.'Long after they had been evacuat-

to destroy them. Near the southern
suburbs the ground had been mined
by the Belgians but the Germans were
warned by traitors from within the
citv and took care to avoid the danger
zone.
"On Thursday morning the retreat
ing troops from Antwerp passed on
their fight to Ostend no fewer than
s;x hundred motor cars filled with sold
iers who had already passed through
the town. The intention was to reach
Ostend by forced marches and the
soldiers were relieved of knapsacks,
which we're carried in the vans. Mo
tor busses from London carried foot
sore troops who had fallen out OF line.
Then came columns of machine guns
drawn by dogs. The procession con-
tinued all day and late that night the
artillery passed through. They had
been in a rear guard action. An Of
ficer said they had accounted for heaps
of Germans"

ANTWERP PEOPLE
FLEE IN MAO PANIC
BOMBARDMENT DRIVES THEM
FROM THEIR HOMES; THoUs.
ANDS GATHER At QUAY.

London, Oct 12.-The Daily Chron'
icIe's Antwerp correspondent gives 9
picture of the panic in the Belgian
town and the fight of the populace to
safety.
Before the bombardment had been
long in operation" the correspondent
says. "Antwerp's civil population fell
into panic. Immense crowds gathered
along the quayside and at the railroad
stations in their efforts to make an
exit from the city. Early on Thursday
morning more than 10000 had assemb-
led on the long quay in the hope OF
boarding fifteen tug boats bound for
Flushing, Rotterdam and other Dutch
ports.
"These were not vessels Of any con-
siderable carrying capacity and as no
one had made arrangements for sys-
tematic embarkation wild struggle
followed among the frantic people. The
boats had no regular gangways and the
only means OF boarding them were
over narrow planks tipped at danger
Gus angles.
"Up these the fugitives struggled,
the strong elbowing the weak out OF
the way in their mad haste to escape.
It was marvellous that there was not q
terrible death list resulting from the
struggle. Many persons were forced
over into the water but their rescue
generally was prompt. AS far as it was
POSSIBLE to learn the casualty list con-
sisted of two women drowned and one
woman suffering from fractured
skull sustained in fall from plank.
cat 2 o'clock in the afternoon all the
tugs had gone and the quays were still
filled with crowds"

from the Balkan states, expressed the
opinion that the death OF King Charles

Roumanian politics as the differences

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE progress of the
campaign in northern France and the
fall of Antwerp were forgotten for a
moment today by the people of Paris
who spent their time discussing the
throwing of bombs on the capital from
German aeroplanes as result OF
which three persons were killed yes,
terday and fourteen injured. At the
same time officials adopted measures
looking to the prevention of similar
acts in the future.
The first thing done was the ap.
pointment of General Hirschauer to
take charge of the aerial defense of
the city. General Hirschauer is an
aeronautic expert. He organized last
year the aerial branch of the army
service. Later number of deputies
met at the call Of Deputy Denys Coch.
in to consider various means of rend.
ering the city more secure from aero
plane attacks.
The creation of aerial squadrons
ready to dash after the air craft of the
enemy as soon as they should be
signalled approaching the city; the
arming of fast monoplanes with quick.
firipr guns and the telephoning of
warnings by residents of the capital
to the French Aero club, which is now
under military control, were among
the suggestions discussed. Finally M
Cochin sent telegram to Bordeaux
urging the immediate adoption of eff.
icacious measure with the view of re
assuring the people.
The news that one of the German
bombs yesterday struck the cathedral
Of Notre Dame has been communicated
to the vatican. It is reported that the
pope exclaimed upon getting the mes
sage: Providence has prevented an
outrage which would have shocked the
world
Military critics, commenting today
on the movements of the armies in the
Apermont region, declare it is worthy
OF note that Apermont, to the east of
st. Mihiel. is the route the enemy
would take if they sought to with
draw from st. Mihiel in the direction
of Lorraine. Their positions in this
vicinity mean much to them, it is said.
Britons Without News.
London, Oct. 12.-Except for flood
of vivid details regarding the fall of
Antwerp the British public has been
practically cut off from news from the
front for IL hours. 1t is felt, however,
that events of tremendous Importance
are either occurring or are impending
in the area about Lille where the cav
airy of the contending forces has been
in violent contact for week.
The military critics for the London
morning papers devote their space to
speculation regarding the utility of
Antwerp for German offense or de-
fense. Most of them agree that unless
Dutch neutrality is violated Antwerp
will be of no more use in forwarding
the Germans purpose of making Zep-
pelin and naval raids on England than

Hungarian officials who returned to
Marmaros-Szgiet after the Russians
departed from that town found, it is
said, that the invaders had done no
damage to the place. They had neith-
