BERLIN, Oct. 1l.-CBy Wireless to Say
Vile, L. l.. Oct 14)-The news from Ant
werp was received last evening. No
extra editions Of the papers announced
the fall of the Belgian town, but the fact
became generally known and the streets
were filled with people carrying flags.
There was no formal demonstration. only
a quiet feeling of satisfaction over the
achievement of German arms.
1t is commonly believed here that the
army will now be able soon to force the
French lines. Emperor William person.
ally telephoned the news about Antwerp
to the empress.
It is officially stated that the bomb
thrown by the British airmen on the
Zeppelin works at Dusseldorf caused
comparatively little damage. The roof
Of the shed shows an insignificant hole.
It is reported the sirship in the shed was
not inflated and consequently tho dam
age can easily be repaired.
King Albert of Belgian in order to
avoid useless bloodshed is said here to
have Intended TO surrended Antwerp, but
was prevented by the British, who led
the defense before the garrison with
drew. The British, it is said destroyed
thirty-two merchant steamers and twen-
ty-two German Rhine river vessels in the
harbor. This act is described here a. a
wanton destruction justified by no mill
tary measure OF defense.
The following has been given TO the
press from official sources:
THE correspondent Of the Daily Chron-
icle states that the Belgian government
after the fall OF Antwerp, planned TO go
10 London.
The Baseler Machrichten states that
the Matin of Paris published pictures OF
the cathedral OF Rheims taken after the
bombardInent and showing that edifice
was only slightly damaged. The Baseler
Machhichten deduces that the French
official statement on the destruction Of
the cathedral is thus proved untrue.
AN official telegraphic agency OF Pet
rograd admits that the Russians suffered
great losses in men and guns during tho
September fighting with Austro- Hun
garians.
Reuters Telegram company reports
from Peking that the japanese have oc-
cupied the German island OF Yap.
1T is reported from Basel that German
ambulance troops taken prisoners in
France and returning by way OF Basel.

Murphy fired Chance and APP

better than most baseball men
