GREAT COAL CENTER FALL TO ALLIES (Continued from Page 1.) be of use to the Germans. { In Flanders the Belvians, British and French continue their pres- sure against the stiffened resistance of the enemy. The salient, driv- en by the Allies, threatens the German hold on Belgium and an ad- vance of perhaps ten miles toward Ghent probably would compel the enemy to retire to the northern Meuse line. In withdrawing from the Lille salient, the Germans are endeav- oring to get out of the giant trap which Foch has constructed. While hammering the formidable Cambrai-Laon line by thrusts in Flanders | and from Rheims to the Meuse, he is bending back the German flanks. German supply lines are menaced by Allied advance on the flanks and should they be cut the German situation would be desperate. It would seem, however, that a retirement, unless to a great depth woudl be of little ultimate avail toward putting off a retreat all along the line from the North sea to Alsace. [By Associated Press) BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Oct. 3.—Haig’s forces are reported to have captured Ramicourt, Gouy, Le Catelet and Seque- hart, altho not officially. Two thousand Germans were taken prison- ers today. WITH THE AMERICANS WEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 3.—The Americans have advanced from seven to eight kilometers thru the tangled Argonne forest since they started their offensive. This was accomplished by smothering machine-gun nests, bridging great masses of wire entanglements and dragging artillery and wagons by hand. Smash the Hun. “Buy LIBERTY Bonds.
