placements WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. 6. 11 a. m.
(By the Associated Press) Another
formidable enemy defense line, on
which the Germans planned to make
a stand, was smashed by the Ameri
cans late Tuesday when they captured
the town of Lo Tanne in the bend of
the Meuse south of Mouzon. From Le
Tanne the Hue extends along the
Meuse through Pouilly and Inor and
eastward.
This lino was part of the new de
fenses along the Meuse from Stenay
northward to Sedan. An elaborate
trench system recently had been com
pleted, along with numerous wire, en
tanglements, concrete dugouts and
miles of concrete emplacements for
heavy machine guns.
The v(Ilage of Beaumont where
there are more than 400 French civil
ians is. the particular target of the
Germans. All last night they deluged
Beaumont with poison gas.
Germans Warn Allies
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. G. (By tho Associated
Press) In a wireless message yester
day addressed to the French and
American commander, the Germans
reminded the Allies that there were
many civilians in the villages north
of the Franco-Belgian line and sug
gested that the artillerymen be noti
fied lo this effect. None of tho vil
lages was named, however.
The message was signed by the Ger
man field commander.
Huns Destroying Property
WIITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. 6. (By the
Associated Press) West of the Meuse,
according to reports reaching Ameri
can headquarters, the Germans are
destroying property and cutting down
trees along the roadways. American
aviators reported today that the high
way from Stenay northward to Olizy-sur-Chiers
is blocked every few yards
by trees across the road. The de
struction begins just beyond Stenay
and extends northeast and north from
one to three miles.
Plight of Reserves
As an indication of tho plight of the
retreating Germans it is known that
on the entire western front the enomy
has in reserve only one division which
has been out. of tho battle one month
and lour divisions which have been
resting from two lo four weeks. Two
of the divisions are east of the Mouse.
The Germans, it is believed, have
used all their reserves on the front op
posite the Americans, the last enemy
division of reserves on this sector
having been thrown into the desperate
effort to stem tho American advance.

control the next congress.
Party mauagors on both sides pre
dicted they would have substantial
working majorities, but the returns
showed between 50 and 75 congres
sional districts still unreported and
the lineup so close that the scales
might easily be turned in favor of ei
ther party.
The governorship of New York too
was surrounded with the same uncer
tainty. The'contest between Governor
Whitman and his Democratic oppon
ent, Alfred E. Smith, was so close that
it appeared the soldier vote would set
tle it.

life will be retired or at least have
close shaves by yesterday's voting.

i
Forced toa realization of impending
peril by the progress of the British
southeast of Valenciennes and tho
; French and Americans south of Sedan,
i Germany's shattered armies are in
i ! rapid retreat from the Belgian frontier
i to the Aisnc river. So rapid is the re
tirement that it is very difficult to de
termine the exact location of the con
Tending forces along this S5 miles of
front.
i British forces have cleared the bar-
rier of Mormal forest and threaten to
drive a wedge between Mous and Mau
s beuge. To the south the French have
launched an attack that has forced
i the enemy back from threo to four
1 miles while along the Meuso the
' Americans, in close co-operation with
the French just to the westward,have
' overcome a stubborn resistance by the
' enemy and moved still nearer the Se
1 dan-Longuyon railroad,
fc There is evidence that the Germans
arc not carrying out tho orderly re
treat that marked their retirement
from the Marne aud Somme salients.
' Batteries of field guns with horses at
tached, have been captured and a vast
quantity of munitions Avhich could bo
: moved quickly under ordinary circum-
stances has fallen into the hands of
the allies.
To the north Ghent is closely invest
ed by the French, Belgian and British f I
troops. The fighting there is appar- II
outly between German rear guards and , E
the allied forces, for civilians are said II
to be close behind the lines, and Queen
Elizabeth of Belgium watched the be- il.B
ginning of tho assault against the citj f
Tho line of tho Scheldt is no longer ' ( '
any protection lo the enemy in Bel- ),f H
glum. It has been orossed everywhere 1 f H
from Ghent to Valenciennes and it is II
probable that allied troops have been I 'II
flung across the canal north of Ghent. jll II
Between Ghent and Brussels there is ,j Mil
no great natural obstacle except Uie ' fl
Dendre river but it seemg probable ' ;fl
that the enemy will not turn at bay
until he reaches the Namur-Brussels- If III
Antwerp line which is said to have f II
been prepared for a grim struggle. j fl
