Antwerp, Sept. 18.-The Belgian ar
my continues the offensive movement,
attacking the Germans with great sue
cess, according to an official an
nounccment of the war office. The
fighting is severe around Termonde.
Both sides are using artillery. The
guns have been booming day and
night since late Wednesday.
The Germans attempted to cross the
river near Termonde after the Bel
gians had destroyed the bridge, but
net with a withering fire that forced
them back. The Germans are said
to have about 10000 men in Bel
gium. Their aviators have been very
active the past twenty-four hours and
three aeroplanes have been sighted
from the Antwerp forts. One of the
aeroplanes was pursued by three Bel
gian aviators, but escaped. The Ger
man airships seem to be much faster
than those of Belgium.

The statement follows: "The battle

"The French attempt to cut through

"The German army is advancing
slowly, but surely.
"a sortie from Verdun, on the right
hank of the Meuse, was most easily
repulsed."
The German staff adds that all
German airships are coming up to
expectations in long and dangerous
flights. Some have been damaged, but

London, Sept. 18.-The British today
again prevented General Won Kluk
breaking the Franco British left in
northern France, according to the
war office tonight. There has been
& series of fierce encounters, the Brit
ish succeeding each time in repulsing
the German rushes.
Sir Charles Ferguson's artillery is
given credit for turning the tide.
The British newspapers emphasized
the declaration in the kings address
saying Great Britain would not cease
fighting until it obtained it's object.
This is interpreted as meaning that
the British will insist on a decisive
German defeat.
Reinforcements are being rushed
across the channel.
The extent of the British losses is
not published, but they are believed

u. OF C. SCIENTIST IN
CHARGE OF COMMISSION

The California Fish and Game Com
mission, believing that education as
to the necessity and value of game
protection and preservation is more
efficient means of conserving the
states game than police patrol, has
inaugurated bureau of research and
publicity. DIR. Harold c. Bryant Of
the University of California has been
placed in charge of the new work
The function of this bureau will be
to find ways and means of protecting
and preserving foreign and domestic
game birds within the state and to
dispense information relative to game
by means of correspondence, public
illustrated lectures and by the issu-
ance of bulletins dealing with the sta
tus of game. A study will also be
made of the habitats, habits and
breeding seasons of the different game
birds and mammals of the state, so
that basis for sane game laws may
be afforded.
Laws and police measures, though
necessary, are not so effective for the
preservation of game as an enlight-
ened public sentiment. This new move
of the commission will hasten the day
when a large force of wardens, MAX
ing hundreds of arrests yearly, will be
unnecessary.
