German Guns Make Break
in the Antwerp Defense

reported in force in the neighborhood OF
Ostend. They win probably be used
in a further outflanking operation
which will have for It's object the driv-
ing out of Brussels Of the Germans and
the relief Of Antwerp.
Press dispatches received here to-
day tell of British heavy artillery
posted inside of Antwerp 10 aid in
the defense of that city. This Is the
first intimatiOn that British troops
we're sent into Antwerp. IL proves,
however, what has been assumed, for
weeks, that the general stan has
taken over the direction Of the Bel
CLAN campaign And IL would also
explain the presence OF the German
airmen over western Belgium While
they dropped bombs apparently I'm a

mountains are now moving south and
have occupied HOsszumezO. He states
that the Cossaoks have also cut the

WOULD RUSH CODE
Reading TO TAKE
UP changes in It

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Oct. 5--The two
Houses OF the Delaware Legislature
re-convened this morning, and the
reading of the revised code resumed
in both Houses.
Twenty-three members OF the House
answered the roll call. the absent
members including Messrs. Barnard,
Bradford, DerricksOn, Hirsch. HOf-
fecker. Layton, Lingo, Ovens Phillips,
Records, Schneider and Swan In
the Senate all members answered
roll call except Senators GOrmley,
Walker and Williams. Lieutenant
Governor Ferguson presided
In the Senate the reading of volume
three was taken up, ana President
Pro TEN Marshall asked If unanimous
consent OF the Senate could not be
secured for the holding OF a contin-
uOus reading of the code, so that it
could be finished by Friday.
Senator Walls took the stand that
as the reading of the code was large
ly a matter of form, he saw little or
no objection to such procedure, but
thought that the House should be con-
suited so that the Senate might be
governed accordingly.
President pro TEN Marshall further
explained his position by saying that
his object in making the suggestion
was TO allow all of the next week, if
necessary, for consideration of the
three special laws to be included in
the code. that of the uniform fishing
laws. real estate partition law, and
a law relating to the election of Uni
ted States Senators. the latter being
the most important
DR. Marshall suggested that the
public be invited next week to hear
any such discussion that might take
place on the three special laws or any
other laws contained in the code. DR..
Marshall also thought it we'll to in
vite the members of the State Board
Of Health. and State Board of Educa-
tion to hear the changes which had
been maze in laws governing those
bodies.
Senator Walls contended that the
House should be consulted before any
definite action was taken and recon-
mended the appointment of a COM
mittee of three from the Senate to
consult with the House relative to the
question.
Senator Reinhardt explained that it
was customary in all legislative bodies
, TO read lengthy documents as was be-
ing done in the present reading of the
code, and that if anything special
arose, the attention of either body was
called to it and special action taken.
He also stated that the General As
sembly was relying solely on the Code
Commission as to the accuracy of the
report. AS the courts were relying on

Former European Manager OF Il
United Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-tll a. m.l-The
allies are steadily climbing The ladder
leading into Belgium. while the Germans
are consistently pH.hinc re- ladder fIir.
ther away from them own lines OF COM
mmication. At the southern end oi
Won Kluck's battle front, that is. at
the bottom of the ladder. the allies are
within twelve miles of the main rail-
way that runs through the German
lines back TO Liege and the chief Ger
man supply stations at Aix-La- Chap
pelle and Cologne But at Arras,
where the advance army of the allies
now rests, this distance has been in
creased to thirty-two miles
Arras is sixty miles nearer Belgium
than the bottom OF the ladder, and this
represents the gain the allies have made
as the fourth week of the Aisne battle
opens The Germans, however, have put
an additional twenty miles of safety
between their lines of communication
and the enemy, which constitutes the
gain OF the three weeks fgting for
them. Both sides, therefore made sim
ultaneous advances against each other
along the same flank This is condi-
tion without precedent on large scale
IN the history of warfare.
Coupled with it is the further ex-
eeptional fact that the allies are con
tinuing to climb the ladder to Belgium,
while lighting is proceeding on a num-
Der of the rungs; The most important
OF these conflicts at present is in the
neighborhood of Rove. one-third of the
distance between Arras and the bottom
OF the ladder The Germans are trying
to shove the ladder further away, at
koye, where it is about fifteen miles
from their Indispensable railway
Arras, however, is looming mp into
prominence as the site Of the turning
point in the campaign Here. the chief
railway which the allies are using,
turns to the east, piercing the German
battle front and proceeding TO Brussels,
oy way OF supposedly strong positions
az Nalenciennes and Mons. Another
line Just beyond Arras at Douai moves
northward toward Ghcnt. This second
route. while running further away from
the German communications, marks the
natural direction for the relief OF Ant
werp. There is no reason to believe
Antwerp is in need of immediate sue
cor, and it seems, therefore. that Auas.
twenty-eight miles from the Belgian
frontier, or some nearby town, must be
the termination OF the allies purely
northern movement.
Arras, because of. its railway impor-
tance, Is the natural pivot for the allies
to use in swinging TO the east and con-
centrating ON the German line of COM
munication through Belgium. This
pivotal movement cannot be long de-
laycd and probably will make the next
phase OF the campaign.

THE GOVERNOR AND

Governor Colqultt makes bold
charge that the Banks have received

on their obligations In the East and
at home. or are holding II while the
farmer is deprived Of the relief in
tended for him.
We don't know how much the
governor knows about II. He Is sup
posed TO be posted. since he has been
evolving banking scheme and all
bank people are supposed TO know
all about the financial workings OF
the country. Really, however. the
Governor is not 30 fully conyersant,
for he proceeded next to wire secre-
tary McAdoo for a detailed statement
OF the distribution Of the emergency
fund.
Banks that accept this fund are
required to pay II back in stipulat-
ed time and In the present disturbed
condition they probably feel a deli.
cacy In standing responsible for sew
eral thousand dollars distributed over
the country In small amounts. II n
said that all the National Banks
could get their prorata OF the Fund.

It and be sure Of getting It back In
