GERMAN SIEGE GUNS CANNONADE ANTWERP
 WITH AWFUL EFFECT
Forces, Aided By Krupps, Consistently Drive Small Force Of Defenders To Inner Defences Of The City

the German infantry contrtbq1ted very little towards the progress of the ene- my. Their marksmanship was very poor and 1t was only by hur1ing for- ward successive bodies of men that they succeeded in making any ad- vance.
 'tOn the other hand, their big guns are admitted to be very effective and what losses there have been among the allies were caused almost exclu- siveIy by shrapneI.
 Today the Germans renewed their attempts, to force the passage of the Sche1dt but, up to the moment Of writing, without any more success than previously. There has been fighting all along the line between Grembergen and Schoonaerde, but with the exception of desultory snip ing across the river 1t consisted of artillery practice. .
 Again the enemy concentrated his attention on the Belgian position at Schoonaerde, where the only remain ing bridge not under the shelter of the Antwerp forts Is a tempting bait; but he never approached within in fantry striking distance, This in spite of a continuous bombardment, with the idea of si1encing the Belgian batteries and of s11e1ling the infantry from their trenches which were with in easy range of the river bank. As matter or racrs the German held guns were even less effective than yesterday, when. enfi1aded and out ranged, they were compelled to with draw further south towards the main position at Alost. -
 Today the enemy's shell fire inn posed a severe strain on the Belgian infantry in the trenches. Hour after hour shrapneI burst oveT them. in f1icting considerable although not a. serious number of casualties Under this trying ordeal the gallant defend CTS stuck to their trenches and ac- counted for every one of the enemy who dared to show himself on the opposite bank within range Of their rifles"
