ferring the entire question TO COM
mittee which will report back TO that

che commissioners to decide as to just
what Kind of a building they want to
erect
Al the afternoon session Of the
board held at the First Police station
for the purpose of buying horses to
be used by officers In patrolling the
newly annexed sections of the city, il
was finally decided not 10 purchase
any of those exhibited, as none Of
them came up to the requirements Of
fle police department.
Last night the board decided to VISIT
several sales stables where il is hoped
that satisfactory animals can be pur-
chased at reasonable prices This viii
( be done probably today by a commit
tee. The opinion was expressed last
night that much troubls would be ex
perlenced in securing the necessary
number OF satisfactory horses on &C
count Of the large number which have
been bought up by purchasing agents
here for the countries at war.
The newly elected members OF the
police force, fifteen in number, will
be sworn in. and will commence their
duties tonight. at the different sta =
tons to which they have been assigned.

The United States government. hav-
Ing no knowledge as to whether Ger

Sea, is at a loss to select the one to

thought possible that when this In

sensations may be made with the view

most DESTROYS that the United States
take some such action, as their trade Is
greatly hampered by the present situa-
ton.

DEFEND UNTIL FIRE
BECOMES MASSACRE
BY F. BANiSTER.
1ternatlonal News Service.


Ostend.-I was right up on the firing
line near Lokeren when the Belgians
were ordered to retreat from the
trenches and was carried along in the
frantic rush for shelter beyond the
range of German shells. Infantrymen,
faded, heavily weighted by accouter-
ments, stumbled across the fields, sweat
pouring from their faces, and sank, ex-
hausted, to lie for few moments and
then scramble to their feet and stag
ger forward again as shells continued
bursting around them.
They fought bravely and well. The
trenches were not vacated anywhere
till the rain of German shells meant
sheer massacre If the defenders re-
mained.
In the retreat of the field army
which had been defending Antwerp.
| along the one road still kept open to
the west, were many soldiers who had
| been fighting continually IA days,
snatching hurried sleep on the bare
| earth or pavement. Hundreds col
| lapsed on the march and had to be
left behind at various points, to fol-
low on after treatment and rest. The
| Germans have not yet reached Ostend.
Horse meat has been substituted for
| beef at most of the hotels and restau
rants. Otherwise there is no lack Of
| food at normal prices.
Every day, spies are arrested in and
near Ostend. One man was seized
! after chalking in corner of the vii
| lage railway station some figures the
interpreters supposed indicated the
| strength of the allies in the neighbor-
hood. He was dressed as a simple
| peasant and showed evidence of be-
ing man of superior education. which,
with the discriminating memoranda and
| the chalk marks at the station, sealed
| his doom.
A German officer was arrested in the
| main street Of Ostend yesterday wear
| ing a Belgian officers uniform. He
| was nearly torn to pieces by the huge
| crowd before he got to the police sta
| ton.
The only route out of Antwerp af-
ter the bombardment began Wednes-
l-day was the River Scheldt. The peo-
| pie would not stay in the cellars Of
the houses, as advised by the author

GERMAN LOSS AT
ANTWERP is HEAVY

Paris.-The Germans lost 10000
men in the capture of Antwerp, &C.
cording to Paul Eric, special CORE.
spondent of the Journal, who writes:
The heroic Belgian defense of forts
Waelhem. Wavre and Lierre, forming
the outer ring cost the Germans very
dear. General Won Beseler threw com
pact masses of troops into the inter
walls, where the Belgians poured a
withering infantry fire on the assail
ants.
South of the third line Of defenses
German bodies are now piled in heaps.
This happened at the beginning of the
assault. South of Fort Bornheim the
Belgians inferred 5000 German
corpses.
When Won Beseler managed to
cross the Nethe and install 1615-inch
guns on the north banks, shells fell
in Antwerp like hailstones. Most OF
the remaining population then retired
to cellars with food, placing mat
tresses and sacks filled with earth
against the doors and window graf.
