WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The vic-
tory of the Anglo-American farces
north of St, Quentin nety be pttvin

the way for early invasion of Ger
many itself. Striking hints of a whol-
ly new enterprise, directed at the
UPPer Rhine ValleY, hale come from
ueollieial quarters in ilerauce, and
the," follow repeated reports from
Switzerlaud that the civil population
of the Rhine valley towns were being
removed by the German auteorities.
Some officers here regard tliese re -
porta ae highly signiacant. They
Ore them particular weight, be-
cause it now appears certain that
he enemy will be forced far lia,ck all
g the front ie liorthern 'Frallee
and Belgium within the next few
days. While the constant haratneriug
is kept up in the north to pin the
German, armies there it iniget be

stroke on the, Alsace-Lorraine front
that might eeratlY develop into au

of the Rhine Valley,

day, witla a great eap torn nt the
centre oe the lines that were already
struggling to extricate themselves
and get back to a shorter front, there

and immediate military victory for
the Allies.

nervers here the situation t� -day bah

Marshal Foch is virtually certain to
ooneoutrate every mince of power at
his Corninand in an effort to execute
a final coup.
For this reatort it does not appear
likely that the Rhine drive plane, if
there are such plans, will develop
until the situation dears in the
north. Should the German armies
escape the triple trap between Ver-
dun and the North Sea, however,
and establish a line on the Meuse
front, many officers aro confident
that the centre of attack will swing
suddenly to a drive into Germany it-
self by the shortest route* the Rialto

PARIS, Oct. 12. --The
covered incendiary bomb ---which the
Gernaans use to burn villages, sets
houses on fire much more quickly,
while water thrown on the flames
only helps to feed them. French ex-
perts are actively engaged in trying
to find some means of extinguishing
fires caused by these new bombs,
which are to light that it is said one
airplane is able to carry 200 of them.

LONDON Oct. 12.—The Porte has
been advised that Bulgaria is expect-
ed to send troops against Turkey in
an expedition planned by the Entente
Allies, according to a despatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Co. from Am-
sterdam, quoting advices froth Con-
stantinople, the despatch adds.
It is thought probable the Bulgar-

Material Captured In the Big
Advance --- Enemy Is Retiring
From Douai and Other Strop
Points of Defence
LONDON, Oct. 12, --North of t
Scarpe river, in the direction 0
Douai, the British have passed the
Droeourt-Queant line and reached the
Lens -Douai Railway itt the yicinity
of Itteaumont, and at Quiery-lasMotte,
farther north, have arrived at Benin-
Lietard, on the Douai -Carvin road,
The enemy evidently is retiring
from Douai.
The Britislt have captured St. Ail-
ed, and Oats are within seven miles
of the main Germau lateral line of
communications, nanaelY, the Valen-
ciennes -141/e Railway.
The ertenty is retreating on the
whole front from the Soissons-Laon
read to Graud Pre, north of the Ar-
goeue Forest, and also from the
tiorib bank of the Suippe river in
Champagne. Gen. Gouraud's army in
Champagne advanced four miles yes-
terday and captured Maeliault. The
enemy is felling back towerd Voe-

occupied Brieres, east of the Von-
ziers railroad line, and eorth of
Grand Pre gap took Carbon, Mont St,
Martin and Setaide, on the Vouziere-
Ghatelet railroad line.
The gent -tau troops still resisting
on the liee 01 the Snippe are in an-
other dangerous pocket.
The rapid advance of Gen. Debe-
ney's forces in close pursuit of the
retreating eeemy has brought them
to the Oise in the region of Berne-
ville, where they are meeting with
strong resistance from infantry and
machine gun,
Gen. Mangin's troops, after en-,
ounteeing lively oppositioa, have
tidied the Chemin-des-Dames in tlni
TC510U of Courteeon, and have erose -
ed Ailette et Grandpont. Chivy
has also been taken.
Cavalry joined le the pursuit of
the Geramus by Gen. Gouraildts army
yesterday, being the first to enter
Laneuville. The advance on the ease -
era part of the battlefront was much
accelerated, the French and Ameri-
can troops at scene points gaining
about seven miles. The Americans,
metwithetanding a. heavy bombard-
ment or the region with mustard gas
shells, took niachault.
Geo. Gouraud.% troops advanced to
the River Retourrte over most of HS
length and took Savittny-sur-Alsne.
only two and a half miles south of
Vouziers, which is in flames. Guise
and all of the villages south Of Leon
are in /lames.
This meaus that the Germans are
in full retreat along a front of al-
most two hundred miles, from Douai,
near the Belgian froutier, to the east-
ern border of the Argonne Forest,
near tho Mouse.
The Haves Agency says: "The vic-
tory in the Cambrai region increases
daily in magnitude, producing in-
direct repercussions over the whole
front. The wedge driven into the
German lines to a depth of 30 kilo-
meters in live days menaces the
Doual-Lo.on massif. The Germans are
in, general retreat groin north of Cam-
bria to Verdun. In consequence of
the extremely rapid advance of the
Franco -British troops who have
reached the open ground between the
Oise and the Sensee, the situation of
ttte Gelman centre becomes extreme-
ly critical, the more so because Gen.
Gouraud's continued progress west of
the Argonne menaces the enemy's
left.wing.
"The enemy front on the Chemin-
des-Dames and the Aisne, under the
assaults of Gen. Ma.ngin's forces and
the army operating northwest of
Itheims, was shaken despite energetic
resistance, the enemy intending at all
costs to protect the retreat of his
forces delayed on the Aisne. - The
enemy was obliged to abandon
enormous booty in the Argonne."
The cleaning up of the Argonne
Forest has been completed by the
American troops. No Germans now
remain itt that great wooded area.
The Germans will have to evacuate
the St. Gobain Forest almost imme-
diately.
The Germans are evacuating posi-
tions they still held in the Chemin-
des-Dames under the pressure of the
converging 'attacks west and south
of it.
Transport Was Sunk.
A British Port, Oct. 12.—A large
number of American troops have been
lost as the result of the sinking of
the transport Otranto in the north
channel between the Scottish and
Irish coasts in a collision with the
steamer Kashmir.
The Otranto after the collision was
dashed to pieces on the rocks off the
south Scottish coast with a probable
loss of 372 Americari soldiers.
Three hundred and one men were
taken to Belfast by the British de-
stroyer Mounzy, the only vessel
which made an attempt to rescue in
