THE War SITUATION IN EUROPE

HAGUE, Oct. S.-Communication
with Antwerp have been interrupted,
and the bombardment of the city it.
self is reported progressing. German
guns have crumbled most of the out
er forts, and many forts in the in
ner ring. The Germans demanded the
city's surrender but this was refused.
They then gave the inhabitants two
hours, notice to leave. 1t is reported
that at the expiration Of the time
limit the city itself was bombarded.
Thousands fled in panic, and the
roads to the frontiers are Uttered with
household goods and clothing. The
refugees are in wild panic and We
hicles of all kinds have been used in
the flight.
1t is reported that numerous Ger
man shells are dropping in the city,
and many houses have be,n destroy
ed. The Germans assert that the
Belgians have been driven from the
outer and inner forts, and 90 field
guns and four heavy batteries and
many rapid firers have been aban-
doned.
The German aviators in armored
machines are dropping bombs and the
Belgian airmen are attacking them
unsuccessfully.
1t is believed that half of Ant
werp's population has fled. The Am
erican consul general, Diedrick, took
all the hospitals under his protection
and American and Red Cross flags
are flying over them.
The German big guns wrecked the
supposedly impregnable Belgian po-
sitions on the Nethers river. The
Belgian losses are enormous. The
Germans first tried to string pontoons
on the Neither river, but the Belgians
repulsed them six times. Then the
German field artillery massed and
shelied the Belgians while the four
sets of pontoons were strung. Two
German divisions crossed and carried
the Belgian entertainments with bay
onets.

Somme and Disc in the region of
Roye the enemy is in full force, but
we have regained the greater part Of
the positions, where we were COM
PEELED to yield previously. North OF

man troops appears to be diminished
On the heights of Meuse between Ver-
dun and st. Mihiel, the enemy has
withdrawn to the north of Hatton-
Chattel, but we continue to hold st
Mihiel and some portions of the ter
ritory north of there on the right

GHENT, via Ostend, Oct. 9.-Ant-
werp still holds out. All night the
forts were bombarde5s shells occa-
sionally dropping in the city. The
German aviators signaled the range to
their guns.

gees say that the Belgian forces are
being removed, leaving only sufficient

Perhaps never before has the D.
& r. G. railroad carried as big u
crowd out of Pennington as attended
the Durango fair. Those returning
are decidedly enthusiastic over the
great success of the event, and are
of the opinion that all the San Juan
basin will benefit there either direc =
ly or indirectly A strong sentiment
is developing down this way in favor
of suspending efforts in holding the
small local fairs in the basin and con
centrate on one event of the kind al
some central point and Durango seems
to be the choice. OF course some OPP
position may be encountered In so
radical a change, yet upon sober and
unbiased reflection It must be seen
that change in that direction would
in all probability be wise.

battle extends from Lens to Arras,
from Bray to Chalnes and Roye to
