Friday, Nov. 1. (By the Associated Press) At dawn this morning the Germans were retiring towards Audenarde, on the Scheldt. The roads were choked with German traffic and the Allies' guns were turned on them, reaping' a terrible harvest Tho Allies started the day's advance by pushing on ahead through Gysel-brechtegem, Gysel-brechtegem, Boschkant, Wortgem and Nokeru. By morning a greater part of tho ridge system between the Lys and the Scheldt was in Allied hands. The fighting today therefore was downhill toward the Schelt. Allied operations around Valenciennes have been completely successful and it will be surprising if Saturday finds German Ger-man troops still trying to hold the city.
