MAIN DEFENSE LINES AT ST. QUENTIN NEAR FALL IN GREAT DRIVE |Enveloping Movement Continues against Desperate Resistance While Huns Lose only Gains Retrieved During the Week; Hindenburg Line Outposts Are Taken [By Associated Prens} The British and French are making further progress in the rn and battles are taking place along a front of 20 miles, from In the north the Br are pushing toward Le Catelet and have advanced a mile nearer that town on the west capturing an important farm position between Ephey and Lempire. Aus- tralians are east of outpost positions on the Hindenburg line and steady progress of the British threatens the main defenses of the line from Lempire to St. Quentin. West of Cambrai, where the Germans met with a serious | repulse in an attempt to check British operations in the south, |Haig has struck back at the enemy and retaken the strong point of Moeuvres on the Canal du Nord, which was captured y the enemy earlier in the week. The Germans thus lost the only gain they have made since Monday on the Cambrai-St. | Quentin front. | The British have added more prisoners to the total of 10,- 000 announced Thursday night. South and southwest of St. Quentin the French are work- | ing steadily toward the city. After the capture of Benay the | French took Essigny le Grand, less than four miles directly | south of the town. General Mangin’s threat to the security of Chemin des Dames is compelling the Germans to make strong counters to protect the ridge. In the region of Allemant, where the French are within two miles of Malmaison, which dominates the ridge | west, the enemy Thursday night hurled five attacks against the French, all of which were broken with heavy enemy cas- ualties, The advance defenses of the Hindenburg line north and | northwest of St. Quentin are broken. The new front borders | the Hindenburg line almost everywhere except on the west of St. Quentin, where the town is girdled by a most powerful de- fensive system, completed on the east and south by the double | water line of the canal and the Somme river. |Important Gains Scored by the British in Recavture of Moeuvres | LONDON, Sept. 20.—The British advance last night pro- | gressed northwest of St. Quentin, capturing a strong point at | Malassise farm, opposite Le Catelet, says Field Marshal Haig’s | statement. | Important gains were also scored by the British in the |Lempire-Epehy sector, the troops pushing into German lines to a depth of more than a mile. . .Moeuvres, an important point on the Canal du Nord opposite Cambrai, which was taken by the Germans in a counter thrust recently, was recaptured by the British.

NINE-INCH GUNS ARE TRAINED ON METZ DEFENSES Doughboys Chafe at Delay in Being Held Back from Teuton Soil; Artillery Work Wrecking Metz Defense [By United Press|} WASHINGTON, -Sept. 20.—A long range American gun, similar to the German gun which fired on Paris, has been shelling Metz, ac- cording to cables received here today, quoting German official reports. The bombardment has been going on for several days. The word traveled thruout Lorraine, despite German attempts to suppress it. German reports locate the gun near Pont-a-Mousson.
