a ea é THE WEATHER: GENERALLY FAIR THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR. KAISER’S ABD ALLIES WITH ‘ONE HARD BLOW CAN BREAK LINE German Defenses ‘Very Wobbly Under Pressure of Entente Armies. ALLOPPOSITION OVERCOME Cavalry Pours Through Breach in the Now Shattered Hin- * denburg System. With the British Army on the C: brai St. Quentin Front, Wednesda: Oct. 9.—By last night the Americans and British had reached a point where it was practically certain that with | one hard blo Wthe German line could ; be cracked. As a matter of fact, cav-} alry probably could have gone through the line last night. Only patrols were sent out, however. After a night of heavy firing from British guns, the third and fourth armies again attacked|Order Deferring Selection of! this morning from Cambai south to a point held by the Fench. At the same time the French and Canadian troops launched a powerful. attack tor miles extending north of Cambrai. The Can- adians had hard going at one place} just north of Cambrai, but with great gallantry they swept on after annihi ‘ating the Germans who barred their way. The Canadians from that point swept eastward, smothering the ma- chine gun resistance as they went. . Many Killed. ‘When the allied troops poured in trom thg orth and south many Ger- mans had); escaped from Cambrai, but many hundreds who had been. held there to launch a counter attack were either killed or captured. Also many fires had been started -by the Ger. mans, -the solid buildings withstood the flames well... It was quite evident, however,. that it was through no fault of the Germans that the city had not been leveled. q Overcome Opposition. South ‘of the ciff*therthira a fourth armies rapidly overcame enemy opposition. The German front line for a distance of 20- miles: began moving eastward. .Then came reports from virplanes which darkened the sky that .Wambiaux had been taken. Soon the capture of Harcourt was reported. From then on tidings came in rapid succession of villages falling before the allied advance. It was clear that the enemy was badly smashed and that the British and Americans stood! on the threshold of wide open country. The cavalry poured through the wide; breach in the now-shattered Hinden-: burg system and swept into the open: country beyond. Fast whippets and; armored cars which then came into; action performed valuable services ini pursuing the enemy and rounding up! prisoners. They smashed down strong} points held by the rearguards which | had been waiting for the cavalry. ater. INDICT. TUTOR OF MRS.

The allies have thus broken through and the Germans north and south for many miles are endangered for their lines are being turned. Retreats on even a broader scale than now {in drogress may now be expected. Officers directing the attack | were satisfied as the news came'back from airplanes and runners, and finally one came back that showed how completely the enemy 'had been defeated. This was from an air patro] that British infan- {try had been seen marching as if on parade in columns of two and {four in the town of Bertry. The men were swinging along entirely junmolested by the enemy. In Great Disorder. Another patrol brought word of the Germans fleeing in the igreatest disorder as tay east as La Cateau. Enemy troops and transports, it was said, were streaming along the roads and over | the fields trying to make their escape. i Such a. thing as troops who have just attacked marching ‘through a town 10,000 yards trom the place where they st:q*ted, {is a thing that has not happened in this war for a long time. Such ta thing could only happen now when the enemy is defated, dis- | organized, disheartened and running for his very existence. i (By Associated Press.) Vigorously pressing the advantage gained by the breaking ;of the German line between Cambrai and St. Quentin. the allies 4 i; have widened the wedge in this sector to such an extent that the j entire line from Reims north seems crumbling. The disintegration jof the line here is being hastened by vigorous blows delivered by the French along the Aisne, while further east the German flank jis being hammered hard by another French force, and in the Ar- \ gonne.and the Champagne. by. the Americans. | The British commander has swung the main direction of his | drive northeastward and already has pushed to within two miles of the important junction of Le Cateau. The taking of Le Cateau, which seems imminent, will cut the last of'the German lateral lines which connects the north front, with the salient of Laon and | #oparently will necessitate the evacuation of the entire line of | Laon. : The victorious allied forces continue to press forward, having: isweft through, a great part of this area in great strides. driving | before them a disorganized enemy. The resistance of the Germans iwas reported to have been stiffening during the night, however, {indicating that a determined effort may be made to save the rail- tway junction at La Cateau. PENETRATE MAIN LINE. Washington, Oct. 10.—Penetration of the German main line ‘of resistance west of the Meuse by the Americans against fresh enemy divisions is reported in Gen.
