eo,ooo BELGIAN REFUGEES
 EXPECTED IN ENGLAND
British Government Extended Invita-. tien to All Homeless 6eIsians.

London, Sept g, TAO p. m.-Sixty thousand Belgian refugees are expect ed to arrive in England in the next ten days. The British government extend ed today a general invitation to all BeIgians made homeless through the war to come to England, and the vol- -unteer war refugees committee, or ganized by the Duchess of Vendome, has undertaken. with government suy pervision, to receive and fare for these refugees.
 Six temporary depots have been es- tablished in London where over 5000 Belgians will be sheltered and fed un- til they are placed in the homes of charitable English families. Homes have already been offered for 10000 Belgians and the committee is arrang- ing. to send refugees direct from Folkestone to Birmingham, Liverpool and other cities, where refuge awaits them, and the people of all classes are eager to make them comfortable.
 Scotch and Welsh towns are espe- ciaHy anxious to entertain the Bel gians, and the committee believes it can make provision for a million refu- gees if necessary. Sanitary condi- tions and lack of food in the Belgian territory fought over and a probable attack on Antwerp will doubtless make it necessary for hundreds of thousands of women and children to leave that country.

FIRST BATTLE IN AIR
 OF EUROPEAN WAR
trian Airship-Both Machines Col lapsed, and Both Men Killed.

London, Sept. g, s:37 p m.-Captain Nesteroff, one of the most daring of Russian aviators and the first of his countrymen to loop-t e-loop. has sac rificed his life in a successful at tempt to destroy an Austrian aero plane, says a Petrograd despatch to Reuters Telegram Company.
 According to a report from the front Captain Nesteroff was returning from an aerial reconnaissance when he saw an Austrian aeroplane lowering over the Russian forces, presumably with the intention of dropping bombs.
 The Russian aviator immediately changed the direction of his machine and headed straight for that of the Austrian at full speed. and although he must have known well that victory by such tactics could be gained only at the coast of his own 1ife he dashed into the Austrian aeroplane- The force of the impact caused the col lapse of both machines, which planged to the earth. the two aviators meeting instant death.

 The Germans, who have brought up endorsements, are striking at the al- lies left and center between Mont mirail and ito-le-Fra ncois, a front of from fifty to sixty miles but each time they have been driven back.
 Achievements for Germans.
 This is not surprising to military men as the Germans have been com peiled to advance through the swamps of the Petit Morin, and then over bare uplands to the extremely strong French position on the right. It is their only chance. however, and it is expected they will strike and strike again. They are bringing their endorsements down from ChaIons on the roads lead and Sompuis. in the face of the French artillery posted On the heights, which give it a great advantage.

 General Pau, who commands the center of the French army in this district, is reported to be advancing north of Sezanne towards the plateau Wn1cn commands the center or the whole battlefield.
