Twelve hundred German prisoners were rounded up dur- ing the day 4 ROAD TO BRUSSELS OPENED BY ADVANCE IN BELGIUM Whole German Defense System From North | Sea to the Meuse Threatened. PARIS, Oct. 18 (Associated Press).—Lille, Douai and Ostend, ~— great cities, have been delivered from the enemy. This is the most glorious day for the Allies sinte the Battle of the | Marne, and it fittingly terminated a wonderful battle: of three months, | which was opened by Gen, Mangin’s victorious cownter-offensive oi: Juty 18. Many cities have been liberated and hundreds of square miles of ter- rilory retaken. The results have been splendid. But the victogy in Belgium is not all. The British, south of Le Cateau, have broken into: the German positions and now threaten the Hunding line, The whole German de- fense system eastward io the Meuse is in peril. The first result of forcing the Germans back to the Ghertt-Tournai- Valenciennes line during yesterday's fighting has been to sap tite enemy's; defenses before they have been able to reach them further south. Without exaggeration, it may be said that the prospects of the future are even more important than the actual results attained, splendid though they; may be. The road to Brussels is open. According to latest advices the French and Belgian Armies are advancing rapidly toward Bruges and Ghent. The capture of Ostend makes it possible to land reinforcements and {hrow powerful forces against the extreme right of the German Army. BELGIANS MAY SOON RE-OCCUPY CAPITAL. Gen.
