Last Organized Defense Broken. Bayonville is an important strat egic point, known as the" heart of ;he Freya Stellung. With its cap ture the American troops had brok en the Germans last organized de fenses. The troops on the right, who had been able to advance only just past Gery-le-Grand yesterday caught the mysterious signs of the sudden 'giving way of the Germans and pressed forward and into and passed Clery le Petit. They over came the lingering machine gun re sistance in Barricourt wood and captured Vilfers-Devant-'Duor"Here the enemy launched a counter-attack which failed; then the Ameri cans moved forward again and oc cupied Doulcon. The total advance averaged more than two and a half miles on a 14 mile front, but was considerably greater at points.

Quantities of ammunition and war material of all kinds fell into their hands: Huns Quit Argomie Forest Paris, Nov. 2. The Germans are retreating across the Argonne for est and the French forces are close upon them, having captured today, according to the announcement of the war office, numerous villages and woods. The statement says: "Vigorous attacks yesterday and this morning by the fourth army on the Aisne front, in connection with the victorious effort of the Americans between the Argonne and Meuse, have compelled the ene my to beat a retreat across the Ar gonne forest. Our troops, smash ing the enemy rearguards, who by stubborn resistance attempted to check our advance, made important progress along the whole front of the attack. "On the left we have taken Semuy and carried our lines as far as the south bank of the Ardennes canal, which we have reached on a front of two kilometers, from Semuy to Neu ville et Day. "Further south we have reached the outskirts of Les Alleux, Quatre Champs and La Croix-Aux-Bois, after having captured Bois Vandy and the village of Ballay, despite the enemy resistance, which was partic ularly violent on the Alleux plateau, and the Crpix-Aux-Bois defile. "On the right Longwe and Primat fell into our hands. North of the latter place our troops, pushing be yond Chene Pate, continued, despite the serious obstacle of the Argonne forest, vigorously to pursue the enemy, who withdrew, abandoning considerable material. "Germsn counter attacks, especial ly in the region of Semuy, were re pulsed and enabled us to add sev eral hundred to the number of our prisoners." Push Beyond Valenciennes. London, Nov. 2.
