Country Around Antwerp
 Unoccupied By Germans

London, Aug. 29, 4:5O a. m.-The correspondent of Reuters Telegram 1 company at Antwerp sends the fol 1 lowing official statement which ha. been issued there: a. "On Thursday the Germans, con. trary to the laws of war, bombarded Malines, an open and undefended town. .s. "On Friday morning the town was partially occupied by German in- fantry, which withdrew toward the south in the afternoon, and the bom- bardment was renewed, four shells falling about each quarter of an hour.
 'The enemy also bombarded the region about Heyst-op-den-berg, a town seventeen miles southeast of Antwerp, an open locality not occu- pied by the military
 "The two operations had no less an object than to terrorize the civilian populations.
 'The Germans have systematically bombarded the forts and gaps of Namur for ty-eight hours. The town itself suffered little. The enemy has invested the northeast portion of the place and is attacking the forts and gaps in that region. The Belgian division retired to the second line of defence, which was bombarded v1o- lently. In turn the Belgian and French troops made numerous coun- ter attacks.
 "The Belgian division retired by way of the Sambre and the Mouse, and the movement was accomplished in good order. Our troops have re- joined the French lines. -H
 Reconnaissance made in the neighborhood of Antwerp gave favor able results and showed the country unoccupied. Our security, therefore, is complete.''

since the desperate struggle of We'd nesday, when a quarter of a million German soldiers tried to hack their way through the British lines held by less than half that number. Just as many other people, however, are con- vinced that the battle which Field Marshal Sir John French, command er-in-chief of the British forces on the continent, said on Wednesday was impending, is now in progress and that the commanders are awaiting a decisive outcome before permitting anything to be made public.
 Since last Wednesday both British and French troops have had time to entrench themselves, and their artil- lery has been able to find the ranges over the zone the Germans must traverse in the next fighting.
 Reports that France has formed a new army of 250,000 men to take the offensive against the German right has aroused much interest; they have not, however, been confirmed.
 A telegram from Basel, Switzerland, declaring that five German and Aus trian army corps are marching on Belfort France, has not been authen- l, ticated, nor has any report that the Germans have been obliged to with draw a portion of their forces in the west to. meet the Russian advance in the east.
 The source of the floating mines which have sunk so many small craft quest to shipping to keep lookout days seems to be indicated in a re- quest to shipping to keep a lokout for "a trawler painted black, with white numbers on her funnel" and when seen to notify the authorities immediately.
 Fired by the news that the Indian army is coming to participate in this war, the Basutos of South Africa have petitioned that, in the event of an at- tempted invasion of South African territory, they be allowed to least few stones at the enemy"

HOLD PEACE PARADE.
Thousands of Women March Down
 Fifth Avenue as Protest to War.

New York, Aug. 29.-Thousands of sombre-clad women marched down Fifth Avenue this afternoon to the beat of untitled drums to signify their opposition to war. They wore black dresses and black hats and at the head of the procession marched a standard bearer with a large white flag inscribed in black with the word Peace" Dark rain clouds added to the melancholy atmosphere which the women sought to create, and the leaders declared that should rain fall before the parade finished they would nevertheless march on.
 There were no racial divisions. Wo- men of Teutonic, Slav and Gallic ex- traction marched side by side as evil dence of the solidarity of their sex against the cruelties of war.

MOOSE AFTER COLONEL
 TO DENOUNCE SULzfR
Plan Letters toAIl PTogressiVes, but
 Roosevelt May Oppose Ii.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug 29.-It was learned here yesterday that one of the strategies of the Bull Moose war on William Sulzer will be to try to get Colonel Roosevelt to write a letter to each of the 10000 enrolled progress sives in the state, eulogizing Frederick M. Davenport and denouncing William Sulzer.
 The campaign committee appointed at the Utica conference mas conceived this plan as an item in the primary fight against Sulzer, but it is believed here that Colonel Roosevelt will never consent to the plan. He may consent to write letter supporting Davenport for governor, but it is improbable that he would actively oppose Sulzer after saying that his attitude would be a neutral one.
 Not Known Definitely.
 Whether or not Colonel Roosevelt will take part in pre-primary cam- paigning is not known definitely. He would not see the reporters yesterday, sending out word at Sagamore Hill that he was entertaining General Wood and begging to be excused.
 Word has come that most of the delegates to the Utica conference ad- mitted that their districts were strong for Sulzer. They said that although they voted for Davenport as the party's candidate against Sulzer, they wouldn't be able to deliver over their districts in that fashion. These leaders are bent on putting an end to SGlzer and they are bending all their efforts to put him out of the race for the primary nomination.

Progrcssives Express Surprise.

Progressives expressed surprise that the Sulzer matter should have at- tracted such attention, especially as they pointed out, Sulzer got only six of the 175 votes cast.
 There is no better campaigner in this state than Fred Davenport" said County Chairman Francis w. Bird yes- terday. "He knows the people and they know him. With Roosevelt stumping the state through the entire month of October, going into every county, you may be sure that there will be something doing on election day. We are going at it hard. There is only one issue in this state--the overthrow of the allied Barnes and Murphy machines"

SuIzcr to Fight Davenport.

William Sulzer hit right back at the Lrogressives yesterday for rejecting him at the Utica conference in favor of Frederick M. Davenport.
 T could hardly have been more pleased if I had planned it myself" he said. They did the thing at Utica that the republicans and democrats at Saratoga did not dare to do. They violated the spirit of the direct pri- mary law. They are a lot of high brows opposed to real progressives I shall be candidate against MT. Davenport. The progressives of the state all want me and they all tell me I can beat Davenport two to one"

Form the Tribune.

Paul Schilla, the 14-year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Schilla residing
near Georgeville, while out hunting
for ducks with an older brother on
Grow Lake last Sunday morning met
with very serious accident when the
accidental discharge of gun hit the
lower portion of his foot at triangl-
lar distance, and tore off two toes and
mangled several others. The young
man was rushed to the New London
hospital by DR.. Hitchings where the
the shots were extricated and the
wound dressed. After a few days he
was taken to his home and is getting
along as well as could be expected.
The gun was laying in the bottom of
the boat, and it is likely that the
older brother stepped unknowingly on
the trigger causing it to discharge.
