By Associated Press
LONDON, Nov. 4.—At dawn to-day British
troops south of the Scheldt river attacked on a
wide front, according to a report received from
Field Marshal Haig. The report says the attack
has been launched satisfactorily.
Germany deserted by her Allies, apparently is facing a great
disaster on the western front. There is a greater possibility than
ever that the hour of Germany's military doom may not be far
; distant.
Break Turns to Rout
This crisis has arisen during the past three days. American
and French attacks west of the Meuse river, which seemed to be
ining but little, apparently sapped the strength of the enemy.
When the break came on Saturday, it took on aspects of a rout.
American contingents are in Belvtd wood six miles directly
