From Ostend to Zeebrugge
Foe Built Continuous Fortress

Belgian Army Headquarters in
Flanders, Oct. p. (Sunday)-(By
The Associated Press)-When the
Germans withdrew hastily from the
North Sea shore of Belgium, they
left behind a series of Notifications
all the way from Zcebruggc to Nieu-
port.
The entire shore is one coutinu-
Gus line of redoubts, reinforced con-
crete dugouts, trenches and barbed
wire entanglements with gun pits
about every fifty yards.
The Germans carried off most OF
the guns, but they retired so hastily
they had to leave a large number
behind. The German abandonment
OF the Belgian North Sea shore was
thorough and deliberate in the vicin-
ity Of OStend where they left behind
little of their material. The haste OF
their movement increased, however,
from Blankenberghe northward.
Zeebrugcg is city of barbed wire,
steel and ruins. From the break
water to points about mile inland
there were five lines each OF from
four to five rows OF barbed wire.
There also are dugouts and block
houses craftily camouflaged.' Two
huge guns still stand guard over the
breakwater, pointing across the sea
toward England, but the breeches
are gone.
At the center OF the entrance, to
the docks lie two British ships sunk
by the British in the gallant action
OF last June. The job was thorough
" done, the entrance being COM
pletely blocked except for about ten
wards on either side where the Ger
mans had sunk two small sloops The

unrepaired breakwater remains as
proof OF the further success OF the
British foray into Zccbruggc.
Belgian Army Headquarters in
Flanders, Sunday. Oct. a. (By
The Associated Press)-Thc road
from Ostend to Zcebruggc, which
the Germans recently held, is one
continuous fortress with many
guns silhouettcd against the sky.
The number of guns increases as
the fortified line nears Zeebruggc.
The Germans evidently meant that
this line should be a permanent one.
One concrete block house, 90 by 81
feet, remains unfinished and there
are other evidences that the Ger
mans started work on new fortihca-
tons as late as one months ago.
The town OF Blankenberghe, be-
tween Zeebrugeg and Ostend, is vir.
tualv undamaged, but deserted. AN
the buildings have been stripped oi
copper and iron.
Ostend has suffered much. The
casino is desolate and empty and the
walls have been tiddled with shell
fire. The maritime station is com
plete wreck. Many houses have
crumbled to the ground and most
OF the bridges in the town have been
destroyed.
The fact that not all the bridges
were blown up by the Germans Is
explained by an alderman OF the cry
who said that the German genera
staff had given orders to destroy al
the bridges, but that German non
commissioned officers detailed toi
the work of destruction fell easy vic-
tins to persuasive 100 or 2OO-marE

PARTISAN TALK IN
SENATE AS DEMOCRATS
CALL NO QUORUM

Washington, Oct. 3l.-Senate
democrats upset republican plans
for bringing up questions OF peace
and politics today by raising the
point OF no quorum and forcing ad-
journment until tomorrow.
This program had been agreed up
on by the democratic steering COM
mittee. to be followed daily until
after the elections unless the re-
pubicans in the meantime consent
to the recess over the elections,
which they have blocked so FAR.
Twentv-one democrats voted for ad-
iournment, and twelve republicans
against it.
Senator Brandegee OF Connecti-
cut, republican, insisted upon a roll
call, saying he desired to place the
democrats on record as opposing a
discussion OF the presidents recent
political letter and the peace notes.
81 wanted to show to the country
that the republicans are here and
ready to transact business, he SAID.
"The democrats will not attempt to
adjourn for three days at a time,
for such a motion would be debat-
able. and under it we could discuss
the presidents recent political &C
tivities, so they have taken the meth
Cd OF adjourning each day to shut
off a discussion OF political affairs"

that senate sessions without a
quorum in town would only inter
