Three Antwerp forts and their re-

an official announcement issued here
today. The statement says:
"The Antwerp forts of Lierre, wael-
hem and Koenigshoycht and their i'm

been taken. This breach in the outer
circle of forts renders an attack on the
inner circle and the town possible"
Another official statement relating
to the operations in the eastern arena
of war says
Near Augustowo, the Third Siberian
and parts of the 22d Russian Army
Corps, forming the left wing Of the
Russian army crossing the Niemen,
were defeated after two days serious
battle. Over 1000 unwounded prisoners
and plenty of guns and machine guns
were taken"
That England is drawing on all her

ROME, oct. ..
Italy will not abandon her neutral policy
before November, If she does abandon
it at all. The army of SOOoO) men which
1t now has mobilized is not ready. The
soldiers. it is said. are not well sup
piled with boots, and the arsenals are
still depleted after the Libyan campaign,

If Italy does abandon It's attitude of
neutrality no sentiment will determine
its action, unless it be the almost uni
versal one of hatred Of the Austrians
which is in the blood of most Italians.
and especially of the Lombards and
venetians Italys decision will be
actuated by a calm consideration of
Italian interests.
A casus belll can easily be found, but
it will not be tho real cause Of war.
Italy will remain. in the meantime. at
solutely uninhuenced by threats or
nattery from the Powers noH at war.
The German plan Of telling Italy what
it ought to do has had the opposite
effect.
The attitude Of ITALY has been the sub
jcct Of renewed discussion in the last
week Austrian defeats by the Russians
and Servians have excited the public.
Demonstrations have taken place at

the German losses at Suwalh were
so large that out of hundreds only 20
men remained. The whole line of the
German retreat is blocked with the
bodies of their dead. 1t is thus that
the German invasion from East Prus-
sa into Russia has failed utterly.
The enemy is now definitely leaving

Germans tried to take the allied troops
by surprise, but their plans were dis
covered by an aeroplane scout.
Forty-eight of the garrison were killed

only 13 casualties, five killed and eight

Without further diplomatic controversy
with China the Japanese are proceeding
along the railway to Tsnan. Their troops
at Weihsien have been reinforced. The
Chinese have not withdrawn from the
line but are not opposing the japanese
march westward.
The Chinese foreign ministry proposed
to Japan that China take control of the
railway which is owned by Germans en-
pei all German employees from the district
and guarantee that the road will not be
transferred until the war ends.
The Japanese say they must occupy the
railway or the Germans will use il to
transport war supplies to Tsing-Tao.

upheld by the Rumanian Socialists,
who have issued a proclamation con-
