BELGIAN CONFLICT IS ATTRACTING ATTENTION. Eyes of Public Are Turned Momen tariIy From Larger Battle to Dar-
 ing Army of Belgians.

LONDON, October S-While the ! immense armies of the belligerent powers of Europe are engaged in d death grapple along the lines hundred of miles in extent in battle which for numbers engaged and ferceness , and stubbOrness have no precedent history, the intrepid little army O. Belgium is making last stand be hind the forts of Antwerp one of the strongest fortified positions in the world For a moment at least the struggle around the chief port of Belgium attracts most attention for the result of the engagement there must have considerable effect on the bigger battle between the Anglo French and German forces which now extend from the Swiss frontier across France, almost to the North Sea. King Albert has called on all men of mili tary age to assist in the defense oi the city Thousands of women and children and old men have hurriedly left Antwerp. Among the few non belligerents remaining are American Consul General Henry Dietrich and his staff.
 The Germans while attempting to get across the river Scheldt south west of Antwerp, made their main attack from the east and succeeded some days ago with the aid of their big sixteen inch guns in breaking through the first line of forts. Be tween the first and second belt ol forts, according to their own accounts they defeated the Belgian army and captured a number of guns. Last night shells began to fall in the city itself and from reports coming through Hol- land the railway stations, palace of justice and several oil tanks have been damaged.
 At the same time six Zeppelin der igable balloons flew over the city, dropping bombs, but it is impossible yet to ascertain the damage.
 Towns in Holland are already crowded with refugees. The mayor of Rotterdam has sent out a warning that there is no more room there for harassed Belgians. Steamers for Eng land are crowded with refugees flee ing the German shells. More than B. 900 arrived at Falkestone today, and

are entirely for defense and protee- tion, according to their builders and not as some thought as preparation for an offensive move against the Mexicdns.
 So far as could be learned from the officials on the American side last evening there has never been seriously anticipated any need of the American troops entering Mexico. Though several dys ago there was a possibility that the troops might be ordered to drive the Mexicans out of the neighborhood of the international boundary, since the general firing across the line has ceased. even that thought has not been entertained. Yesterday there was no shooting over the line, nor has there been any serious flying of bullets, except those which are naturally expected in an attack since the ultimatum was de- livered to the commanders of the two opposing forces.
 According tO a rumor which was set OF fcot yesterday evening by Gen eral Hill from 500 to 1000 men are advancing from the rear to attack Maytorena on the flank. At the same time, he states. he will attack from the city, leaving his trenches and ad- vancing into the open. He received yesterday another supply of rifles and ammunition. In all he took over tn Ig ,e IA q and 1000 rifles He states he has more of tho same kind on the way to ar. rive in a short time. The cartridges are 20 30 calibre The rifles are of the same bore, Winchester make.
 Chief of the developments of the battle front yesterday wa sthe re markable advance in the marksman- ship Of the Maytorena gun under the command of Captain Manlow. Where before he had been able to make but few of his shells tell, yesterday he dropped almost every shot he fired into the city or in the neighborhood of the trenches. It is considered that if he can continue smelling the city with an equal accurateness, he will make untenatanle in a short time
 Just when the attack on the city will actually develop is a matter of guess work. However, there is an ele- ment O. knowledge also which enters the proposition and makes it certain that # the Hill troops are not soon attacked they will be able to with stand any attack the Yaquis can di rect against them. It is thought the Yaquis commander is cognizant of the facts and that he will chose an opportune time inside the next two days at the outside, when he will make a conserted effort to take the barracks, and drive the Hill men from their positions.

 Such defeat, all realize. is an enormous task but oficiol communi- cation issued from Paris this after noon gives the allies hope that the long awaited decision is about to be reached.

Good fellowship. harmony, plenty to eat, and enthusiasm, the essential cement to get-together meetings bound the merchants of the Warren district and Douglas closer w1en they had finished their meeting at the Warren district country club last eve. ming.

 Over 100 business men of this dis trict and Douglas were at the ban. quet. Of the whole more than forty were from Douglas.

Hotels Are Over fiIled-DemandS
 For Coupon Tickets To Shibe
 Park SurpasS Past History Interest Keyed To High Pitch

PHILADELPHIA, October S.-Ul less all signs fail. the worlds series win be modelled along the lines ot the great European war The spiri of brotherly love for which the Quaker City is noted, appears to have been crowded into the background.
 The struggle for the premier base ball honors of the universe opened with a campaign of threats that read like &lletins from the war zone. Man ager Stallings of the Boston Nation als, threatened to punch Connie Mack of the Worlds Champion Ath letlcs on the nose; Director Porter of the department of public safety threatened to investigate the ticket graft scandals; the National Commis. sion received alleged shortage paste. boards and to cap the climax the weather man. threatens rain for to. morrow, the day upon which the Am erican and National League pennaul winners are scheduled to open the series at Shibe park, in this city.
 Not since the memorable struggle between the Philadelphia Americans and New York Nationals in 1911 has this city been so stirred by baseball conflicts Both the visitors and their thousands of followers appear to take the coming contests with unusuai seriousness and it is certain every game of the series will be fought hard,
 The spirit of battle and the ab- sence of quarters is noticeable through out Philadelphia tonight Every hotel is crowded The demand for admis- sion coupons to Shibe park surpaBses anything of a similar character ever encountered in the past world series in which the Athletics have been par. ticipants.
 Close followers of professional base ball are astounded by the keen in- terest and enthusiasm which has de. veloped over the games between the Braves and Athletics, as the attend ance at Shibe park during the Am erican league season was not up to the usual standard this season. The local fandom has been augmented by special delegations from Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington. Base bah and its many notifications are the sole topic of conversation to. night. Statements and denials from the camps of the rival clubs to help keep the interest keyed up to an un usual pitch.
 This is especially true of the cen troversy between the two club man agers regarding the use of Shibe paTk for practice today. Stallings accused Mack of unsportsmanlike conduct during a telephone conversation and threatened 10 punch the champion leader on the nose at the first oppoc- tunity. The trouble arose over Stallings' request to use Shibe park for practice.

"TomorolU" Remains Pdssword To Yaquis Attacking Mexican Forces Behind Naco's Trench
Calm Before Storm Augus Battle To Minds Of Those On Border Who Believe Attack On HlPS Position Will Sure
 B Come Inside Next Two Days

| StlnGing on the theory that the i "calm proceeds the storm, officers of the United States army. civil or.
 icials and citizens in Naco last eve ming Trophesied again that Maytorena would attempt the storming Of the city this morning. Ih addition they argued the same attack on the ground of the invitation extended by May torena tc the American officers of the army yesterday. The Yaqui chief sent in word that he will be pleased 1 to receive the officers of the border ! patrol as his guests when the attack ! is made. He offers them the oppor- tunity of following the attack as mili- ! tary observers Sometime later Hill made the same offer to the American | officers.
 Yesterday was the quietest day that the httle beleagured city of the bor | der has seen since the arrival of the Hill forces, and the subsequent ad- vance of the Yaquis When the sun rose tLere was an occasional shot
 
 trenches A little before sun rise there was one series of yolley firing 1 that lasted three minutes. Firing stopped completely by 2 o'clock
 At o'clock Captain Manlow, in command of the Yaqui field gun open ed up. He set the long town on the l city and for fifteen minutes he led Americans and Mexicans to believe that ne would storm the city alone so well directed were the shells. Then his shooting died down
 Through the whole of the day there was little excitement An occasional shot from the trenches when the Mexicans had a chance to snipe one of the attacking force was the only sound tht told of war. Four o'clock saw another of the short exchanges of fire, when the machine gun mount ed on the roof of one of the adobe buildings of the city started dropping it's balls in front of the Yaqus ditches. The field piece of Maytorena replied to the machine gun, but the operations wern discontinued in a few minutes,
 The next sound from the camp came at II o'clock, when suddenly. and apparently from nowhere, the Yaquis opened with their files. The rife fire was followed immediately by yolley of hand grenade and explo- sions from hand bombs. The fire continued for five minutes. Then again quietcd.
 The general belef along the border and in the city was that tine Yaquis were advancing under cover. There was a conviction among the army officials especially that they would attempt in earnest the storming Of the city with the early hours of the morning However at o'clock they had not begun their attack Nor was their proximity to the Hill aitches established.
 Barracades were yesterday after noon prepared almost the full length of the district in which the border patrol is active to afford the soldiers who are protecting the Americans rights some protection from the fly ing misles winch are sure to accom- pany the general attack on the city These barraeades consist chiefly of adobe piles, built fin close to the border where the Hin men are apt to cress if retreat is in order They
