ceptional energy in coming to the de-
fense of Warsaw and saving the city

Warsaw were Immediately sent to the
front, but not before they were warmly
hailed by the population, which was
greatly impressed by the martial ap-
pearance of these young soldiers. Dur

an soldiers took many prisoners belong

B0MB-THR0WING HELPED
By AMERICAN PETROLEUM

London, Oct. 22.-Under the head
ing, America and German Bombs, 4"
the Chronicle prints an appeal to
the United States to stop the sale of
petroleum to Germany. The meaning of
the caption is that American oil will
be used, if it reaches Germany, to pro-
pei bomb dropping Zeppelins. The
Chronicle says:
sit cannot be comfortable thing
to the American public to know that it
is supplying Germany with instruments
of barbarism. Germany is leaving no
stone unturned to obtain American sup
plies of petroleum, and there is little
doubt that she is succeeding, to some
extent, at least.
Let the American journalists ask
the citizens of the United States
whether they will tolerate longer the
departure from their shores to Scandi-
navia and Holland of vessels laden with
millions of gallons of oil destined for
Germany

SITUATION FOR GERMANS In
BELGIUM BECOMING CRITICAL

London, Oct. %, 306 A. M.-Tele-
graphing from Flushing Holland, the
"Daily Mails" correspondent says:
1.-The situation for the Germans in
Belgium is becoming critical. This
wednesday, morning they were still
holding Westende and bombarding
Nieuport, but they were under the fire
of warships. The replies of the Ger
man batteries were falling short of the
~warships.
AS sequel to the allies capture of
Boulers the German line has been bent
back to Thorout.'

its mark. How the German submarines
sumably they crept down the Dutch
coast, submerging whenever sighted by
a British patrol and then picked their
way carefully through the British mine
fields.
With the fighting along the Belgian
coast hardly more than 20 miles from
Dover that area of hostilities neces-
sarily holds chief interest with the
British public, though, according to
last nights Paris official communica-
tion there were violent actions here and
there along more than 70 mile front,
extending almost due north and south
from Nieuport to La Bassee Every
where the allies claimed to be holding
their positions.
Reinforcement of German Right
Reinforcements for the German right
have been spoken of daily since Ostend
was taken and to-day comes report
that Austrian forces were being trans
ferred from the Italian frontier for this
purpose.
Rumors that Emperor William is
seriously i'll are filtering in here via
Paris and this with report that Ger
man feet is off Falsterbo, Sweden, are
among the usual crop of unconfrmed
narratives that London is discussing.
From the east comes a claim of the
Austrians that they have retaken the
last point in the Carpathians held by
the Russians and it was added that
there is "now no enemy on Hungarian
soil. - A reiteration that the Germans
have been routed south of Warsaw was
the gist of Petrograd s latest communi-
cation.
The members of the American com
mission charged with the duty of send,
ing food to the starving Belgians are
due to meet in London to-day.

Opinion Prevails in
London That Battles
in North Belgium Are
Adverse to Germans
LATTER SAID TO
BE RETREATING
Report That Kaiser's Troops Have
Evacuated Ostend and Are on Way
to Bruges-British Ships Said to
Be Smelling the City

London, Oct %, 1880 A. M.-Re-
Ostend and, were retreating toward
Bruges and that the West Flanders
army, from the vicinity of the coast
south to Courtrai, was being hammered
into zigzag line by the combined eff
forts of the British navy and the Brit
ish, French and Belgian troops, seemed
to coincide at so many points to-day
that in the absence of claims of any
advances from Berlin, opinion here was
that the lighting among the canals of
North Belgium, which followed the
German rush from Antwerp, had been
generally against the invaders.
AT any rate the Germans at one
point have been driven back as far as
Thourout and some dispatches say that
their communications in the middle of
West Flanders have been so disorgan-
lied that troops from Ghent are march
ing direct to Courtrai rather than Join
their comrades to the north who are in
danger of being cut off.
Evacuation Of ostend Not Confirmed
The evacuation of Ostend was not
confirmed this morning but from Berlin
itself came report that British ships
were shclling that town while another
dispatch said that the guns OF the war
vessels had destroyed the village of
Siype ON the canal between Ostend and
Brages, where it is said the Germans
have their headquarters. At Slus, only
. few miles northeast of Slype in
1340, British feet achieved a vic
tory over the French.
1t is clear now that ships have been
playing an important part in the war
fare along the coast The admiralty
officially announces that the monitors
Sverne, Humber and Mersev not only
bombarded the Germon position south
of Ostend but landed detachments of
marines with machine guns 1t is re-
ported from other sources that eleven
war vessels in all are taking part in the
operations but what they are is not
announced.
Dodge Submarine Attacks
CuFiously enough the monitors re.
tain that title from " Lincoln = cheese
box of Civil war fame and so far, ap-
parently, they have been able to dodge
submarine attacks, though as reported
on Tuesday at least IL torpedoes were
discharged at them without one finding
