 Will Use Submarines.
 It is understood that volunteers have been called for to man num- Der of the big submarines which are to be sent into the German harbors to seek revenge upon the Germans for the North Sea defeat. The men are told that none are expected to re- turn alive, but no knowledge of what they are to do has been made public. Several thousand men volunteered within a few minutes after the call was posted on the battleships.
 Admiralty Very Active.
 At no time since the beginning of the war has the admiralty shown such activity as at present. That something big is brewing is the gen. eral impression.
 British Losses In France Have Been
 Great.
 The war office announced today that the losses during the fighting the past week in northern France have been exceptionally heavy, but that the gaps made by death and by the wounded have all been more than filled by the arrival at the front of the recruits and reservists. who had been rushed to France as fast as possible.

 The Germans have an almost con. tinuous line of entrenchments the entire front of the army a distance of 100 miles. The allies guns con. tinually play upon the German DO. sitions and give them but little rest.

 Germans Burn Two More Cities.
 OSTEND, Sept 23.-Because the citizens of Heverle and of Betties, two cities near Brussels, have refus- ed to pay the indemnity demanded by the German military authorities, both cities were destroyed last night, the citizens being given one hour to leave their homes and seek shelter in the fields or in other cities. The Ger man officers claim that war taxes lev jed by them will be paid on every town assessed or similar fate will be in store for the cities which re- fuse.
 German Right Wing Finally Turned.
 LONDON, Sept. 23.-It is reported here upon good authority that the German right wing, commanded by General von Kluck, has finally been turned and that his force is retiring towards the Belgium border and may be forced so far away from the base of supplies as to be caught by the allies in position which will make surrender imperative.
 Trenches Filled With Dead.
 Nine miles of trenches evacuated by the Germans between Peronne and St. Quentin were found filled with German dead and indicates the terri ble effective fire of the allies big guns which played upon the trench es for days.
 New British Army Attack Right.
 A new army of 75,000 men sent from here a few days ago has arrived at the front and it's arrival gave the allies the needed endorsements to take the offensive and turn the Ger man wing. This new army is now attacking the Germans with great vigor. Most of the men have seen servIce, having been brought here from the colonies or recruited from reserve men.
 Germans In Critical Position.
 The German right is undoubtedly in a critical position and if the al. lies can keep forcing General von Kluck's army further away from the main army 1t will certainly be cap- tured, as the way through Belgium is dangerous for a retreating army subject always to flank attack from the Belgian forces, which continu- ally annoys the enemy, blowing up bridges and tunnels and destroying tracks and roads. Save 100 Men From Sinking Cruisers
 One hundred men out of 1,500 on the British cruisers sunk in the North Sea were saved. The rest of the men went down with their ships. The shock of the loss of the three boats has stunned England, the people be- ing alarmed at the loss.
 Russians Start Siege of Przemysl.
 PETROGRAD, Sept. 23.-The Rus sian army has started the siege of Przemysl, the strongly fortified posi- tion in Galicia. The commander has allowed enough troops to remain about the city to contain the gar rison, while others are expected to push on after the retreating Austri- an-German army, which is fleeing towards Jaslo.
 Using Big German Guns.
 The big siege guns from the forts at Lemberg, which was captured a short time ago by the Russians, have been brought up for use against the Austrian forts. The guns are of the latest patent big Krupp gun. The Russians also captured large Quanti- ties of ammunition at Lemberg and are shooting the Austrians with their own ammunition. The big Russian guns are also being used but 1t has been found that the big Krupp guns have a longer range.

Germans Close the Rhine.
 THE HAGUE, Sept. 23.-The Ger man authorities have closed the Riv- CT Rhine and no Dutch boats will hereafter be allowed to operate on the big German waterway which has it's source in Dutch territory. The information has reached here that the big Rhine forts are being strength ened and that thousands of people are working day and night along the Rhine to prepare for the invasion of Germany, which now seems certain unless the army in France inflicts a decisive defeat upon the allies.
 Germans Have Little Hope for Suc-
 cess In Present Campaign.
 The German people have but lit tie hope for a successful termination of the present battle, because it is known that the army has lost ground and the terrible losses inflicted up on the kaiser's army by the allies is beginning to be realized. The wounded tell of terrible slaughter by the continued methods of mass at tack.
 Berlin a City of Gloom.
 Dutch residents of Berlin report that thousands of women are wear ing black because of the death of fathers, sons, brothers or sweet hearts. The death list is appalling and the city is gloomy. Ore report states that murmurs of opposition to the government can be heard and that a defeat would almost certainly mean the overthrow of the kaiser.

 Germans Retiring At Rate of Four

 It is pointed out that the Germans are continually retiring all along the line and in no place have the allies failed to make a gain, while the av- craze gain is four miles day.

 LONDON, Sept. 23.-Tha military authorities announce that the report few days ago of the withdrawal of forts has been found to have been erroneous and that the Liege forts are being repaired and strengthen ed ready to be used to stay any pos- sible invasion of Germany by the al- lies.
 German Right Fighting Desperately.
 Day and night the artillery duel continues on the German right. The allies crawled forward at midnight until near the German positions, then rushed the entrenchments and after a hand to hand fight forced the Ger mans to run. The advantage gained has been of great help today in she'll ing the German positions.
 Won kIuck Moves Headquarters To
 Mons.
 General von Kluck has moved his headquarters to Mons, in Belgium. The German right, which was strong ly entrenched at Noyon, has been forced back. The fighting was hot test at Noyon and the Germans have been forced to push back up the Disc river, as the positions gained by the French at Peronne and St. Quentin prevent his making a junctionn with the main German army, which he has been striving to do for the past ten days, but has been blocked at every effort despite the strong reinforce ments sent him from Belgium.
 Must Retire Through Belgium.
 The withdrawal to Mons of the von Kluck headquarters indicates that he will take the only road left open to retreat via Belgium. The railroad line Is still in the hands of the Ger mans and can be used to take them back, but the line is in danger of being cut, in which event his army cannot retire and must fight against overwhelming odds, besides having its supply cut off.

Their work has brought high praise not only from French generals but the British have marveled at the new France so de- termined to win the war and recov- CT the lost provinces of Alsace-Lor- raine.
