In CITY OF LONDON
Twenty Shops Wrecked and Cen
eral Pillaging Follows-Ger-

London, Oct. 1S.-Anti-German
rioting in London last night seems
to have been more general than
first supposed. Twenty shops were
wrecked. Damage was done in

stores were attacked and one was

kets were smashed and confec-
'cionery store wrecked. Some of the
shops were pillaged. Police were
called out and twenty persons ar
rested.
Great excitement prevailed
throughout Sunday in Deptford and
neighboring boroughs. Crowds in
the streets refused to move at or
ders of policemen and soldiers.
Twenty bakeries, butcher shops
and saloons were completely freck-
ed. Rioters threatened to attack
German places in Bromley and other
bcroughs II they were permitted to
open.
The rioting was led by one hun
drei dock laborers, who had I cen
turned out OF a lodging house to
make room for Belgian refuge es.
The men gathered in a Germ1n sa-
loon and smashed the windows and
the bar. The lockers charged the

WHAT THE WAR Is COSTING.
Claim That Each Nation is Spending
$500, 900, 900 Monthly.


Paris, Oct. 1S.-Paul Leroy-Beau-
lieu, the French economist, esti-
mates that each of the greatest bel
ligerents is spending an average
equivalent to $2OO,OOO,OOO monthly.
In presenting these figures to the
Academy of Moral and Political
Science, he considered it probable
that the war would continue for
seven months from August l. Ac-
cordingly the five greater powers en-
gagged were committed to an expen-
diture of $7.OOO,0OO,0OO. Each of
the smaller states, including Japan,
will have expenses of from $780,
100000 to ssOa,ooO.Ooo to meet.
M. Leroy-Bealllieu concluded:
"The larger part of the savings Of
the world will be absorbed by the
taking up of rational loans and
economic progress will be seriously
checked"

STRUGGLE FOR COAST
PORTS NEARING CRISIS
Fighting Must Now Be More
in the Open.
LES SIS INTRENCHMENTS.

Decisive Results May be Expected.
House-to-HOuse Advances Are
Now in Progress.
London, Oct. 19.-The attempted
advance of the German forces along
the coast of Belgium and Northern
France. apparently with the aim of
establishing themselvess in British
channel ports SO sAey may menace
England. has n tched critical
point.
The extreme western fighting line
now reaching from Armentiers
through Roulers to Nieuport on the
coast about half way between Ostend
and Dunkirk. According to the
French official announcement today.
German heavy artillery, presumably
used in the siege of Antwerp, has
bombarded the front from Nieuport
to Viadsio, which is about 10 miles
from the coast.
The allies also have made progress
eastward from a point south of
Armentieres toward Lille on a line
running roughly to Arras. The re-
port tells of house-to-house fighting
in which the allies are advancing.
The battle has ragged around .Arras
without respite for 10 days, and on
the part of the allies troops fwith a
~s,-,. u
never for moment has been re-
laxed."
The German official reports covers
these operations more tersely. 1t
says the attacks northwest OF Lille
have been repulsed with heavy slosses
to the allies.
ALLIES HOPEFUL.
English and French papers gath
er encouragement from reports pub
hshed from their side. From the
German point of view it is possible
the Germans have improved their
position and with the forces that be-
sieged Antwerp and reinforcements
from Germany are attempting along
the coast another sweeping move
ment.
In this field of action 1t appears
inevitable there soon must be some
decisive result. The country's fat
ness seems to have made it impossi-
BILE for the two armies to entrench
and face each other without i'm
portant change in position for weeks,
as they have done across Northern
France.
The announcement that the Ger
mans have taken siege guns to the
neighborhood of Belfort may mean
they plan an attempted advance on
both ends of what has become vir-
tually a long fortified line.
German official reports say the
exodus from Ostend is being repeat
ed in the fight of inhabitants from
Dunkirk and Boulogne. Conhrma-
ton of this assertion has not been
received here, but it is wholly possi-
Die the proximity OF the Germans
has created a panic at those ports.
Great battles continue in the east
tern theatre between the Russian
and Austrian-German forces. Re-
ports from both sides are brief and
contradictory, Petrograd claims
the Russians have won partial sue
cess In severe fighting before War
saw and Przemysl. Vienna declares
the Austro-German armies have
made advances in both regions and
that the Russian casualties at
Przemysl number 10000.

about postponement If gubernator-

that this rule was incorporated in the
