The simplest way to find out the
height Of tree Is one that civilized
man owes to one Of the most primitive
races-the Australian bushmen. Stand
with your back toward the tree at a
point that you think the top Of the
tree would reach If the tree were felled.
gtoop down and look back between
your legs at the top of the tree. Move
forward or backward until you can
just see the sky over the highest
branch; there make your mark. The
distance from that mark to the trunk
win be the height Of the tree. There
may be some boys SO built that they
cannot measure anything higher than
a gooseberry bush by this method, but
even these win find it an amusingly
accurate substitute FOR more scientific
methods. Youths Companion.

London. Oct. 13.-The Kaiser 10
hurling great masses OF cavalry
against the line Of the allies in the
neighborhood OF Lille near the Bel
CLAN border and a critical battle is in
progress at that point. It is the evil
dent intention of the Germans to break
through the allies line and prevent .
conjunction Of the French and English
with the Belgians and British marines
who escaped from Antwerp.
The flanking movement Of the allies
continues and desperate efforts are be-
Ing made to circle the German left and
join. the defeated army at Ostend
Should the Germans succeed in their
attack on Lille 1t will compel the
troops in the extreme west to discon-
tinue this movement and go to the
support Of the defenders there. Mean
while the German army which cap
tured Antwerp IL being hurried across
Belgium to the support Of the Kaiser's
lines along the frontier. The number
available because of the reduction Of
the Belgian metropolis is estimated at
between 100000 and 100000 men.
It IL asserted that the Germans have
entered Ghent.
The finger of the censor having
twisted the tourniquet on all direct
sources Of news from Belgium, just
now perhaps the most potentially Inn
portant scene Of the fighting In the
great war, the British people were
forced to content themselves with the
official communication from Paris, and
even q close analysis Of this slowed
no marked change In the situation far
voring either side.
The British and Belgian troops who
retired from Antwerp before the Ger
man occupation. with the exception OF
those who are now interned on Dutch
soil as result Of having crossed the
border, have been swallowed as COM
pletely as II they had been buried un-
der the ruined forts. For military rea-
sons their position and the area Of hos
tilities in Belgium must remain OBJ
scure until the turn of events bring
them sharply to the fore again. as was
the case when after the fall Of Ant
werp the British public learned for the
first time that British forces had as
sisted the garrison.
Optimistic. as always. the British
press, besides contending that Ant
werp is Of no importance to Germany
as q naval base. finds solace In the
argument that the release of the allied
troops there more than counterbal-
ances the troops which Germany will
send from that point into France.
Colonel Frederick NJ. Maude, re-
tired army officer and author of sew
erai standard military books, writing
in the Evening Standard. says:
This morning finds the Belgiaus,
with five-sixths of the British contin-
gent, perfectly ready to renew the
fight, with their supplies and rein
forcements from over sea amply safe
guarded. After deducting the neces-
sary garrison for Antwerp, losses, ETC.,
it il exceedingly improbable that the
Germans have more than 10000 men
to follow them. which gives us q clear
