Germans Expect Victory

Berlin, Oct IA tBy wireless to Say,
vile, L. 1.-THE news from Antwerp
was received last evening. No extra
editions Of the papers announced the
fall Of the Belgian town, but the fact
became generally known and the
streets We're filled with people carry

monstration, only a quiet feeling Of
satisfaction over the achievement Of
German arms.

the German advance in this vicinity.
Further south there is reason to be-
lieve that the left wing Of the allies
has been strongly reinforced, and CON
firmation of this is contained in the
latest report from General Joffre, the
Fronch commander in chief, that the
offensive against the Germans had

forces in this vicinity General von
KIuck has thrown an entire army

London, Oct 14.-Out Of the mass
OF wholly irreconcilable assertions re-
garding the war in Europe emerges
the seemingly established fact that
the Germans are attempting to re
peat the rapid sweeping movement
which five weeks ago took them all
most to the gates or Paris.
With most Of Belgium already occu-
lied. there is nothing that can stop
the invaders reaching the coast and
remaining there at least temporarily
unless the British naval guns are able
to render Iterhra impossible. The
length Of their stay at the popular
seaside resort. should they seize Os-

outcome Of the great battle now un-

certain German newspapers concern
ing the pretended destruction Of two
divisions of French cavalry This in
formation Is absolutely erroneous.
The truth is that certain forces of
French and German cavalry, with sup
ports, have been engaged for several
days along the front at La Bassee,
Estaires and Baitleule
"The German cavalry succeeded in
making a very slight advance between
the canal Of La Basaee and the Lys,
but they were obliged to draw back
in the north Of Eys
"The losses sustained by the Ger
man cavalry are assuredly as per-
ceptible as our own One Of the Ger
man divisions suffered particularly
because it was pursued during one
entire day by our aviators, who did
not cease to throw bombs on German
troops.
Another case is the fact that the
Germans announce they are under
taking the Investment Of Verdun. In
this instance, also, to learn the truth,
it is sufficient to refer to the situa-
ton as set forth, on several different
occasions, in the Feunch official COM
munications.
"The Germans have not. succeeded,
up to the present. time IN hurting
themselves against fortified posi-
tons at Verdun ina have, how
ever. made two IL ffofts to en-
French forces which are operating
around yerdun. One of these efforts
was characterized by their attempt
to go through the Argonne forest be-
tween Binarville and Yarennes. 1t
will be recalled that this movement
failed, with very important losses.
We did not even announce at the time
that two German battalions had been
annihilated in this engagement.
The other enveloping movement
on the part of the Germans. under
taken in much greater numerical
strength, was directed toward cross
ing the Meuse in the region of st.
Mihiel. If the Germans succeeded in
reaching this river, in the front be-
tween Maizey and Chauvoncourt, all
their efforts to advance further re-
suited in failure. These German forces
found themselves caught on the flank
by detachments Of our troops, which
advanced from the south to the north
through the southern section Of the
heights of the Meuse and through the
southern section Of the Woevre dis
trict."

effort centered.
The intermixing Of the armies along
front of hundreds of miles appears
today be as chaotic as is the news
concerning the operations furnished
by the intelligence departments Of
che different headquarters. The
French armies are declared to be
gaining ground at Berry au Bac,
northwest of Rheims. and at souain,
on the east side Of the cathedral city,
While at least one portion Of tie Ser

Again, further to the east, the French
occupy Apremonte in the forest ct the
Argonne, well to the northwest Of
yerdun, and verdun is the position
which the army under the German
crown prince has for SO long been
attempting to reduce.
To the east of the position Of the
crown prince the French are said to
be pushing toward Metz. 1t is report
ed that in order to improve the crown
princes chances of reducing Verdun,

Antwerp are now on the way to join
