lacking them, but the Germans so far
have had the better of it as their
armored Taube machines are much
faster than those of the Belgians.
It is generally accepted here that
the Belgians can hardly hold out
more than a couple of days at the
most. They had considered their
Nethe river positions absolutely i'm
pregnable, but they were utterly
wrecked by the pounding of the
heaVyq German shells. The losses to
the garrison are declared to be very
heavy.
The crossing of the Nethe by the
Germans was one of the most spec
tacular episodes of the present war.
The Germans first tried to build pom
toon bridges under the protection of
their heavy artillery. The Belgians
pushed their guns forward and frus-
trated six separate attempts, in which
the Germans lost heavily.
Finally the Germans clustered their
heavy field artillery at one paint and .
simply built wall of steel projectiles
around their engineers, The latter
hurriedly threw four sets of pontoons
into place and then two German di- ,
visions were rushed across and car ;
ried the Belgian positions at the point
of the bayonet. .'
The Belgians have made determin-
ed efforts to strengthen their inner
line and have built inside of the forts
proper a series of earthworks, on
which they have mounted heavy can
non. The fighting is reported to be
continuous, with heavy losses on both
sides.
Paris.-operations by cavalry in
force were reported from the north z
last night, and in every instance it !,
was stated that success continued
with the allies. 80

to Gen. GaIlieni here. The statement
declared that the general situation
was highly satisfactory to the allies.
Paris.-The allied armies are again
on the offensive It is officially adj
mitted that they are slowly regaining
every foot of the territory sacrificed
to the Germans in the early days OF
this week. The Germans are being
thrown back between the SOmme and
the Disc and have also been driven
north of Arras.
London.-It is announced that the
Canadian military contingent has ar
rived in England. These troops will
be sent to a camp previously selected
to complete their training.
Pekin.-The Japanese continue
their bOmbardment of the Kiao Chau
Notifications and are reported here
to be in possession of the outer chain
of the Using Tau Notifications. The
fleet continues to cooperate with the
land forces and, according to a state
ment by the Japanese legation, three
of the harbOr forts have been de-
molished.
The Hague.-Communication with
Antwerp is interrupted. The city is
known to be under a terrific bonn
bardment from all sides. Following
refusal to acquiesce in the demand
for the surrender of the city by the
military authorities, the Germans,
who DreviOusIv had confined their
fire to the encircGng chain of forts,
turned their guns on the city itself.
They had given two hours notice
to the inhabitants to leave, and thou
sands fiocked out in utter panic. The
roads to the Dutch frontier are lit
tered with household goods, clothing
and personal belongings of every
character, abandoned by the terrified
Belgians in their mad rush to safety.
