But what was it she said about the

Kent impatiently. There's no other

"Oh, some rot about daring to follow
her star and find happiness and that

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The fierce rs-
sistance of Antwerp defenders on
the scheldt was partly inspired by
the presence of King Albert 5himse1f,e
says n Client correspondent.
The repeated German attack aim
ed at the line of defense proved fiIsS
tile and the German retiremehts
were attended with considerable
losses.
King Albert retains command OF
his troops, the dispatch says and fs
continually in the field directing the
operation, an. example almost gals
vanic in its effect to his brave forcss
es. The batteries were engaged in d

brisk duel while our wide machine
guns were hard at work.
This continued for some liours.
The Germans for. time did mot sue
coed in locating the Belgian bait ters
les and 1t was amusing; to, watch
their shells exploding, as a rule, in
any but the right places.
Early in the afternoon, however,
they sent an aeroplane over the Bell
gian line position, and very shortly
afterwards their shells began to fall
in iilconvenient places. Is
The Belgians found they were be-
ing overpowered, and orders were
given to withdraw from their posi-
tions.
1t must be remembered that tic
whole of this country Is covered by
villages and hamlcts. and hope i
may not again see scenes similar 10
