WITH the Anglo-American Armies Near St. Quentin, Oct. 9. (By Associated Press.) The great battle between Cambrai and St. Quentin continues today with unceasing fury. Strong attacks were resumed at day light this morning by the British and American armies. The troops of Field Marshal Haig and General Pershing are carrying their lines steadily to the eastward. EMC!

The German armies .are in full flight before the British, American and French forces on the front between Cambrai and St. Quentin. Cambrai, the strong point of the enemy in this region, has been taken by the Canadians in its en tirety, and north of Cambrai the Cana dians have deeply penetrated the Ger man line. Out in the open east of what once was the old Hindenburg.. line cavalry is hustling the retreating foe in what vir tually amounts to a rout. So fast is ' the retreat that columns of the aHied troops in parade form have passed through numerous -villages, completely out of -contact with the Germans. JM Division Man Handled Mora than 10,000 prisoners and be tween 100 and 200 tuna were captur ma in meiaay b iikiiuiik. .iiu iho tinuatlon of the battle Wednesday re suited In further large captures. In the lighting 23 German divisions more than a quarter of a million men have been severely man-handled. The maximum depth of the advance Is between eight and 10 miles. The Germans are declared to be fleeing to the east of La Cateau, one of the most important railroad centers In this eg i on. Behind them the Germans are leav ing the country devastated, burning towns and villages as they flee. Defense System Demolished. The formidable German defense sys tem between Cambrai and St. Quentin has been utterly demolished and Brit ish. American and French troops are out In the open country eastward In pursuit of the retreating enemy. Cambrai, the pivot point in the former line and over which there has been so much bitter fighting, is In British hands; numerous villages and hamlets to the south have been over run by the allies and thousands of Germans have been made prisoner and hundreds of their guns captured. The victory seemingly Is a complete one, and with General Koch's strategy working smoothly In bending back the German line In one great converging movement, the Germans apparently are, in a serious predicament. From ; the region northwest of Rheims to the Meuse river, north of Verdun the French and Americans are slowly but surely pushing the Germans backward toward the Belgian border. Knemy on the Hun. In Macedonia and Asiatic Turkey the traops ot the entente stilt have the enemy on the run. Nowhere Is the enemy able to do more than fight re tarding battles, giving ground when the pressure becomes loo strong. I uder the avalanche of.steel hurled , r against them on the Cambral'-St. Quen tin sector the Germans could not Jive and were forced to flee eastward. Heavy casualties were inflicted on those of the enemy who had the temer ity to endeavor to mako a stand- On the other hand the casualties of the allies are declared to have been rel atively small, those of the Americans being less than half of the number of prisoners taken by them. Where the enemy purposes to make his next stand cannot be foretold, tut probably an effort for a turnaboit will be attempted along the Vaicnelt nnea Sedan front. After this line the only known German defensive position of the Rhine Is the Meuse river. The Americans already are threat mi in; to make this line untenable, having tinn ed an advance up the valley ,on the astern slde of the stream toward Sedan. Cnt Deep Into Germnn Lines.

The answer to such a move, it was suggested today, would be to leave to Marshal Foch the dictation of the terms of the armistice should the sit uation ever reach that stage, as the supreme commander can be trusted to see that no military advantage to the enemy resulted. In the meantime Mar shal Foch hour by hour is surround ing the German forces with new perils as his strategic conceptions are de-; veloped. j German Resistance Fast Crumbling. Evidence of the waning resisting; power of the German forces in France j was plainly seen by observers here tn the sweep forward of the Anglo-American forces north of St. Quentin. Ap parently' there has been no material lowering of the fighting quality of the enemy soldiers, but there is every evi dence that the complex military or ganization upon which defense of the long battle front depends is breaking under the strain. Signs of confusion have been noted repeatedly. Worn out divisions have been called upon to check the assault of fresh allied troops and have been cut to pieces. These are signs only, for the enemy front still offers a grim obstacle to the advancing armies and the battle is growing dally In fury Instead of lessen ing. But the signs are there. They mean a vital weakness at the heart of the great machine, the absolute lack of the men and war equipment to meet the combined assault definitely. Two Mallente Developing. In the line between Verdun and tho sea. two salients are developing. The first has Its apex along the Alsne front, where the enemy still clings to St. Gobain forest and part of the Chemin des Dames ridge. The second has its greatest depth before Lens. Between these two pockets, the Anglo-American drive, supplemented by the French ad vance east of St. Quentin, has thrust a blunt wedge which not only has en- gulled cam oral, dui nas lorn its way camps, through tho whole Hindenburg defense j advised Bone into open country beyond. It can strike either north or south at need to squeeze the pocket on either side, or can be carried ahead to smash through vital communication lines. On the north, the British force preBs lng in on Lille from the west and north forms a northern Jaw of a possible pln- cer movement against the whole Doual salient. The Germans began a retire ment on the Lens-Arment feres front some time ago, which they have check ed, fearing probably the envelopment of their Douai front unless that also could be relieved simultaneously. The capture of Cambrai now threatens this (front from the south as well and It is believed hare that the enemy must move, immediately out of the whole Lllle-Douai region. C'rltlcHl on Lnn Front. The situation looks to be even more critical on the Laon front.

At both extremities of this line th,ere are strong indica tions that new blows are about to be struck. It has been reported unofficially that an entire French army has been moved to Belgium to supplement the Frunco Belglan effort there. Officers have ncted that recent reports have made no mention of this army and are in clined to believe that a new drive In Belgium is to be expected at any mo ment. On the other extreme of the ilne, to day's advices shows that General Pershing has been cleaning up the ground immediately east of the MciiBe where enemy positions stand on the flank of his lines of communication with the most advanced forces near Brieulles. This may be a tactical move to prepare the way for a new Ameri can drive on the Meuse front.

On the other hand, if Maximil ian attempts to repudiate the military party lie undoubtedly will bring about a demand from that still powerful or ganization for his retirement, and tho adoption of a reactionary policy.

There is reason to think that of the two evils, an extensive retreat or an attempt to hold the present lines, the first one commends Itself to German headquarters. They want a retreat If they ean get It. The leading facts of the military situation, then, are these political rot at home, which has in fected the army and the complete col lapse of the Ludendorff policy In the western offensive; finally, a break down, leaving the only alternative that has been suggested, namely, of defense in the west and compensat ion In the east.
