Eight Warships Lost to Date.

The cruisers Amphion, Pathfinder.
Aboukir, Cressy, Hogue, Uegasus and
Hawke and the torpedo gunboat
Speedy make up the formidable list
of losses of British warships in the
first ten weeks of the war. Against
this the British admiralty claims four
German cruisers, two torpedo boat de
stroyers, one torpedo boat, three sub
marines and eight armed commerce de-
stroyers. Omitting the armed mer
chantmen, the aggregate warship ton
mage loss to England is, of course,
much greater than that to Germany.
In both cases the lost ships, with
the exception of the cruisers Amphi-
on and the submarines, were older
craft used for scouting purposes, the
ships intended for the sterner work
of a fleet action being held in safer
waters for the day when Germany
elects to sally from behind her naval
base of Heligoland.

Ostend the famous Belgian resort on
the North Sea, was occupied by the
troops of Emperor William last Thursday,
according to Il German official report ar
irving from Berlin by way of London.
If this report is true, the Germans have
attained the point they began to seek I'M
mediately after they had encompassed the
fall of Antwerp and placed their forces 80
miles across the sea from Dover and 10
miles from London. On their way to
Ostend the Germans also took Bruges,
which previously was reported to have
been deserted and where no resistance
was expected to be shown.
The latest French official report does
not touch upon the movements of the
Germans and the allies near the Belgian
coast line, where the one has been trying
to gain a firmer foothoId and the other to
throw back the advance.
OF the hostilities in the west, it merely
says that the fighting continues vigorously
and that in the vicinity of Lille ground
has been gained by the allies. Farther to
the east along the battle line that now
stretches from the North Sea to the
Swiss frontier, a repulse of the Germans
near Malancourt is chronicled.

German column has been hurled back
with heavy casualties by the allies i'll the
