TAKEALLOF BELGIUM
VICTORIOUS GERMANS PLAN TO
CAPTURE WHOLE OF
THE COUNTRY
NEAR COAST OF FRANCE NOW
Fall of Antwerp Followed by Occupa-
ton of Ghent-March Toward
Ostend-PeopIe Flee
From Belgium Cities

London, Oct. 14.-The headquarters
of the Belgian government were trans
ferred Tuesday to Havre. With the
exception of King Albert. who re-
mains at the head of the army, and
the minister of war, the members Of
the cabinet, with the other govern
ment officials and diplomatic corps,
left Ostend by steamer for the French
port, where they will carry on the af-
fairs of state, and where hospitality
has been offered them by the French
government.
The American and Spanish min
listers, both of whom are still at Brus-
sells, are the only diplomatic represen-
tatives accredited to Belgium remain
ing in that country.
This is the third move of the Bel
gian capital since the Germans
silenced the forts of Liege. The gov
eminent first moved from Brussels to
Antwerp, thence to Ostend, and Tues
day crossed the line to Havre. This
final change followed quickly upon the
German westward advance, which was
begun Immediately after the fall of
Antwerp.
New Plan of Campaign
Success in taking the chief port of
Belgium opened the way for a new
plan of campaign, which embraces the
occupation of the whole of Belgium,
including the coast towns, and, if pos
sible, some of the northern French
ports.
In accordance with this new plan
the German invaders have begun to
sweep across northern Belgium. Yes
terday morning they occupied Client
without opposition and are said to be
we'll advanced toward Bruges on their
way to Ostend They probably will
meet with strong opposition before
they reach Bruges, as the Belgian
army is being reinforced.
All dispatches from that region are
being strictly censored so that moth
ing has been learned of the opera
lions since Client fell into the hands
of the Germans The people are flee
ing before the invaders and the steam
els from Ostend Tuesday were
crowded with refugees.
Advance in Southern Belgium
The Germans are making a simulta
neous western advance in southern
Belgium, while across the border in
France a whole army corps has occu

SUMMARY Of WAR

SUMMARY Of WAR
SUNDAY.
The British losses at Antwerp are
reported to be 300.
The Russian troops are undertaking
strong offensive movements in Po-
land.
The Russians have evacuated Res
zow and are retreating from Mariana
ros-Sziget.
The progress of the battle along the
line from the Belgian frontier to Lor-
raine is problematical.
On the East Prussian frontier the
battle between the German and Rus
sian forces continues with undated
obstinancy.
A British force consisting of three
naval brigades of about 5000 men with
heavy guns, fought beside the Bel
gians in defense of their great Ant
werp fortress.
The death of King Charles of Ru-
mania, which occurred at his country
seat at Sinala, in Walachia, brings
prominently to the front the question
of the attitude which Rumania is like
ly to assume with regard to partici-
patton in the war.
MONDAY.
From Germany alone came anything
concerning the surrendered city of
Antwerp.
Scant are the actual details of the
recent fighting between the allies and
the Germans.
At all points except one, that in the
Woevre district, German attacks are
said either to have been repulsed or
held.
German aeroplanes again have made
dash over Paris, dropping bombs.
Three persons were killed and IA in
jured and considerable damage to
property was done.
Except that a rear guard action be-
tween the Russians and the Germans
southeast of Wirballen was in prog
ress, nothing came through concern
ing the fighting in the eastern wal
theater.
TUESDAY.
The occupation of Antwerp by the
Germans has been followed by the oc
cupation of Client

German submarines have again come
into prominence by the sinking of the
Russian armored cruiser Pallada il
the Baltic sea.
The fighting along the great line ex
tending from the North sea to the Ger
man province of Lorraine continues
with indefinite results.
Berlin officially reports that the sit
uation in France is satisfactory as IA
as her arms are concerned, and othel
official reports indicate that the Ger
man and Austrian armies have made
progress in the Russian campaign.
WEDNESDAY.
The Belgian government has beel
removed to Havre.
Germany claims that all the Frencl
attacks have been repulsed.
A late dispatch from the RUSSIAN
capital says that the siege o
Przemysi fortress is progressing.
The Belgian official statement an
nounces that 1000 Belgian soldier
are still in Antwerp as prisoners.
The French and British are success
fully holding back the German RICH
wing, which recently has been heavil
reinforced.
A feature of the war of the nj

The Snow Man

It was tho time when snow falls,
And covers the entire ground:
When little hoys make Snowflake e
And a white sheet covers all round
Little Billy made a snow man,
Made one big and tall.
One with a head and eyes, pipe
And hands. and feet and all.
That night that snow man came to
him,
He came to Billy as he slept.
He beckoned TO Billy and nodded, too,
And out OF the house they crept.
He carried Billy way up In the air.
Where they talked with the angels.
too,
And then they went through palaces
As he'd otsen lonsed to do.
And then as the dawn began 10 break.
They came hurrying down.
And when Billy looked about him,
There were snow fakes falling
round.
Then tho snow man smiled at him
sadly
And looked like he would cry;
Because. as he said to Billy.
It was time to say goodbye
And he told Billy that in the morning
He must not want him too much
For he. the -snaN man, would not
be there,
For with the world he must keep
in touch.
And SO when Billy awoke
that bright Sehr,iary- Y,aorf1

His nice snow man was gone.
