"HONORABLY."
"We have thus far stood the hit-
ter struggle honorably.' said ticn-
eral Ludcndorff recently "and are
confident that we will continue to
do so."
Perhaps it should be explained
that when a (ierman militarist
says ' honorably" he means "success-
fully". In modern Germany any-
thing you can get away with is
"honorable". Wherefore nothing
hut stinging defeat will bring the
German people to their senses and

time since September 26.

In Flanders the Germans are reported to have set fire
to the railways junctions of Hottlers and Menin and to be re-
moving their hip g-'in from the Belgian coast around the sub-
marine base of Osteinl which is being outflanked on the south.
The Belgians now are five miles from Thourout while the Brit-
ish are across the Lys seven miles north of Lille and are
within seven miles of Courtrai.
Important Railway Cfenters.
All these are important raihvay centers and Lille is the
strongest German position north of Cambrai.
General Berthelot speedily is driving the Germans back to
their old lines in the Rheims region. Further gains have been
made between the V'esl and the Aisne and north oPKheims.
Several miles more and the French will be in the open
country north of Rheims and threatening the immediate com-
munications of Laon. The French advance here and east of the
Suippe is placing the Germans between Rheims and the .Suippe
in a pocket from which they may have difficulty in withdraw-
ing. In Champagne there has been little change but the
French have rendered useless the railroad running through the
Argonne forest from Challerange. This makes possible a fur-
ther American movement on the eastern edge of the Argonne.
North and west of Montfaucon in the center of the American
sector Avest of the Meuse the Americans have moved forward.
British troops Tuesday morning occupied the important
Turkish railroad center and base of Damascus.
WIDE GAPS ARE TORN
IN HINDENBURG LINE
Haig's Troops Crash in Between St.
Quentin and Le Catelet
London. Oct. 2. Wide gaps have
been torn in the German line be-
tween St. Otientin and Le Catelet
by Field Marshal Haig's forces. The
British commander rep.orted today
the breaking of the German line on
the I'oiisomnies-Beaurevoir front.
( Beaurcvoir is 2 1-2 miles east of Le
Catelet and Fonsommes is nearly
five miles north of St. Quentin.)
Sequehart 4 1-2 miles southeast
of Belli has been captured as has
the hamlet of Presclcls just to the
north.
South of Cambrai British and
Scottish troops together with Xew
Zealanders have occupied Creve-

France Tuesday. Oct. 1 I By The As-
sociated Press i General Debeny's
army won one of the important suc-
cesses today and while General De-
beney's forces were passing through
St. Quentin to Rouvroy across the
Sonime. General Berthflot's army
made a big gain on the St. Thierry
massif northwest of Rheims. Fur-
ther east General Gouraud's army
advanced still farther north toward
vital German points.
( icneral Berthelot 's men have vir-
tually traversed the hills between
Rheims and the Aisne. On that river
they hold the left hank as far cast
as Coticevreaux and have taken Bou-
vatneourt. llervelon. Trivigny and
St. Thierry. They are also in La
Neuvillettc. a mile and a half north-
west of Rheims.
General Gouraud attacking along
the whole front in the Champagne
sector advanced north of Aure to
within a thousand yards of Liry.
Further east even more important
results were obtained in the ad-
vance north of Gcmcunvillc and Bin-
arville. His line was pushed on to

Vottzieres line into a most awk-
ward position.
Their communications with the
forces operating against the Amer-
icans in Argonne forest and east
of it virtually are cut off which
means that this region becomes im-
tenanble. German attacks in the re-
gion south of Liry were repulsed
with severe losses to the enemy af-
ter sharp engagements.
AMERICANS AND HUNS
IN BUSHWHACKING FIGHT
Pershing's Men Move Forward Over
Hotly Contested Sectors.
With the American Army in
France Oct. 1. It was reported late
tonight that the Americans on the
front between the Meuse and the
Argonne had again moved forward
over one of the most hotly contest-
ed sectors of their advance the

The situation on the American!
front along the Brieulle-Binarville i

throu the Argonne) remained virtu-
ally unchanged today from yester-
day. It still is evident that the Ger-
mans estimate fully- the nattrre of
the American effort and are hurry-
ing tip all available reserves. This
is true not only of the enemy artill-
ery and infantry but also oi the air
forces. During the day. German air-
planes began appearing over the
American lines the assumption be-
ing that these machines had been
withdrawn from other fronts in an
effort to minimize the American
supremacy of the last few days.
Weather For Airmen Is Bad.
Weather conditions were far from
favorable for the airmen so that
little could be accomplished. If
anything the American aviators
with characteristic enterprise more
than held the upper hand.
During the day the chief activ-
ity of the Americans was in holding
and consilidatir.g their positions in
the face of heavy counter-attacks
especially on the debatable ground

CORNERSTONE OF HIN-
DENBURG SYSTEM
HAS FALLEN
Capture of St. Quentin Shakes the
Entire Line.
Paris Oct. 2. St. Quentin is
taken and the cornerstone of the
Hiiulcnburg system is fallen. Thanks
to the prodigious and unrelenting
efforts of the armies of General De-
betiey and General Rawlinson un-
der the general direction of General
Fayolle that fine soldier who com-
mands the group of armies in that
sector it is a most resounding tri-
umph. But it is not the only place
where victory smiles upon the allied
arms.
Belgian forces strongly opposed
are making headway toward Rotilcrs
and Menin. The Germans are pre-
paring to evacuate the Lille region.
British armies around Cambrai are
successfully fighting one of the fier-
cest battles of the war. General
Berthelot is driving the enemy back
between Rheims and the Aisne and
"General" Bourad has reached Chal-
lerang the important railroad cen-
ter at the western opening of Grand
Pre gap.
St. Qtientin's fall shakes the
whole German system. Its effect
will be w idespread. This will be ac-
centuated by the strong push that
is being made in the upper Disc val-
ley. The allies here are across the
multiple water ways upon which the
enemy so largely based his defenses.
Before them lies the open country
which is ideal for tanks.
Crown Prince Is Blocked.
Under the circumstances the hold
ing by the crown prince's armies of
their positions on the Ailette and
the Aisne is out of the question. Out
flanked from the north and harried
by General Mangin who is now
along the Aisne as far as south of
Craonne the crown prince s armies
are in a much graver position than
were those of Generals von Boehm
and von Hutier on the Marne and
the Avre in Inly. The same danger
threatened the armies opposing
Gouraud.
Thus the first logical result of the
capture of t. Quentin must be the
retreat of the enemy from the Laon-
nois and Champagne sectors if he
wishes to escape disaster. But it
will not be enough that their line
breaks up under the blows of the al-
lies. A general German retreat be-
comes more and more imperative.
The problem for General Lttdetidorff
is how to prevent it from being con-
verted into a disaster which is the
usual sequej of a retirement of
masses closely engayed in a for-
midable struggle.
(By The Associated Press)
With the American Army .North-
west of Verdun Tuesday Oct. 1.
American detachments in the Ar-
gonne forest continue to clean up
that wilderness sending back scores
of machine guns trench mortars
and other captured material. On the
salvage list there appeared today
three observation balloons. They
had been left in their sheds at the
eastern edge of F'xcrmont wood.
In addition to their work of re-
constructing bridges and roads the
engineers have had the task of re-
moving numerous mines. As hap-
pened north ot" the Marne many po-
sition abandoned by the Germans
had been elaborately equipped with
mines but. as also was the case
north of the lUarne almost every
mine was sprung by the engineers
who traced the wire to a trap left

Below the level of the town there

turned into comfortable even lux-

Information reaching American
headquarters continues to indicate
confusion behind the German lines
not in the way of traffic condition
but in organization. It is known the
enemy is using units as small as
platoons to reinforce those in the
fighting line.
Paris Oct. 2. (1 lavas Agency)
Cambrai has been mined but the
British forces have founght around
the town and thus have foiled the
plans of the enemy. The Germans
decided on Sept. 1. to hum Cambrai
and forced the civilian population
to leave.
London. (Jet. 2 p. m.l Be
tween Cambrai and St. Quentin. the
German line of defense has been
broken. It is uncertain what lines
the enemy has in the rear. The Brit-
ish advance threatens the German
line of retreat in the Oise valley and
also from the massif of St. Gohain.
Between the Aisne and the Vcsle
rivers French troops in the last
three days have advanced on a
front of ten miles to a depth oi three
to four miles. The Germans now
are retreating toward the line they
held in l'M4.
