VIENNA, (Via Rome) Oct.
-Four gigantic battles and
two bombardments of forts,
involving fully 5000, 600 men,
are in progress in the eastern
theatre of war today. At no
point has there been any de-
cisive result and it will be

al Rennenkampf with 1000, 900
first line troops is endeavoring
to resist the efforts Of General
Won Hindenburg's army to
cross the Niemen river be-

ANTWERP, Oct. I. (via the Hague
The Germans continue their bonn
bardment Of the outer line forts Of
Antwerp. They are using long range
heavy artillery for this purpose.
Aviators who returned today from re-
connoitering the German lines, report
German engineers are apparently con-
structlna concrete bases at number
Of points. These, Il is believed will
be used to mount the big siege guns
which are now being rushed west
ward from Liege, drawn by traction
engines.
The progress Of bring up these guns
Is very slow. Every cuIvert along the
road has been destroyed by the Bel
gians during the last few weeks. In
addition, wherever possible, the high
ways have been cut and blocked so
that the engineers must build roads
in front Of their tractors.
The war Office this morning issued
the following statement reviewing the
situation:
"The German bombardment Of the
first line forts continued throughout
Wednesday. Germans had the "a ee
but their shells had little effect other
than slightly to chip the concrete at

fact, results since the Germans began
their attempt on the capital have been
far from commensurate for the effort

garrison is excellent. There Is no
alarm felt anywhere. II is not be-
yieved that it would be possible for
the Germans to make single breach
in the Antwerp Notifications.
Il is also stated that the seigians
are slowly retiring from the Termonde
district.
