GREAT ARMIES IN
A DEATH GRAPPLE
Sixteen-Inch Shells Now
Falling Upon the City
King Albert Has Called
All Men of Military Age
to Assist in the Defense
and the Belgians Hope to
Hold Out.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Oct. 8.-While
the immense armies are en-
gagged in a death grapple
along lines hundreds OF
miles long, the little Bel
5ian army is making a last
stand behind the forts at
Antwerp, one of the strong
st fortified positions i'll the
world. The Antwerp strug-
lie is the center of interest,
md as its result must have
considerable effect on the
Anglo-French and German
EOrces, which extend from
+he Swiss frontier, across
france, almost to the North
Eea.
Last night sixteen-inch
Tnd smaller shells began to
Fall upon the city, the Ger
mans heretofore conhning
The bombardment on the
.orts. At the same time
SIX Zeppelins flew over the
citv dropping bombs. 1t IS
impossible yet to ascertain
the damage. King Albert
has called all men of mill
airy age to assist in the de-
.ense. Thousands of citi-
zens have left. Five Ger
man army corps, or 100000
men, are taking part in the
siege. The Belgians are
still hopeful that they may
hold the city until assistance
nay come by the defeat of
the Germans in France.

increased today by the appearance at

afternoon of German air craft which
dropped bombs destroying seven
houses and killing a score of people.
The large avenue leading to the
rear station quickly became black
with a struggling mass of Persons all
eager to escape from the city. Seized
with an unreasoning, terrible fear, the
residents transported invalids, cripples
and even occupants of lunatic asylums.
The situation, however, quickly
changed. While at o'clock even
grown men were weeping with terror
and fighting for places around the
railway station, at 6 O'Clock everybody
was again certain that the forces would
be able to hold out against the, Ger
mans and even throw them back across
the river Nethe, while everybody was
telling his neighbor how far superior
the *"%~ guns were to the German

London, October 8.-The
French official communica-
ton late today gives the
allies hope that the long
awaited decision is about to
be reached. The communica-
ton, from the allies view
point, is the most encourag-
ing in many days The
strong German reinforce
ments which appeared i'll
the Lille region, according
to the communication, have
made no progress at any
point, while at certain points
the enemy was forced back,
particularly north of Arras,
where fighting developed
under conditions favorable
to the allies.
Around Roye, where the
Germans captured impor-
tant heights from the allies
last week, the allies have re-
gained several positions.
North of the Aisne river
the Germans apparently
have withdrawn some troops
probably to strengthen their
extreme right, around which
the allies have been trying
to work ever since the bat
tie began, nearly four weeks
ago. On the center both
sides are resting and await
ing their turn to take the
offensive. On Meuse heights,
however, the fighting still
continues. The French have
checked the Ger
mans in the Woevre district.
On the East PrussianI
frontier the operations seem
to be at a standstill. The
lighting is on a large scale,
however, and will soon be
-esumed. when it will be de-
,ided whether the Germans
will re-invade Russia IN this

VILLA WILL MEET NEW CON
DITIONS ON MARCH
Heretofore He Has Operated in
Country Friendly to Him.

Chihuahua, Mex, Jan. 25--What will be
the fortune of Gen. Francisco Villas army
of 5000 or more rebels when they pass
south of Torreon into the central states
of Mexico, received serious considerations
by the rehle leaders today. That the reb-
els will take Torreon, they have every con-
fidence.
Heretofore the activities of Gen. Villas
army have been confined chiefly to what
to what was regarded as rebel territory
and rebel victories have been achieved
against federals cut off from commulca.
tion ana from their base Of supplies. I'm.
limited supplies were at the service Of the
rebels in the north.
Southwark conditions are changed. I'm.
portant cities, such as Zacatecas, Aguas
Calientes and San Luis Potos, have federal
garrisons supplied both with rations and
ammunition direct from Mexico City
Moreover, communication and railroad
facilities for shifting federal troops are a.
valuable. The federal strongholes thus
are more closely knit and can reinforce
each other more readily than they could
in the north.
Another consideration before Villa con
Germs the possible attitude Of people Of the
central states toward and invading rebel
army. In the north Gen. Villa has had
little difficulty and rallying the non-com.
batants to his side.
South Of Torreon are great deserts to
which water will have to be carried, in
some instances for a hundred miles. The
deserts also are devoid Of cattle and the
rebels will have to depend for relief on
such towns as they leave in the rear.
