French casualties numbered only 100.
British and French warships, which
were driven off by heavy German guns,

The fighting along the User Canal has

The Germans who crossed the River
User. in their latest advance in Belgium,
are unable to advance or retire and are
in danger of complete ann'hilation by a
sudden dash of the Allies.
The losses OF the Germans in that con-
llict are staggering.
The Rotterdam correspondent of the
Daily Mail puts the totals at 5000 killed
and 10000 wounded or captured.
Probably never before in the history
of war" he says, have contending
forces fought with equal fierceness. The
Germans crossed the User under the
fiercest OF machine gun and light artillery
fire. BY sheer weight Of numbers they
managed to push their lines across the
shallow river and to take positions on
it's bank. But they could not dig them
selves in so that they had sufficient pro-
lection from the guns OF the Allies. The
latter were perfectly served, and after
the entire front Of the German position
had been shelled, the British and French
made a mad rush with the bayonet.

General Who Took Antwerp One of

LONDON, Oct. 2s.-Dispatches from
Rotterdam tell of an unconhrmed report
there that General Hans II. Won Bcseler.
who commanded the German armies which
captured Antwerp. has committed suicide
at Bruges in Belgium.
There have been several reports that
German generals had killed themselves
on the field of battle. The first centred
about General Won Emmich. who COM
manded the German armies at LieRe. He
was said TO have shot himself because of
the failure OF his efforts to capture the
Liege forts at once. The report has never
been confirmed, but the name of General
Won Emmich has not appeared In the news
from that time.
Another German general was reported
to have shot himself during the early
iEhting in Belgium and still another is
said 10 have tried TO commit hara-kiri In
Paris, where he was taken as a prisoner
There has been no substantiation of
these reports, and the official statements
of Paris, London and Berlin have not even
mentioned them.

LONDON, Oct. 2s.
No attempt was made today to mini
mize the seriousness Of the latest revolt
in South Africa. While the Government
Is confident that the revolt speedily will
be put down. there is a strong feeling
that It will be much more of struggle
than has been the scotching of the Maritz
rebellion. The new leaders, Generals
Christian de Wet and Christian Fred
erick Beyers have strong local follow
ing In the Orange Free State and the
Western Transvaal. The admission by
the War Office that Premier Botha has
himself gone to the front to lead the
fighting against the new rebels, indicates
that the Government has no intention of
treating the revolt lightly.
1t is said that Earl Kitchener, the Sec
retary of State for War, has advised that
heavy force be sent against the fol-
lowers of General De Wet in the Western
Transvaal and the orange River Colony
in order to wipe out all traces of sedlton
before 1t can grow beyond It's present
scope
The quicker the rebellion Is put down
the easier 1t will be TO control South
Africa, according to the views of Earl
Kitchener.
Announcement that n definite revolt
had broken out and that Heilbron, in the
northern part of the Orange River Colony.
has been taken by the rebels, came as a
complete surprise.
The Union Government Is In excellent
shape to deal with the new uprising. No
troops were withdrawn from the affected
territory, when a large number of regu-
lars were sent to the French battle
front.
1t is declared that the younger Beers
are almost unit for the British cause
Because of this latter fact, officials de-
claree that the rebellion cannot last long,
as most OF the sympathizers with II are
elderly men beyond the usual fighting
age.
