British May Be In Antwerp.
London, Oct. 9.-It is reported here
that a British expeditionary force Of
formidable strength has entered Ant
werp after passing through Client.
The war Office refuses to confirm the
report, but 1t comes from a creditable
source. The expedition is said to con-
sist almost exclusively of artillery and
naval detachment with heavy guns.
The Germans before Antwerp, 1t is
estimated. cannot number more than
100000.
Death and destruction are carried
into the city not only by the siege
guns, but also by feet of six Zeppe-
Inns, which circle high overhead, drop
ping bombs. These have destroyed,
by some accounts, at least a sore Of
houses, manning and killing the thirty
or forty occupants.

ward the North sea. While there is
dearth OF news, It is evident the de-
cision cannot be long delayed.
The French war Office in Paris,
though issuing its customary afternoon
and night reports, draws the veil of
mystery over the latest operations,
and the German general staff at Ber-
lin is silent.
Nevertheless, judging from the con-
fidert bearing of the officials at the
British war office and from the gains
reported in the French afternoon
statement, It seems evident that the
allies believe victory almost at hand.

Battle Line Heightened.

Twenty thousand Germans march
ing westward met a temporary check
at Quatrecht, near Wetteren, east Of
Client, at the hands of French and
British troops.
The French communication issued
Sunday afternoon deals only with the
battle, or series of battles, which has
been in progress for four weeks from
east to west in France with an ever
extending line, which now reaches
northward from the elbow at Noyon
to and across the Belgian border at
Armentieres.
The statement says that the allies
have held their positions everywhere
and that German cavalry, which was
attempting to envelop the allies left
wing and had seized certain points of
passage on the river Lys, to the east
of Aire, 20 miles from the coast, was
defeated and retired to the northeast
into the Armentieres district.
Cavalry on Large Scale.
At the same time, the Germans de-
livered a vigorous attack on the right
bank of the Ancre river, between Arras
and the Disc, without making any pro-
gress.
This indicates that the battle in
Picardy, comprising the department of
Somme and part of Disc, Pas-de-Calais
and Aisne, in which the cavalry is
participating on a scale not seen in
previous modern wars, extends over
a very considerable area. Here are
many miles of open country where
horsemen can maneuver with advan-
tage.
Between the River Disc and Rheims,
and particularly in the region north
west Of Scissors, where the British
forces are entrenched, further pro-
gress has been made. 1t thus seems
probable that the Germans have
abandoned some of their strongly en-
trenched positions in this neighbor-
hood. 1t is reported that sanitary rea-
sons have compelled this, as the
trenches in which the troops have
been living for weeks have become
breeding places for disease.
The Germans have resumed their
night attacks between Craonne and
Rheims, which, according to French
accounts, have been repulsed. From
Rheims to the Meuse, nothing of i'm
portance has occurred of late, but in
the Apremont district of the Woevre,
to the east of st. Mihiel, the Germans
made violent attacks during the night
of October 9 and the following day.
Apremont was taken by the Ger
mans, but was retaken by the French
and remains in their hands. The Ger
mans apparently are determined to
maintain as far as possible their posi-.
tions here, where they have pierced
the line of Notifications between Yer
dun and Toul along the river Mouse.
Should they be successful against the
allies elsewhere, this doubtless would
be the route by which they would en-
deavor to enter the heart of France.

London-German troops are advanc-

capture the city by a sudden attack
and makes prisoners of King Albert
and the Belgian government officials,
according to a dispatch from The
Hague.
Belgian, British and French armies
took positions Sunday on new bat
tie line southeast of Ostend for the
defense of that city and a resumption
of operations against the German lines
of communication in Belgium. Strong
British reinforcements permitted the
Belgian army to pass Client intact TO
effect consolidation with the French
and British.
This new stand of the allies is in
tended to develop into strong often
sive, Paris dispatches say, with view
toward striking at Brussels, so men
ace the German communication
through Belgium as to make it neces-
sary for the invaders to abandon
France and once for all remove the
danger of another advance toward
Paris. Large numbers of troops are
said to have been sent by General
Joffre to reinforce the allies already
before Ostend, and operations on
large scale are expected in that region
soon.

There are FIVE Michigan life insur-
ance companies and at the end of last
year their combined insurance in force
in the state amounted to less than !
per cent of the life insurance carried
by the sixty-seven companies from out
of the state which wrote insurance In
Michigan.
So tar as we know, the Lincoln Life
OF Fort Wayne is the first outside COM
pany to elect Michigan directors to It's
board and thus lend the assurance to
its $500 Michigan policyholders that
their interests are being looked after
on the board of directors by big bust
ness men Of their own state. This
move on the part of the Lincoln Life
ought to assure Michigan people that
their interests are receiving careful
attention and that the company merits
the entire confidence of Michigan peo-
pie.
The Lincoln Life has over twenty
one millions of life insurance in force
and about eight millions of it is on
the lives of Michigan citizens. 1t is
writing new business in Michigan at
the rate OF two million dollars a year
and has about 40 per cent of it's entire
assets invested in Michigan farm
a. loans and municipal bonds. In other
words the life insurance premiums
that have been paid on these Michigan
policies has been reinvested in the
state to help build up the resources of
the Michigan people. This is more
than any other outside company does
and It should result in a greatly in
creased Michigan business for this
splendid company.
The Lincoln Life is seeking to add
to its already splendid agency force
in Michigan and should like to receive
applications from Michigan men or
women who seek employment or de-
sire to better their present positions.

Civil Service for Tacoma

Tacoma will probably have "a chance to vote this
spring the adoption of more complete civil SER
vice for the city There is little doubt that it will be
accepted by the people if it is properly gotten up,
The advanced thought of today is unanimous for the
most broad and far reaching application of civil
service.
Chicago has civil service that has almost COM
pletely transformed government there in the last
five years. New York has complete civil service and
while it protects the efficient in his place it COM
pes increased efficiency at all times and drones
automatically weeded out by the efficiency mark
ings.
Right along with civil service must go an efficiency
test The work of civil service is not to simply keep
an employee in his position and give him sinecure
for life, but to give greater efficiency to municipal
service
Portland has just adopted complete new sched-
ule of salaries and whole system of civil service and
efficiency whereby city employees automatically pro-
gress from the low grades up to higher salaries and
better positions as they show efficiency.
This is what Tacoma needs The salary roll of Ia
coma is patchwork thing that represents long
series of grabs, political Juggling and personal ia
voritism 1t is time the city not only got down to
systematic civil service, but to efficiency basis
and salary schedule that will pay for their
vice and not because they happen to be friends of
