EMOEN CREW IN
BRITISH HANDS

TOf 10, Dec. l.-Certain British
warships have captured those MEM
bcrs of the crew of the German cruis-
er Emden. which escaped st Cocos
island when the cruiser vas de-
stroyed November 10th by She Aus
traIian cruiser sydney. The German
sailors went to sea in IA Cocos Island
schooner named Aysha.
Forty men of the German cruiser
Emden were ashore on Cocos Island
when ther vessel was overtakcn and
sunk by the Sydney. Under command
of Lieutenant Mueickc, they com
mandeered Cocos Islard schooner,
loaded it with provisions and sailed
away. A dispatch from Manila De-
ccmber 16, said these men later capt
urcd a collier on which they mounted
two Maxim guns. evidently brought
with them from the Emdcn, and be-
gan raiding commerce in the Pacific.
This report came thru officers of
the British steamer Malacca, which
arrived at Jolo. 1t has not, how
ever, been confirmed. frcm any Off
cial quarter. Where they captured
this collier has not been divulged.
The Malacca. fearing that she would
be overhaulcd by this collier, made
her way into Jolo without showing
lights. This would indicate that the
collier has been operating in the Pa

pressing steadily forward. Fierce
fighting, almost continuous in char.
acter, continues on the southwest
angle of the line, where the German
line under Generals Won Boehm and
Won Kluck turns sharply northward
This, and The statement that all
along the battle front the situation
continues satisfactory, was the sub

Shells Set Belgian
City Ab|aze.
GERMAN GUNS ARE
CAUSING DESTRUCTION
Last Stronghold Of Little Nation
Expected to Fall Shortly.

London, Oct 10.-German heavy ar
tillery is pounding Antwerp, the last
remaining stronghold of the Belgian
army, while German armies to the
west continue the thus far indecisive
struggle with the French and British
allies.
The situation at Antwerp is in
doubt. The censorship, which mask.
ed the fighting there until the Bel
gian government was compelled to
withdraw to Ostend, is yelling the at.
tack on the city proper.
King Albert is variously reported
as leading part of the Belgian army
out of the city, with the intention
probably of effecting a juncture with
the British and French; and as hav-
Ing arrived at Selszaete, village on
the Dutch frontier. Refugees from

guns already have done much dam
age In the city.
Flames Raging in City.
The bombardment of Antwerps in.
ner forts is under way. Two of these
forts are reported to have been ST.
fenced and fire is said to have started
In many parts of the city.
The most recent statement by the
German war Office said the Germans
had crossed the flooded area along
the River Nethe and continued to
make progress.
In dispatch from Ghent the cor.
respondent Of the Star transmits the
following:
An officer whom / met states that
the bombardment of the cathedral at
Antwerp had begun at the hour he
left the city. Fire had broken out In
many places. The Germans were
using their sixteen-inch howitzers
with terrible effect on the inner ring
Of forts, but guns of smaller caliber
we're being employed for the destruc.
tion of the city itself.
THE burgomaster of Antwerp has
declared his intention of supporting
the military In resisting to the last"
Said Germans Used Fire Bombs.
An Ostend dispatch says the Ger.
mans threw incendiary bombs into the
city and many buildings, including
the Palace of Justice, soon were In
flames. II is rumored the Germans
have been repulsed on the left bank
OF the River Nethe. An Amsterdam
dispatch says Borgerhaut, suburb Of
Antwerp, Is burning. Berlin officially
announces the Germans already are
over the flooded area along the River
Nethe. but German military critics
advise the people against excessive
optimism, as the garrison of Antwerp
still is able to continue the desperate
resistance. The Belgians have made
several sorties on the left bank of
the Scheldt.
Practically the entire Belgian field
army has remained In the besieged
city to resist as long as possible the
fire of the great German guns, the
horrible effects of which were made
plain at Liege. The bombardment of
Antwerp has been SO violent that
houses at Rosendaal, a Holland town
more than twenty miles distant, have
been visibly shaken. Throughout the
night red glare Illuminated the sky
above the besieged city.

facing as to whether the Dardanelles
are to be swung open in answer to the
demand of the triple entente or
whether the key to the Black sea is
to remain in Turkish possession prom
ises to force the porte to take sides
and join the European struggle, ac-
cording to opinion expressed in diplo-
matte circles here
No word that the allies have de-
manded this concession from Turkey
has reached the French, English or
Russian embassies yet, but it was
pointed out by officials that 1t was
highly unlikely that such a step would
be revealed abroad.
At the Turkish embassy it was ad-
mitted that 1t might prove highly en-
barrassing to the sultan to be forced
to commit himself on such a request,
and it was considered unlikely that
end Turkish neutrality, which so far
has been rigidly adhered to despite
pressure eXerted from outside the EN-.
pire. Officials stated that unless no
other course was open, it was highly
unlikely that Turkey would submit to
change in its own policy because OF
outside influence.
Equilibrium Maintained.
Diplomats conversant with the Bal
kan situation stated that so far as
the countries now inactive were con.
cerned, equilibrium is still safely
maintaining, Notwithstanding Bul
garia's attitude toward Servia. Bul
garia, according to a statement by
Turkish officials, is closely allied with
Turkey and in case Turkey were
drawn into the struggle, as 1t is be
lieved it will be if the Russian cam.
paign in Galicia gets beyond Teutonic
aggression, Bulgaria will fight with
the sultan.
Efforts to be made by Great Brit
ain, France and Russia to open the
Dardanelles, as announced in a dec

eign minister, were said at the Rus.
sian embassy here to have only a
commercial purpose. Turkeys ac'

Black sea was pointed to as making
the proposed step necessary. Russia
it was explained, was not able to
ship its wheat nor the United States
its products to Russia through Black
sea ports. Russia, the officials insist
ed, had no desire to get her feet into
the Mediterranean.
