LONDON, Aug. 26.-Reports from
Ostend today say that the German at
tack on that city has been renewed.
Scouts report heavy bodies OF Ger
man reInforcements coming up and II
Is believed the city will be forced to
surrender.
Steamers arriving at FoIkstone re-
rort the presence Of English warships
near the Ostend harbor. Tho London
newspapers say tho capture Of Ostend
by Germans will be a direct menace
to England inasmuch as 1t is only
sixty miles eff tho British coast. They
profess to believe It Is tho intention
OF tho German general staff to take
the city and then mount heavy guns
10 protect II from raids by sea. The
danger, Of Zeppelin raids is also dis
cusscd at length. There is no dis
guisina the fear England has towards
these "vuItures' of the air az they
are described In today's reports from
Vienna. The narrow escape Of tho
royal palace at Antwerp In yesterdays q
raid shows that ZeppeIins operated
by an exrert-and Count Zeppelin,
despite his great age, has volunteered
to operate one in person-can become
a real menace. The distance across
the channel from Ostend would be
easily negotiated. The bitterness OF
feeling against England and the fact
that up to the present the British
fleet Is intact may lead the Germano
to undertake an aerial raid which
might have serious reslts. In add
ton the Daily Mail In discussing the
almost certain capture Of Ostend TO-
day says: From naval standpoint
Ostend Is we'll equipped to serve as
a refuge and habor. If 1t were strong.
Iy held by land, several German war
ships might attempt dash there
from WiIhelmshaven or Hellgoiand
Once under the protection Of tbs
land guns they would have a base for
raids against channel shipping.

sixty miles Of country and Is passing

The general staff announces that
the Austrians who yesterday gathered
in force along the river sercth near
TarnopoI have been attacked by Cos-

PARIS, Aug. 2.-The big
battle is progressing favor
ably.
The war office, after a
twelve hour silence following
its admission that the fate of
France hinged upon the result
Of the fighting now in prog
ress, issued the above laconic
| statement. It meant that the
! allied lines Of defense were
holding. It also meant that
the German offense which has
surged against the secondary
defense for thirty-six hours
has been unable to penetrate
it.
The few words of encour-
agement transformed Paris
from city of gloom to one of
hope. And coupled with the
statement, came the announce
ment that the British were
rushing rejnforcements to the
front. Frances desperate
condition has been recognized
BY her ally and the assistance
needed to withstand the de-
termined invasion of German
lighting men, now doubly dan
gerous under the incentive of
early victory, is forthcoming.

In fact were not the men so we'll known some of their re- citations would be unbelievable, Art tist Mecklem, like all men of genius, is one of the doubters and has gone so far as to sketch cartoon depicting the scenes of the adventure, which sketch is being shown around the club room where it is causing some diver sion. One of the men is shown as doing the tango with a lop-eared bruin, another is jumping from peak to peak in pursuit of a hump.shouldered grizzly, while along the beach is strewn dead carcasses like the heca- tones of Homer.
