DR.. Reinhold, two weeks ago, saw
the name of DR.. Wehrmann in a pub
lished list of the dead at Liege He
cabled and sent wireless messages to
Berlin and other places in Germany,
but received no reply. Then he APP
plied to the White House and the
state department, making inquiries at
who reside at Madgeburg.

2. That with Antwerp in the hands
of the Germans the city could be
used as a base for Zeppelins to at
tack the English coast towns and
particularly London.
3. That Antwerp could be used as a
station for warships from which they
could not only attack England's easf.
ern coast towns, but also harm Eng
lish commerce on the North Sea,
which supplies the British isles with
most of their food products.
Antwerp is 1870 miles from Lon
don, and it would be physically pos
sible to operate Zeppelins with Lon
don as the objective. In fact, Lon
don has feared a Zeppelin attack for
some time, and has protected herself
against it. The lighting of the streets

out of my reverie by wierd whist

that the shell was from five hundred

probably another couple of thousand
feet beyond before my ear registered
its flight, did not prevent my duck

For half an hour the German bat

passing overhead and out of range.
Finally a soldier with telephone in

which the commander of the battery
scanned hastily. A word of COM

along the line giving varying ranges
to the different battery commanders.
The crews leaped to their positions,
and the battery went into action.
The firing continued for perhaps fif-
teen minutes, when there was a halt,
more telephoning, new set OF
ranges for some guns and a resump-
ton of firing.
The position of the heavy German
battery was well chosen. The mask

A Newark man, engaged in bust

than seven years, volunteered as
helper in the Red Cross service in
Germany at the outbreak of the war
and surrendered his two automobiles
Tor the transportation of wounded
soldiers. He Is Victor Benoit, who,
with his three brothers, has been
engaged in the leather business
abroad. He is now visiting his par
erts, Mr.. and Mrs Edward 2. Benoit,
at Goes place.
Mr. Benoit, in his story bore out
the reports of the use of dum-dum
bullets by the allies. He also said
that Englishmen taken prisoners
displayed a great deal of apathy to-
ward the war, showing no appetite
for battle.
One thing that impressed Mr.. Be
motifs hearers most was his absolute
confidence that in the end Germany
would triumph. In the course of his
talk he declared that he was con-
WINGED that the German army was
practically invulnerable, and that
while the fighting would last for a
year or eighteen months. at the end
eff that time the army would sweep
the whole OF Europe.

ROME, via Paris, Oct. 10.-Now
that Antwerp has fallen Germany
will begin operations against Great
Britain. according to the announced
plans of the kaiser's army contained
in German newspapers received here.
The newspapers assert that the
German army was waiting merely
for the occupation of Antwerp to
make Belgian the base of an attack
on England.
They add that Admiral Won Tirpitz,
the minister of the navy, who is now
at general headquarters with EN-
peror William, has announced that
he will go aboard the flagship of the
German fleet and direct the opera
tons of the navy.
Since it became evident on Octo-
Der that the Germans intended Sc
riously to invest Antwerp with three
army corps three explanations have
been put forward by military critics:
1. That the reduction of the mill
tary capital of Belgium as base fol
Belgian operations against German
lines of communication into France
was necessary in order to make use
elsewhere of the large bodies OF
troops protecting these lines.
