Paris, March 8.
Duesseldorf was occupied at dawn this morning by the Allies, who advanced during the night, being transported in lorries and a flotilla of boats. The British force consisted of cavalry and tanks. The Belgian army was represented by infantry, engineers, artillery and armoured cars.
While the Belgians crossed the Rhine Bridge, the British and French marched along the right bank from the Cologne bridgehead, entering Duesseldorf from the south and east. General Degoutte's headquarters have been been transferred to Nouss, some three miles west of Duesseldorf.—Reuter.
