extending their line south of L*ns to Mcricuurt, where a good advance also has been made. lietween Lens and Armentieres the British have moved forward an average of more than three mile® on a twenty mile front, and east of th« Hois Grenier are within six miles of the outer walls of the fortress of Lille. Meanwhile the Britash ajid Belgians In Flanders are widening the salient east of Yores Which threatens the German positions on the coast and the net work of railHeads west of Ghent

There are no indications that the Germans have halted their retirement in the LtJle salient. The enemy is still sevoral miles west 'of the canal, which runs from north of Armentieres through I«llle to north of Liens," and which probably will form part of the German* defense system before JJlle.

Americans Join Franch.

•round Rheimg and east of the Suippe, Generals Berthelot and GouTftnd are drawing closer the sides of the German sali*nt east of Rheims. American troops have joined the French in their operation® *ast of the B'lippe, and have assisted in the advanqe northwest of Somme by capturing tho strong positions of Blanc Mont and the Medeah farm.

FTerther east the French have taken Orfeuil and Benmnt chateau. North Of Rheims the French are working their way across the Aisne canal. It Would seem that unless the Germans Withdraw from the Champagne salient they are in danger of being caught in a trap between the armies of Berthelot and Gouraud.

This plain was tho scene in ancient times of many sanguinary struggles, but is of especial interest to the modern world by the reference i.o it in Apocalypse (Kev. xvi., 1 .1 at* the place where in the final struggle betw«en good and aviI the greatest of all battles will be foupbt: "Th« battle of that great day of Almlnhty."

The plain separ^ jS Galilee from Samaria is triang-lar In form, and surrounded by mountains, of which Mount Carmel Is the most conspicuous. Through it runs the road across' Palestine, which was the greatest thoroughfare of Asia Minor in ancient when times. 11 was because easiest and of antiquity that It became such frequent and famous battle ground "In it," writes one historian, **Gide-

the enemy's defense and Its success is attested by tho progress made during the day. Terrific efforts made by the Germans to halt the progress of the British were fruitless and it is reported that British cavalry and tanks have reached the open country back of the enemy's front.

Whole Line Shaken.

further successes at th## point would seem to shake the whole German line from Dounl to Rheims. The enemy so far aa known has no other position in that region as formidable as those captured during the past week by the allies. Directly behind this front are railroads which are vital to the enemy forces flgfttlng farther to the south.

Near Rheims Gen. Berthelot's army h:js made new progress and the time seems not far distant when the cathedral city will be freed from German artillery fire for the first time sinco 1914. This advance by the Frpnch has a very close relation to tHat of the British around St. Quentin as well as operations farther east In Champagne.

strategical value than any other now going on in France. General Gouraud's army !n Champagne has at last cleared the western gate of Grand Pre gap which runs north of the Argonne forest. Challerange has been taken and the Germans west of that village have been forced to give more ground.

Kast of the Argonne forest the American forces facing the KriemhildSteeluns line appear to be held tip by the desperate defense of the enemy. This may be only temporary, however, as the nature of the country has made It difficult to move up heavy artillery for the resumption of the drive against the enemy.

GERMANS ARE ALARMED.

Progress of Allies Make* Situation Critical for Enemy. FRENCH HEADQUARTERS EST FRANCE, Thursday, Oct. 3.—(Renter's) With the progress o* the allies along the front from the Aisne to .he Meuse, the Germans are daily becoming mora alarmed over their situation in central Champagne, between Rheims and Moronvillern heights.

All the enemy troops which have appeared in this battlefield belong to good divisions and have fought with the utmost tenacity. The sole exception to this rule was the Sixteenth Bavarian division, which was withdrawn after a single day's flghling.

None but first-class troops are of any value between Suippe river and the Argonne, because the Germans cannot abandon ground there without the greatest risk. Allied forces are daily Hearing the lateral railways, which permit the enemy to move his reserves from point to point. During the past two days the advance of the allies has made the route from the Argonne alony the Aire valley useless, except by night. His next line of communication is 12 miles to the north.

In this sector, however, the allies have to doal with the German crown prince, who does not desire to be the first German commander to give the order to retreat.

The simplest and best Range on the market. The most modern idea which provides cooking and baking with general heating features. This wonderful stove is an absolute necessity in the days when it is too warm for a heater fire and when a little fire is necessary to take the chill off. In the winter months it is even more important that you should have one in the home for it keeps the kitchen warm and prevents the pipes from freezing and relieves the housewife of the trials of getting up early in the morning to start the fire because you are able to cook breakfast with the little fuel "left from the night before.
