GERMANS TAKE OUTER
LINE OF BELGIAN FORTS

London.-The Belgian legation In
an official statement, admitted that
the Belgian army had been unable to
hold It's first line OF defenses south Of
Antwerp. along the Senne river, and
between the Senne and Dyle, The
Belgians have been compelled to with.
draw TO their secondary line. which
follows the curve OF the Nethe river,
and which is claimed to be impregna.
BILE. The official statement says:
"on the east OF the Senne river we
have been Obliged 10 Withdraw from
our positions and fall back upon the
Nethe river line on account of the yio-
lent attack by the German artillery
We held the Senne-Dyle positions for
five days In the face of the most fu
rious assaults.
"Our new position along the Nethe
is very strong and we will resist there
until the last ounce of our energy.
Antwerp itself is quiet and confl
dent. In preparation for any eyentu.
ality. guns have been posted at every
point OF vantage In the suburbs so
that II the Germans should succeed In
breaking through the line OF forts they
could be prevented from entering the
city proper. AS a matter of fact. there
are few of the active German lines OF
troops left in northern Belgium.

clusion that the representatives or the
people are getting more voluble and
eIcitable. like che French, for instance.
Leaving aside the question OF any
change which may be coming over the
American character, u number OF other
explanations can be made. For one
thing. IL IL 10 he remembered that the
size OF the house was much increased
In the last reappOrtiOnment Congress
IL entitled. therefore, 10 do little
more talking.
Moreover. now that senators are
elected by direct vote. they feel II
necessary 10 do more talking for the
benefit OF their constituents, and they
Introduce more matter into the record
IN way of letters. clippings. etc.
Again, there used 10 be fine old
tradition that n new senator should
be seen but not heard. lie was sup
posed TO sit silent In his seat and OBJ
serve the way Of the elder statesmen
for year or 30. IL he ventured TO
talk early In the game. as Albert
jeremiah Beveridge OF Indiana did
when he made his advent and as La
Toilette. Cummins. and some OF the
progressive minded senators did, he
was regarded as rude. The elder states
men hazed him by going 10 the cloak,
rooms and saying mean things about
him.
But that Is so no more. The new
senator is allowed to talk as freely as
the senior. This adds 10 the record.
Additional reasons might be given.
One factor Is that the government is
getting bigger, more great subjects OF
legislation are pressing for attention.
and these subjects are productive OF
debate.

CONGRESS MAKES
RECORD FOR TALKING
More Speeches Than Ever Be-

WashingtOn.-This is the most talka.

by an examination OF the statistics.
The Congressional Record now con-
tains over l4.0OO pages for the present
session. That many pages OF the Rec

since the first Monday OF last Decem-
Der. In those pages may be found dis

the sun, from questions Of information

The largest record achieved In
single session. prior TO this time. was
In the regular session OF the Fifty-first
congress. 1t met In December, 1880,
and continued to the first OF the next
October. 3O4 days. II filed record
OF 1880 pages.
Ii must be remembered, too, that the
present session OF congress is not over.
II will last five or six weeks longer,
perhaps more than that.
Something like 400 pages are filled
weekly. IL Is safe TO predict that by
the time this session ends the Record
will contain wei up toward 1900
pages. When tAr Record is bound In
its final form the number Of pages will
be TO some extent fewer. This Is be-
cause in making up the permanent

the daily record are omitted and each
page is made up as compactly as pos
sible.

The German right has hammered
away at the French left wing in the
region between Roye and Lasslgny
and east of Amlens toward Douai. All
reports agree that the fighting is Of
the most deadly nature with the losses
enormous.
In reality, the proceedings are in
the nature of separate and distinct en-
gagements, more Independent battles
than anything else. The Germans
have been very heavily reinforced, but
so have the allies. The result is that
the contest has borne the appearance,
for the most part, of draw. with the
advantage to the allies, In that for
every individual killed or wounded on
their side the Germans are losing two
or three.
The Germans continue their attempt
TO gain a foothold on the west bank of
