BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The fall of Ant
werp is believed to be imminent
Despite the strength Of the fortiti-
cations defending the temporary cap
ital of Belgium the news that the
Germans are bOmbarding with their
pOnderOus AZ centimeter siege guns,
the same as reduced the forts at
Liege and Namur, leads military men
to believe that the reduction of the
works at Antwerp will prove an easy
matter for the invaders. There is a
conviction that King Albert of Bel
gium is preparing TO fee if it is seen
that the Belgians cannot successfully
defend Antwerp. King Albert may
come 60 England as his fight into
France is cut of by the German army.
Public Interest Divided.
Public interest was divided today
between the situation at Antwerp and
the battle of the Aisne which is still
indecisive, according TO all reports.
The first news that the Indian
troops have reached the firing line
and are reinforcing the French and
British, came today from Marseilles
and Paris instead of from the govern
ment press bureau. 1t was the same
when the news Of the arrival of the
expeditionary army became public.
The information came from Paris in
stead of from the British government.
The 10000 Indian troops will be a
strong help to the allies, but there is
one feature in this respect which must
not be overlooked. The Indians came
from a hot country and would be un-
able to stand the rigors of a winter
campaign without suffering terribly
from the cold. The weather at pres
ent in the western theater OF war is
favorable to the Indians but il will be
only a few weeks until the tinge of
winter is begun TO be felt.
Tells OF Indians Arrival
The Times correspondent sends the
following account from Marseilles of
the arrival of the Indian soldiers IN
that port:
In the arrival OF the Indian troops
at Marseilles L witnessed the flower
Of one of the worlds most ancient
civilizations set foot for the first time
on the shores of Europe. I have seen
proud princes of India ride at the
head of thousands of troops, all in
spired with the intense ardor OF the
east, TO help win the battles OF their
empire.
The port at once knew that the
long expected ships with the Indian
troops on board had arrived.
with admirable precision the ar
mada Of transports carrying the ex-
peditonary force swung into the har-
Dor and dropped anchor. French Of
ficers were lost in admiration at the
spectacle. tt was decided on eVerJ-

VIENNA IN PANIC;
CHOLERA GRIPS
AUSTRIAN ARMY
Gen. Won Auffenburg, Former
Minister of War, Removed in
Disgrace From His CON-
mand in GaIiCia.
BY STEVEN BURNETT.

VIENNA, (By special messenger to
Rome. Oct. Vienna is in panic.
The disaster suffered by the Austrian
armies in Galicia has at last become
fully known. Gen. Won Auffenburg,
former minister OF war. is in disgrace
and has been removed from his COM
mand in Galicia.
Cholera has gotten a firm grasp on
the Austrian armies that have tried in
vain to stop the Russian forces and
also on the troops opposing the COM
bined Servian and Montenegrin forces
in the south. 1t is spreading rapidly
throughout Austria Some cases have
already been found in Vienna and
desperate attempts are being made
TO stamp it out.
Scores Of soldiers are reported TO
have died from the disease. Typhoid
fever and dySentry are also raging
among the troops. who are made TO
suffer because OF the failure of the
government to provide an adequate
hospital and medical service.
Won Auffcnburg Retired.
Though the newspapers have been
forbidden to print the details OF mill
itary movements, it has been impOs-
sible for the government TO conceal
the reverses suffered in Galicia-
Though Archduke Frederick holds
Gen. Auffenburg responsible for the
rout that commander escapes with
retirement on the ground that he is
unable to remain in the field by the
condition of his health.
The stories told by wounded SOL
diers have given the people OF Vienna
enough facts to show that the Aus
trian armies have been completely
overwhelmed. This is confirmed by
another fact-that work on the for
tifications around Vienna are being
hastened. Every available man has
been placed at work.
Batteries are being placed in posi-
ton and mines are being laid. SEN
tries are on duty night and day. All
persons suspected of being Servians
or MOntenegrins are being arrested.
No one is permitted to approach the
district where forufying is being
pushed.

After Engines and Booze
With Levy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA tax on
automobiles in place of the tax on
gasoline contained in the house war
tax bill was recommended today by
the subcommittee CT the senate
finance committee in charge of that
section. The Subcommittee consist
ing of Sens. Williams, Shively and
Gore decided to strike out entirely the
tax on gasoline and TO substitute a
tax of . cents per horse power on
all passenger automobiles paid by the

horse power paid by the manufactur-
ers on all sales of such machines. 1t

that this tax will raise approximately
$16,00O,00 revenue.

an amendment to impose a fiat rate
tax of 81 on all saloons; a tax On the
horse power of automobiles and mo-
tOrcycles Of all kinds; tax of $1.25
on distilled spirits per gallon instead
OF the present tax of $1.1O.

liams were as follows:
"a tax Of One-half of one per cent
on the salaries of all federal en-
ployes with the exception of the
president and the justices OF the su-
preme court. A graduated tax on the
sales OF liquor in saloons from $25 to
$500 according TO the amount sold
during the preceding year. Another
amendment strikes out the tax on ac-
cident and life insurance policies as
provided in the house bill"

Indiana regarding his colleagues,
the president says:
