ENGAGEMENTS IN THE WOEVRE
DISTRICT TAKE FORM OF
STEADY SIEGE.
TWO LINES OF TRENCHES
The German Trenches Are Construct
ed in TWO Lines, one Behind the
Other. the Outermost Being Fur
nished with Quick Firing Guns.

Paris, Oct. l0.-In contrast to the
lapldity with which the Germans
nave conducted the campaign against
Antwerp, the tide of battle is flowing
slowly III certain parts of France. The
engagements in the Woevre district
according to statements wounded SOL
dlers who have been brought back
from that territory continue to take
the form OF SLOW End steady siege
German trenches in Woevre dis
trlct have been constructed in two
lines, one behind the other. The out
elmost is furnished with quick firing
guns with outposts constantly on
guaEd. In the meantime the larger de
tachments shelter themselves in the
second line. These trenches are
large and mparatfvely comfortable
and at intervals they broaden out into
suhterranean rest rooms in which the
troops may sleep in comparative Sc
curity. The first line may be reached
from the second through underground
passages
The allies have just installed a sys,
TEN of drainage In their trenches,
which up to the present time has
been very very successful. Drainage
is a most necessary precaution as
many of the troops are suffering from
inflammatory rheumatism.

GERMAN INFANTRY
STORMED BREACH
IN FORT BERCHEM
MOVING LINER To
NEW. YORK HARBOR
-
GOVERNMENT MAY TRANSFER
GERMAN VESSEL FROM
BAR HARBOR.

Washington, Oct. 10.-In order to
escape inalry from ice during the
winter the German liner Kronprinzes-
sin Cecief probably will be removed
by the government to New York from
Bar Iiarbor, where she recently found
refuge from British cruisers. 1t has
been represented that the vessel can
make the cruise without going beyond
the territorial waters of the United
States, thus escaping the possibility
of seizure by British war vessels.
If this can be done the department
of state probably will advise the court
officer in charge of vessels, which
is under libel, 10 make the transfer
The state department is not yet ready
to commit itself however, to a recog-
milton of the right Of the British 20
seize the ship under her peculiar stat
us even if she is taken outside the g
mile limit Law officers of the#yari-
Gus departments involved stiiINare
wrestling with the legal question.

London Oct. 10.-Antwerp, 39lgi-
um's last and strongest citadel, ..,
fallen. The civilian population has
fled and the governments seat has
been moved to Ostend.
England has been expecting Ant
werp to fall.
Newspapers are speculating as to
What strategic use the Germans will
put it. 1t is said here that German
newspapers predict AntWerp's use as
a base for operations against Eng,
land How much damage was done
to Antwerp particularly to the histor-
ical edifices, it will take time to de-
termine. Some refugees say that No
tire Dame cathedral was badly dam
aged. Others deny that.
With Antwerp taken the Germans
now will be able to detach consider
able besieging force and transport it
the right win in France, which has
been sGsrely pressed.
1!he moral effect of Antwerp's fall
is not minimzed in England. Napo-
leon called the city a pistol pointing
at England's heart 1t is estimated
here that there are 100000 Germans
il Belgium today.

YARYAN CASE TO
Be HEARD MONDAY
GUED BEFORE THE U. S.
CIRCUIT COURT.

AS announced in The News several
days ago an important point in the
case of the Yaryan Naval Stores com
pany will come up in the United
States circuit court in Atlanta Mon
day. This high tribunal Is to hold
a session in Atlanta. The case is
not to be heard III the district court,
as many seem to think, but is to come
up in the higher court.
The question at issue is an appeal
from what is known as the Owens
faction from the decision of the dis
trict court in ordering the sale Of
the two plants of the company. At
torneys representing this faction al
lege that the district court of Geor-
gia had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter and consequently that the sale Of
the two plants was not legal
The appeal, of course, will be stub
boraly opposed by the attorneys of
the Bradley faction and upon the dc
clsion of the higher tribunal depends
to great extent the future of the
case. In the event the action of the
lower court is sustained then the sale
of the two plants will be confirmed
and the purchasers will become in
possession of the plants. If, however,
on the other hand. the circuit court
rules that Judge Shepard was with
out jurisdiction then such a decision
would mean that the court in Ohio
should handle the case and the sale
Will probably be void.
Among the Brunswick attorneys
who will attend the hearing in At
lanta are Max Isaac and Millard
Reese.

lied several weeks ago is making fine
headway under Scout Master Phil
Burgess, the youngsters showing in
tense enthusiasm for the work, and
they present trim appearance in
their natty uniforms.
The boys are rapidly developing
themselves In every department Of
scout work and are now busy build
ing trek wagon which will carry
supplies on the long hikes that are
planned for this winter. The value
of scout work lies not only in the OUT
door life, which develops the boys
physically, but the rules of the organ.
izaton are certain to have direct
influence upon the moral ana men
tai growth as well.
Lieut.. Burgess is not only their in
structor, but the confident and com
panion of every boy in the company,
the scout master being idolized by
the youngsters and the love of truth
and clean living, the thoughtfulness
for others, the high ideals and ambi-
ton being nodded in the miaHs Of
these boys is certain to bear fruit
in after life.
If every mother and father In the
city fully realized the value Of the
movement and what boy scout work
really means. Brunswick would have
o regiment of boy scouts instead Of
one company The history Of the or
ganization speaks for itself.
