THINGS MOVING QUICKLY
[Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] LONDON, Oct. 17.
Mr Philip Gibbs writes: The enemy knowing the inevitable withdrawal in Western Belgium was imminent, was not inclined to give battle in Flanders on a big scale. He preferred to sacrice his rearguards and gain time for the main retreat. The enemy is gradually finding himself in afar-flung loop of attack, which, by the capture of tho outskirts of Courtrai, further encircles a large manufacturing territory, including Lille, Tourcoing, Roubaix. Things should move quickly now.
