London.-Antwerp and the forts
surrounding the city are In complete
possession Of the Germans. but the
greater part Of the Belgian army has
escaped.
II took the Germans Just IL DAYS to
capture the strongest fortress in the
world
The tall Of Antwerp is evidence that
even the most powerful forts are no
match for the colossal howftzers the
invaders have successfully employed
against every fortified place that stood
in their way. These huge guns open
gaps through which the besiegers find
an entrance for their field artillery and
infantry.
The Germans, after sheiling the city
Itself for many hours. making II un-
tenahle. entered the town through the
suburb Of Berchem. to the east. They
had made a breach In the outer line
Of forts. some Of which were destroyed
by their big guns and others blown up
by the defenders. The Germans fol-
lowed similar plans In dealing with the
inner belt Of forts and At the same
time threw shells into the city, which
set afire many places.
The inner forts. like those further
out. soon succumbed TO the enormous
shells.
A few forts continued TO hold out

The stubbornness OF the Beigians

Parfs.-The Germans made a most
sensational raid with their Taube aero
planes on Paris. Two OF the kaiser's
afr machines swept out OF the north

Paris. Twenty bombs are reported to
have been dropped One Of the first
bombs fell near the Cathedral Of Notre
Dame. while the edifice was filled with
suppliants at high mass. causing \
panic. but no real damage. Another
fell into the courtyard Of the cathedral
at the bishops door.
Two fell into the inner court Of the
Hotel Devflie. in which are the munic-
fpal offices Of Paris; one fell upon the
roof Of the famous morgue. another In
the Rue La Fayefte. and one In the
Faubourg ST. Antoine.
