It was a few minutes before 10 o'clock that the escape took place.

As soon as court officials and deputy sheriffs could get their breath, word was telephoned to Police Headquarters and a general alarm was sent out for the arrest of the fugitive. Gustav Guillaume, indicted Jointly with Harrison, charged" with' the mur- der of George J.

Quentin the British today are fighting their way forward in the open country beyond the Hindenburg line through which they have progressed five miles since Monday From Lens northward and from Rheims eastward to the Argonne the Allies continue to bend back the German flanks in smashing attacks. The breach driven through the German defenses south of Beaureyoir is on a front of five miles. To the north the Britishare plugging forward east-southeast from Le Catelet, while on the south the French are attacking successfully between Seque-hart and Lesdlns. The German resistance is bitter, but there has been no let up In the strong Allied pressure. In the fighting in this area Thursday Field Marshal Halg's men captured more than 4,000 prisoners.

With the British in the open country northeast of St. Quentin and the cavalry and tanks pouring through the breach the German positions about Cambrai and Laon will become most precarious. Through the opening in the line Marshal Foch would be able to throw troops to take both Cambrai and Laon In the rear. Germans Pressed Eastward West of Lille. West of Lille the British continuo to press the Germans eastward while extending their line south of Lens to Mericourt, where a good advance also has been made.

Between Lens and Armentieres the British have moved forward an "more- than three miles on a twenty-mile front, ajjd east of the Bois Grcnier are within six miles of the outer walls of the, fortress of Lille. Meanwhile the British and Belgians in Flanders are widening' the salient east of Ypres, which threatens the German positions on the coast and the network of railroads west of Ghent. There are no indications that the Germans have halted their retirement In the Lille salient. The enemy is still several miles west of thn Donio Canal, which runs from north of Ar mentieres through Lille to north of Lens, and which probably will form part of the German defense system before Lille. It is not probable the Germans will give up Lille without heavy fighting-.

Around Kneims and east of the Suippe Gens. BertlieJot and Gouraud are drawing closer the sides of the German salient east of Rheims. American troops have Joined the French ia their operations east of the Suippo and have assisted in the adrance northwest of Somme-Py, capturing the strong positions of Elanc Mont and the Medeah Farm. Further east tho French have taken Orieuil and Be-mont Chateau. North of Rheims tlvo French are working their way across the Aisne Canal.

It would seem that unless the Germans withdraw from, the Champagne salient they are in danger of being caught in a trap be tween the armies of Berthelot and Gouraud. Marshal Ha'ig's Report. London. October 4 British forces pursuing the retreating Germans in the Lens region have reached the railway east of Lens, Field Marshal Haig announced in his official statement today. To the southeast the British have made progress between Oppy and Mericourt.

German torces last night delivered counter-attacks on Gouy and Le Catelet, midway between Cambrai and St. Quentin. Field Marshal Haig reported today that the enemy assaults had been beaten off. More than 4,000 prisoners were taken yesterday by the British in their operations north of St. Quentin.

The point of the British wedge in the region north of St. Quentin had been pushed at the end of yesterday's fighting to tne nign ground a mile northeast of Sequehart. The British are holding this ground, having repulsed a counter attack. The text of the statement reads: "At the end of the fighting yesterday we held the high ground one mile northeast of Sequehart, and had successfully beaten off the enemy's counter attacks at (louy and Le Catelet. A second hostile counter attack at Sequehart iflso was repulsed.

"The numher of prisoners captured by us in yesterday's operations north of St, Quentin exceeds 4.000. "During the night local fighting took place to our advantage southwp.it of Beaurevoir and in the southern outskirts of Cambrai. "We advanced our posts sliglitTy northeast of Epinoy and repulsed a hostile attack on one of our posts south of Biaehes-St. Vaast. (between Lens and Arleux).

'I AM SAFE" I I OF GOAL IN CELLARS ORDERED BY MAYOR Threatens to Seize and Distribute Fuel Hoarded by Firms and Families. Mayor Hylan today directed Police Commissioner Enright to get the name and address of every person ho has pnolis-h rnfl 1 in rplln In bpo through the winter. The Mayor was moved to take this action by tho many complaints he says he has received from fumilies who cannot procure any coal, although their orders were placed early in the spring, as required by the Feu-i eral 1 uet Administrator. 1 I He refers to an alleged public state- inent by an official of one of the lirrbt- ling companies threatening that uiir less the public utility companies arc I helped out with increased rates, the I public wiil be made to suffer." The Police Commissioner is request- ed to uncertain tne quantity or coal the lighting companies have -on hand. Hoarded coal is to be commandeered by the city and distributed to those "who are in need and freezing." However, Commissioner Enrlght's investigation of the coal situation is not to begin until the Liberty Loan Drive Is over.

The Mayor's letter follows: "Many hundreds of complaints have been received in this office from all over the city from families who cannot procure any coal, although they complied with the requirements of the Fuel Administrator and placed their orders as early as last April. "From time to time we read in tho newspapers of the great quantities of coal that have come into this city, and it seems as though there must have been unfair discrimination, or that the scheme of distribution was badly regulated. What we are entitled to know is who were the fortunate ones that got coal, and who are the unfortunates who are not going not get why. "As soon as the Liberty Loan drive is over I would like to have you make a survey of the coal situation in thin city, making a record of the names and addresses of those who have been fortunate enough to secure practically all the coal they need for the winter. It.

might happen that the Fuel Adminis trators may not be able to bring in as; much coal for general domestic use as thev have predicted, and in time of stress it would be helpful to know to whom we might turn to ask them to help out their less fortunate neighbors. "I saw a statement in one of the newspapers the other day about the general manager of one of the lighting companies giving warning that unless the public utility companies are helped out with increased rates, the public will be made to suffer. There fore. make.it. a part of your survey i to find out tiie quantity of coal the gas and electric light companies have on hand, the price they puld for it, tne amount tney receive oauy anu "If the occasion requires We may have to employ the power given to the city authorities by the Board of Aldermen to take coal that is being hoarded and distribute it to those who are in need and freezing.

"Last winter the police and the Mayor's Coal Committee of the Mayor's Committee of Women on National Defense saved thousands of families from suffering during the severe cold weather by the kindly and generous acts of those who were fortunate to secure an early supply of coal. "The indifferent, attitude of the coal trust and their agents prompts me to take preparatory action at this time so that in so far as possible the people winter weather. "A very strange thing that to my mlivl has some definite connection with the sad condition that must J.e faced by the people of New York this winter Is the. fact that the slock se- curities of the coal distribution com- puny that practically controls the dis. irlbution of coal in this city in the last few months has increased several million dollars in value, according to the Stock Exchange quotations whil- at the same timo wo are asked to lievc that the local coal industry a almost a wreck bv reason of the coal shortage.

I know that from an ox- nmination of a balance sheet of this thriving local coal trust the biggest item in its assets is listed as "good will." etc. 'Good according to cool trust definition, evidently means ion of a h.ilnnri. het' nt thio Increased profits In proportion as there i tin inerenot.

With the American Army in France, Thursday, October 3, 8 p.m.

American troops went into action this morn-Ins on the Champagne front. A report from the French Army states that they hud advanced considerably by noon and had taken Blanc Mont and Medeah Farm, The capture of Blanc Mont and Medeah Farm was announced In last night's French statement. It was not made known, however, that American forces had effected the capture. The Americans here are evidently co-operating with General Gouraud's French Army In the Champagne, pushing the attack on the left. Blanc Mont is more than three miles northwest of Sommo Py, while the captured farm lies just to the east.

Pershing's Communique. Washington, October 4 Capture of Blanc 4 Mont and othel positions in Champagne, was reported today by Gen.

The communique follows: "Headquarters American Expeditionary Forces, October 3 Section A American troops fighting with tho French have driven back the enemy and taken Blanc Mont and other positions in Champagne. Between the Moselle and the Forest of Argonno, we carried out the usual artillery and patrol activity, taking a number "(Of prisoners." American Flyers Bomb 11 Towns.

With the American Forces Northwest of Verdun, Thursday, October 3, 7:50 p.m. American aviators were busy all day today, carrying out bombing attacks on Con flans, Longuyon, Audun, Dommary, Buxieres, Vignenl-les, Chambley, Etain, Arnville and Grandpre. They dropped thirty-seven and one-half tons of bombs. Abileville, Gorze, Haydenvilie and Marcq also were bombed. In twelve days (lying on this front J4 successful missions havo been undertaken by the American aviators.

The accumulation of -enemv airplanes on tho American front despite the shattering blows dealt them- by entente airmen is proof, if it be required, of the most importance attached to this front. There is plenty of bombing in the night and morning with a general show of aggressiveness during tho day, but for anything tho Americans nave sunereu rrom the German airmen the latter have twice and thiice as much damage to record from the splendid pilots who are causing the American planes to be dreaded in the air. A successful gas attack was made by the Americans on this front yesterday at Vllosnes, on the Mcuse, above Dannevoux. The German artillery Are was spasmodic during the day. Many gas shells were thrown in by the enemy guns upon the American rear areas, notably Soptsarges Wood, Chattan-court, the Montzeville Road, Dannevoux, Sachet Wood, Esncs, Forges Wood and Jure Woods.
