T.me. It's ali bosh to say that this is
ITe nature Of the Individual. 1t isn't
->ature's way AT all
Thin folks stay thin because their
overs Of assimilation are defective

something that will prepare these fatty
food elements so that their blood can
absorb them and deposit them all
about the body-something. too, that
will multiply their red blood corpuscles
and Increase their blood's carrying

BRITISH WARSH|PS
lombard OSTEND
Germans Driven Back From
Coast, and English Marines
Land to Aid Allies.

LONDON, Oct. 21-Ostend lombard
ment by British warships and monitors
has forced the Germans to relinquish
the slight hold they held on the Bel
gian channel coast, according to un-
official word here.
There is no official confirmation as
yet Of the reported evacuation by the
Germans of Ostend, but such a move
would not be surprising here.
The British feet has its guns con-
etantly trained on the coast. Aeroplanes
hover over the shore seeking out the
enemy and sending the range back to
the ships. Naval landing forces have
rendered splendid aid to the allied
armies, particularly around Newport.
=, 1t Is believed here the Germans for
the present win mass their forces
fire from warships in the channel.
A Central News dispatch from Folk
estone says that wounded Belgian
soldiers arriving there from Calais state
that the Germans have been driven out
Of Ostend.
The admiralty announces that the
monitors Severn, Commander Eric
Fullerton: Humber, Commander Ar
thur snagge, and Mersey.. Lieut.. Com
mander Robert Wilson, which recently
were pulcuaSe0 from Brazil, nave been
engaged in these operations. In addition
detachments with machine guns have
been landed from these vessels to assist
in the defense Of Newport, whre they
performed meritorious service
The monitors are ideal for such coast
work. They draw only about eight feet
of water and carry several 6-inch guns
and several finch howitzers apiece
With these guns. when given the range
and position Of the enemy by aerial
scouts, they can throw shells over eight
miles inland.

Belgian Defense Blocks
Plan to Invade England
By ED. 1. KEEN.

LONDON, Oct eff the Germans
ever seriously planned an invasion of
England, and the chief British military
experts insist they did, they have lost
their chance.
The generally credited reports were
thar Germany, in moving to take Dun
kirk, intended to start an invading force
from that port and Ostend. First. it is
believed that an aerial raid was intend
ed to terrorize London.
Then the German fleet was to go out
and give battle to the British war fleet,
while an invading force was rushed
across the North sea. Practically every
British military expert is convinced that
this was the plan. And all agree today
that the Germans have missed their op-
portunity and cannot again secure it.
Once more 1t has been the Belgians
who interferred with the plans of the
German general staff. They refused to
permit themselves to be cut off by the
invaders, and developed such an effec-
tive offensive from Newport to Dixmud.
that the dash Of the Germans toward
Dunkirk has failed.
Supported by the great guns Of the
British fleet, the Belgians have rolled
the German offensive back, and all re-
