London, Oct. 9.-The military for
tunes OF General Won kluck and his
one-armed adversary. commanding the
allies cavalry, are being rapidly made
or marred within sight Of the North
sea, which sets a limit to the outflank-

allies continues to stretch out in its
present direction the finale Of the til
tanic struggle may be fought out on
the banks Of the Scheldt and may de-
eide the fate of the belaguered fortress
xof Antwerp, now a prey to German
hdWitzers and air craft.

until the fate of the attempt to re-
lieve the fortress is decided is impos-
sible to fortell.
While some pictures of the lombard

firmed that the damage done by the in
cendiary shells and bombs snowerins

This statement reiterates that while
Great Britain has no desire to crush
