Belgians Order
All Residents
Out of Alost
AS Germans Approach, Every Man,
Woman and Child Abandons Place
Leave Houses open and Larders
Filled.

Client, Belgium.-What in some OF
its aspects is the most remarkable
incident in the whole course of the
Belgian campaign occurred by order
of the Belgian military authorities.
Alost has been evacuated by the en-
tire civilian population of $4,000. Not
a Belgian remained in the place.
This is in answer to Termonde.
That town was wiped out with a com.
pleteness known in history. To
save Alost, three times in size, from
a similar fate the Government has
taken the wise though sensational
step of ordering it's complete aban.
donment to the last man, woman and
child.
In the morning there were 40, 000
civilians quietly pursuing their avoca-
tons. When the place was entered
by the German forces in the after
noon it was as quiet as a sepulchre.
When the German advance guard
came it found the doors of all the
houses open, food in all the larders
ready to be eaten, wine to be
drunk and beds to be slept in-all
that an army could desire.

BRITISH SHIPS SUNK BYCERMANS
WARS LATEST PHASES


RUSSIA report from P~etrograd
says that the Russians have gained
a victory over the Germans at
Kaliscz and also that the German
offensive movement in Russian Po-
land, which was directed against
Warsaw, has been halted. The
Russians claim that their battle
line has been strengthened from
East Prussia to Galicia. In Galicia
the Russians have advanced to
Debica, about seventy miles from
Cracow. The Austrians ~retreating
from Przemysl are moving in the
direction of Sanok, and report says
that in their retreat they are aban-
doning artillery and stores. The
Russians have crossed the Car
pathian Mountains, have captured
Uzsok with a number of guns and
prisoners and from this point they
have descended into the plains of
Hungary.
GERMANY.-The financial statements
Of the banks of Berlin indicate that
Germany has enough money to car
ry on the war for a year. This
statement is optimistic. The gener-
al public subscriptio to the war
r loan is a contribution of $500, 000,-
900 marks ($1,125, 600, 000).
BELGIUM.-The Belgians report sue
cesses in engagements at Grember-
gen and Schooten. Severe fighting
is reported at Termonde and Hof-
stade. The Belgians stopped the
bombardment of Malines, but not
not until part of the city was de-
stroyed. The Germans bombarded
Alost, much damage resulted and
the hospitals was burned. The Ger
mans, according to one report, have
begun the bombardment of Ant
werp.
notwithstanding to reports from
Pekin, the Japanese are moving
west in China, with the evident in
tention of selling the stations along
the Shantung railroad

THROUGH FRENCH LINES
IN A WEEK, SAY GERMANS

Berlin, (via wireless to Sayville, L,
ID Reports received here directly
from the front say the high German
military officials in charge of the cam
paign in France predict that the Ger.
mans will break through the allied
lines within the next week. The re-
sistance is said to be slowly slack.
ening at several points.
That many of the wounded who
might be saved are being sacrificed
through the scarcity of doctors at the
front was the statement made by the
surgeon in charge of a hospital train
from Aix-la-Chapelle. He alleged that
the chief reason for this has been
the utter disregard of the Red Cross
by the French. OF the German doc,
tors sent to the front, this surgeon
alleged, many have been killed or
wounded while trying to aid the SUI.
fering along the battle line.
The train was simply crowded to
it's utmost capacity. Although many
of the wounded were very serious
cases, they remained accomplishing.
They declared, however, that the con
ditions at the front were terrible.

Austrians Pursued by
Russians Into Hungary
Artillery and Equipment Left by
Broken Army-Germans Also Suffer
a Disastrous Defeat, 1t Is Claimed
by the Russians.

Rome.-An official dispatch from
Petrograd says that Przemysl, in Cali
cia, is now entirely invested by the
Russians, and that the main Austrian
army is retiring behind the Carpa-
thians.
A telegram from Petrograd states
that the right wing of the Austrians
has been driven back beyond the Car
pathians into Hungary, where they
are being pursued by the Russians.
The Austrian debacle is complete, and
they have lost all their artillery.
The Austrian left wing has re-
treated to Cracow.
The Russians claim to have inflicted
a disastrous defeat on the Germans.

London.-While the censorship is
more strict than at any time since
the opening of hostilities, it is ex.
planned that there are certain evi.
dences, especially on the extreme
left, that the Germans are weakening.
In this connection a report tele-
graphed from Ostend that Mons had

Boehm established his headquarters
when he started south from Brussels
with the main army that was operat-
ing in Belgium. 1t was also Won
Kluck's base of supplies.
Won Boehmss army was assigned
to prevent Won Kluck being outfank-
ed by the French army, operating
from the northwest, where it had
been gathered to support a new Brit
French armies are in strong forces
and have raided the German COM
m~unications far north of the point,
where up to the present any fighting
has been reported.
The prolongation of the tension on
the two long lines of fire and death
fronting each other on the Aisne has
become insupportable to the Germans,
since reports indicate that they have
changed their tactics and attacked
with the bayonet. General Joffre has
succeeded in pushing his lines inside
the range of the deadly heavy German
guns forced the enemy to hand-to-hand
fighting.

GREAT BRITAIN AND JAPAN
TO BLOCK Philippine
COAL IMPORTS.

Washington. = Both Great Britain
and Japan are threatening not to per-
nit the import of coal into the Philip
pines unless a bond is given that it
will not be re-exported and as a re-
suit fears are expressed that there
will be a coal famine in Manila.
There have been suspicious that
German vessels were loading coal
here'and delivering it to war vessels
at sea, and these suspicious still exist.
The steamship Elmshorn, which had
taken on 5000 tons of coal and started
to leave the port, returned to Manila
after sighting a British cruiser out
side.
Japan has instructed local Japanese
merchants not sell coal except under
a bond of twice the value of the coal
and it also insists upon consular in
spection.
