army has retired to the ramparts of
Antwerp. The German force at Puers

Liege and Namur.

forts that protect Antwerp on the south

dispatches from Ostcnd that the Ger

During the last week the Belgian army
has received reinforcements. The spirit
of the troops Is excellent and they are
greatly encouraged by the successes
GAINED during the last few days in
sharp skirmishes with the Germans.
The German forces bent upon subju-
eating Antwerp have their line extend

artillery Is hard at work on the south
bank of the Scheldt, seven miles from
the city. Railway service has been sus-

have not ceased to hope that the city
will escape direct attack.

DROUGHT CAUSING LOSS

PHOEN1XVTLLE, Pa, Sept. N.-1The
long-continued dry weather in this section
Is working great harm with the growing
corn crop, which is drying in the husls

the crop will be practically lost. The
threatened disaster to the late corn crop
has to an extent affected business and
the farmers are spending less.
The long drought has resulted in lack
Of water In many small streams which
furnish motive power for country mills,
and wells on farms have gone dry. The
mills have necessarily ceased to rum and
many farmers whose wells are dry are
compelled to haul their supply from
neighboring farms.

have appeared IN the nearby townships,

Those cases, the health authorities be-

WOUNDED GERMANS
RESCUED, NOT SHOT,
DECLARE BRITISH
Admiralty Denies Slaughter
of Survivors in Heligoland
Action-Goshawk Endan-
gered by Humane Activity.

LONDON, Sept. "a.
The Admiralty Office has issued a re-
ply to the statement of the German Min
lister at Copenhagen, alleging that the
English fired on German swimmers fol-
lowing the naval battle near Heligoland.
The Admiralty states that when the
German torpedo boat destroyer V-1S7
was sinking. the Goshawk ordered the
British destroyers to cease their fire and
lower their boats to save the survivors.
While this was being done an officer
on the afterpart of the MIST trained
Its after gun on the Goshawk and fired
at 200 yards range, hitting the ward
room. 1t is though that he believed the
boats crew intended to board and cap
ture his vessel, which was still flying
her colors
1t thereupon became necessary to de-
stroy his aftergun, which was done with
few well-placed shots, after which
every effort was made to save his life
until the German cruiser Stettin ap-
peared through the mist and opened n
heavy fire on the British boats.
The destroyers were forced to retire to
avoid destruction. The Goshawk removed
her men from the boat. leaving it to the
German prisoners. nearly all of whom
We're wounded.

conduct of the German CRUISER threw

"LA FORCE NOIRE"
TERRIBLE WEAPON
IN HANDS OF FRANCE
Algerian Contingent Is Made
Up of Grim Fighting Men,
Relentless Toward Foe,
Devoted to Officers.
PARIS, Sept. "a.

PARIS, Sept. "a.
La Force Noire," the BLACK Army
OF France" as the Turcos now fighting
with the Allies are called, was organized
by Colonel Maugin in 1911 The Turcos
are Arabian light infantry recruited in
Algeria. The force In 1907 consisted of
only about 5000 Senegalese. Colonel Mau-
gain raised the number to $4,000 soldiers
recruited from Senegal, in the Soudan,
from French Guinea, Dahomey Algeria,
Tunis and Morocco.
The supply of men from this source is
almost inexhaustible, and Furthermore,
this source of supply is out Of enemys
reach. 1t is declared that so long as
only one French port remained in French
hands these terrible African fighters
could be poured in streams into France.
The soldiers of these districts are born
fighters. Death in battle is. to them,
the highest distinction one can achieve.
AS a result they are relentless in the fury
of their attacks and absolutely fearless.
They never surrender. Their wonderful
physique and almost total imperviousness
to pain keep them fighting on after they
have received wounds under which fight
ers of white races succumb.
Colonel Maugin once said of these SOL
ders His sense of discipline, his devo-
ton to his white officers and the fierce
ness with which he hurls himself at the
enemy are wonderful
General Langlois, writing in the Temps
in 1909, when the raising of the present
Algerian force was being discussed said:
"The sanguine and fatalistic temper of
the troops of these races makes 1t n ter
rible asset in a shock"
In an article In Gaulois General Bonnet
said: "On the wide battefields of any
future war the Arabs. trained by Cau-
oasians and armed with the terrible
weapons of war of the white races, will
