ermans „Massed Forty Divisions on
Front of Less Than Forty Miles
and Fought Desperately to Hold
'Masa Importan.t Positions, But
Are Being Driven Back erafter
Terrible Losses. .
PARIS, Oct, 21. -The Germans are
fighting desperately to hold their
positions on the front nortn and
south of Le Cateau which has an im-
portant bearing on the situation else-
where between the Meuse and the
North Sea. On a front of 40 miles the
Germans have massed 49 divisions in
an effort to check the Allies. This is
said to be a new record of density for
defending forces,
The Selle river has been crossed
north of Le Cateau by the British in
spite of strong opposition, an advance
of over a mile was made on a 10 -mile
front. The British advance continues
further north and Deflate, five miles
soutirvreat of Valenciennes, has been
'captured.
The British are approaching the
formidable natural obstacle of the
forest of Mormal, guarding the Val-
encienn.es-Avesnes railroad, the main,
Gernian support line in this region.
The town of Solesmes 51e miles
h of Le. Cateau, was reeaptured,
can,s and British south
pressed toward in the
counter-attacks and a
determined resltanco from rilatehine
guns, Itidtlen ftt shell holes, and gain-
ed more than three kilometres. More
than 1,500e prisoners lia've been
tinted.
American tanks erossed tb.e Sell()
rer in a dense fog ring by cam-
eading the nttack against the
(tacit Sunday Morning
ritisk rOoPs succeeded in fore-
paseage of the Selle river, at
ral points between Le Cateau
and IDelaa.in. The attack was carried
out in a heaver rain. About 2,000
prisoners end some guns were taken,
The advance steadily coetieues in the
direction of Valeneienees. in spite of
the etubborn reeistaece of the Qer-
mans in Unit eeetor and torrential
are making rivers or the
brooks and the fields a sea of med.
The Associated Pres eorrespon-
tit with the British armies in
Prirnce telegraphs under Sunday'
date;
"Tile British third army, remelting
at two o'cleck this morning, :meshed
its way eastward to the south of
Valenciennee. The success of leis
• operation, which this evening scOMS
• assured, means tbeturningof the Val -
lettuce line and endaregers all the
German forces northward to Flan -
dem and southward to the Oise
Canal, behind Which the Germane
bay() begun to retreat from other
Britali forces end the American,
This thrust will serve to upset tbe
known German plan of tryiug to hold
the line east of the Scheldt, to which
the enemy is retiring hastily from
what once was the Lille salient.
"The operation of the third army
was characterized by most severe
lightirig, for the Germans realized t.lie
importance of trying to delay the
British hero. Regardless of the ene-
my resistance, however, the British
gained the high ground to the -east
of the line from which they were ad-
vancing against a perfect storm of
machine-gun bullets fired from ad-
vantageous positions. The machine
guns were cleared out with great
rapidity and great numbers of Ger-
mans were killed. The fighting was
especially fierce in the neigliborhood
of St. Python, where many barricades
had been hastily erected."
HUN SOLDIERS INTERNED.
Fifteen Thousand Germans Retreated
Into Rolland.
LONDON, Oct. 21.—Fifteen thou-
sand retreating German soldiers have
been interned in Rolland after being
cut off by Belgian troops moving
northward from Eeeloo, according to
reports from the frontier reaching
Amsterdam and transmitted by the
Exchange Telegraph Co.
Belgian soldiers took charge of the
Dutch-Beiglan border Saturday night,
and were received enthusiastically by
tho populace." -
An Amsterdam despatch reads:
"German sentries along the Dutch -
Belgian frontier left this morning, ac-
cording to the Telegraaf. The elec-
trified barrier along the frontier was
also removed and the Gternaan flag
pulled down. This was replaced tveo
hours later by the Belgian flag, amid
the loud cheers of peasants along
both sides of the line."
Enemy Collapse Expected.
PARIS, Oct. 21.—e•The .atmosphere
here is surcharged with expectancy
this morning. The belief grows that
Germany is approaching collapse.
Both in Berlin and in the field her
power of resistance steadily fails.
The reported recall of submarines,
and, to a minor extent the
with-
drawal from Lille and other cities
without completing the usual work
of destruction, are taken in some
quarters as indicating this.
One Paris paper states this morn-
ing:
"Apparently the Germans are mak-
ing a desperate effort to put up a
line of resistance along the Meuse.
Material for defence is being concen-
trated there." While the spectacular
events in the north rivet the world's
attention it is along the Mouse that
the bitterest figlitirig is necessary. At
this last stage of the war it has fallen
• to the Anierica,ns to attack where the
,Germans must defend or throw up
the •ponge.
• "The 13rieueli, French and Belgians
are hammering the German's head
while Pershing holds his hands and
feet,", commented an American this
morning. Thus does Foch move in
mysterious ways his wonders to per-
form. Preseure put on one point
squeezes out a result in another.

forces on the 17eiria have been witIt-
drawn a lIttIe over six miles because
of an attack by greatly superior
forces, which had been reinforced
from Petrograd and apparently com-
manded by competent officers, The
withdrawal was successful under a,
severe bombn.rdrnerit.
At last reports the Bolshevik' re-
inforcements were reported advanc-
ing and the Allied forces were under
a hail of shrapnel shells and "pom-
poms." Occasionally a 6 -inch shell
from a BolshevIle gunboat or a land
battery would striae.
The positions abandoned by the
Allies were held for a Week against
greatly superior forces. The Allies
operating along the Drina and Vega
rivers have been handicapped, by a
fall of the water, wbich left boats
stuck on, sandbars and barred pro,
gress by gunboats at critical times.

Sofia Was Pillaged.
SOFIA, Oct. 21. -- The abdication
and departure of King Ferdinand put
an end to a reign of terror. All the
German troops hare already left Bul-
garia after committing great devas-
tations. About a thousand rail car-
riages filled with grain, food, provi-
sions and anamunitiou were pillaged
and transported to Germany. Pil-
lages of public property amount to
half a billion francs. The losses al-
together from private property blown
up and railways, bridges and tunnele
destroyed, amount to a billion franc.s.
Former Premier Radoslavoff fled with
the withdrawing German troops. The
Entente war prisoners are already be-
ing released and are soon expected to
be sent to their respective countries.
British and French military officers,
headed by a French colonel and a
British lieutenant -colonel, have arriv-
ed. The Entente maitary men make
a favorable impression for smartness
and courtesy on their part since the
conclusion of the armistice. Murphy,
the Arrierieau Charge d'Affaires here,
is an object of general attention and
public sympathy.
Liberty Loan Over -subscribed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. — Prob-
abla 25,000,000 or more individuals
bought bonds of the fourth Liberty
Loan, unofficial reports reaching
• Washington so -day showed. A large
proportion of these filed their sub-
seriptions during the last few days
of the campaign, which ended Satur-
day night. Consequently it will be a
task of many days to actually count
the number of Pledges and to com-
pile reports from the entire country-.
The only official figures in hand here
were of Friday night, showing about
11;100,000,000 yet to be subscribed.
Despite this lack of dennite informa-
tion, officials were confident that the
16,000,000,000 popular war credit
had been m er-subscribed,
