LITTLE AUTHENTIC NEWS OF
GREAT EUROPEAN BATTLE.
Continued from Page II

Berlin, Oct. AN official report
from the German army headquarters
says that in the siege of Antwerp the
forts of Lierre, Waelhem and Koning-
shoyckt and the intermediate TedOubts
with thirty guns have been taken.
"Thus a breach has been made in
the other circle of forts" the report
adds, rendering an attack on the in
ner circles Of forts and the town itself
possible.
Russians Defeated.
NEAR AugustoWo the Third Siberian
and parts OF the TWenty-secOnd Rus
sian army corps, composing the left
wing Of the Russian army, on. cross
ing the Niemen river, were defeated
after a furious battle lasting two days.
More than 1000 unWounded Russians
were made prisoners and a large
quantity of guns and machine guns
were captured"
London, Oct. General Won KIuck,
reinforced with troops from the Ger
nan center, continues to make a de-
termined stand against the attempt Of
the allies to outfiank him.
The French who yesterday officially
reported that all Germans attacks in
this region have been repulsed and
that the allies had resumed the often
sive, announced today that the battle
to the north of Disc which commenced
seriously about September %, con-
tinues with great violence with no de-
cisive result, and that at certain
points the French troops have had to
yield ground.
The Germans, in their report issued
last night, say the battle is proceeding
successfully for them.
Both in London and in Paris theer
is the greatest confidence, although
some surprise is displayed at the sue
cess of the Germans in preventing
the ~outfanking movement. There is a
feeling, however, that the Germans
cannot extend their line much farther
north without weakening it. at some
point.
Along the rest of the line the
French communication says there has
been no change. therefore, the pro
gress IN the region of scissors and in
Woevre. reported Sunday night, either
has satisfied them for the moment, or
they have been checked by the Ger
mans. Of the fighting mere as on
their right the German report says it
is proceeding favorably for the Ger
man arms.

Picking, China, Oct. 4-Japan's re-
ply to China regarding the occupation
Of China's territory was delivered
today.
Japan says first that it is planning
the complete destruction OF the Ger
man base at Tsing-Tau, and SO is JUS

way that constitutes an inseparable

Berlin, Oct. 3.-The Germans are
strong enough economically and
financially to carry the war to a sue
cessful conclusion, according to Vice
Chancellor Del Brueck. In a long in
terview today the vice chancellor de-
clares the country can not be starved
out.
The vice chancellor, referred to the
unanimous demonstration by repre-
sentatives of labor, agriculture, COM
merce, industry and trade on Septem-
Der %, of the determination of the
German people to see the war through
to a successful conclusion and de-
clared that this was no bluff, but was
justified by the spirit of the prepara~
ton of the country.
Loan Institutions.
He then described the loan institu-
tons where funds may be obtained on
negotiable securities and said no class
is without an opportunity of adequate
credit. Accordingly, he said, there
was no necessity for a general mora
forum.
OA0 u0IIOuS VI IIO-
bilization," said the vice chancellor,
was the lack of employment. des-
pite the fact that the call to the colors
took from 5,00O,O 900 to 100000 abled
bodied men from the industrial field
into the army. The idleness was due
to the fact that the ~curtailing of in
dustry caused local unemployment.

most delicate questions that has arisen
rs a result OF the European war re
lates to the status of foreign born
American citizens who have either
become natuIaliZed Americans or have
taken out preliminary papers. Al
ready several cases have arisen which
have led to an exchange of views be
tween the state department and Brit
ish officials and already an active cor
respOndence is in progress to secure
the release of such prisoners when
they are carried into British ports.
One of the first cases arose in Hall
fax, n. s., where a sailor of German
birth who had taken out preliminary
papers went ashore from an Ameri-
can ship and was arrested by the Ca
madam authorities. The American
consul promptly interviewed and Sc.
cured the release of the sailor.
More recently in the far east sail
Crs OF German birth who declared
their intention to become American
sailors were taken off American ships
in British waters under the claim that
they were r~eservists. These men sub
s%equently were released but warned
not to return under penalty of being
arrested.
The state department takes the
stand that where the sailor is fully
n~aturalized there can be no question
CT exemption from arrest in view of
the fact that Great Britain has recog-
nized the right of naturalized foreign
ers in her treaties with the United
States.
Berlin, Oct. 3.-'"The American
Breakfast Club" assembled today for
the first time since the outbreak of the
war. About $50 Americans attended
Including the legation and consulate
staff and many business men.
1t was decided to deny statements
CT the foreign press regarding famine,
rioting and famine in the German
man staff. Order prevails in the city
and there is not lack of food. Ambas-
sador Gerard, thanked the Berlin
banks for the assistance they had
given Americans during the crisis and
President Wolff, of the American
chamber of commerce, announced
Americans in Berlin oon would open
a free kitchen for the benefit of the
poor. This action was to reciprocate
courtesies shown Americans in Ger
many.

BOSTON, June 3.-When Eddie
Plank talks about pitchers and pitch
ing corps, he says something worth
putting down in the book, because
there is not a man connected with
baseball today who knows any more
about either than the veteran side
wheeler Of the past and future cham
pions, the Philadelphia Athletics.
Whether il was the natural mental
association between the wild animals
at which we were gazing at the
Bronx Zoo Sunday afternoon, and
the performance at the Polo Grounds
on Saturday afternoon or not, it is
hard to say, nevertheless while view
ing these untamed beasts, Eddie was
asked, "What do you think of these
young pitchers that Connie has?"
SWELL" replied Eddie, "that isn't
such an easy question to answer. But
l will say this, that they haven't had
many days like Saturday, and don't
believe they will have. Taking all of
the pitchers on our staff, they are just
as good as any in the league. You
know yourself that or pitchers have
not been hit as hard as some of the
others: in fact, in the games we've
played our club has gotten more hits
than the other clubs, so there is
nothing left but to say our pitchers
are better.
"of course" the Gettysburg husband
man went on, I'VE have some fine bat
ters on our club. At the same time,
there Is no way to differentiate between
good batting and weak pitching, nor be-
