General Byng was temporarily an-| chored in his -drive at Cambrai last jfall, marking what was virtually his nearest approach to the city.In Byng\u2019s drive, however, the British approached Cambrai on only a narrow front, whence a German counter-attack on the flank ousted them disastrously, whereas at present the advance is on a far wider front and is offering no apparent opportunity for an effective counter-blow, especially in the present reported state of German disorganization from the constant pounding the enemy has received all along the front from Rheims to Arras since mid-July.Still in Retreat in North.To the north the Germans are still in retreat and the British have occupied additional towns in the Lys salient.The enemy\u2019s reported retirement in the sector of La Bassee has not been confirmed, however, and the Germans apparently are holding the greater part of the coal mining city of Lens in this area, although the British are understood to be in the western end of the town.BRITISH PUSH FORWARD TO CANALDU NORD Have Established Ports on Western Bank\u2014Enemy Intends to Maks Stand as Long as Possible.(Associated Press Despatch) WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Sept.4.\u2014Exploiting their successes of yesterday, the British today pushed forward to the Canal du Nord and are establishing posts on the western bank.Atempts to cross the canal have been met with heavy machine gun Are and it is evident the enemy intends to stand here as long as possible.Reports from the north and south indicate that virtually the whole of the British front is being moved up, and local attacks in the north are helping the Germans to decide to move faster.South of the Arras-Cambrai road, Canadian troops are on the canal bank on a front of 2,000 yards.The British artillery is now pounding the areas in rear of the canal, while troops from the west bank everywhere are delivering a rain of machine gun bullets on the enemy.The Germans havo destroyed their canal bridges at several places, including that to the east of Boursies, fearing that they might be rushed and crossed.There are indications that the Germans are still playing for time.- East of Peronne the British have made further slight ïdvances.In the north the Germans are still retiring and in many villages in various localities the torch has been applied.FALL OF C0ÜCÏ-LE CHATEAU IS

INCREASES GRANTED POSTMEN PARIS, Sept.4\u2014General Mangin\u2019s army has been busily engaged in the last three days overcoming bitter resistance by the Germans to its advance in the southern area of the battlefront.His forces have marked time in some instances and at points retreated slightly, but they have now succeeded in getting the better of the enemy\u2019s defense and have resumed their slow but sure advance.Their forward push is threatening the fall of the important town of Coucy-Le-Chateau, and its fall is hourly expected here.The Germans however are resisting the forward movement to the best of their ability, as the fall of the forest of St.Go-bain, which the advance is threatening, would entail a retreat of General Von Boehn\u2019s armies to Laon.A rupture of the Hindenburg line in the south would thus be effected, and as the line has already been smashed in the north by British troops, a withdrawal of the whole German front from the North Sea to Rheims would then be forced.The Paris military critics today treat mainly of the threatening breach in the Hindenburg line in the north, pointing out that the enemy is now forced to forge the use of prepared artificial defences and to fall back on the natural obstacles which the writers argue are the only hope of the German Command in the present state of disorganization among its divisions.The enemy, tne critics show, will have before Cambrai a series of natural deences which may help him stay the march of the British armies momentarily.The general assumption is that the German stand will be made along the line of the Canal Du Nord, passing west of Marquion, east of Inchy-En-Artois, and from Moeuvres to Hermies.REAR GUARDS UNABLE TO CHECK OUR BATTERIES (By J.F.B.Livesay, Canadian Press Correspondent.) WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES, September 4.\u2014The Boche has gone back across the Canal Du Nord, sur-I rendering to us, without further struggle, the Drocourt-Queant line.He got out just in time.The Canadian corps was driving in his front and the Canadian artillery was waiting for the hour to lay down such a barrage along the canal as must have destroyed all its bridges and make evacuation impossible.This is not official,'but there is small doubt of its truth.It is the logic of the situation.Yesterday the enemy fought like a wild cat to save his guns and transport.Last night our line was absolutely quiet.An airman this morning reported that after flying all across the enemy line he is .convinced that there is not a Boche\u2019west of the Canal Du Nord.He scouted the idea that he might be hiding in his dugouts.If this great news is confirmed ft must lift a load off the minds of our commanders.No troops can fight many days together on a scale of yesterday without suffering such losses as must In time impair their efficiency.The price paid for the first breach of the Drocourt-Queant switch is relatively cheap, doubtless less than the total prisoners, but if the corps had had to fight forward to the canal on the same scale it must have proved terribly expensive.To gain the line of the Canal Du Nord with no further blow is a triumph indeed, and an unwilling tribute by a beaten enemy to the prowess of Canadian arms.In this triumph British troops worthily participated.The enemy, enclosed in a Oul-De-Sac, with the Scarpe on his right and the canal behind him, was in a desperate plignt, and desperately did he fight to escape it.He threw in no less than eight divisions.The fury of his counter stroke equalled anythin* hitherto experienced by the veteran Canadian troops.For miles behind the Canal Du Nord he lacks such a great system of fortification as the Canadian corps stormed early yesterday morning.On the Canadian front alone the weight of metal was greater than j that of Amiens or Passchendaele or of Vimy, but in addition was the j converging fire of the British armies to the right and left.As this qar-; rage crept forward ahead of the in-i fantry, lifting one hundred yards at a time, there could be made out amid the thunder and the lightning the bulked masses of the slow-moving tanks.Hardly had the show opened when field batteries galloped over the ground where but a few minutes before the infantry had stood at attention, waiting the word to go on.(Canadian Press Despatch) AMSTERDAM, Sept.4.\u2014The favor» able Entente Allied war news fron* the western front today caused & general advance on the Stock Exchange here, with lively dealings in American securities.All Entente exchange rates were appreciably higher.The dollar has risen in three days from 1.92 to 2.02.The ex-) change rates of the Central Power*, have declined.STOCK MARKET New York and Montreal Stock Mart ket Quotations.(Furnished by F.B.McCurdy & Co.)

ing anticipation of an early debacle | and admit the probability of some ! defences being organized behind the j enemy line in an attempt to check the ! allied advance.Some German prison- ! ers taken in the battle talk confident- j ly of the impending arrival of a great | reserve army under General Von Î Maekensen, who will turn the tables I on the allied forces, but obviously it is impossible to throw any light on such reports.Whatever the future may hold, the actual situation is re- j garded as one of extraordinary pro- ! mise for the Allies and containing the ! possibility of a compulsory abandon- ; ment of the entire German front, in- t eluding the Flanders coast.While featuring the dramatic de- j velopments on, the British front com-mentators do not neglect to empha- ; size the great importance of the op-1 erations on the southern end of the | battle line where the French and Am-1 ericans are holding against large enemy forces and making progress.ROSENBLOOM\u2019S y FOR QUALITY By making quality the keynote of our business and supplementing it with honest values, we have won the confidence of a mighty big army of Sherbrooke and Eastern Townships citizens.In the Merchandise We Soil quality and value are still the outstanding attractions of our lines of Men\u2019s wear, and so long as quality fabrics are procurable, and skilled workmen are available, we\u2019ll never re-\tl duce our standards nor lower our values, MEN\u2019S SUITS, $18.00 to $40.00 MEN\u2019S TOP COATS, $15,00 to $32.50, New Shipments\u2014New Fall Shoes, Hats, Shirts and Neckwear.¦STAR CLOTH H?® HALL\u2019 .OSENfB'LOOlVf THE STORE THAT SETS THE F*ACE A.ND CO.SPECIAL NEWS : FROM TOWNSHIPS SOIL OF FRANCE SLIPPING FROM BENEATH ENEMY'S FEET.(Canadian Press Despatch) PARIS, Sept.4\u2014 Between Ypres and Rheims with General Mangin menacing the St.Gobain Forest and the Chemin-Des-Dames, with Generals Humbert and Debeney advancing on St.Quentin, and the Franco-Ameri-cans on the Vesle, with General Raw- ;
