ANTWERP COST
GERMAN KAISER
$4,000 SOLDIERS
Especial to Tines-Recorder.)

LONDON, Oct. 12.-An Amsterdam
dispatch to the London News states
that the Germans lost $4,000 men in the
capture of the city Of Antwerp. Most
CT these were killed in the attacks on
the forts around the Belgian city dur
ing the early days of the fighting.
1t is indicated that the lombard
ment OF Antwerp by the heavy siege
guns of the German army did not
damage the city to the extent reported
in Saturdays dispatches. The Bel
gians offset their property loss to a
great extent by destroying German
shipping in the harbor.
The value of the booty the Germans
took with the city cannot be estimated.
Every soldier who entered Antwerp
with the victorious forces is today
comparatively a rich man. Their
knapsacks, it is said, are filed with
,1any valuable and they are covered
with much jewelry of great value.

he lead off with double that coupled
with wild heave of bunt layed down

the third straight game from the

were kept ago all the time with fast
playing.
With Philadelphia leading by two
runs, Boston got busy in the tenth and
tied things " thanks to one Hank
Gowdy who raped out a home run
and Moran, Evers, and Conolly who
engineered walk, single, and a

they took them from the field on their
shoulders after the game.
