_
By A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, Oct. 4.—Continual gains
mark the progres of the allien in
the west and the Germans are being
slowly hammered back along the en
tire front from the Champagne section
westward according to continental ad
vices today. The French offensive east
of Itheims has resulted in slill further
advances and considerable gains of
territory have been made in the vicin
ity of Grand Pre.
The French are reported to be in
full control of the situation in this
section having decisively beaten th<
Germans by a series of counter offen
sive actions following a strong attempt
by tlie latter to regain lost ground
The Germans are said to have re
treated along a twenty mile front and
are attempting to hold the French
| forces along a line of newly prepared :
I defenses north of the Argonne forest I
j district.
The British have succeeded in tiriv
| ing the German from their last line
; of intrenehments north of Lille and
the recapture of that city is looked
I upon as a near probability through
, tile cutting off of the German com
| munications from the north. The Ger
| mans have also retired from Loos.
: Heavy fighting in the vicinity of
! Arras has also resulted in the Ger
1 mans giving up considerable ground.
| Reports from the headquarters of the
British commander state that the An
glo-French offensive Is abated in no
degree and almost continuous flght
| ing is in progress at all Important
; points.

RERUN. Oct. 1. The allied offensive
I is showing signs of lessening and the

j I giant counter offensive which will
| force the return of the recently eap
j tilled territory. The German troops
j are being reinforced at all points ami
| the cessation of the allied attack will

German offensive. Severe counter nt
tacks of the enemy in the Rheims dis
j triot have been repulced with heavy
j losses and German attacks north of

LONDON, t )ui ( Despite the coo

the opinion that Bulgaria will lies!
tale to enter through fear that the en
tire Balkan .section will immediately
enter the war as opponents. The con
templated attack on the Serbs is being
universally denounced by the Balkan
press and it is believed that' an at
tack on'Serbia will be the signal for

tlie treacherous action. Advices from

INDEFINITELY
A. P. A. Service.
!.ONDON, Oct. I. Diseusisng the
present outlook for the continuance
of the allied offensive begun last week
I .toy d-George stated that the French
and Itritish war authorities were con
tldent that the military forces of both
nations could lie amply t sustained by
the present provisions for supplying
munitions.
The newly erected munition plants
in both countries together with the
older established munitions plants
were turning out an ample supply at
all times and llie foreign purchases
were at present in the nature of a
reserve supply which could be used for
a gradual extension of operations. The
chancellor was seemingly confident
that only the weight of a superior
resistance could check the present
movement.
