INDIAN TROOPS SOON TO GO
ON BRITISH FIGHTING LINE

London, Oct. 23.-The press bureau
made public yesterday for the first
time, the speech Lord Crewe, Secretary
of State for India, delivered last Tues
day to the officers recently appointed
to the government service in India.
"The Indian forces,' the secretary
said, twill soon be taking their place
on the firing line beside their British
comrades. The enemy make it matter
of reproach that we are employing
Asiatic troops in Europe. To that am
prepared to reply in the words of the
famous sentence over the gateway of
the University of Aberdeen: They say.
What say they9 Let them say But l
will add this, it is not in our eyes a
matter of reproach, but matter of
pride, that our Indian fellow subjects
feel themselves identified with us in
the present quarrel, and fully expect
that the enemy may learn before the
war ends several not unneeded lessons
from the Indian troops-lessons in
chivalry, Humanity and respect for the
persons and homes of the poor and the
humble.''
The delay in sending the Indian
troops to the front is attributed to the
fact that the men and their horses re.
qu;re considerable time to become ac.
climated.

great execution on the German trenches

airmen cleverly directed the aim of the
marine guns, the German submarines
lying in wait attacked the monitors but
without result because the latter were
so far in shore.
Frontal Attacks of Germans

has been defeated and the Germans
again have been forced to frontal at.

The gains made by the allies on the
road to Metz, it is thought, must draw
the attention of the Germans to quar-.
ter where they are menaced not only
from the direction of Ferdun but by the
renewed successes of the French on
the eastern slope of the Vosges.

Filling Gaps in French Army =,
The French continue their prepara.
tions with prospective recruits to fill
the gaps in the army. Baron Pierre De
Coubertin, president of the French

announced. has been charged by the
! government to care for the physical
! training of young men from 10 to l .
with view to their entry into the
/ service.
The military authorities are more and
more watchful of stragglers. Every
man arriving at the Paris terminals of
age to bear arms is required to show
papers on arrival and if they are not
| in order, arrests are made. Some of
the soldiers not in the habit of being
! feted as have been the men returning
| from the front. succumbed to tempta-
tion and overstayed their permissions.
These stragglers included turcos and
zouaves. Now even soldiers in uniform
are required to produce a permit or
failing in this they are ordered to fall
in by the patrols.

FIERCE BATTLE
TO OBTAIN PORTS
Germans Hurrying Forward Fresh
Troops and Heavy Guns to Reply
to the Damaging Fire From the
Ships of the Allies

London, Oct 23. 1920 4. M.-Nes-
sells from the French navy, having
crept around the coast. were to-day
standing by the British monitors which
are hurting shells landward between
Ostend and Nieuport, on the Belgian
coast, in continuation of the fierce bat
tie between Germany and the allies for
the possession of the North sea and
channel ports.
For the first time since the war be-
gan air craft and warships are aiding
simultaneously IN the movements of
land forces; thus the struggle is being
waged in the air, on the sea and on
the land at the same time.
The Germans are hurrying forward
fresh troops and heavy guns, the latter
from the ships and although they have
been pushed back at certain points, thev
appear to be holding their line between
the sea and La Basse, without, how
ever, making noteworthy progress.
A Terrible Artillery Duel
The fight, Sc Ear as Belgium is con
cerned, has now resolved itself into a
terrific artillery duel, in which it is
claimed that the allies by reason of
their long range guns have had the
advantage. The muddy roads and the
network of canals doubtless have hin
dered the invaders in getting their
guns of equal or greater range into
position. When they do accomplish
this the situation will be even more
acute. 1t is said that up to the pres
ent time the British naval losses have
been negligible, although both sides
must have suffered heavily ON land
The Germans claim to have put a Brit.
ish torpedo boat ont of action.
King Albert at the Front
Albert, King D. the Belgians, who
since his retirement from Ostend has
been reported at various points in
northern France, appears to be actually
at the scene of fighting. This informa-
tion is on the authority of the British
Admiralty Dispatches say that the
Queen also is with the Belgian army
but this must he classed as rumor
much the same as the report-that Gen.
eTal Won Moltke, chief of the German
general staff, is i'll or the statement
that Emperor William again has moved
his headquarters. The report that
General Won Moltke's son has been
killed also is revivei and it will be
remembered that only recently it was
rumored that General Won Moltke had
been removed Ms chief of the general
staff.

left Bruges and are still in force in the
neigh borhood of Ostend. What with
drawal of troops there has been TOWARD
Bruges, this correspondent adds, is only
a precautionary measure. A message
from Havre says the Belgians have re

gained the right bank Of the river or
if preferred, the canal, User, and this
is the first information that they were
fighting. All of the statements given
out by the allies have insisted that
they We're valiantly resisting the Ger
man assaults. The use of the word
"regained,' however, would seem to
indicate that the Germans at times
have made advances. The dykes of this
waterway have now been cut making
the situation for the Germans more
difficult
German Press Says Persecution
The German press is branding the
roundup of alien enemies in the British
Isles as fanatical persecution, and in
late dispatches from Berlin there have
appeared allegations concerning atroci-
ties committed by French soldiers, al
though later dispatches say none of
these has been substantiated. The Lon
