The GERMANS ARE SHUT IN
ANTwERP.s POSITION.

The strategical importance of the
city has resulted in making it one
Of the most strongly fortified places
in Europe. 1t was first strongly
fortified by Wellington In 1915. who
built twenty-five forts around the
city.
The outer line of forts are built
at a distance of from to 9 miles
from an inner line of detached
forts built at distance from 2 to
IN miles from the enceinte or
principal line of fortifications i'm
mediately surrounding the city.
In all, surrounding the city there
are no less than thirty forts, and
each of the forts is a marvel of en-
gineering skill and military
strength ..-
The forts are so designed that
they may be supplemented in time
of siege by the inundation of great
zones to the north and east of the
city. An advance across these in
undated areas would be practically
impossible. In addition to the areas
set apart for flooding in the event
Of siege, water can be turned into
a great moat that curves around the
city protecting the entire length Of
the enceinte.

1000 EACH DAY
Japanese Delay at Using Tau
Will Be Costly
In Life. Declare the Defenders
of the Fort.

Tsing-Tau, Aug. 29.-One of the
forts threw a shell across the entrance
of the bay yesterday afternoon at a
small party of Japanese or Chinese
that had landed on Cape Jaeschke.
The landing party departed immedi-
ately. Its mission was not known.
Six Japanese warships may be seen
every day from the Tsing-Tau forti-
fications, cruising back and forth be-
yond the range of the German guns.
Only men clad in khaki are permitted
to show themselves on the fortifica-
tions. White clothing is barred be-
cause it is conspicuous.
The Germans are continuing with
energy their preparations against. at
tack by land. Mines are being placed
and provided with electrical connec-
tions and guns are being brought into
position. The Germans declare that
every day allowed them for prepara-
ton means that they will be 'able to
inflict casualties on the Japanese OF
not less than 1000 men.
The roads within the leased terri
tory are in excellent condition and
motor cars are proving of great value.

KAISER ON THE JOB.
The Emperor Is Personally Directing
His Western Armies.

Geneva. Aug 29--Emperor William
and the German general staff are MAX
ing both Cologne and Mainz their head
quarters. according to intelligence
reaching Brussels today.
The emperor is passing continuously
between the two cities. personally di-
recting the armies in the fighting IN
Belgium.
Among the refugees arriving are two
Swiss army officers. They affirm that
the crown prince was not with the gem
eral staff and that it was untrue that
he was recently wounded.
There is much talk on the Swiss side
of the Italian border of Italy's reported
preparations to join with England and
France against Germany and Austria.
Italians in Switzerland have been called
to the colors and it is reported that the
Italian fleet has been concentrated at
a certain point on the Adriatic in prep
aration to join the French squadron
before Trieste.

There is an underlying conviction

ANTWERP IS SAFE
Scouts Report No Germans in
That Part of Country.
The Kaiser's Artillery Bonn
bardS UnfOrtified Towns.

London, Aug. 29.-The correspondent
of Reuters Telegram company at Ant
werp sends the following official state
ment which has been issued here:
"On Thursday the Germans, contrary
to laws of war, bombarded Malines. an
open and undefended town.
ION Friday morning the town was
partially occupied by German infantry,
which withdrew towards the south in
the afternoon and the bombardment
was renewed, four shells falling about
each quarter of an hour.
The enemy also bombarded the re-
gion about Heyst-Openberg. a town II
miles southeast of Antwerp, an open
locality not occupied by the military.
THE two operations had no less OBJ
ject than to terrOrize the civilian pop
ulation.
1.-The Germans have Systematically
bOmbarded the forts and gaps for the
As hours. The town itself suffered lit
tie. The enemy has invested the north
east portion of the place and is attack
ing the forts and gaps in that region.
The Belgian division retired to the Sec
ond line of defense which was bonn
barded violently. In turn the Belgian
and French troops made numerous
counter attacks.
THE Belgian division retired by way
of the Sambre and the Meuse and the
movement was accomp.-1hed in good
order. Our troops have rejoined the
French lines.
''Reconnaissances made in the neigh
borhood of Antwerp gave favorable re-
suits and showed the country unoccu-
pied. Our security, therefore, is COM
plete.''
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1914-08-29

the bombardment, and practically all
of the rest fled. The Germans are
bringing. up heavy siege guns Of a new
pattern for use against Antwerp.
These guns have also been used at
Malines. &
The Germans have ordered able
bodied Belgians in Liege and Tongres
and in. the vicinity to proceed at once
to Germany to assist in harvesting.
The news of this order is likely to
swell greatly the numbers of Belgian
refugees in southern Holland.
Cross the Rhine.
Rome, Aug. ga dispatch to the
Giornale d'Italia from Basel, Switzer-
land, says that three German army
corps, two Austrian army corps and a
great quantity of siege artillery have
crossed the Rhine.
''Stonewalling and Steamrolling.''
London, Aug. 29.-The military cor
respondent of the Times in his COM
ment on the war today says:
There is great difference between
the tasks Of the allies in the western
and eastern theater of war.
I'm the west our task is stonewalling,
that of the Russian is steamrolling.
The situation in the west is such
that only an extraordinary stroke of

BATTLE OF MONS
British Sergeant Describes the
Fight in q Letter.
Could Not Help Hitting the
Advancing Germans.

London, Aug. 29.-Sergeant Lotus,
writing to his brother in England of
the experiences Of the British in the
battle of Mons. says:
1T came unexpectedly at a time
when we had given up hope of seeing
cavalry pickets fell back, reporting the
approach of the enemy in force.
I'VE lay in trenches as our artillery
opened on them in fine style and soon
they returned the compliment. They
were long time finding the range.
after about half an hour their in
fantry came into view. They were in
solid squares. standing out sharply
against the sky line. You could not
help hitting them.
I'VE lay in our trenches without a
sound and they crept nearer and
nearer. Then our officers gave the
word. A sheet flame flickered along
the trenches and stream of bullets
tore through the advancing mass
They seemed to stagger like a drunken
man suddenly hit between the eyes
and then they made a run at us. Hall
tore through their ranks.
by this time our artillery began
dropping shells among them and then
they broke into open formation, rush
ing like mad toward the trenches. Or
our left the Germans fell back in con-
fusion and lay down wherever cover
was available. We gave them no rest
and soon they were again in flight.
Then came more shelling of our
trenches and another rush across the
open on our front. This time they
were strongly supported by cavalry
who suffered terribly but came up to
our lines.
I'VE received them in the good old
way the front ranks with the bayonet
and the rear ranks keeping up an in
cessant fire and after a hard tussle
they retired hastily. Just as they
thought themselves safe our mounted
men swooped down on them cutting
right and left.
This sort of thing went on through
the whole day without bringing the
Germans any nearer to shifting us
After the last attack we lay down to
sleep in our clothes but before sun
rise were told to abandon our posi-
tions. Nobody knew why We had to
but We obeyed without a murmur.
''The enemy's cavalry evidently mis-
understanding our action came down
on us again in force. but our men be-
haved very well and the Germans gave
it IN a4 a bad iOb.'

ever growing consumption, decreasing
supplies and prevailing high prices,
more acute than ever" said J. G.
Mohler, secretary of the Kansas board
of agriculture, in. discussing conditions
today.
THAT Kansas farmers should hold
their breeding herds intact and con-
serve the calves, is the opinion OF many
Of our more successful husbandmen. In
both the state and nation the beef in
dustry has been rapidly declining
while the population has been as stead
lily increasing, and the shortage of beef
has become a serious question
1.-The problem of upbuilding and re-
plenishing our herds is of paramount
importance. There are fewer beef cat
tie in Kansas today than in any year
since 1896. In fact, excepting 1894, '95
and '96, the number is smallest since
1885. Returns of assessors for 1914 show
a falling off in the past year of 126,OOO.

day. chairmen Of three state and ma
tion-wide political parties will turn
the keys in the locks of three state
headquarters. an installment of desks
and chairs and rugs and cuspidors and
waste baskets and glI pots and sta
tionery and campaign literature will
be delivered at the front door, a little

be started.
That is all there is to the opening
of the campaign.
The remainder is just hard work
And during this campaign the work
will be just a little harder, the pace a
little faster and the working hours
just a little longer than in any state
wide fight since 1898, when Morton
Albaugh reclaimed the state from the
Populists because he built up the best
organization Kansas had ever seen.
In the coming campaign, organization
will be the one thing on which all
