Paris, Oct. 1.-TWO German avia-

20 wounded. Considerable property
was destroyed.
London, Oct 1.-THE Germans,
cheated of their chance of cutting on
the retreating Belgian and British
army of defense in its fight from Ant
werp by the severe check administered
in the surprise attack by Franco-Brlt-
ish forces at Quatrecht, near Ter
monde, are now advancing rapidly on
Ostend in the hope of capturing King
Albert and the entire Belgian govern
ment.
The Belgian field army, assisted
valientIy by large attachments OF Brit
ish cavalry and infantry and the Brit
ish naval brigade which eluded the
German fanking movement near Sci
zaete, has made good its orderly re-
treat and the main body has succeeded
in reaching Ostend safely and intact.
1t is now in a position to effect q
consolidation with the allies. As soon
as this juncture is fact the Belgians,
the British and the French will form
a new battle line to the south and
east of Ostend for the defense of the
new Belgian temporary capital and re-
sumo the offensive operations against
the German lines in Belgium.

Refugees from Bruges and Eecloo,

ANTWERP CAPTURED
BY GERMANS AFTER
Il DAYS SMELLING
King and Most of Army Retreat
to 0Stend.
BRITISH AIDED DEFENDERS
Three English Naval Brigades Helped
BeIgians in Defense of City
Teutons Are Now in Former
Capital.

London, Oct. 12.-Antwerp and the
forts surrounding the city are now IN
complete possession of the Germans,
but the greater part of the Belgian
army has escaped.
1t took the Germans just IL days to
capture one of the strongest fortresses
in the world.
An official admission that the Brit
ish participated in the defense OF Ant
werp is contained in an admiralty an
nouncement that three naval brigades
with heavy guns had been sent there
during the last week of the German at
tack
Reach Ostend in Safety.
The announcement adds that in the
retreat from Antwerp two of the Brit
ish brigades reached Ostend safely.
The other, however, was cut off to the
north of Lokeren Ca town of East
Flanders, IL miles northeast of Ghent),
and 1000 of the men were informed in
Holland.
The retreat of the Belgian army was
accomplished successfully.
The losses of the British naval brl-
gades probably will be less than three
hundred out of total Of 5000 men.
The fall of Antwerp is evidence that
even the most powerful forts are no
match for the clossal hOwitzers which
the invaders have successfully en-
ployed against every fortified place
that stood in their way. These huge
guns open gaps through which the be-
siegers find an entrance for their field
artillery and infantry.
Enter Through Berchem.
The Germans, after Smelling the city
itself for many hours, making it I'M
tenable, entered the town through the
suburb of Berchem, to the east. They
had made a breach in the outer line OF
forts, some of which were destroyed
by the big guns and others blown up
by the defenders.
The Germans followed similar plans
in dealing with the inner belt of forts
and at the same time threw shells into

in which mines and submarines Win
play an important part.
These dispatches state that the
headquarters of the German general
staff officially announces the capture
of Antwerp, and add that they cannot
estimate the number OF prisoners
taken.
I'VE took enormous quantities OF
supplies of all kinds says the official
German statement.
Germans Suffer Big Losses
The losses sustained by the Ger
mans in the battle near Termonde,
where they were forced to cross the
Scheldt under heavy fire, were enor-
nous. This is probably the first in
stance since the beginning of the war
in which a surprise attack has been
carried to successful conclusion.
The presence of the French and Brit
ish allies in great force in this vicin-
ity has been successfully hidden even
from the scouting aviators.
The Germans are striving desper-
ately to gain control of all the rail-
road lines in northern and western
Belgium to block the onward march of
the French into Belgium. Meanwhile
the allies are striking at the railroads
now held by the kaiser with equal de-
termination. The rapid transfer of
the force of allies to Termonde shows
the surprising development of the
French system of transport.
To Force War on Holland.
1t is reported here that Germany is
preparing to force it's war demands
against Holland, and 1t will lay claim
to the mouth of the Scheldt on the
ground that it is necessary as an
emergency war measure against Great
Britain. The Scheldt, which makes
Antwerp one of the greatest ports in
the world, is a neutral waterway be-
cause of the fact that it flows through
Holland to the North sea.
Holland has an army of $780, 900 men
on the active list with reserve force
of 100000 which 1t can call upon to
enforce it's demand that it's neutrality
D0 I0Sp0CL0Q. OllIlZdIlOH VI lilo
Scheldt for war purposes may draw
Holland into the conflict, although one
Dutch politician is quoted as saying
that Holland does not believe it is her
duty as a neutral to close the passage
of the Scheldt and that no obligation
rests on Holland to stop the passing
of ships between the North sea and
the port of Antwerp.
Refugees to Number Million.
Realizing that Dutch hospitality is
being infringed upon by the immense
number of refugees who have flooded
the southwestern sections, to the
great embarrassment of the people
and the government, Baron Won Schus-
ter, the governor of Antwerp, advised
all the Antwerp refugees to resume
their homes at once.
Despite the alarming condition
which exists in Holland owing to the
lack of railroad facilities for the
transportation of the fugitives, the
Dutch government has even gone to
the extent of communicating automo-

the city which set afre many places
The inner forts, like those farther out
soon succumbed to the enormous
shells, and on Friday morning several
of these forts had fallen, opening tho
way for the Germans into the city. By
midday they were in occupation Of the
town and at 2:30 in the afternoon the
war bannC. on the cathedral was re-
placed by a white flag, indicating sur
render.
Belgian Army Fees.
A few forts continued to hold out.
and it was not until IL o'clock in the
morning that the Germans, according
to their own official report, were in
complete possession of the city and
fortresses. When they arrived they
found that the Belgian field army and
at least part of the garrison had antici-
pated them, and, like the king and
royal family, had escaped.
The death roll resulting from the at
tack on and defense of Antwerp has
not been compiled, and probably the
full details never will be known; but
all accounts describe it as terribly
heavy. The Germans, although their
big guns cleared a path for them, had
to sacrifice many lives in crossing the
rivers and canals and in driving cut
the defenders, who held the intrench-
ments to the last.
The stubbornness of the BelgianS
and of those who went to their assist
ance cost them dearly also, so that
both sides will have long casualty
lists. There is no reliable information
as to the loss of life in the city and the
damage there.
Refugees Reach London.
Crowds of refugees arrived in Lon>
don. Most of them left Antwerp Thurs
day night, and their accounts OF the
attack are confused. The Belgians
themselves, besides destroying the
forts, blew up steamers at the docks
and set fire to the petrol stores and
everything that could be Of use to the
invaders. They also took away what
the transports could carry.
Berchem, where the military and
other hospitals, the orphanage and
some public buildings are situated, is
reported to be entirely destroyed.
Even if this is an exaggeration, it must
be badly damaged, as it was burning
at least two days.
Cathedral Slightly Damaged.
The Antwerp railway stations also
made marks for the shells from the
big buns, but according to some of
those who remained in the city the
cathedral, although hit by shells, is
only slightly damaged.

biles in which to convey the refugees
northward.
Dispatches from Rozendaal say that
the refugees continue to arrive there
on their way to Holland and that
their number may now be estimated
close to million.
Paris, Oct luxurious infantry at
tacks and counter-attacks on both
wings of the allied front were record
ed in official dispatches from the front.
In the fighting between Arras and the
Disc river several desperate attempts
were made by French lines, but with
no success.
On the other hand, the French sue
ceeded in capturing battle standard
in a fiercely contested infantry en-
gagement near Lassigny, which was
marked by spirited hand-to-hand en-
counters in which the losses on both
sides were enormous. The Germans
made a sortie in force on the right
bank of the Aisne river, but the de-
temined resistance of the French line
of defenses halted their progress and
they were hurled back, hundreds OF
dead and wounded being left on the
field
Agreement Attack Center.
To the east of st. Mihiel, in the
region of Apremont, in the Woevre
district, the Germans directed a Sc
ries of violent attacks night and day
against the French positions, and
Apremont was taken and retaken
twice during IS hours or fighting.
Apremont now is held by the French,
an appreciate success because the
Germans here had recorded their first
success in their attempts to pierce
the French line.
The war Office sums up the situa-
ton, which it says continues favor
able for the allies, by declaring that
the British and French have held their
positions everywhere among the line.

 He was of a very retiring disposi- ton. evidently being entirely engrossed In his surroundings. He gazed afar un- til the next landing was fin sight whom he arose, and took from the folds of his blouse a large telescope, and pro- ceeded to sweep the horizon.

STEADY CLOSE IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
Adverse Crop Indications In Europe Counterbalance
 Effect of Harvest

Chicago, Mayes9.-Adverse crop condi- tions in Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea more than ounterbalanced today the effect of the great wheat har- vest which is looked for in the United States The market closed steady at gain of a shade to isdl4c net. Corn fin- ished ismAc off to lsc up, oats unchanged to sixteenth lower, and provisions yirtu- ally the same as last night.
 Bulls had the advantage in wheat from the start until the last tap of the bell. Buying on the part of houses with ex- port connections was considerably more in evidence throughout than transac- tions in new crop shipments to arrive. There was good authority for statements that the foreign business here reached big total notwithstanding that only 2oo,- eco bushels was specifically confirmed.
 In addition to the fact that all Euro pean quotations were higher and that sharp competition was in progress for cargoes, the bull side pointed to rapidly decreasing stocks northwest and south west alike. St Lotus sent word that the store there was the scantest ever known at this time of year. There were also few scattering reports of deterio- ration in small area in the Missouri Illinois boundary, but elsewhere the re- ports indicated yield described by one expert as equal to all that the soil can produce.
 Although Argentine storms made corn advance a little the market afterward weakened Country offerings nere in- creased, and larger receipts are expect ed soon. Planting in Illinois is expected to be complete by the end of the next week. Trading in oats was mainly local and the price almost at a dead center. Provisions ruled barely steady. Shorts were about the only buyers.

A Hindoo Poets ideal Woman

Rabindranath Tagore, to whom was awarded the Nobel prize for noteworthy literature last year, Is Bengali poet, philosopher and mystic whose name is a household word among lndias 150000, 900, and of whom Europe and America are just being made aware, says the Detroit Free Press Several of his books have been translated into English (by himself). To "Sadhana,' or The Realization of Life" "Gitengali'' and The Gardener has now been added "Chira, drama founded upon an old tale taken from the Mohabharata, a Hindu epic of great age.
 'sChitra'' was written 25 years ago and is remarkable for it's beauty. it's simplic- ity and it's comprehension of the true meaning and essence of love and the com pansionship of marriage, feeling seldom evinced in Oriental poetry, which is usual ly more on the sensuous order.
 "Chitra" is an allegory, Illustrative of the evolution of woman and disclosing the secret of her permanent hold upon man, her companion and mate. The Prin- cess Chitra is the only child of the King of Manipure, and is brought up like a boy. She Is not. beautiful. and is inno- cent of womanly arts, being strong and sturdy-mate for the man primitive. Sex knowledge is not awakened until she meets Arjuna, warrior-hermit who is
 
 fashion, she proposes marriage. Arjuna pleads his COW, rejecting her and she appeals to the gods to grant her beauty. that she may win him. The gods are gracious; she is promised beauty for a year, and wins Arjuna thereby. But she is self -scornful of the means she has employed declaring her body has be- come her rival. ''It is my hateful task to deck her every day and send her to my beloved and see her ceased by him. Oh, god. take back the boon!'
 Arjuna also is dissatisfied. He tires of mere physical charm, the lure of the senses.
 My heart is unsatisfied, my mind finds no peace . Give rae something that can last longer than pleasure, that can endure through suffering"
 Then the princess discloses herself: ] 1T am Chitra. No Aoddess to be wor- shiped, nor the object of pity to be brushed aside with indifference. If you deign to keep me by You side in the path of danger and daring, If you allow me I to share the great duties of your life, l then you will know my true self Her gift to him is ''the heart of a wom- an': "Chitra, the daughter of 8 King.
 Thus she wins and holds her lover, by l proving herself the woman companion for whom he longs.
 l That such a flower of truth and poesy should come out of India, whore for cen turies woman has been the handmaid- eu or the toy. Is remarkable. It Is even more remarkable that 20 years ago this Bengalf poet should have expressed SC clearly the aspiration of the best type of the woman of today.

Troublesome Gifts

Wedding gifts are sometimes as trouble some to their recipients as they are to their senders. Which IS too bad, for as lorg as they must be troublesome to the senders, it is too bad there should be trouble in receiving them. says the New York Times. But one bride once received several percolators, each from some one she felt sure would bs offended if she tried to change the gift Yet these per colators were all the result of much troublesome thought on the part of the senders.
 To begin with, choose the gift you are sending the bride with some understa nd- ing of her taste and life. In the next place, if you send her something that may be duplicated, send her also note begging her to change it If she desires to. Tell her you have no sentiment in the
 mGtter-whatever she chooses will please you.
 If the bride is going to move to q distance. send her something, if possible.
 that Will pack and travel easily. If she
 IS 70 marry poor man, don't send her A piece of priceless bric-a-bac that will bc
 burden in house as simply run as
 hers will be- If you know that she anl
 her husband never eat pie, don't nend
 them a silver pie knife These are onIv typical bits of advice that may be special ized in the imagination to suit the ehoos-
 ing of almost every gift
 Electric devices of various sorts are ac-
 ccptable to most brides. Old pieces of silver or brass or copper can always be accommodated. Some personal gift to the
 bride. in the form of jewelry, really beautiful handbag or umbrella or a pair of slipper buckles, is always in good taste Books, too. if you know they are books that the two recipients like. are a good choice.
 Pictures are not good, for it is very iif- ftcult to choose pictures for somebody's else's house. Furniture. too, must be chosen carefully, with . full knowledge of the brides house and taste.
