GERMANS WITHIN 10
M|LES0F 0STEND
CITY SURE To
FALL
(By Associated Press.)


LONDON, Oct. 16-The German army
is reported to be within 10 miles of
Ostend, according to the latest news
from there received here this morning.
1t is expected that the city will be in
full possession of the Germans within
twelve hours.
1t is rumored on the streets here
that the Belgian city has already been
occupied by the Germans and that the
military authorities here are withhold
ing the news from the London public.
Ostend is a famous watering place
of Europe and was for a short time,
following the siege at Antwerp, the
capital of Belgium. The capital was
moved to Havre, France, when the
Germans announced an intention of
taking the new Belgium capital. The
possession of Ostend gives the invad-
ing force from the Vaterland complete
control of the little kingdom, which
was forced into the war by the German
kaiser when he disrcgarded her neu-
trality and ammo l1lc I'd that he consid-
cred the peace treaties of The Hague

TWO HUNDRED MEMBERS
DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE CHEER
CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR CITY
Young Mems Democratic League Held an Enthusiastic
Meeting at The Armory Last Night Speeches Ad-
vocating Council For Mayor Loudly Applauded

The meeting of the Young Mems
Democratic League at the Armory last
night resulted in a most enthusiastic
demonstration in the interest of Mr..
Lee G. Council, whose candidacy for
mayor is advocated by the league. In
point of attendance, as well as in the
deep concern and interest demonstrate
ed, it was the largest meeting of such
nature held in Americas in a long
while and was gratifying to Mr.. Coun-
Gil and his many friends and support
ers.
In the tenor o. the several speeches
delivered was expressed a firm deter
mination to carry the issue to a sue
cessful conclusion at the polls next
Thursday. There was not a word Of
criticism of others, but only a hearty
and whole-souled endorsement of the
man whom the league has declared
best fitted for the position of chief ex-
ecutive.
Mr.. Thomas Marshall presided as
chairman, with Mr.. Homer V. Daniel,
secretary of the league, acting in that
capacity.
Mr.. E. A. Nisbet was presented as
the first speaker, and paid fitting and
eloquent tribute to Mr.. Council as the
RAN of the hour, whose services were
most needed now in directing the af-
fairs of the municipality Mr.. Council,
he well said, was a very busy man, but
1t was just that kind of man-the
busy man-who made a success OF
whatever he undertook to do, always
doing it we'll.
Mr.. Nisbet was followed by Messrs.
T. G. Hudson, G. R. Ellis, J. A. Fort, /.
], Kalmon, H. 0. Jones, George w. Ri
ley, F. W. Griffin and Henry Lanier, all
of them paying merited tribute to Mr.
Council as a thorough and capable
business man, man of integrity and
perseverance, and one who would ad-
minister the affair of the city with that
same painstaking care that he gave to
his own business affairs.
Mr.. Council responded to the enthus-
iastic call of the large and represent
ative assemblage, and in a brief ad-
dress of characteristic modesty again
pledged his best work in behalf of
Americus, the city of his nativity ami
in the progress and welfare of which
he had ever exerted his best efforts,
and would so continue to do. His can
didacy, he said, was not of his seeking
but if elected he would do his full
duty.
The league was highly gratifed at
the pronounced success of the meeting,
and the degree of enthusiasm manifest
ed, and is working on with renewed
vigor and determination to do it's part
in giving to Americus an able, capable
and fearless chief executive.
