Show Victory Is More Important Than Even Captures Would Indicate. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM. Oct. 21. (Router's) British'troops today drove the Germans from tho Bois L'Eveque, east of Le Cateau and reached the Sambre-Oise canal in. that region. The advance brings the British considerably con-siderably east of the north and south parallel through Valenciennes. North of the town the British also are well to the east of the parallel, having occupied oc-cupied the sharp elbow in the Scheldt canal, east of Raismes forest. In the fighting Wednesday, the British Bri-tish captured a number of brand now 1.2 howitzers and at Vendlgles caught the commander of a German regiment. The victory of tho Third and Fourth armies yesterday .was one that goes in importance very far beyond what is expressed by the big haul of prisoners and guns. |
