FINAL WAR
BULLETINS

Four German torpedo boat destroyers
were sunk, in battle off the Dutch
coast, by four British destroyers
and the cruiser Undaunted. The
British trawler Ajax was blown up
by mine, and nine men perished.
The few survivors of the British
cruiser Hawke, sunk by a German
submarine, arrived at Aberdeen.
According to a Berlin official state
ment the Allied lines in Belgium
are cut off and the fighting now
extends to DunI<irk, in France.
The Germans, according to Petro-
grad despatch, having lost 80 per
cent. of their forces in the storm
ing of lvangorod, Poland, have
brought up reinforcements to stem
their defeat. Both sides report vic
tory in GaIicia.
Anti-German mobs in London have
wrecked twenty bakeries, butchers
shops, and saloons belonging to Ger
mans, and looted the stores and also
the dwelling places Of their owners
above them.
The Allies have driven the Germans
back thirty miles In the northern
area, according to an announcement
by the British Press Bureau.
The British Admiralty announced that
the cruiser Hawke was sunk in the
North Sea by German submarine
Thursday. The loss Of life is said
to be about 327 officers and men. A
sister ship, the cruiser Theseus,
made It's escape.
A Berlin official report states that
ostend was taken by the German
Army. News dispatches from
France say that the city was not
bombarded, as their occupation was
not hindered.

struggles for the possession Of

boats nd other small craft arrived
at Dover and cities along the French
coast without food for thIrty-sIx
hours.
II is asserted that from six to eight
German army corps are operating
on the East Prussian frontier,
where Berlin reports that the fight
ing continues favorable to the Ger
mans.
London conceded that the Germans
controlled channel ports in Belgium,
but It was said they would meet
strong resistance by the Allies If
an attempt was made to extend the
invaders right wing to the French
coast.

GERMAN LOSS AT
ANTWERP is HEAVY

Paris.-The Germans lost 10000
men in the capture of Antwerp, ac-
cording to Paul Eric, special CORE
spondent of the Journal, who writes:
The heroic Belgian defense of forts
Waelhem, Wavre and Lierre. forming
the outer ring, cost the Germans very
dear. General Won Beseler threw COM
pact masses of troops into the inter
walls, where the Belgians poured
whitening infantry fire on the assail-
ants
South of the third line of defenses
German bodies are now piled in heaps.
This happened at the beginning of the
assault. South of Fort Bornheim the
Belgians inferred 5000 German
corpses.
when Won Beseler managed to
cross the Nethe and install 161s-inch
guns on the north banks, shells fell
in Antwerp like hailstones. Most Of
the remaining population then retired
to cellars with food, placing mat
tresses and sacks filed with earth
against the doors and window graf
ings
LAS soon as Antwerp was occupied
the Germans began to fortify it. If
given little time they will, with the
help of their heavy artillery, make 1t
practically impregnable."

which both sides have gained slightly
at certain points and lost at others.
But at no point, it is stated, has
there been any decisive result.
Two or three of the positions, it is
declared, have been taken and re-
taken three or four times. The
weather is said to be bad and this
has had the effect OF slowing down the
rapid movement Of troops.
Victories are reported from the
French war office at three important
points along the 360-miIe battle line
in France. Close to Verdun the Ger
mans directed an attack on the Allied
force extending from MaIancourt to
Verdun, In which region the Anglo
French movement toward Metz is in
progress.

DIARY TELLS OF GERMAN ADVANCE
ON and CAPTURE OF ANTWERP

London. lin the form Of a diary, the
story of the siege of Antwerp and the
German plan of attack are given in
the following dispatch received by the
Central News from its JOstend CORE
spondent:
Saturday, Sept. 26.-The Belgians
retired from their positions east, south
and west Of Malines to the line OF out
er forts.
Sept 27.-The Germans bombarded
and occupied Malines.
Sept. 28.-Bombardmen of Forts

trenchments in the face of veritable
hell Of shell fire. The water supply
in Antwerp is greatly curtailed.
"Oct. 1.-THE Lierre forts destroyed
The German infantry attacks were re-
pulsed with heavy losses.
Oct. 2.-There was a heavy bonn
bardment of the Belgian trenches The
Belgians retired at night in good or

Germans began to occupy the outer
ring of forts. A German aeroplane
flew over the city and dropped pamph.
lets urging the inhabitants to surren-
der and save themselves suffering.

Germans Fail at Eighteen Different
Points in Desperate Attempts tos
Cross the vistuia--Artillerys
Abandoned in swamps. p

( Petrograd.-With more than 4,000,-
600 engaged, the great battles now
being waged by the Austro-G German
armies and those Of Russia along the
Vistula and San Rivers, in East Prus-
STA, and in Galicia are expected to
be of even greater consequence than
the struggle now in progress on
French soil.
Dispatches from Warsaw indicate
big Russian victories, but no decisive
engagement has as yet been fought.
The Germans have been foiled in their
attempts to cross the Vistula at
eighteen different points and have
suffered severe losses.
Information received from the scene
of the fighting, which is likely to
last month and even through the
winter, shows that the German armies
in Poland and Galicia number at
least 100000, while the Austrian
armies consist of at least 100000
more. lie Russians have force
of 100000 facing them. This does
not include the 10000 men General
Rennenkampf has in East Prussia
nor the large German army there
holding Koenigsberg.
From Warsaw comes the informa-
ton that no new attacks are expect
ed, because the Germans who adj
vanced there have been decisively
beaten and that in their retreat they
suffered greatly in loss of men and
guns and munitions. The roads add
ed to their rout. In some places the
roads were bogs and horses sank to
their quarters. Thousands of animals
and big guns had to be abandoned.
The Russian losses during their at
tacks on Przemysl are estimated at
10000 dead and wounded

city is imminent The Germans en-
place batteries for their purpose and
at midnight a heavy bombardment
begins.
"Oct. S.-Exodus of the population.
The bombardment OF the town is con-
tinued with violence. The petrol tanks
are ablaze. Berchem, southern sub
urb, is in flames, as also are many
houses in the city. The defending
troops on the southwest section are
offering violent resistance. 1t is de-
cided to evacuate the city, and the
British and Belgian forces leave dur
ing the night.
Oct. s.-The fall and occupation Of
Antwerp.
Took Two Weeks.
1t will thus be seen that the Ger
mans took fortnight to drive their
wedge into the southeastern section of
the defenses,' the correspondent con-
tinues, land this speaks volumes for
the stubbornness Of the defense Brit
ish marines were hurried across last
Sunday and conveyed to Antwerp with
all speed. They came without over
coats or kits, but cheerfully endured
the cold and rain as well as the pulver-
izing fire.
After Monday it was merely a ques-
ton of enduring the terrible fire as
long as possible. A large proportion
of the Belgian troops went westward
on Monday and Tuesday to insure an
eventual line of retreat. A large ad-
ditional force of British marines ar
rived Tuesday morning.
Mount Their Big Guns.
Eventually the Germans mounted
their 42-centimeter guns. They were
enabled to fire with great accuracy,
thanks to their observation balloons,
although owing to the cold and heavy
rain their operations were sometimes
suspended. The British gunners
brought one balloon down with round
of lyddite, after shrapnel had proved
ineffective.
Ability to hit back weight for
weight was the one Crying need at
Antwerp, whose fate points to one ir-
resistible conclusion-that the day of
forts is over. The supposed impreg-
nable forts proved broken reeds
against the giant howitzers.
One of Brialmont's great works
sank almost bodily from sight in con-
sequence of the cavities made all
around its foundations by the terrific
explosions. The others are shattered
beyond recognition.
Il understand that the British naval
force saved all its wounded and gans.
The Belgian army is still intact"

International News Service.


Ostend.-I was right up on the firing
line near Lokeren when the Belgians
were ordered to retreat from the
trenches and was carried along in the
frantic rush for shelter beyond the
range of German shells. Infantrymen,
jaded, heavily weighted by accouter-
ments, stumbled across the fields, sweat
pouring from their faces, and sank, ex-
hausted, to lie for few moments and
then scramble to their feet and stag
ger forward again as shells continued
bursting around them.
They fought bravely and well. The
trenches were not vacated anywhere
till the rain of German shells meant
sheer massacre if the defenders re-
manned.
In the retreat of the field army
which had been defending Antwerp,
the west, were many soldiers who had
been fighting continually IA days,
snatching hurried sleep on the bare
earth or pavement Hundreds col
lapsed on the march and had to be
left behind at various points, to fol

Germans have not yet reached Ostend.

British Cruiser Hawke
Sunk BY Germans

London.-The British cruiser Hawke
has been sunk in the North Sea by a
German submarine. Out. of a crew
of 400 so were saved. News Of the
disaster is officially confirmed.
The Hawke was scouting in the
North Sea at the time. She was
steaming along when she was struck
almost amidships by the torpedo and
almost torn to pieces.
The Admiralty gave this announce
ment:
His majesty's ship Theseus, Capt.
Hugh Edwards, was attacked by a
submarine in the northern waters. of
the North Sea but was missed. His
majesty's ship Hawke, Capt. M. P.
Williams, was attacked about the
same time and sunk.
The following officers, with forty.
nine men of the crew, have been
landed at Aberdeen from trawler..
Boatswain Sydney Austin, Gunner /.
James Dennis and Acting Gunner
Harry Evitt. The remaining officers
and men are missing.

Her armament consisted Of two 90
inch guns, ten 6-inch guns, twelve six.
pounds, five three-pounders, two ma

complement was 544 men.
The Hawke was commanded by

The Hawke collided with the liner

damage.
The loss of the Hawke makes to-

GERMAN DESTROYERs SUNK BY BRITISH
SQUADRON OFF COAST Of HOLLAND

London.-The situation in West
Flanders and France, as far south
as Lille, seems during the eleventh
week of the war, more hopeful for
the Allies than at any time since
the German advance on Paris was
checked.
The German advances from Ostend
on the French coast towns have been
blocked temporarily, while further
south, in region that was week
ago the extreme German right, the
invaders have been again compelled
to give ground before the Allies
wedge force concentrated on Lille.
Gunboats are being used by the Al
lies in the canals of Flanders, as
well as along the coast.

Won kLuck HAMMERS AWAY.

London.-The German attempt to
prevent the Allies in northern France
from extending their lines to the coast
failed and heavy Anglo-French force
stretching % miles, from Ypres, Bel
GUM, to the North Sea at a point
about, half way between Dunkirk and
Ostend barred the advance of the
Kaiser's army from the Belgian re-
sort town.
The Kaiser is rushing forward 200,-
600 or 100000 fresh troops to the Bel
gian coast The Allies are streng-
thening their left as rapidly as pos
sible.
In the meantime. Gen. Won Kluck's
men are not idle and the Anglo-French
left in the Lille-Ypres region is kept
busy holding its own. The French
official reports tell of the capture of
Leventie, railroad town eight miles
northwe TT of Bethune.
The see-saw movement of the con-
tending troops in the North is well
illustrated by the following news from
Bordeaux, to the French Embassy at
London: "The Germans have ad-
vanced from Audenarde toward
Courtrai. The enemy occupy a line
of defense Meroin-Armentieres Given
chy. To the west of La Basse he is
in contact with our troops between
that locality and Arras. A violent
combat took place northwest of
Lens to Vermelles, which resulted in
our favor. We have taken Hannes-
camps, southwest Of Arras."
In the Mouse region, the French
report the repulse OF German attack
near Malancourt, 10 miles north Of
Verdun. There was little action along
the center.
In an official statement issued by
the German General Stan it was stat
ed that at no point had the French
succeeded in making any important
advances: Where the French have
gained ground was said to be at
points where for strategical reasons
the Germans had withdrawn.
Zeebrugge has been entered by the
Germans. The German flag has been
hoisted ON the whole Dutch frontier.
Zeebrugge is on the coast, 1871 miles
northeast Of Ostend on the steam
tramway that runs along the coast.
1t is the new port of Bruges, con-
nected| by ship canal with Bruges,
already in German hands.
The Allies line in Belgium nov
reaches from Ypres to the North Sea
thus barring German progress toward
Dunkirk and Calais.N
The Government reports, as well
as dispatches to the newspapers,
show that the Allies have gone for.
ward in northern France and in
southwestern Belgium. while the
Germans have continued an unoppos-
ed advance to Ostend.
The German right wing and the
Allied left wing now rest upon the
seacoast The Allied line now runs
from Newport through Dixmude to
Ypres, while Gen. Joffre is steadily
! pressing back the Germans in the
region of Lille.
