 Despite a, rough voyage, all the. members of the American party are in excellent physical condition and en- thusiastic. They have been received at the principal stations along the route by delegations of physicians some accompanied by bands. At Rau- mo, Finland, on the way from Stock holm, the Americans were greeted by all doctors in the city, who gave them an impressive welcome.
 At Petrograd they were escorted to the emeperor's waiting room where they were welcomed by Count Bobrin- sky, chief of the Russian Red Cross, as the only foreign Red Cross corps sent to Russian.
 Russian officials attach importance to the American expedition as likely to add to the cordial relations between the two countries. The American sur geons probably will be equipped with Russian uniforms so that they can es- cape being made the target of un-. thinking soldiers.

NOTABLE ADVANCE OF ALLIES
 IN CENTER OF LINE.
German Regirnentai Flag Taken in .
 Bayonet Charge.

From the Battle Front, via Paris, Oct. Ii. 1i.56 p. m.-A notable ad- vance by the allies occurred today in the neighborhood of the center of the battle line, where they stormed and captured an important German posi- ton. Near Lassigny also the fighting was very severe. The allies and Ger mans came to close quarters and a German regimental flag was taken in a bayonet charge. Lassigny forms an angle of the allies line, which from there turns almost directly north.
 The Germans are holding their ground tenaciously al this place, where they have considerable number of big guns in strong positions in the uuarries.,
 The allied cavalry during the heavy mist carried out a. daring raid, in the course of which they cut off a German supply convoy proceeding to Rove. They captured $50 Germans who con stituted the escort. as well as several quick frers and a large amount of ammunition.
 The French aviators who are per- forming brilliant work along the front, indicated the approach ofsthe Germans who when attacked offered a long and fierce resistance, but eventually were obliged to surrender.

HOW TAKING OF ANTWERP
 IMPRESSED BERLIN
Considered Without Parallel in War
 History.

Berlin, via London, Oct. 1.-The taking of Antwerp has made the deep est of impressions here because it was considered one of the strongest forti- fications in Europe. For the first dime in several weeks, Bags are flying on public edifices and other buildings.
 That one of the most modern fort resses should be taken in eleven days is considered without parallel in war history, especially since it was not necessary to invest Antwerp. Military experts assert that the experience at this city marks a, new era in military operations as related to fortified posi- tions. The general impression has been. heightened because of the eff forts of the English to relieve the city with troops and heavy marine artil- lery, and the assertions of the French press that Antwerp was irreducible, which was the prevailing belief even in Germany. It is generally believed that the fate of Antwerp will have an invaluable moral effect.
 It is known here that the German heavy artillery which was used in the bombardment of Antwerp has already been started off for an unknown des- tination in France.

AUTOS AS pEMORALIZING
 AS ALCOHOL TO STUDENTS
Statement Made by President Faunce
 of Brown University.

Providence, R. l., Oct 11-"In the last ten years probably many students in American colleges have been de-. moralized by the automobile as by al- cohol," President W. H. P. Faunce of Brown university asserted today in a sermon which was the opening feature of week to be devoted to the cele- bration of the 15Oth anniversary of the founding of Brown.
 "It is serious matter that the coI- leges which started amid national penury have come into an era of ever expanding national wealth. he added. Certainly the institutions that were once tested by poverty are now being tested by a luxurious civilization around them"
 Referring to the European war, Dr. Faunce condemned the perverted philosophy of force," the arrogant militarism of Europe" and the the ories that would base all national greatness on dreadnoughts and bat talions."

MILITARY CONSEQUENCES
 OF FALL OF ANTWERP
Proves the FutiIity of Permanent
 Notifications.

Paris, Oct. Ii. 6.35 a. m.-The mili- tary consequences of the fall of Ant werp are not so great as the lesson to be learned therefrom of the futihty of permanent Notifications. This opin- ion is expressed by Lieutenant Colonel Rousset, who says that it will be necessary to abandon entirely this sort of defense and replace it with rude works Of easy and quick construction which can be placed anywhere accord ing to the need of the hour.
 Then, he says. shells, because of the absence of resistance, would cause only small damage. Never, he declares, has a country been saved by it's fortif1ca- tions, while there are those whose Actresses have been their ruin
 Colonel Rousset continues:
 "To speak only of that which con- cerns us. it is permissible to affiarm that if Metz had been in 1870 an open city, Bazaine would not have sent forth from there his magnificent army, for the subsequent loss of which he was condemned to death and did actu- ally suffer imprisonment.
 Belgium believed itself protected by its triple barrier at Liege, Nanlur and Antwerp. Alas! it was not. No more are we with Manheuege or Austrians with Lemberg and Przemysl. The real safeguard of nation is an effective military force that can stay an army of invasion"
 The observations of Rousset, which are published today, have created spe- cial interest in view of the possibility of heavy siege operations later in the campaign.
