HUNS IN CONSTANT FEAR
OF BRITISH AIR BOMBING
Neutral Who Has Returned From
Country Tells of Damage
in Rhine Provinces.

LONDON, October 2.-The British air
ministry issues the story of a neutral
resident who has just returned from
Germany with information on the ef-
fects of recent British air raids over the
Rhine provinces. particularly on Frank
fort.
The central part Of the Frankfort
main station was so extensively dam
aged by bombs that trains have not
been able to enter and are being oper-
ated from hastily constructed platforms
some distance from the station. The
population of Frankfort, according to
this neutral, are in a state of nervous
excitement. At the least urIlsual noise
the people retire to their cellars, not
daring to sleep in their apartments.
AS to the moral effect of the raids the
neutral says he heard nothing but the
most depressing talk Of the present con
Gitions in Germany and the prospects OF
further attacks from the air.

WITH THE BRITISH BELGIAN
ARMIES, October 3.-There is no in
dication of any abatement in the on
slaught of the British and Belgian
forces under command of King Albert,
which in little more than forty-eight
hours advanced on a twenty-mile
front to depth of ten miles, assur-
ing the liberation of Roulers, Menin,
Halluin and scores of villages in
France and Belgium and threaten
| ing the enemy's most coveted posi-
tons on the seacoast. For hese he
! may be expected to fight sternly to
the end despite the pressure on land,
a heavy bombardment by British
| monitors from the channel and the
deepening thrust south of the canal
between Handzaeme and Zarren.
Protect Left Flank.
The canal and the surrounding
marshes protect the left flank of the
Belgians as does the Lys the British
right. The swift movement of the
Belgians has been facilitated by
patrols of it's famous cavalry and
cycles which have been in action for
the first time since the days when
they fought against overwhelming
forces to defend their nations neu-
trality.
The appearance of the stout, prac-
teal looking horsemen gave no hint
that they had not been fighting re-
Gently when I saw them on their way
into action or on the march through
the CHASTITY Flanders wastes. They
came with the general and division
commanders at the head of the col
umn, with only a short space between
the squadrons, the line stretching
over the fiat ground as far as the eye
could see, and those in the distance
melting into the darkening horizon.
When they passed close we could
see the brown khaki of their uni
forms, made in the French style
brown helmets with a lions head crest
and the abundance of equipment
which they carried, including even
entrenching tools. Of those farther
| away one could see silhouetted forms
with carbines slung across their backs
The sky line behind them was broken
only by a few fractured skeletons OF
trees long since dead. On either side
was the malarial bog of marshy holes
which it has been Belgium's lot to
hold for four long years.
