London, October 12.-G:00 D. m)-Not- withstanding the reassuring statement is- sued by the home office last Thursday to the effect that the spy system estab, lished by Germany in this country has been broken up, Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, retired, is convinced it still exists, and constitutes a grave menace to the safety of the country.

The War at a Glance

The occupation of Antwerp by the Germans has been followed, according to the latest reports, by the occupation of Ghent, which would seem to confirm the German plan, as it nlready has been
 outlined, of a movement toward the coast, with Ostend as its objective. It is pointed out by British military experts that it is Germany's intention to
 make a permanent stronghold of Ant werp, in order to hold Belgium in her grip and in this way gain a position within easy reach of the English coast. The fighting along the great line, ex- tending almost from the North sea to the German province of Lorraine, continues with indefinite results, for the actual op era tions in the northern section of France are not divulged to any extent in the official statement issued by the French war department. Where the British re- it. nforcements have been sent is a matter
 of conjecture, but it is believed a con siderable force is already in the neigh
 borhood of Ostend.
 German submarines have again come into prominence by the sinking of the Russian armored cruiser Pallada in the Baltic sea. The Palada, with the Adm. . ral Makarov and the Bayan have been engaged in patrolling the Baltic. The German submarines made an attempt against the Admiral Makarov on October 10. without success, but on the following day one of them succeeded in torpedoing the Paldada. which sank almost imme- diately, according to the Russian official report with all her crew, consisting of nearly GOO officers and men.
 Recruiting in England is again being actively pusted, for the need of men $ recognized and the requirements for service in the infantry have been lowered
 to insure a large supply of recruits. Similarly Great Britain is taking precau- tions against raids over English towns by German airships, this action probably
 resulting from the recent attacks on Paris by aeroplanes.
 Just what measures the British govern-
 rent has devised to repulse such attacks
 have not been divulged, but it is under stood the aviation corps is ready to take the air at the first sign of German air cruisers
 Berlin officially reports the situation in France is satisfactory so far as her army is concerned. and other official reports indicate that the German and Austrian armies have made impressive progress in the Russian campaign. Russia is reported to have abandoned the siege of Prezmysl the important Austrian fortress in Cali cia. and is lining up to meet a threat ened attack by the Austro- German army | Marquis Iii Sapguilano, the Italian minister for foreign affairs is reported l to be dying. Should his death occur it | Is possible it may have an important 1 effect on the attitude of Italy.

BIRMINGHAM'S NEW CITY

Soon after the chrysanthemums are set in the open ground they will grow rapidly. As soon as the shoots at tain a height of nine or 10 inches, they should be ''pinched back as it is called that is. with the finger and thumb pinch out an inch or so of the center of the shoot that at once stops the upward spindling growth and causes the shoots to branch out from below If fine, bushy plants are de- s;I ed this ''pinching back" must be done every two or three weeks up to the middle of August, but not later; the plants will then have attained a growth of F or feet in width and height. Although when the pots or boxes have been sunk to the level of the surface they are not likely to require much water. yet, in long continued dry spells, it will be necessary to give them a good soaking once a week, but that

 By october, the plants if treated as already directed, will have attained a height and width of two or three feet, having from 15 to 30 shoots on each plant:
 Disbudding
 On each shoot will be found about October 1, cluster of flower buds. If the finest are desired, all the buds except on the strongest should be rubbed of.
 Should the grower get cutting in February, however, and grow it along to single stem or to three stems crown buds would appear.
 By the middle of October they should be placed under cover or in green house, where the temperature ranges from 50 to 70 degrees, and for five or six weeks you will be repaid for your labor by the gorgeous blooms suitable for exhibition purposes Treated in this way, many kinds give flowers eight inches in diameter

TRENCH DUTY
 IS ORGANIZED


 Trench duty in the siege operations is now thoroughly organized. The dig ging continues and the trenches of the oprosing amies approach to within 100 yards of each other at some places. The men in these ditches especially along the line from Rheims to the Mouse. have been inactive often during the past few days and voices often call upon each other to come out and fight Some of the men have become very daring, life in the burrows with the occasional turn at rifle firing being so monotonous that they go out in search of adventure. One party of three All gerians left their shelter and proceeded to a house which was still standing near the lines. There they found seven Germans. The men fraternized and to- gether searched the cellar. After re- galing themselves on wine, the A1ge- rians. who had brought rifles, ordered the Germans to fall in and took them prisoners.
 Just behind the allies firing line the grape harvest is proceeding as though nothing unusual were occurring. The crop promises to be very good.
 A chauffeur belonging to the British ordnance corps was promoted today for saving five motor trucks forming part of an ammunition convoy The Ger mans had cut the convoy off from the supply column. After dispersing the contents of the trucks over the fields all the men of the convoy, with the exception of the chauffeur. fled The chauffeur hid in the woods beside the road and when the Germans retired he returned to the trucks He found the wheels of the machines intact and one motor in good order. Hitching the trucks together. he brought them safely into camp alone.

 The official communication from Paris indicated that this left wing is stretching daily and nightly further west and north and will soon reach the coast If the op- posing sides continue throwing out cav airy in an endeavor to outflank or break through.
 The allies make no claim to victory in the afternoon statement which opens with the remark that these cavalry operations continue as far north and vest as Haze brouck, point hardly more than days walk from Calais.
 Germans Make Progress When the allies claimed yesterday they had driven the Germans from Are, Lon don learned for the first time that the Germans had made substantial progress west from Armentieres, which they reached last week. Presumably the allies still hold the ground they claim to have itSdiltu, Out lHt NJtfD1dnS are tnrOWlQg more men westward and are putting up a hard fight. The communication does not make plain which side holds the town nearest the coast.
 No where along the battle line do the allies say they have made any progress except in the center, on the right bank of the Aisne below Soissons At two other points, notably between Arras and the Disc, and on the right, in Vosges, 1t is said, the German attacks have been | repulsed. paragraph near the end of the official communication saying 1t is understood that the Germans are occupy ing only the suburbs of Antwerp, while the 24 forts along the Scheldt (Escaut) still are holding out, has been received in Lon don with considerable surprise and skep- ticism, In view of the announcement of the British war office that the city was occupied by the Germans and the Berlin official statement that the invaders took virtually complete possession of the city
 Probably stirred by the oomb dropping exploits of German aircraft over Paris, London seems to be prepared for such visitors, and official notice has been served on persons living near the mouth of the Thames that they should be ready to seek their cellars at the first sound of firing as there will be no time to spread the news in any more formal way.
 Recruiting throughout Great Britain. particualrly in London, has been booming. it Is said, since the fall of Antwerp. the talk of the Germans advancing from there to Ostend having seemingly brought the war closer home in the minds of the peo- pie.
