BOAT scuTTLED AT osTEND.
Germans Sink Vessel Alongside the ],
Old British Warship virdIctive
and Seal Up Aarbor.

With the Allies Armies in France
and Belgium, Oct. 22.-Before leaving
Ostend the Germans scuttled a large
mail boat alongside the old British
warship Vindictive, which was sunk in
the channel there last May. They thus
made doubly sure that the channel will
be blocked for long time.
Inspection of the city shows that
British shells did terrible damage to
enemy military and naval establish
ments; but did not harm the residence
or bushes sections to any extent. The
only money to be found in Ostend and
other liberated Belgian cities is Ger
man. Many of the smaller children.
especially In Ostend. use German as
their own language. The enemy ap-s
parently went out of his way to teach
his tongue to these children.
