Rome.-An incident of the battle
between the French and Germans
near Esternay and Sezanna is thus de-

"a German battery, which had been
caught in a swamp, and which for this
reason had been cut off from the main
force, managed finally to free itself
from the mud. Instead of sur or

place batteries for their purpose and
at midnight a heavy bombardment
begins.
Oct. 8.-Exodus of the population.
The bombardment of the town is con
tinued with violence. The petrol tanks
are ablaze. Berchem, a southern sub
urb, is in flames, as also are many
houses in the city. The defending
troops on the southwest section are
offering violent resistance. 1t is de-
cided to evacuate the city, and the
British and Belgian forces leave dur

ut will thus be seer that the Ger
mans took a fortnight to drive their
wedge into the southeastern section Of
the defenses," the correspondent con-
tinues, land this speaks volumes for
the stubbornness of the defense. Brit
ish marines were hurried across last
Sunday and conveyed to Antwerp with
all speed. They came without over
coats or kits, but ch%eerfully endured
the cold and rain as well as the pulver-
izing fire.
After Monday it was merely a ques-
ton of enduring the terrible fire as
long as possible. A large proportion

eventual line of retreat. A large ad-

rived Tuesday morning.
Mount Their Big Guns.
Eventually the Germans mounted
their 42-centimeter guns. They were
enabled to fire with great accuracy,
thanks to their observation balloons,
although owing to the cold and heavy
rain their operations were sometimes
suspended. The British gunners
brought n balloon down with a round
of lyddite, after shrapnel had proved
ineffective.

weight was the one crying need at
Antwerp, whose fate points to one If
resistible conclusion-that the day of
forts is over. The supposed impreg-
nable forts proved broken reeds
against the giant howitzers.
"One of Brialmont's great works
sank almost bodily from sight in con-
sequence of the cavities made all
around it's foundations by the terrific
explosions. The others are shattered
beyond recognition.

force saved all it's wounded and guns.

FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect.

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse in Pa,
writes: Il used to drink strong coE-
fee myself, and suffered greatly from
headaches and indigestion.
while on a visit to my brothers I
had a good chance to try Postum, for
they drank it altogether in place Of
coffee. After using Postum two weeks
I found I was much benefited and
finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion.
Naturally I have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has
been left OF end Postum used.
Il observe a curious fact about
Postum when used by mothers. It
greatly helps the flow Of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry II
up, and where tea causes nervousness.

ITCHING BURNING ERUPTION

Hector, N. Y.-"The skin trouble on

In connection with the announce

counties. This is in line with the
recommendation made in his last re-
port in which the commissioner stated
that proper attention was not given
to the sessions in the cities and more
populous counties, but that, owing to
the lower grade of efficiency In the
teaching forces in the rural communi-
ties, it is deemed necessary to con-
duct the institution in these sections.
