Antwerp Hears Kaiser's
Troops Set Torch to Build
ings and Removed Engines.

ANTWERP. Sept. 1s-Cffcial advices
received here today claim that further
instances of German vandalism are seen
in the destruction OF Terrnonde Only
church and a hospital remain in the
city. and they are damaged. these re-
ports say. The Germans applied the
torch to tie buildings. which had been
badly damaged by the bombardment.
and. famed by strong wind, the fire
swept through the town.
With sardonic humor the Germans
carefully removed the towns fire en-
gines before burning the city hall and
took them outside of the village
Afterward they carefully replaced them
on the ruins OF the destroyed communal
building.
Advices from Brussels say the Ger
mans have made elaborate preparations
to destroy the city in case Of an at
tack. They are reported TO have placed
explosives under q number Of the prom
inent buildings. Meanwhile they con-
tinue their work of surrounding the city
with earthworks under cover of which
they have mounted a large quantity OF
artillery.
King Albert Is again at the front. but
there has been no serious fighting since
Wednesday. The Germans are again
reported to be increasing their forces in
southern Belgium evidently in anticipa-
ton of an attack from the west.

Paris Declares Germans
Are Still on the Defensive
By WARRINGTON DAWSON

BORDEAUX. Sept. 19-The lack OF
details from the front. the war office
merely declaring that the fighting con-
tinues with intensity on the left, and
with the Germans lighting a defensive
campaign in the center. is causing anX-
iety.
The failure of the allied armies TO
drive the Germans out of France. or. in
fact. TO gain any ground al all is in
terpreted as indicating that the numeri-
rsl advantage the allies enjoyed at the
commencement Of the battle of the Aise
has been overcome.
II is officially admitted that the Ger
mans have greatly strengthened their
position by rushing re-enforCements to
the front. Through the fail OF Maui
htuge. the Germans We're able greatly to
shorten their line of commun' cation.
and full advantage has been taken of it.
Every fortified position in Germany
has been STRIPPED of its garrison. which
ras been rushed TO the front to fill the
gaps in the fighting line. 1T Is now GER
tain that the Germans have not less
thsn ] 20: 010 men OF Their nrSt line hold
;nS tkeir new positions in northern
France.
The chief encouraging note in the Of
fetal communicates - the reiterated
declaration that at no point have the
Germans been able actually to assume
rhe offensive. Every attempt to break
through the French positions has so far
been checked.

Thousands Are Slain In .
Night Attack by Germans

PARIS. Sept. l9.-Another night at
tempt by the Germans TO break through
the alIied left wing was frustrated. IT
'as however. marked by fierce fight
ing in which many were killed and
Wounded. according 10 the reports
reaching General GaIlieni today.
The lighting on the left. where the
combined armies of Generals Won kluck
nd Won Buelow are massed. increases
n ntensty. but the allied lines are
s!ouly being pushed forward. The
Germans retire 10 new positions. con-
structed in the rear OF their original
ones. as the pressure increases. But
q, no point have they actually been
defeated.
Along the rest of the line the great
cattle continues as an artillery duel.
There has been practically no fight
inC b. the infantry for thirty-siX hours,
noth sides realizing the futility of sac
lcinG men, while the intrenchcd po-
sitions remain intact, and every effort
Is being made to demonish the German
batteries.
The Washington times., 1914-09-19

As in the battle of the Marine. the
French center is being subjected 10
the most seN ere pressure. The real
reason. of course. is the desire of the
Germans to relieve the great pressure
on their right wing. where the entire
British rxpeditionary force, aided by
the French. have been slowly but
surely crumplng up the German armies
of Won kluck and Won Buelow.
Yet if the center should go, the posi-
lion of the French left would immedi-
ately become serious. and it would have
to fall back on the pivot of the de-
fcDSes of Paris.
There is no attempt to disguise the
fact trat If the Germans should Gin the
present battle. Paris would .Je menaCed
again. because the French would have
Il fall back on the lines along the
Marne. Put the general staff is con-
f:dent that the Germans cannot win.
They say the resul- or the present
battle must be the final evacuation oS
France by the Germans
The French artillery Is being used to
advantage. reducing the strong German
entertainments. 1t is beCa use thu en-
trenchments are 80 strong that such
slow progress is being made. The
French commanders tried TO carry them
hy storm. found that II could not b.
done without the sacrifice Of thousands
of men, and decided to reduce them
with artillery.
The entire artillery branch of the
service is now in action. and eventual
success is expected.

President Orders Halt
On "POrk Barrel" Bill

Quiet but effective work by President
Wilson may Cneck the river and harbor
grab"
At his instance the ma jority party in
Congress MAJ be forced In abandon the
''melon-cutting." Instead OF approrri-
ating $40, 900 or s50.0O0. 600 in the river
and harbor appropriation bil.. it will be
forced to content itself with a joint
resolution. which will simply authorize
continuation of projects already
started.
BY this means Congress will be pre-
vented from making the biggest pork
barreI' appropriation ever attempted
at time when the public purse is lean
and the nation is anticipating being
called upon to tccept a 3ItN, ,0O0, 900
emergency war tax.
The appropriation bill. which reached
$50, 100000 in the Senate. may be pared
down To $1,000 001. With this sum.
authorities say. all work heretofore
authorized by past Congresses can be
carried on and safeguarded, but there
will be no items included for dredging
rivers that never sec commerce or i'm
proving streams which, on the testi-
mony of Congressman most affected,
could be more easily macadarnized than
channeled.
President Wilson has been deeply con-
cerned over what has appeared to be
a wanton extravaganza on the part of
of the fact that the Democrats came
into power as much by reason OF their
promises of economy as anything else.
he has sought by every method OF mild
counsel to check extravaganza. With
the outbreak of the war in Europe and
the sudden paralysis in foreign COM
merce, he found his Administration con-
fronted with an enormous deficit due to
the drop in customs receipts. Forced
to ask Congress for a tax to make up
the shortage. his appeals for economy
on their part were strengthened. Re-
Gently. It became known this morning,
his patience exhausted by the apparent
Indifference with which Congress heard
all such appeals. his attitude became
more peremptory. According to his
leaders in that body. his word has been
needed at last.
In the meantime. the President has Is
sued stringent instructions to members
Of his Cabinet to pare down to the low
est reasonable figures their estimates
of departmental expenditures for the
fiscal year beginning July !, 1915. The
orders are sweeping.
There are to be no fancy estimates.
no increases in operating charges. not
a salary Is to be raised. II his demands
are carried out to the letter. the re-
trenchment will be the greatest that the
departments have seen for some time.
The Washington times., 1914-09-19

The French artillery fire is increasing
in intensity. 1t was kept up all night
and there are indications of a coming
change from the German side.
The German assaults Of the last five
days have been tremendous. At a dozen
points on the center they have tried
again and again to take the offensive.
Division after division has been hurl-
ed forward en- masse, only to be shatter-
ed by the allies shell fire and forced To
give ground. And every time the German
lines have shown signs of wavering, the
allies have been thrown against them
with the bayonet.
AS a result. at a number OF points
ground has been gained as the German
soldiers do not relish the bayonet fight
ing.
But the main German intrenchments
except on the extreme left. remain in.
tact. as the artillery fire is too deadly
TO be faced.
Additional re-enforcements have been
sent forward to the left.
The general situation. as described in
the first official statement posted to-
day. is satisfactory, but practically un-
changed.
