CORRESPONDENT OF ANTWERP
PAPER WRITES FROM The
BATTLEFIELD.
Tells Of stubborn Resistance Of Bel
slsns and Gradual Advance Of
Germans.

LONDON. Aug. 22. 80 A. m.-The
Amsterdam correspondent OF the Reu-
ter Telegram company sends the fol-
lowing detailed account OF the ad.
vance OF the Germans across central
Belgium during the present week.
The account as sent by the CORE
spondent was taken from an Antwerp
newspaper. II follows:
Tuesday morning the great ad-
vance movement began along a line
extending a broad v from Diest to
Tirlemont and St Trond. The Bel
gians retired from 81 Trond as the
Germans outnumbered the belgian
advance guard. The first Belgian bat.
tie line extended along a line OF about
% miles. and included Diest. Haelen.
Geetbetz. Nerrnter and Tirlemont.
"Tirlemont was guarded by cavalry
detachments only. while on the other
end OF the line the burden OF de-
Tense AZ Diest was taken by bicycle
sharpshooters.
The battle started at daybreak
Tuesday near Geetbetz. where the
Belgians gained the FIRST blood BY
bringing down a German aeroplane
which was scouting above the Belgian
position. At s o'clock the Germans
opened their attack with large forces
OF cavalry. supported by infantry and
artillery with machine guns Within n
few minutes fierce battle was raging
along the six mile front.
Attacked Haelen.
In the north the German right wing
attacked Haelcn and Loxbergen. In
the south Il attacked Budingen. The
main attack was aimed to break the
Belgian line at Geetbatz. where the
dismounted Belgian cavalry poured in
terrific FIRE. annihliating the German
advance columns Tnereupon the Ger
man cavalry executed a daring flank
movement around the Belgian posi-
lions. necessitating the slow retire
ment o. the Belgians on Budingen.
where Count Dursel was killed.
The most remarkable stand was
made outside Budingen By two Bel.
gian squadrons OF 24O men. who OBJ
posed for Ions time 1000 Germans.
on tho extreme north the Germans

furiously and Destroying a large part
OF the city.
Late Tuesday the Belgian head.
quarters, having learned the army's
strength from aviators. decided fur.
ther resistance along this advanced
line would be foolish. and ordered a
gradual retirement.

The whole line continued. The hottest
iiHhting was near Acrschot. 20 miles
northeast or brussels. where the car
mage on both sides was awful. The ad-
Ntnce guard 81 two Belgian regiments
made heroic stand but was forced TO
retreat - o'clock In the evening
AZ II o'clock the Germans reached
l.ouN ain IN motor cars armed with ma
chine gunds. The EclEians continued TO
fall back In good order. administering
severe punishment To- the enemy all the
way. Their retreat took them through
Matines and thence 20 Antwerp"

Was the Original Spuu.

The original spug, who passed away
In 1857, Icing before the society was
ever thought about. was enc Sir Will
liam Petty, born in 1923, In the town
of Rumsey, Hampshire, England. That
he Is worthy of canonization as the
patron saint of the order finds proof
in his last will and testament, wherein
he says. foreseeing the many evils
that may arise from injudicious gifts:
"As for heggars by trade and election,
I give them nothing. AS for impotents
by the hand of God, the public ought
to maintain them. AS for those who
compassionate tho suf'erings of any
object. let them relieve themselves by
relieving such, sufferers. ).
~ am contented that have assist

in the way of getting their own bread.

CHEAP LIVING AT ANTIOCH
RIdIcuIously Small Gum VIII Provide
Family With Every Comfort and
Even With Luxuries.

The inflated price OF his majesty the
turkey has no terror for the inhabi-
tants of Antioch in Syria. To be sure,
they have no Thanksgiving feast to
worry about, but on the other hand
life can be one long fowl feast for
them the year round Ii they so desire.
You can buy pullets and chickens for
five cents apiece. Eggs are four cents
a dozen, while mutton and lamb sell
for three cents pound.
These facts about the low cost of
living were learned from young Eng
lishman who had been ordered by his
physician to spend the winter away
from the cold and fog of his native
London. He decided TO try Antioch.
This Englishman lived In the lap OF
luxury in Antioch for five dollars a
week. He rented n fine house for
five dollars month and he kept three
servants who were satisfied to work
for 80 cents week.
Throughout the winter months fresh
fruit and vegetables are SO cheap that
they are not sold in fixed quantities.
You merely pay quarter a week and
this gets you all the fruit and vegeta-
bles for your household needs.
This Englishman's nearest neigh
Sors were an American family who had
been living in Antioch for several
years. They had afr-t the comforts Of
life and their expenses were less
than $500 year.

KILLER WHALE NO MEAN FOE
Diaries Of Captain Scott Tell Remark
able Story Of Their Strength and
vindlctlveness.

The whale Is usually supposed to be
an innocuous animal, and not lightly
would we assail character for vir-
tue that has been well established. But
Captain Scott's diaries show that the
killer" whale is veritable demon,
and an intelligent demon at that. He
tells US that on one occasion the ships
photographer. Pointing, and two dogs
were on an ice foe when they were at
tackled by six or seven whales. The
method OF assault wns ingenious. The
animals swan unde- the Ice and
smashed it by blows from their bodies
with the evident intention of shaking
their victims into the water. Then it
was clear that the whales shared our
establishment, for one after another
their huge, hideous heads shot verti-
cally into the air through the cracks
which they had made. As they reared
them to height of six or eight feet
1t was possible to zee their tawny
head markings, their small, glistening
eyes, and their terrible array of teeth
by far the largest and the most ter
rifying in the world. There cannot be
q doubt that they looked up to see
what had happened to Pointing and his
dogs. That they could display
such deliberate cunning, that they
