INTHEWAR ZONE:
What They MEAN
BY ]. w. L. MASON.
Former European Manager of the
United Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10-(11 a. nj
Antwerp's occupation by the Germans
has been effected by the same means
that were used at Liege. After
silencing several of the forts, the
German army made its way into the
city between the defensive works
without waiting for their total de-
molition.
Similarly, also, to the German ex-
perience at Liege, when the invaders
got within the defence5, they found
the Belgian army had made its es-
cape. This Is the most important
part of the episode. The prediction
made in this column two days ago
that the Belgian field forces would
consider their own preservation more
important than the defence of Ant
werp has been borne out The re-
fusal of the Belgian army to delay
it's retreat beyond the limits of safety
undoubtedly was the principal factor
in the early fall of Antwerp. No
field force being present to bar a
passage in to the city. the silencing
of a few forts was sufficient to pro-
vide success.
The inability Of the Germans COM
pletely to invest the city and COM
pei the surrender of King Albert's
army has lost them the chief prize Of
the Antwerp monoeuvre.
BY taking the city, the Germans
have strengthened their lines of COM
munication. for they are now absolute
masters of all eastern Belgium. The
Belgians also have been deprived of
strong base from which disconcert-
ing raiders could retire with safety,
when hard pressed.
But the escape of the Antwerp army
will prevent the capture of the city
being made a means for increasing
the German battle line strength in
France disproportionately to the new
Belgian reinforcements for the allies.
The Germans must divert a consider
able force for garrison duty in Ant
werp and the union of the Belgians
with the Anglo-French army will coun-
terbalance the German troops now re-
lieved from Eastern Belgian opera
tions. But above everything else, Ant
werp's fate shows the capture of
Paris would not have been difficult If
the Germans had been permitted to
begin a siege.

o'clock this morning, and at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon the new Women's Col

largest crowds Of visitors in the his
tory of Delaware College.
The visitors included Governor

bers of the Legislature and many
other especially invited guests. Every
possible plan had been made for
looking after visitors and all those
who desired were shown through the
various buildings of the two insti-
tutions. Judging from the number Of
visitors from other States, the affair
was one of almost national impor-
tance, as Representatives from prob
ably forty colleges and universities
from twelve different States were in
attendance.
The Inauguration Of President
Mitchell, the thirteenth president
since the college was first organized
in 1884, and the fifth since it was re-
opened in 1870, was of special i'm
portance. The large pillars and the
stands in front of the Oratory were
decorated with the college colors,
blue and gold At 1870 o'clock the
procession formed on the athletic
field and marched to the stands. head

corps. All of the seats we're occu-

member of the board Of trustees, pre-

made short addresses.
After these addresses, Chancellor
