Ostend.-I vas right up on the firing
line near Lokeren when the Belgtans
were ordered to retreat from the
trenches and was carried along in the
frantic rush for shelter beyond the
range of German shells. Infantrymen,
faded, heavily weighted by accouter-
ments, stumbled across the fields, sweat
pouring from their faces, and sank, eX-
hausted, to lie for a few moments and
then scramble to their feet and stag
ger forward again as shells continued
bursting around them.
They fought bravely and well: The
trenches were not vacated anywhere
till the rain of German shells meant
sheer massacre If the defenders re-
manned.
In the retreat of the field army
which had been defending Antwerp,
along the one road still kept open to
the west, were many soldiers who had
been fighting continually IA days,
snatching hurried sleep on the bare
earth or pavement. Hundreds col
lapsed on the march and had to be
left behind at various points, to fol-
low on after treatment and rest. The
Germans have not yet reached Ostend.
Horse meat has been substituted for
beef at most of the hotels and Testau-
rants. Otherwise there is no lack of
food at normal prices.
Every day, spies are arrested in and
near Ostend. One mar was seized

hood. He was dressed as a simple
peasant and showed evidence of be,
ing a man of superior education, which,
with the discriminating memoranda and
the chalk marks at the station, sealed
his doom.
A German officer was arrested in the
main street of Ostend yesterday wear
ing a Belgian officers uniform. He
was nearly torn to pieces by the huge
crowd before he got to the police sta,
ton.

GERMAN LOSS AT
ANTWERP IS HEAVY

Paris.-The Germans lost 10000
mep in the capture Of Antwerp, ac-
cording to Paul Eric, special CORE
spondent of the Journal, who writes:
The heroic Belgian defense of forts
Waelhem, Wavre and Lierre, forming
the outer ring, cost the Germans very
dear. General von Beseler threw com
pact masses of troops into the inter
walls, where the Belgians poured a
whitening infantry fire on the assail-
ants.
South of the third line of d~efenses
German bodies are now piled in heaps.
This happened at the beginning of the
assault. South Of Fort Bornheim the
Belgians inferred 5000 German
corpses.
When Won Beseler managed to
cross the Nethe and install 16b-inch
guns on the north banks, shells fell
in Antwerp like hailstones. Most Of
the remaining population then retired
to cellars with food, placing mat
tresses and sacks filled with earth
against the doors and window graf
ings.
LAS soon as Antwerp was occupied
the Germans began to fortify it. If
given a little time they will, with the
help Of their heavy artillery, make II
practically impregnable.'

TaIIeyrand's Victory.

One hundred years age the congress
OF Vienna met for formal organization.
Nearly all the monarchs OF Europe
were assembled to take part in the
deliberations, OIL were represented by
their most eminent statesmen. The
Porte alone was not represented In
this great congress of the nations. Ii
is said that the four great allied pow
ers-England, Austria, Prussia and
Russia-had made a secret agreement
to exclude France from participation
in any of their territorial arrange
ments But in vain they reckoned
without Talleyrand. the great French
statesman and diplomatist, who not
only insisted that his country be ad-
mitted to take part in all the delibera-
tons, but himself became the leading
spirit OF the whole congress.

Why the Dance CHANCES.

The ailment that brought the waltz
and the two-step to their lingering
death was monotony. Each had one
one step, n tempo, and that is not
enough. So the dances shriveled up
and died from lack of exercise. A
few years ago the world entered upon
one of its periodical rebellions against
artificial conventions, and the people
returned to the world-old, semi-forgot-
ten recreation, dancing. The revival
of dancing was accompanied by a
clamor for variety.-Woman's Home

oct. 9.-The fall and occupation Of
Antwerp.
Took Two Weeks.
at will thus be seen that the Ger
nan took a fortnight to drive their
wedge into the southeastern section of
the defenses," the correspondent con-
tinues, and 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 cheerfully 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
of the Belgian troops went westward
on Monday and Tuesday TO insure an
eventual line of retreat. A large ad-
ditional force Of British marines ar
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 one balloon down with a round
of lyddite, after shrapnel had proved
ineffective.
Ability to hit back weight for
weight was the one crying need at
Antwerp, whose fate points to one ir-
resistible conclusion-that the day of
forts is owe The supposed impreg-
nable forts proved broken reeds
against the giant howitzers.
One of Brialmont's great works
sank almost bodily from sight in on
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.

The German artillerymen beat their
assailants off with a hellish fire, which
the French artillery tried in vain to
silence. Until late in the evening the
battery continued its deadly work un.
til its ammunition became exhausted
