Nov. 4. —The sub sistence division of the Quartermas- 1 ter Corps has purchased 30,000,000 pounds of prunes for our fighting forces at home and overseas during : the coming rear. If any of the boys ! "over there" are laboring under the misapprehension that the failure of the French prune crop this year • would eliminate prunes from the hill | of fare, the' have another guess coming.

On the extreme right the Ameri can.- were north of Monticny-De < . it-Sassy. From there the line Van t>. the Meuse river. it has not been a day of fighting j as much as of pursuit. The Germans ! < not retreating in great disorder, i Itl ouxh the general staff and the i riot i officers have lost control to a ; ... r'- 'n extent. Roads Choked With Enemy Kust of the Meuse from north of j Uemoiville. where the roads are choked with retreating Germans, to j north of Stenay, on the east bank of j the river, where the railway ynrds j are filled with troop trains leaving j for the rear, the Germans are falling ) back. (From Renioiville to Stanay j is about eight and one-half miles). The artillery tire from the hills be- ' hind the German lines seems to in- ? dicate the reluctance of those in command to yield to the evident de sire of the men in the line to with- 1 draw. Equal activity is displayed behind i the American lines, but it is of op posite character. Far to the rear , slowly moving convoys as well as truck tiains are filled with troops , being rushed forward to support those who. in some cases, in strucks. ! are keeping up the fast pace set by : the retiring Germans. Yankees Drive With Bayonets Harricourt was occupied about 4 i o'clock this morning, the southern | edge of the village having been taken Saturday night. The distance be tween the Americans and the Ger mans was less than three hundred yards. Ordered to advahce, the Americans plunged down the streets with fixed bayonets, shouting as they went. The Germans stood their ground only for a short moment. It was a bloody interval. Only a few of the Germans escaped. Scores of small fights occurred in the woods and ravines between enemy machine gun crews and the advancing Americans. Throughout the day the American artillery bom barded heavily the German lines along the entire front. MONDAY EVENING, INFLUENZA BAN LIFTS TOMORROW AFTER 5 WEEKS .
