Ostend, Lille and Douai Captured. 3,000 Prisoners Taken Yesterday. I ENEMY RETREAT IMPERILLED. Great news came to hand yesterday-from the northern front. As the result of a new offensive" launched by the British and American armies, on Thursday on a nine-mile front in the neigh- bourhood of Bohain, a striking success was achieved and a maximum depth of two miles. was registered, 3,000 prisoners being captured. of The Allies are bundling the enemy out of Belgium and Northern France at a fine pace. On S'rhursday the city of Douai was entered by our troops, and Lille, the northern capital of France, which had been gradually enveloped, was captured by the British Fifth Army, who marched into the city under General Birdwood, with bands playing. Ostend was also occupied by the Allies, first by British naval forces under Admiral Sir Roger Keyes, and later by Belgian troops. By this advance the Germans lose the us. of Zeebrugge, which with Ostend has been an important base of the U-boat campaign. This is the greatest blow the enemy have had to their campaign of piracy. King Albert's cavalry is pursuing the re- treating Germans and is now at the gates of Bruges. The French are also pressing forward and are at Thielt. Big events are impending, if the weather is'at all favourable, and the retre; t of the German armies to their own country is b.ing more and more imperilled. Not only the smashing of the German armies but the invasion of Germany itself is a probability of the tie r future, unless' the enemy seeks by canilul.Ai m to avoid such a disaster. Meanwhile recriminations are commencing among the war-makers in Germ ny, Who are blaming one another, and there is a lively fear among the ruling caste of an ou; break of Bol- shevism among the masses, who are becoming more and more infected with a revolutionary spirit.. It is a significant fact that, probably through fear of retribution, the Gerii Coiiini,nd Jiave issued an order forbidding \ViI;, I destrnc- tion by the German armies d i. i g ir retreat. report from Berlin strtes th i is expected that Turkey will accept all the conditions of the Allies and conclude a separate peace.
