London, Oct. $50 far as England
knows, Antwerp is still holding out
against the furious onslaught of the
German artillery and infantry. but the
bombardment is terrible, according to
all the news dispatches that have been
received today.
The Germans are reported to be u.s.
ing incendiary bombs and fires have
broken out in many parts of the city.
Large siege guns are doing terrific
damage in all parts of the city.
Although King Albert took some
soldiers with him to Ostend, the main
part of the Belgian army remained to
resist the Germans at Antwerp as long
as possible.
If Antwerp falls it will prove the
ineffectiveness of modern Notifications
against modern artillery, as Antwerp
is the last word in ingenious barriers.
The siege of Antwerp and the great
battle in Northwestern France are be-
coming more and more closely related.
The battle line in France is gradually
approaching the Belgian frontier and
| it is believed a decisive result in
France would carry with it either the
fall of Antwerp or its salvation.
Belgian Censorship Rigid.
AS the day wore on the effectiveness
of the rigid censorship in Belgium be-
came more effective. No positive state
ment as to what transpired since yes
terday has been allowed to come
through. Indications, however, point
to the fact that the bombardment OF
the city continues unabated.

announcement said today that there
has been no change on the long line
in France. 1t says that on the west
ern wing the cavalry Of the opposing
armies is operating north of Lille and
LaBasse and that the balance of the
western line remains where it was
yesterday. Activity in the Woerve
district, however, is reported. Artil-
lery contests rage along the whole
battle line, but no mention is made of
the result. ~

/ Montenegrin troops continue their ad-
) vance in the direction of Sarajevo as
] far as the fortified line that protects

A meters from it.
