members have Joined the Board of
Trade during the past three DAYS.
according to reports issued by the
board headquarters yesterday oven
ing. Fifty-two new ones were turned
III by the campaign teams yesterday
at the MONDAY luncheon at the
metropolitan cafe This report was
partial one. 1t is expected that at
least hundred more will be reported
this noon.
The campa 'gners are well satisfied
with their work during the week. but
they still believe that a few hours ad-
ditional work will increase the show
ing almost double. A last and supreme
effort will therefore De made today
ir every section of .the. city. This is
cleanup day" and every business
and professional man of Brunswick
who has not already signed mem
bership blank will be given a chance
to affiliate himself with the Board of
il8de some time during the next -
hours.
Dues Are Low
The dues in the Board of Trade are
only S. per annum, thus enabling ev-
cry solvent man in the city to join
The board stands on it's record of
achievements during the past IS
months in bidding for new and addi-
tional support in the business com
munity. 1t has brought several CON
Germs to the city within that time and
has in other ways helped to make
Brunswick a livelier city.
Pleased with Results.
II am more than gratified with the
showing made by the membership
teams during the past three days"
said Mr.. A. w. McKeand, the expert
commercial organization worker who
ls assisting the local board in the
present crisis. The response to the
boards appeal for more financial sup
port has been generous, and I believe
that still more men are ready to join

Everybody in Brunswick is in the
same boat" continued Mr. McKeand
"All have a stake in the progress and
prosperity of the city. All should
help to assure this growth and pro-
gress by affiIiating with the central
business and civic organization of
the city and community. No fair
man wants to prosper through the ef-
forts of others alone. Brunswick
ought to do as well in proportion to
its size and commercial Importance

GERMANY MUST KEEP AN
OPEN DOOR INTO FRANCE
Offensive Movement Now Progress
ing Against Inner Ring of Forts
Around Antwerp-only Hope Lies
in New Troops.

London, Oct. S.-All eyes today are
turned to the devoted city of Ant
Werp, whose fate is regarded here as
important out of ali proportion to the
numbers of men engaged In its attack
and defense. Germany must not only
keep an open door into France, it is
argued here, but she must be prepar-
ed to close the back door to Essen, a
most important German. military cen
ter, in case the ,ong and stubborn
hight of Gen Won kluck commander
o. the German right wing, ends in
disaster.
The war has pre- jented no pictur
of greater desolation than that of the
hosts of refugees fleeing from the last
6elgian stronghold. Throngs of ci.i-
Zens OF Antwerp, dumb With terror, rs
TIE huge German shells hurl over
their heads with the rior OF an ex-
press tram, are fleeing toward Eng
and and Holland in such numbers
that the hospitality of those countries
Is likely to be taxed to the utmost
The flight Of these refugees has been
accelerated by the appearance over
the city of Zeppelin airshlps drop
ping destruction and death
Jhe only ray of hope from the al
hes standpoint is found in the news
that the almost exhausted garrison
o. Antwerp has been reinforced by
resh troops and more guns.
Up to the present time only one
great German siege gun has been
brought into play and that piece OF
artillery is fired only at infrequent
intervals. Guns half the size of the
destroyers of Liege and Namur are
be used In the work of batterlhs
the rings of forts hich surround Ant
werp.
Both sides confirm the report that
the Germans have succeeded in cross
ing the river Nethe, but the trenches
along the river Scheldt are still hold
ng against their determined attacks.
The German offensive movement is
forts and Berlin reports the capture
il the open field of four heavy batter
les, 81 field guns and as many ma
chine guns.
AS the net Is drawn tighter about
the city the EFFORTS of It's defenders
are redoubled, many of their sorties
have been marred by sanguinary
bghting.
According to formal notification
sent into Antwerp by the German
commander the active bombardment
OF the city is now under way. This
is confirmed by refuge,e to Ostend,
who can hear heavy artillery firing.
In northeastern France, IN the al
hes left wing, the main positions of
the contending forces now reach with
in 10 or l5 miles of the Belgian Dor
der while beyond these polnts masses
y cavalry continue the Sling q over
the frontier line and into 'cium
Along the greater part of the front,
however, the antagonists seem con-
| tent to watch each other without at
tempting any definite movements.
| New German electives have appear
ed in the Lille district and the strug-
| gle, now known as the battle of the
Three Rivers, may decide the French
campaign.

to the fact that he had swallowed his
Adams apple and his teeth wouldn't

A scouting movement was organic

for action, the cellar was visited,
where, after considerable maneuver-

ments repulsed them.
The battle is no longer of machine
like strategy of two armies, but is a
contest centering in the powers of en-
durance of two bodies of human be-
ings.
The terrific nature of the fighting
is Geen from the fact that French
company started the war with 1870
men and a full complement of officers.
Since then the company has received
324 men in drafts. Today it is com
posed of 80 men led by a sergeant.
Official announcement was made
known today for the first time of the
vast numbers Of Germans facing the
allies. The kaiser has nearly 2,000,-
900 men in the field The number of
allies facing the Germans is believed
almost as large.
