GERMANS GAINING.
Heavy siege Guns Doing Great
Damage to- Defending Forts.


LONDON. October I.
The Ostend correspondent OF the Daily
Express telcgraphs tonight that the
Germans are making considerable head
way despite desperate resistance by the
Belgians.
\ terrific hombardment of Antwerp
is now in progress. The heavy Krupp
siege guns of the Germans are doing
deadly execution. although the forts Of
the city continue to reply with great
vigor. The German heavy artillery
is superior to the heaviest Belgian guns.
The Belgian artillery got into action
last sunday, when the Germans at
tempted to cross the River Nethe. The
losses on both sides were great.
There is a. yet no news direct from
Antwerp that bumbardmcut Of the city
has begun. bur all accounts mention
furious fighting and considerable ad-
Vances by he Germans especially In
the southeast. whore their attack was
hottest This attack was resumed after
the failure 81 Monday and Tuesday
when attempts to cross the Nethc cost
the Germans dearly.
There has been fierce fighting. lasting
from dawn to dark in the neighborhood
OF Schoonacrdc, between Alost and Ter
monde. Tho Belgian machine guns were
worked To- deadly effect, but the Belgians
themselves suffered great losses. A
furcc Of 200 Bclg ans defending one
.trenCh was reduced To thirty. Eventually
the llc,Eians silenCcd the German guns
and the enemy withdrew.
The correspondent of the Daily Teie-
graph says Of the fighting yesterday:

charges
THE Sun has been able to obtain from
an American just returned from Berlin
package OF the so-ca,lcd dumdum
cartridges and presents above a photo
graph Of the package as well as of one
OF the cartridges which, as can be
seen, has a hollow end. Il also will lie
noticed that the package IL labelled -
cartouches de stand which means cart
ridges used for target practice.
The English word stand" has been
adopted by the French to mean n shoot
ing gallery or any place where shooting
at a target is engaged In,
There are two explanations why such
IA cartridge should be drilled AT the
end First so that 1t will carry straight
at short range. and second so that
the bullet will spread out on hitting the
target and thus make an impression
which can be seen from a distance.
