Rev. A. C. Lathrop, paster of the
Baptist church appeared to take up
the matter of a water supply for the
baptistry in the church. He stated
that as the church had no need for
water except for baptismal purposes,
the regular charge for continual SER
vice was considered as too expensive
and he requested that a charge for the
actual amount of water used might
be made. The request was complied
with.

Before a really serious assault upon
Antwerp can be made By anything ex-

must get across the Sche.dt River.
They have tried this time and again,
but each attempt has been repulsed by
the deadly fire from the Belgian forts
and the troops covering the gaps be-

The most violent effort to cross the
Scheldt has been made at TermOnde.

heavy artillery attack on the Belgian
lines. Three times they tried and each
time were driven back with great
loss. The town of Termonde Is reported

Dispatches say that Mallnes has been

AS the artillery duel continues the
safe roads into Antwerp are black with
refugees who have been driven from
