by shells, mutilated beyond any imme

have been caused by an attempt of

BELGIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FLANDERS, Nov. 1. (By the Associated
Press.) After four years of exile the
residents of the newly liberated sec
tions of Belgium are returning to their
homes. On all roads peasants' certs
and other vehicles loaded with house
hold goods are moving north and east
of the rear of the old battle line. The
returning ones plod on behind their
carts silently, apparently unwilling to
rejoice before they had seen their vil
lages and knew their homes wera In
tact. Young men and middle-aged men
were on the roads but they were mov
ing toward the south. Being of military
ape the men were going to Join tha Bel
gian army. They had escaped deporta
tion by hiding In cellars and elsewhere
when the Germans departed.
The population does not appear to
have suffered physically during tho
German occupation. The women and
children Reem healthy and many de
clared they had suffered no actual pri
vation. But.lt was due to the American food

Austria's armlea, ahatterrd by the

Apparently tha enemy has lost all power
of resistance on tha important sectors
of the front. Countleas numbers of

and on the American aectors east and

has been active.
East of tha Plave all the allied armlea
are marching rapidly toward the Tag

The Llvenxa river. 16 miles east of tha
Plave, and 18 mllea from tht Taglla

while to the south along the lowlande
north of the Adriatic, the Italian Third
army continuea to move ahead.
The formidable enemy defense bas
tion around Monte Grappa haa been
broken by the allies, and the Auatrlana
are retiring hurriedly from tha region
between tha Brenta and Plava. North
eaat of Monte Grappa the Itallana have
forced their way through tha Quero

the part of the enemy Is especially
