometers
In less than an hour and a half,
Still more "Important was the capture
of Voncq, further south. Hidden .In -mist
and smoke clouds, the French charged,
over the railway mbankment, which
had been the OewUa'fTSat line, ami
