Aftack On Osfend
Harms BrilIsA, Who
Fear Air Raid

LONDON, Aug. 26.--Reports from
ostend today say that the German
attack on the city has been renewed.
Scouts report heavy bodies OF Ger
man reinforcements coming up, and
It is believed the city will be forced
to surrender.
Steamers arriving at Folkstone re-
port the presence OF English warships
near the Ostend harbor.
The London newspapers say the
capture OF Ostend by the Germans
will be q direct menace to England,
inasmuch as II IL only Sc miles on
the British. coast. They profess to
believe Il Is the intention Of the
German general stan to take the
city and then to mount heavy guns
to protect Il from raids by sea. me
danger Of Zeppelin raids Is also dis
cussed at length. There IL no dis
guising the fear England has toward
these. The narrow escape OF the
royal palace at Antwerp In yester-
days raid shows that the Zeppelins,
operated by an expert-and Count
Zeppelin, despite his great age. has
volunteered to operate one In person
can become q real menace. The
distance across the channel from
Ostend would be easily negotiated.
The bitterness of the feeling
against England, and the fact that
up to the present the British feet IL
intact, may lead the Germans to un-
[dertake an aerial raid which might
have serious results. In addition the
Daily Mail, I'm discussing the almost
certain capture Of ostend today,
says:
From naval standpoint ostend
is well equipped to serve as Q refuge
and harbor. II II were strongly held
by land several German warships
might attempt dash there from VII.
|helmshafen or Heligoland. Once un.
der the protection of the land guns
they would have base for raids
against channel shipping"
Other experts take q contrary
view, however. They say the British
meet could bottle up esteHa as effee.
lively as they have already bottled
up the great German ports, and they
insist the only advantage Germany
will get from holding Ostend will be
base for an aerial raid.

Russian ARMIES
Continue AdVance
Through East Prussia

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.--Rus-
sian armies having their bases at
Gumbinnen In the north and Biala
in the south are cooperating today
in an effort to drive the Germans
from the lake regions OF eastern
Prussia.
The attacking front spreads over
go miles of country and ID passing
through very difficult country nlled
with forests, marshes and lakes
These are commanded by German
redoubts heavily manned with light
artillery and rapid FIRE guns and the
fighting Is constant.
The Germans are reported to be In
fiicting as much damage as possible
and then retiring, blowing up their
positions before abandoning them
They are falling back on their main
lines OF Notifications which have al
ready been located by the Russian
army air scouts.
Because OF the difficulty Of the 20
sitions and OF the strength OF the
parallel lines OF forts forming the
first real line of the German defense
II il believed there will be no frontal
attack in force, but that an attempt
will be made to envelope the German
position and overwhelm II by hank
attack.
The general stan announces that the
who yesterday gathered In
force along the river Sereth near Tar
nopol have been attacked by Cossacks
and completely routed. In this attack
the Russians took five guns and much
general equipment and 800 prisoners.
They Also shot an Austrian aeroplane
TO pieces, bringing II down wrecked
mass. Two officers I'm II we're crushed

was injured and taken prisoner.
The German army OF eastern Prus-
STA r. declared to be demoralized. Part
OF Il has taken refuge In the Konigs-
burg fortress and many Of the soldiers
IN their flight are reported to have
abandoned their knapsacks aud rifles.
This force il said to he part OF the
Twentieth Prussian army corps. Re-
viewing the lighting between Inster;
burg and Angherburg the official
statement says:

north OF Kadenburg we fought sue

ers which were able to approach clos
er TO the position than the heavy
draught Japanese battleships and bat
tie cruisers blockading the ports. The
forts are reported 10 have had the
range OF the British and 10 have kill
ed 10 men and slightly damaged the
British war craft
II Is reported here that not only
have the Germans completely mined
their harbor, but they have strewn a
line OF mines outside which endanger
the blockading feet. In addition, the
Germans have removed some OF their
guns I'm the coast forts to new posi-
tions. thus making valueless the maps
OF the defenses possessed by the Jap
anese.
Explaining that Japan desired TO
prevent as much as possible a need
less loss OF life, the Japanese minis
ter requested the Chinese foreign OF
Ace to remove the limitations on the
German concession already agreed
upon to prevent the extension Of hos
tilities to any wider area. The Chi
nese government refused.
That the German garrison at kiao
Chau can hold out for not less than
three months Is the general opinion
here. The forts have been materially
strengthened and to take them by
storm would be herculean task.
Their reduction by shell fire from the
ships win be distinctly dangerous, as
the fort batteries have equal range
with the big guns OF the japanese
squadron.
The Chinese ofYicials have again
been assured that under no circum'
stances does Japan consider holding
the German concession when captur-
ed. The Japanese officials here de-

ANTWERP IN
DEADLY FEAR OF
AIR ATTACK
toe.s,.ssa fro. PC. one,

/ ~.
OF a renewal OF the attack II Is an
nounced that the ofilces Of the gen.
eral staff have been removed TO To-
cality not revealed. and that the
members OF the royal family VIII
leave the palace and take refuge else
where.
II is now considered certain the
pilots OF the Zeppelin made their RAID
IN accordance with a pre-arranged
plan. Il would have been impossible
for them accurately to get the range
of the royal palace, so high did the
dirigible sail, II signals had not been
displayed from within the city. The
government il endeavoring to trace
these accomplices, who will, when
caught, be sumamrily executed as
spies.
Opinions OF the experts AZ to the ex-
uIosiye used vary. Some insist II was
A special sort OF shrapnel bomb fllod
with a new explosive which added
greatly to its destructive power. These
experts declare the bombs were dis
charged from a special gun made for
that very purpose. The advocates OF
this belief declare Il was very. plain
from the course taken by the shells
that they were aimed with the great
est care at public buildings. That
they lift private houses and st. Eliza
beth's hospital, they say, was due to
the inability OF the gunner to get an
accurate range from the moving
dirigible which naturally would be I'M
steady.
The bodies Of the yIetlms were ter
ribly rnannled. Four plrIs and their
young mother were literally blown TO
pleeso IN their beds when their home
wss destroyed BY . bomb which fell
squarely upon II. A man and wife
were killed 40 they stood, cIInginp TO
way Of their home. Doctors who at
tended the wounded declare they new.
er before saw such horrible wounds on
human beings.
II Is announced that the Belgian
government Is sending formal protest
10 the neutral powers demanding that
they protest to Germany against this
unwarranted killing Of unprotected
rion-combatants. Women and children
fear to leave their homes and cover
In the cellars. Even the Belgian sol
diers are troubled. This death deal
ing force from the air cannot be met
with modern methods. BY orders OF
the general stan dozen picked Bel
CLAN aviators, with the best aero
planes available, have been stationed
at the outlying forts with orders 10
watch for any further visitations.
They have all vowed they will attack
! any .dirigible coming here, even
: though II Is necessary TO ram II at
the cost OF their own lives.
Every Belgian soldier Is desperate
! The sights at the ruined houses and
in the debris-littered streets have ap-
! palled those who saw them. Bitter
revenge Is threatened on the Ger
4 mans. and II Is feared that reprisals
may be taken on any Germans who
may be captured.

the French poured into Alsace-Lor-

PARIS, Aug, 26.-with the fate Of
the nation admittedly hanging on the
result, the allied lines along the
northern and eastern frontiers were
being hard pressed today by the entire
German active army. All night fresh
troops were being brought up by the
enemy. while General Joffre devoted
the time to strengthening the weaker
points In his defensive columns.
When the great battle was resumed
at daybreak today the German assault
was met with determined defense

confidence that the line as now
established will hold. The fighting
