WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The vic- tory of the Anglo-American farces north of St, Quentin nety be pttvin g 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 possible, it 'WAS said, to deliver a new stroke on the, Alsace-Lorraine front that might eeratlY develop into au invasion of G0044UY itaelf by way of the Rhine Valley, The wholly unexpected extent o the German collapse betWeent Quentin and Gambrel. however, may upset any plans for a drive to the Rhine Marslaal Foch may lattve Manned. As the enemy stands to- 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 la even the possibility o o. crtmhing and immediate military victory for the Allies. Should tile French to the south ar the British to the north also succeei In breaking through betore the Ger- Deana can complete an exteustve re-, tirement, the capture Or destructicat of a whole enemy army group might he realized. In the opinion of oh- nervers here the situation t� -day bah alracot limitlese • possibilities, and 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 Wathr 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. May Invade Turkey. 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- ian Minister to Turkey will be hand- ed his passpores within twenty-four hours. Five German Cities Bombed. LONDON, Oct. 12.—British avia- tors Thursday night bombed railways at Mezieres, Metz, Sa.blons and Thion- ville and airdromes at Fresca.ty and Morhange, according to the statement issued by the Air Ministry.

Hammer Blows Delivered by Allies Compel Reereat on 200 -mile Front—many Villages and aluei 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- re, Gouraud Was closely pereuing Gte enemy in retreat over nearly the eutiro front of his army west at the- Aisue toward the Hee of the Suppe. 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 the terrific gale when the Kashmir, another vessel in the convoy with the Otranto, rammed the Otranto amidships. • Seventeen men were picked up alive on the Scottish coast. Of the 699 American soldiers on board the Otranto 310 were landen. Seventeen were rescued alive at Is- lay, leaving 372 unaccounted for.
