MOVE CAPITAL TO HAVRE
Belgian Government Removed From
ostend to French SoiI-Third Move
Since Fall of Liege.

London, Oct. 1.-THE Headquarters
OF the Belgian government were trans
ferred to Havre on Tuesday. With
the exception of King Albert, who re-
mains at the head of the army, the
minister of war, the members of the
cabinet with other government off
Gals and the diplomatic corps left
Ostend by steamer for the French
port, where they will carry on the
AFFAIRS of state and where hospitality
has been offered them by the French
government.
The American and Spanish minis
ters, both of whom still are at Brus-
sells, are the only diplomatic repre-
sentatives accredited to Belgium re-
naming in that country.
This is the third move of the Bel
gian capital since the Germans ST.
fenced the forts of Liege. The gov
eminent first moved from Brussels to
Antwerp; thence to Ostend, and on
Tuesday across the line to Havre.
This final change followed quickly up
on the German westward advance,
which was begun Immediately after
the fall of Antwerp.

London, Oct. 13.-Antwerp and the
forts surrounding the city are now in
complete possession Of the Germans,
but the greater part of the Belgian
army has escaped.
1t took the Germans just eleven
days to capture one of the strongest
fortresses in the world
An official admission that the Brit
ish participated in the defense of
Antwerp Is contained in an adj
miralty announcement that three ma
val brigades with heavy guns had
been sent there during the last week
of the German attack
The announcement adds that in
the retreat from Antwerp two of the
British brigades reached Ostend safe
ly. The other, however, was cut off
to the north of Lokeren Ca town of
East Flanders, twelve miles northeast
of Ghent), and 1000 of the men were
interned in Holland.
The retreat of the Belgian army
was accomplished successfully.
The losses of the British naval bril-
gades probably will be less than 300
out of a total of 5000 men.
Helpless Before Heavy Guns.

Saunders is wanted on the charge of passing a bad check upon the manager of a local moving pie ture theater. Saunders was arrested April in Johnstown, N.

MRS. FRANK CONFIDENT
 OF SONS AcQU|TTAL
Mother is Not Worrying About Final
 Verdict On MuTStr Charge.

Atlanta, Ga., April 14-Mrs. Ru- dolph Frank, mother of Leo M. Frank, arrived yesterday in Atlanta from her home in Brooklyn. She is expected to remain here until after the final decision is made upon the extraordinary motion for new trial which will be filed Thursday with Judge Hill by Franks lawyers
 Mrs. Frank said that she was not at all discouraged by the refusal of the supreme court of Georgia to re- verse Judge Roan, and was confident that her sons innocence would be established by the investigation of Detective w. J. Burns.
 Mother Ceases Worrying.
 II am excitable and am given to worrying about the little annoyances of every day life," she said, ''but the final verdict on the accusation of murder against my son is one thing that I am not worrying about. It would be an interesting comparison to hold up the moral life of Leo M. Frank side by side with the characters of the men who have been so active in accusing him. I wish it might be done, for I know the things that have pSSII Solu dUOul IlIIl are 110S-dll Hes and I am confirmed in this knowl- edge by the investigation of MT. Burns"
 Mrs Frank spent several hours with her soif in his cell in the tower.
 Daniel S. Lehon,one of Burns chief aids in the Phagan murder in- vestigation said yesterday that his interview with Detective Chief Lam ford in regard to the case had been practically fruitless.
 The detective chief answering Burns offer of a $1,000 reward to any person who would give definite proof of Franks degeneracy, had said that he was in possession of such evidence and that he would be glad to give it to Burns gratis. When Lehon called on Lanford, the latter made objection that he promised the information to Burns, and no one else. Detective Lehon said that he was Burns rep resentative, but Lanford declined to do more than give his visitor an out line of the information he had. He would let Burns see the affidavits, he said, when Burns returned to At lanta.
 Lanford Is Obstinate.
 "I must say that the information he had was of far less consequence than Lanford had led us to believe was in his possession" said Lehon. 'He did not tell us the names of the persons from whom he had affidavits, but his narration of what they told his men was sufficiently clear to designate them as the Formby woman and the street car motOrman, w. r. Murk. I told Lanford that we had made the investigation into Franks character and had as yet found noth- ing to substantiate the stories of inn morality that were circulated by the Formby woman, who since has re- canted, and those told on the stand by the negro Canley. Possibly he has something that he is holding back until the return of Burns, but unless he has he has failed to make good on his promise" #...... ..sa
 Burns is expected back today or tomorrow. It is probable that he will make his report at once, and that Franks lawyers will incorporate it in their extraordinary motion for new trial.
