GERMANS CROSS
RIVER DURING FOG
6ELGiANS FAIL TO DISCOVER
ACTIVITY OF THE ENEMY
UNTIL TOO LATE.

London, Oct. 9-Concerning the
operations around Antwerp, the cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph in
Belgium under date of Wednesday,
|says:J
THE Germans today succeeded in
forcing the passage of the river
Scheldt at point between Schoona.
erde and Eigenem. They did this un-
der cover of a. heavy early morning
fog.
mans on the river were all made un-
der cover Of violent artillery assaults
which repeatedly proved futile. The
last of these open attacks was on Mon
day evening and was defeated by the
vigorous defense Of the allies.
after this defeat the Germans
changed their tactics. Instead of
making an advance in force on the
Schoonaerde position they crept up
during the night towards riverside
point further opposite. Here they
threw across pontoon bridge and at
6 o'clock this morning about 500 in
fantrymen were seen crossing under
cover of a heavy artillery fire.
CAS- soon as 1t became known that
the Germans had crossed the river the
Belgians brought up troops to hold
them back under cover of batteries
which were sheliing the enemy's main
position on the opposite side.
"At half past one this afternoon a
hotly contested battle was engaged
along the whole line. The mitrail-
leuses played considerable part in
the fighting Many Of those employed
by the Belgians are drawn by dogs,
several of which saw lying wounded
by the roadside.
subsequently the Germans made
desperate efforts to bring their artil-
,lery over the pontoon bridge. This
was fiercely contested by the Belgians
and two guns were destroyed by
shrapnel midway across. One bat
terry, however, forced a passage"

London, Oct. $50 far as England

London, Oct. $50 far as England
knows this morning, Antwerp, the lat
est Of the cities of Belgium to be be-
leaguered, is still holding out against
the German onslaught. King Albert
has withdrawn from the city toward
Ostend where the administration is
now fully established, but practically
the whole Belgian field army has re-
NAMED to resist as long as possible
the fire of the great German guns, the
horrible effects of which were made
plain at Liege
The nations opposing Germany hop
ed that the defenders could hold out
until the allies delivered some de-
[cisfve blow along the battle line in
France, which has now almost reach
ed the North sea and taken in con-
junction with the fighting which ex-
tends across the Belgian frontier to
the northward of Lille, makes gigan-
tic front sprawling like snake half
across Belgium and across practically
all of northeastern France
1t is contended that the Germans
failed in their great effort to drive a
wedge through this region and the
latest Paris communion contends
that the situation is stationary though
most violent fighting continues.
If Antwerp falls it will prove the in
effectiveness of modern Notifications
against modern guns, for Antwerp is
the last word in ingenious barriers.
The situation to the east, on the East
Prussian frontier, is becoming more
like that in France after the German
invasion and retreat. Being driven
from Poland the Germans are max
ing stubborn stand and with rein
forcements from Koenigsberg, will
doubtless give battle which will de-
termine whether the Germans will
again invade Russia in this region.
Roundabout dispatches reaching
London from Petrograd say that a new
Russian army has arrived at the from
tier near Posen, while another is
marching toward Thorn.
All reports Of the surrender of
Przemysl appear to be premature as
were various reports about the begin
ming Of a battle at Cracow.

Cores spondent Giues Graphic Description Of
Great Battle on the Western Wing of Allies

, 81 am conducted to some rising
ground outside the town where a won
derful battle scene burst on view. In
front, on the horizon, farmstead is
blazing fercely and the black smoke
trails across the evening sky. With
in five hundred yards Of us the French
batteries are in action, Smelling the
woods to drive out the enemy. Flashes
of flame burst over the woods like
lightning dancing in the tree tops.
Presently the German artillery begins
shelling the battery near us. We
watch, and as the shrapnel fire be-
comes heavier and nearer our guide
suggests it is time to go.
"Oct. 4. The action is now general
in all direction. We go out in the af-
ternoon with the Red Cross to aid in
bringing in the wounded Going IN
the direction of Cambrai, the shells
hu-tle overhead as we run the gaunt-
let Away to the south villages are in
flames and northlard huge cloud of
black smoke hangs over Lens where
the coal mines are on fire.
''It is a real battle picture, awe
inspiring and fascinating. We reach
little hamlet where every building is
full of wounded and the nurses and
doctors are working heroically at the
terrible shrapnel-mangled limbs. We
take all we are able to, in the cars
back to Arras station where they are
entrained.
Entering Arras again we learn that
al the men between 18 and 48 haves
been ordered to leave town. They are
already going out on foot for St Pol
and we join them, also on foot"

London, Oct. 9.-The Times Boil
ougne correspondent, who has been on
the scene, relates some phases of the
! fighting on the French left wing.
The correspondent says the battle
of Arras began Oct. 1 and all around
was an unceasing hail of shells and
shrapnel violence, destruction and
death.
when Y left Arras the enemy's
shells were bursting within three kilO-
meters of the town." says the cores
pondent. 81 have since heard that
shells fell in the town and that three
streets were set on fire. The enemy
did not enter Arras. They swept
around it. They cut line between
Arras and ST. Pol, seeking to effect a
junction with their Bethune force.
sThey came into contact with strong
French reinforcements and were driv-
en- back in the south. In the north
they retired to La Basses with their
right wing resting on Lille. The tide
of the battle has been stemmed-per-
haps has turned in favor of the
allies
"This battle of the north developed
with amazing suddenness as may be
gathered from the diary of my expert
ences."
The diary describes the beginning
of the battle on Oct. 1, and goes on:
"As darkness fell, the tired, blood
stained soldiers began streaming into
Arras and for hours the air resounded
with the din they made. Throughout
the night the boom of guns could be
heard in the distance from the east
and southeast.
"The next morning opened quiet in
town but the roar of guns was still

| heard and apparently as the day ad
vanced the sound was coming nearer
but the citizens showed stout heart
end had plenty of occupation tending
the wounded who were being brought
in continuously, SO that the hospitals
soon were full.
"The losses on both sides, am
told, have been very heavy. In one
action alone today five German regi-
ments were cut up and the horses OF
their conveys stampeded. They were
advancing on ArEas by the road along
the river Scarpe and at the village of
Plouvain they came under the fire
from our artillery and the whole five
regiments broke and fled.
"The day, however, has not been al
together favorable for the allies as
the French line was obliged to fall
back considerably and the enemy's
shells were falling within few kilo-
meters of the Arras station.
Again tonight squadron after squad
ron of war-stained and tired dragons
ride into Arras while long lines OF
|limbers are rattling out on the Douai
road laden with shells for tomorrow.
1t is a serene moonlight night, but
the guns are roaring still, not having
ceased since daybreak.
ION Oct. am awakened at day
break by the thunder of heavy guns
now from the north and east, where
the third days battle is raging in an
triangle formed by Arras. Lens and
Douai During the day watch dar-
ing aeroplane fight in the air and am
invited to watch the battle at closer

Conservation of energy in the con.
duct and regulation of a farm, CO.
operative market plan, long land
leases, fixing of responsibility on the
food producer and a general enjoy
ment of life of the farm, were urged
by j. w. Jarnigan, editor of The
Iowa Farmer" at the Thursday after
noon session of the Wapello County
Farmers institute. This mornings s
meeting was featured by symposium
on, What the Grange is Doing in
Wapello County" Several excellent
addresses were given this afternoon
and this evening the big meeting Of
the institute is scheduled. This will
be featured by discussion by Dr.. r.
~ Lowry, which will be In the nature
OF "a Comparison Between Animal
and Human Tuberculosis"
Mr.. Jarnigan was the only speaker
on the program Thursday afternoon,
as both Prof. George Dunlop of the
Iowa State college at Ames, and
Mayor Leeny were not able to appear.
The mayor was to discuss the city
market proposition while the Ames
man was to talk on, Progressive
Methods in Farming" Several very
fine readings were given during the
afternoon by Francis M. Leaman of
Green Valley, Ill. Mr.. Leaman is a
reader of some note and has proven
very popular with his audiences. The
annual address was, given by the presi-
dent OF the institute, Charles F. Mast
The speaker urged greater coopera-
tion as the method of working with
each other and not against had always
proven the best. He spoke with en-
thusiasm of the live stock show, held
for the first time this year but sure to
come again, and was very optimistic in
his outlook for the institute.
Are Not Appreciative.
Mr.. Jarnigan, in opening his ad-
dress, said that the farmers are not,
