WITH THE A AMERICAN ARMY ON THE SEDAN FftONT, Nov. 5.—The Americans early ioday began clearing out Jaulnay wood, in the bend of the iMeuse southeast of Pouilly and this afternoon wood was in their possession.

German troops who had remained ^vest of the Meuee began to flee across the river early today along the line •worth and south of Stenay. After destroying the bridge from Stenay to jLaneuvllle, the enemy opened the locks «f the canal and flooded the river to a •width of about two-thirds of a mile.

Efforts of the« enemy to hold the high ground our (poops drove him into the valley of th£ Meuse and, forcing their way througliTthe forest of Dieulet, occupied Laneuvllle, opposite the important crossing of the Mouse at Steafjhay. The Beaumont-Steanay road is our possession and our troops are on the heights overlooking Beaumont.

On the left our line l*ns advanced in •pite of heavy machine gun and artillery opposition, to' Grandes Armoise. .The enemy again today threw in fresh troops in an effort to arrest the penetration to bis lin^s by our victorious attack.

Our vigorous advance compelled the enemy to abandon large stores of undamaged munitions, food and engineer material.

In the course Af the day Improving "weather conditions permitted our

flffhting 30 enemy planes were destroyed or driven down out of control *nd three balloon# were burned. Seven Of our planes are missing.
