GENERAL NEWS OF THE WAR
Beers Revolt Against Great Britain
German Forces Are Said to Be
Close to Warsaw,

London, Oct. 14.-The government
press bureau announces that part of
the forces of the Union of South At
RIGA have rebelled. This information
came a dispatch from the governor
general of South Africa. The revolving
troops are those under Colonel Maritz
and they have been stationed in the
northwest of the Cape provinces, sup
posedly close to German Southwest
Africa. 1t is understood that the mu-
tineers are mostly Beers. AS a result
of the revolt of the troops serving I'M
der the English flag martial law has
been proclaimed throughout the Union
of South Africa. According to the al
| legations, the Germans were to help
the followers Of Colonel Maritz to
overthrow the existing government in
British South Africa, establish a re-
public and sever connections with Eng
land. German Southwest Africa was
to. get the British territory of Walfish
bay and other land in compensation.
Germans Menace Warsaw.
Washington, Oct. 14.-Warsaw, CAPT
tai of Russian Poland, is threatened
by German forces and may fall at any
moment, according to an official dis
patch to the American government
from n of it's consuls, who asked for
instructions as to the care of foreign
interests during the expected period
of occupancy. In case Warsaw does
fall, the United States probably will
take charge of Russian interests. Rus.
STA has abandoned the narrow point in
Galicia between Przemysl and Cracow,
Russian forces having virtually occu'
pied all Of Galicia with the exception
of these two places, says a dispatch
from London, Vienna officially an,
nounces that Jaroslau and Lezaysk
have been retaken by the Austrians
An unconfirmed rumor that the Aus
trians have retaken Lemberg, Galicia
is current in Berlin. Berlin claims
that all of the western wart Of Russian
Poland is now in the possession o
Germany, and that every place west o.
Vistula, except Warsaw, is in theil
hands.

Announces Victory for Allies.

London, Oct. 15.-The occupation OF
Ostend has not been officially report
ed here, but there is no doubt in Lon
don official circles that it will be &C
complished within a very short time.
The news of the occupation of Ypres
by the troops of the allies is believed
to have an important bearing on the
situation with regard to Ostend.
A further victory on the allies left
is announced from the war office, at
a place not named. 1t is stated that
the Germans we're forced back.
Race to Reach Belgian Army.
With practically all of Belgium in
/ German hands, and with at least fifty
thousand fresh German troops report
ed en- route to Bruges and Ostend
from Client, it is generally accepted
here that the next move in the Bel
gian theater of war will be a ace be-
tween the allies and the Germans for
the remnant of the Belgian army,
which is now believed to have ar
ranged to eyacuate Ostend at the most
favorable moment for a dash to join
the extreme left wing of the allies.
Allies Occupy Ypres.
That the thanking movement of the
allies left wing is making marked
gains is indicated by an official state
ment issued in Paris. 1t states that
the Belgian town of Ypres, which is
81 miles northwest Of Lille and 81
miles south of Ostend, has been occu
pied by the British troops.
This announcement, which is the
first official statement that has men
toned English troops as operating il
this section, shows that the allies left
wing has extended its range of worl
from France into Belgium.
Belgian Capital in France.
London, Oct, 1.-THE advance
forces of the German army are within
a few miles of Ostend. They entered
Client without opposition.
The Belgian capital has been movet
again-this time to Havre in France
The archives of the government hav'
been taken there and most of the Bel
gian state officials are there. Kim
Albert remains with his army as it
commander-in-chief.
The British consul has left Osten(
leaving his affairs with the America.
consulate.
These announcements indicate tina
the allies have little hope Of beini
able to keep Ostend out of the GEL
mans hands.
ScheIdt to Be Neutral.
Official statements given out in Bel
lin to day and telegraphed here asser
that the German government will cor
serve the neutrality of the Scheldr

and not use it as a base for naval OF

CITY OF CR0ESUS AND MIDAS
Situated In Spot Rich In Leoends Of
Ancient Geography and
Mythology.

| There is a river which flows north
ward, eastward and northward again,
finding its hazardous way through the
rugged mountains of ancient Lydia, In
Asia Minor. Its waters, now scant and
limpid, now voluminous and turbid,
says a writer in Scribner's Magazine,
are poured at length into larger and
more sluggish stream, which, fed by a
hundred other snow born fountains
that descend from the almost perpetu.
ally snow clad mountains on the
south, flows westward, In It's turn.
through a broad and fruitful plain and
then through a narrow defile, to lose
itself and its yellow hue at last In the
clear expanse of the Bay Of Smyrna.
which at this point represents the
Aegean sea.
The smaller river is the ancient Pac-
tolus-the gold bearing stream OF
classical legend and song-in which
mythical Midas washed to cleanse him.
self OF the golden touch" and from
which historical Croesus washed his
wealth by the simple process known as
placer mining Fer Croesus was no
other than the last king Of the ancient
Ly6ian nation, and the Pactolus cut
in halves the market place of no less
city than Sardis, his capital.
The greater river was anciently the
Hernus. Beside its bank the armies
Of Xerxes and of Alexander encamped.
1t made of the plain Of Lydia great
nations granary and garden; but it
did not appeal to the poets and the
builders of legends as did its little
mountain arm with the sands Of gold.
The snow capped mountain was Tmo-
lus to the Greeks. Its rugged fast
nesses saw the birth and youthful
sports of Pan. Thus, in few words,
we may place the setting of this story
in the ancient geographical chart, and
in the mythology and legends of the
ancient Greeks.
