FRENCH SUCCESSES.

SUBURBS OP LAON REACHED. Received Oct. 14, 5.5 p.m. London,, Oct. 13. ' The French have advanced six miles to-day and occupied the whole of St. Gobain forest, reaching the suburbs of Laon.—Times Service. .. . / RETREAT MAY BECOME A ROUT. London, Oat. 12. Mr. Perris says: It is inaccurate to say that the Germans on the French front are dislocated, but their position is dangerous, and we may see the retreat become a rout in some sectors.

The Germans' persistence in holding Laon is most dangerous, but, undoubtedly nu\ch ( material has been removed. The enemy has crowded half a million men, witih: impedimenta, on a. few main roads between the Sambre and the Argonne.—Aus. N.Z. Cable Assoc. ,

FLANDERS COAST ABANDONED. London, Oct. 12. The Germans have practically abandoned the Flanders coast. They have removed a large number of guns and sunk moro ships at the entrances to Zeebrugge and Ostend to hinder sea operations. — Aus. N.Z. Cable Assoc.

SHORTER FRONT EASIER TO DEFEND. Received Oct. 14, 7.30 p.m. Stockholm, Oct. 13. According to the Aft;on the Centre Party considers Germany will rather gain than lose from a. Tetreat to the Rhine. The shorter front Will be easier to defend, and the morale of the army strengthened if the soldiers are defending the Fatherland on their own soil. The Socialists are of the same opinion.
