GER MANY STILL
AGRESS0R AS WAR
ENTERS nth WEEK
Rests With
Kaiser's Forces, Says Cor
respondent, as Invasion
Continues in France and
Russia.
By HERBERT TEMPLE

LONDON, oct. r.
The opening of the eleventh week OF
the war fnds Germany more than hold
ing all the advantages 1t has gained in
both the western and eastern theatres
Of war The Germans still hold the strong
positions to which they retired along the
Aisne, and the capture Of Antwerp has
greatly strengthened their lines in both
Belgium and France. In the eastern the
atre of hostilties the Germans have pene-
trated Poland as far as the Nistula, and,
while the Russian Government has laid
claim to important victories in the Su-
Nalki district, when the history of the
war is written II probably will be found
that these successes did not mean SO
much as the Russian General STAFF has
tried to make out.
An unprejud!ced, calm survey of the
situation in its entirety cannot fail TO
see an advantage for Germany so far as
the war has gone. Belgium is PROSTATE
and Germany Is still the invader in both
France and Russia. The present week Is
expected TO see an increase in activity
in northwestern Belgium, especially in the
vicnty Of Ostend. Gheut, so far as
known is still held by the Allies but
the Germans are now in a position 10
concentrate heavy force against H. and
it is feared that II will soon be in pos
session Of the Germans. With the Ger
mans holding a port, such as Client, II
would be impossible for the Allies TO at
tempt a flank turning movement. The
French and British would have 10 make
frontal attacks against the strongly
fortified lines of the Germans.
II the Germans are able 10 transport
their heavy guns TO Ferdun and reduce
the works there and TO take Ostend, the
completion OF both these objective en-
terpr!ses would probably find winter
weather prevailing. Then there would un-
he 'FY1I
seems to be a strong belief however,
that with the possession OF a coast city,
such as Ostend Germany would try TO
launch an immediate attack against Eng
land but such reports are not causing
alarm on this side Of the channel.

on account of the strength of the
French forces along the Meuse and
the nature Of the country around Yer
dun, the Germans may not be able to
get their heaviest siege guns in a po-
sition to shell the forts At Antwerp,
Liege and Namur the German troops
were not opposed by heavy forces Of
men. and the artillery in those works
was not as heavy as that in the Yer
dun forts.
Fighting is in progress around Roye
Albert, Lassigny, Bapaume and points
north Of Lille, on eastward past the
Belgium frontier. The fercest fight
ing during the last stages of the great
battle has centered around this region.
There is not an acre of ground in the
whole area that does not show traces
of the violent struggle. Albert, which
was first regained from the Germans, is
a heap of ruins. only the clock tower

rupted bombardment for a fortnight

Cavalry activity on the Belgian bor-

1t is a question how many German
soldiers the fall of Antwerp will re-

Allies left in France. This army was
at first estimated at from 100000 to
100000 but subsequently the figures
were reduced.

scored with the new type of English

capable of developing a speed of 15O miles

ground at a sharp angle.
'=The German anti-airship guns are so
effective that 1t is un%ise for the Brit

are using a new type of bomb, which.
when II explodes, leaves a smoke cloud
that hangs in the air for several minutes,

A large German force is moving OF
Client on its way to Ostend, wher,
British and Belgian troops are massinl
Tor determined stand Strong British
reinforcements are said to have ar.
rived.
Part of the British and Belgian
troops which defended Antwerp is re-
ported safe at Ostend, while at least
sOoo the rear of the retreating army,
were cut off and forced across the
Dutch frontier.
The first move against Ostend was
q desperate effort to cut off the Bel
gian army, which fed westward from
Antwerp when it was seen that the
city was doomed.
The Germans threw a pontoon bridge
across the Scheldt River at watteren
and sent large force northward in
hope of getting between this city and
the Belgians.
However, in conducting tha, enter
prise the Germans weakened their de-
fense of Brussels and came t~ contact
with hesvy force sent to relieve the
Belgian troops At last reports fight
ing was going on, with success on
the side Of the Allies.
In their advance against Ghent, the
Germans got as far as Locchristi.
which is only about five miles from
the eastern suburbs Of Client.
The attacking forces, under a hot
fire from machine guns and light artil-
lery, were compelled to fall back about
eight miles to Lokeren At the same
time an attacking column, which was
moving against Ghent, south Of the
Scheldt was attacked near Mene. The
Germans fought samely but had to
give ground and retired, leaving a bat
terry behind.
The occupation OF Lokeren by the
German forces was an important move
for the invaders, for Lokeren is a point
of strategic importance.
A detachment Of Uhlans had
brush with a squad OF Belgians near
Quaetricht, southeast Of Client. and
were compelled to flee. But the Ger
mans sent forward a heavier force
with artillery and attacked Nellie
which caught on fire and was partially
destroyed. The Belgians then retreated
