day for the reception tomorrow of the
University of Michigan's contingent on
their first visit to Cambridge of a foot

LITTLE DISTRICT OF WEST
FLANDERS SWEPT BY BATTLE
OF ALLIES And THE GERMANS

London, Oct. 2S.-1015 A. M.-The
battle which all the world is watch
ing still sways hack and forth in the
little district Of West Flanders, where
the allied forces are struggling to
check the German advance to Calais.
At the same time the events reported
from widely separated points claim
attention.
First comes the new rebellion in
South Africa, Where the Boer leaders,
Christian de Wet and General Beyers,
former commandant of the military
forces of the Union of South Africa,
have taken the field against the Union
government on the heels of the crush
ing of the rebelious movement under
Colonel Maritz. General DE Wet was
the famous antagonist of Lord Kitch-
ener during the Boer war, and the up
rising he is now leading is treated by
the British press as far more serious
than the Marirz outbreak.
An event perhaps second in poten-
tial importance is the report that the
Germans have invaded Angola, the
Portuguese colony in West Africa.
Whether this is true or not, the dis
patch comes almost coincidental with
the announcement Indt Manuel, IOrm-
er King of Portugal, has offered his
services to King George and is willing
to take the field against the Germans
with the army of the Portuguese re-
public. According to reports Manuel
was recently i'll Portugal.
Thirdly the unrest in Albania seems
to be growing. Not only have both
Italy and Greece announced their in
tention of protecting their interests in
this territory, by force of arms, but
the Turks are said to be active in
campaign to send troops and proclaim
Albania a part of the Ottoman En-
pire.
Aside from these political outcrop-
pings of the great war, England re-
ceived a shock in the news that
steamer, the Manchester Commerce,
had been sunk off the coast of Ireland
by a German mine. Up to the pres
ent time all such disasters have been
confined to the eastern coast. The re-
gion where the vessel was struck, is
on the direct route of the great At
lantic liners from Liverpool and of the
Clyde Line steamers from New York
