Summer Resort Demolished.
The sentries said that Middlekerke

pretttest OF Bel"ian summer resorts.
had been virtually demolished by the
bombardment. They were unable to
account for the bombardment of Mid
delkerke, as the real German lines
were beyond at Westende, where some
of the f1ercest fighting Of the war is
taking place. This also is true Of the
approach to Newport, which 1: still in

Ostend Is practically deserted. Only
a few scores Of inhabitants can be
seen in the streets and the number Of
occupation troops is small. They are
mostly marines. who are performing
coast duty. The Germans are pre-
pairing for the bombardment Of Ostend
and foundations for cannon are ready
on the promenade. Many guns also
have been. mounted on the dunes be-
tween Mariakerke and Ostend.
Many Wounded Arrive.
Wounded are being brousht con-
stantly in for shipment to Brussels.
Most OF them are wearing huge head
bandages, often stained with red, tes-
tifying to the deadly character Of the
trench hrhting. There was one de-
tachment Of 80 Fren. h prisoners.
The bombardment Of ostend itself
a week ago did damage only to tho
extent OF a few thousand dollars. The
mar staff was dining in the Hotel Ma
'estic. The first shell dropped on an
adjoining hotel, giving most Of the
German officers an opportunity to es-
cape. but the second shell struck the
mark. Five men were killed. one Of

losin both his legs and still another

reports.

Norway, Russia and Finland for the
purpose Of arranging the trafic be-
tween Russia and Great Britain, with
out using the old trade route over the
continent. That this trade should be
accomplished by Swedish railways to
Swedish ports on the Atlantic appears
self-evident, as the route is the Short
est and cheapest. The Norwegians
have. not without success, tried to
lead the Russian transit trade, goods
as we'll as passengers, partly through
Christiania and partly through Bergen
to Great Britain. But the reason for
this success ia exclusively to be
found in the lack of Swedish enter-
prise and in the i%nferiority of the
Swedish war insurance. The Nor
wesians quickly put into working or
der an inexpensive wal risk insurance
and were able to begin traffic with
several vessels while no Swedish ship.
ping Arm dared send a single vessel
over the North sea. They have also
been able to use their old mail route
and the tourist route from christi.
ania though both have been subjected
to constant changes in time and des-
tination.
