(By Associated Press.) Valenciennes has fallen, and allied troops in Italy maintain their pursuit of the Austrians, and west of the Meuse river and in Flanders Foch continues to press the Germans. Canadian troops captured Valenciennes after bitter fighting for more than twenty-four hours i in the area south of the town. With Valenciennes gone, the Germans are not unlikely to give up Tournai and to retreat both in Flanders and south of Valenciennes. British possession of the town and the area east of the Scheldt, south of Valenciennes, outflanks enemy position in Mormal forest, which defend Maubeuge and Mons. It is evident that the Germans must retire or suffer heavy losses in attempting to maintain their insecure po- sitions from Ghent to the region north of the Aisne. The main German position behind the present front is the Antwerp-Namur-Metz line. In Belgium the allies, including Americans, have reached the Scheldt on a wide cee southwest of Ghent and are reported to be west of the river at Eecke, seven miles southwest of Ghent.
