communiQue issued at Paris there
is a lively engagement in the region
of Roye, where the French have
taken 1900 prisoners. There was
also a report of a severe engage
ment between cavalry near Lille.
The main battle continues, the com
munique says, along a line bounded
by the regions of Lens, Arras, Bray
sur-Somme, Chaulnes, Roye, and
Lassigny. Minor engagements only
are reported in the centre from
the Disc to the Meuse. An artillery
struggle is reported along the
whole line in the Woevre region.
GERMANY.-An official communica-
ton issued by the German General
Staff says that from the western
scene of war no facts of decisive
importance can be mentioned and
that small progress has been made
near st. Mihiel and in the Argon-
ne. Before Antwerp the operations
have been successful. The airship
Hall, at Dusseldorf, was hit by a
bomb and the cover of an airship
was demolished. In the east the

In eastern Prussia, the Germans,

to protect railway communications.
A despatch from Petrograd says
the Russians took 10000 prisoners
and forty cannon in recent battles
along the eastern Prussian frontier.

100000 men are kept in tue field in
readiness. The government will soon
ask for another $20,OO0,000, as an
extra war credit and this is likely to
be voted without a protest.
1t is reported that the German Gov
ernor of Antwerp has demanded from
Burgomaster Devos that the city pay
levy of $100,O0O,00O as indemnity.
Six bombs, thrown from German
aeropianes, landed in Paris, but did no
damage. One Of the flyers attempted
to blow up two crowded railroad
trains that were pulling out of the
Northern Railroad station, but the
missiles failed to explode. This at

A Naples dispatch says that twenty
Italian transports escorted by naval
fleet, sailed to bring back the Italian
troops now in Tripoi and Cyrenaica.
Their place will be taken by volun-
teer corps just formed in Italy. Al
though the return of troops from Ly-

Won KLUcK MANEoUVERINe.

London.-With Antwerp taken and
the danger of rear attacks by a pow
erful Belgian army removed, the
German forces in Belgium and north,
ern France turned their attention to
the task of cutting the Allies line
of communication between Paris and
Dunkirk and Ostend, thus preventing
reinforcements being rushed to the
latter city by land and facilitating its
capture, along with King Albert and
the rest of the Belgian army.
In pursuance of this plan, Gen. Won
cavalry against the Allies extreme
left near Hazebrouck, a city some 20
miles northwest of Lille and only a
score of miles from Dunkirk. The
Anglo-French troops met the repeated
attacks eagerly, however, and the Ger
man horsemen were unable to gain
ground.
The battle line is now at least 300
miles long, but the center of interest
is at the northern end near Ostend,
intended as base for an attack upon
England itself. British transports are
rushing troops across the Channel to
reinforce the Belgians and British al
ready in Belgium.
Sixteen hundred Belgian soldiers,
non-commissioned officers and men
arrived at The Hague A dispatch
from Hulst, Holland, quotes a Belgian
officer as saying that the total num-
ber of soldiers who have crossed from
Belgium into Holland is about 26,0O0.
The fall of Antwerp places Holland
squarely between the m'llstones of
British and German interests. For
Antwerp to be of any use to Germany
as a base for naval or aerial opera
tions against England the Kaiser
must control the mouth of the
Seheldt, which is altogether in Dutch
hands. If the Dutch Government con
sents to such proposition, it will
offend the Allies and if it turns down
the Germans it is likely to share the
fate of Belgium.
The special war credit of 10000
00G which was voted when hostilities
broke out for the purpose of main
tanning Hollands neutrality by plac-
ing the army and the nations de-
fenses on a war footing is already
exhausted. The army costs from ST.

Russians Win y
Advantage in
VistuIa Battle

London.-The Ministry Of War in
Petrograd announces that Russia has
conquered and occupied $4,000 square
miles of Austrian territory, while
successfully pushing vast offensive
operations against the German
provinces of East Prussia, Posen and
Silesia.
The center of interest now is in
! southwestern Poland, in the province
Of Radon, where the Germans, hav-
ing formed a junction with Austrian
forces, are obstinately opposing the
advance of the Russians toward Bres-
lau and Cracow. The battle is in the
initial stage, with slight advantages
gained by the Russians.
The course of the River Kistula
outlines the battle front. On the
west side, Gen. Won Hindenburg COM
manding an estimated force of 100000
Germans and Austrians, is obstinate
ly contesting the progress of prob
ably 100000 Russians commanded
by the Grand Duke Nicholas. Toward
the southwest, east of the River
Dunajec in Galicia, the Russians are
attacking German and Austrian out
posts.
Northward of this principal theatre
of operations Gen. Rennenkampf,
with accessiOns of fresh troops and
artillery, is following up his success
at Augustowa and along the River
Niemen Russian troops have pene-
trated into East Prussia in some
places, but for the most part the
Russians are content to hold the Ger
mans on the defensive along the
whole East Prussia frontier. 1t is
confirmed that the Russians are de-
veloping strong offensive in the
Mazur Lakes region in East Prussia.
Official reports from Germany de-
clare the story of the advance of the
Russian forces across the Niemen
River in the Government of Suwalk
is a lie, and say in the battle near
Augustowo the Germans completely
defeated two Russian army corps,
took $500 unwounded prisoners and
twenty guns. and a number of ma
chine guns.

Petrograd-An official communica
tion issued announces that the Rus
sian armored cruiser Pallada was tor.
pedoed in the Baltic Sea by a Ger.
man submarine and sank with all her
crew.
The text of the communication,
which was made public by the Marine
Department, follows:
"On Oct. 10 German submarines
were sighted in the Baltic Sea. The
same day, early in the morning, the
submarines attacked the cruiser Ad-
miral Makaroff, which had stopped to
search a suspected bark flying the
commercial flag of the Netherlands.
"A submarine of the enemy launch
ed several torpedoes, which luckily
missed the mark and caused no dam
age whatsoever to the cruiser.
"On Oct. II, at 2 o'clock in TIE
afternoon, the submarines of the
enemy again attacked our cruisers
Bayan and Pallada, which were pa
trolling the Baltic.
Although the cruisers opened in
time very strong fire, one of the
submarines succeeded in launching
torpedoes against the Pallada, where
upon an explosion resulted and the
cruiser with all her crew sank"
So far during the present war, up
to and including the sinking of the
Pallada, which carried 568 officers
and men, the submarine on both sides
has accounted for a total of four
armored cruisers (three British, one
Russian), two small cruisers Zone on
each side). Most of the honors have
been with the Germans.

London.-Five thousand British ma
rines who aided in the defence o.
Antwerp have returned, and from
many of them it was learned thai
the commander Of one of the for
tresses was German spy.
1t is now known that treachery
aided German artillery in running the
defence of Antwerp. The command
ant in one fort was a German spy
and was shot by his men. German
spies blew up the magazine of Fort
Wavre-St. Catherine at a critical mo
ment in the fighting, cut off the wa
ter supply Of the city, sent news to
the German commanders of every
plan and movement and effectually
neutralized the resolution and valor
of Belgians and British.
The Germans lost 10000 men in
the capture of Antwerp, according
to Paul Erio special correspondent
of the Journal, who writes:
'The heroic Belgian defense OF
Forts Waelhem, Wavre and Lierre,
forming the outer ring, cost the Ger
mans very dear. General Won Beseler
threw compact masses of troops into
the intervals, where the Belgians
poured a whitening infantry fire on
the assailants.
GERMAN DEAD IN HEAPS.
South of the third line of defense
German bodies are now piled in heaps.
This happened at the beginning of
the assault. South of Fort Bornheim
the Belgians inferred 1920 German
corpses.
When Won Beseler managed to
cross the Nethe and install 161a-inch
guns on the north banks shells fell
in Antwerp like hailstones. Most Of
the remaining population then retired
to cellars, with food, placing mat
tresses and sacks filed with earth
against the doors and window graf
ings."
AS soon as Antwerp was occupied
the Germans began to fortify it. If
given little time they will, with
help of their heavy artillery, make it
practically impregnable.
The Dutch Government has opened
negotiations with the German mill
tary authorities for the speedy return
of the Antwerp fugitives.
Most of the large stock of provi-
sions stored at Antwerp was removed
before the entrance of the Germans
and the remainder was destroyed
The Belgian army took all the can
non except a few guns which were
rendered useless.
A reporter, escorted by the COM
mandant, went through the streets,
but saw no sign of Belgian life ex-
cept a few straying dogs. German
soldiers were walking about asking
their way. The town is little dam
aged.
1000 BELGIANS BEATEN BY RUSE.
The ruse at Duffeld, which enabled
the Germans to overpower or destroy

pened in this way. Late at night the
Belgians saw what they took to be

north bank of the Nethe. To a chal-
lenge the oncomers shouted, 1--WE are

Bordeaux.-It was decided to trans

nounced officially in Bordeaux.
Several Belgian ministers, accom-

Ostend for Havre, where the French
government has prepared temporary
offices for them.
King Albert remains at the head
of the Belgian army.
The Belgian town Of Client was
occupied by the Germans, according
to an Amsterdam despatch to Reuters
Telegram Company. Uhlans arrived
at Selzaete, a short distance from
Client, and the commander announced
that 5000 soldiers would be quartered
on the village.
A despatch from Ostend says that
a German aviator dropped two bombs
on Ostend. Neither of the missiles ex-
ploded.
All eyes are turned to the east
ward because, under conditions of the
utmost secrecy, the TeutOnic Allies
and the Russians are preparing to
engage in what may prove one of the
most decisive combats of the war.
Evidence is accumulating to show
that this gigantic conflict will be de-
termined in Russian Poland, and the
only question disturbing British ex-
perts is as to which side has chosen
the battle ground.
That the German armies are mas
ters of all of Russian Poland west Of
the Vistula River is the declaration
made in an, official statement issued at
the Berlin War Office. The statement
admits that the Germans lost a little
ground in Russian territory near the
East Prussian frontier, but declares
