STRIKING PROGRESS BY THE ALLIES

ANOTHER HAUL (IF VILLAGES AND BOOTY MANGIN'S THRUST ON' : THE AIEETTE IN SIGHT OF LAON ■ 'Another day of brilliant achievements—the British are approaching the. old Cambrai battlefield, the Germans have palpably lost their nerve, the retreat in some places has developed into a race between pursaed and the pursuers, tlio British field artillery, chasing at the gallop, engaged the fugitive masses of Germans at point-blank range. On every part of the ba,ttleline the story is the same—growing demoralisation, hunger, the spectre of defeat. The British havo forced the passage of the Tortilla and the Canal du Nord, while the French in the south have crossed the Vesla 011 an 18-milo front, and swept another group of villages into the net. The situation in Russia continues to develop. .The Siberian Provisional Government has as-' sumed the responsibility for the Russian loans, shamelessly repudiated by the Bolshevik fanatios. It is reported that Germany has concluded an agreement with the Bolsheviki whereby' the latter are to attack the Allies in North Russia, while the former guarantees Finnish neutrality. Another report states that Germany has demanded right of way through Russia in order to attack the Allies.
