EXECUTE MAN WHO FIRED
LOUVAIN

London, Oct 1.-The Antwerp cor
respondent of the Associated Press,
who managed to leave Antwerp after
a weeks survey of the battle, tele
graphed from The Hague Monday af
ternoon as follows:
This is the sixth day of the siege
of Antwerp and the Belgian army is
figh ting with reckless courage. The
government officers openly declared
they expected a bombardment Of the
city by the middle Of the week but
were resolved to resist to the last,
though they feared this meant destruc-
ton of the city.
"As a precaution the boilers of all
the German ships in the Antwerp har-
Dor have been exploded so as to pre-
vent the use of the Scheldt and An
tv erp as a German base. The deto-
nations set the excited Sunday crowd
near to panic.
''The people generally are orderly,
however, and are keeping up cheer
ful demeanor. The siege of Antwerp
began September % with a fierce
bombardment of the town of Malines.
Where the ancient church was severely
damaged. Next day the town Of Lierre
vas bombarded, and here, too, the
church was destroyed In this attack
seven citizens were killed and three
were wounded. The town was hastily
evacuated by the population. but in
the evening Belgian infantry came and
at last account it still held the
city.

was bombarded, and here the tall fac
tory chimneys offered an excellent tar

leaving behind several dead and
wounded.
Antwerp is defended by a circle

tackled this semicircle of forts with
their heavy artillery. The retreating

The queen is devoting her time to

Most wonderful, however, is the
patient, unfaltering courage of the
average Belgian soldier, who has been
fighting for nine weeks. Tired, with
hollow eyes. unkempt, unwashed and
provided with hasty meals, he is
spending most of the time in the
trenches. He never complains. bu

The war has presented no picture
of greater desolation than that of the
hosts of refugees fleeing from the last

hope from the allies standpoint is
found in the news that the almost ex-

guns.
