LEAVE GITY People of Antwerp Seek Safety, GOES ON DAY AND RIGHT Bombardment of Outer Farts by German Attillery. Antwerp, Oct. 7.—Only the military forces actively éngaged in the de fense of Antwerp are now permitted to go to the front. Many residents have left Antwerp for places of refuge in Holland and Sngland. As far as possible all the vessels leaving, including the fishing boats, are carrying noncombatants. Because of the danger from German fire, no persons are permitted to oc- cupy the spires of the churches, nor the roofs of the tall buildings. The bombardment of the southern and eastern chain of forts continues without interruption day and night. Numors are circulated that several of the forts have been badly damaged, but the war office declares the re- sistance is well maintained. The offi- al announcement says: ‘“The Ger- mans continue the bombardment of the outer ring of forts. They have utterly failed, however, in their ef- forts to gain a foothold at any point. “In a series of sorties the garrison has inflicted great damage upcn the Germans, who have abandoned all ef- forts to carry the forts by storm. Every fort and redoubt is holding out.” Despite this optimistic announce- ment, however, it is known that the pressure is so great that urgent mes- sages have been sent to English and French general s to force the Germans to raise their siege. Belgium feels that the allies can now spare enough fresh troops to un- dertake a flanking movement from| the west coast, which would compel | the Germans to evacuate Brussels| and lift the siege of Antwerp.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 7.—Peter Dudachek of Fort Wayne, Ind., med with a razor, ran a wild race through the central part of Nanticoke and se- riously shed ten men before he was shot down by the police.

London, Oct. 7-—Tn the eastern the- ater of war, the Russian official com- munication from Petrograd asserts, the German retreat continues on the front of Kastern Prussia and adds that the Germans are endeavering to hold their fortified positions along the East Prussian frontier from Wirballen to Lyck. The statement says the Russians up to Oct. 3 had captured 1,000 German prisoners, several pieces of artillery, automobiles and other equipment. The Russian statement makes no reference to the campaign in Galicia or Hungary, but according to Buda- pest advices the capture of Marmaros- Sziget, capital of the Hungarian coun- ty of Marmaros, has necessitated the removal of the government of that de- partment to Huszat, twenty-eight miles northwest of Sziget. A second Russian army threatens the latter city and reinforcements are being hurried up to check the Russian ad- vances, says the Budapest dispatch. Marmaros borders on (ialicia. An official statement issued at Vienna says the situation in Russian Poland and Galicia is favorable, ac- cording to a Reuter dispatch from the Auvetrian capital by way of Amster- dam. “Tha combined German and Aus- trian armis it is officially announc- ed, “have forced the enemy from Opa- tow and Klimontow towards the Vis- tula river. “In the Carpathian mountains the Russians have been completely beat- en at Uzsok pass.” May Draw Germans East. If the Russians win a victory in the east, - English strategists say, they will compel the Germans to divert some of their western armies in that direction and the flank moyements in the west will become crushing attacks, which will crumpile up the depleted German lines in France. If Russia meets with reverses, however, some of the veteran German troops in the east will be released for service in the west, and the Germans may pierce the numerically inferior allied line. Hence the crucial importance of the -| battle on the Russian border. Advices from Petrograd indicate the attle line in the Eastern theater of war is now continuous along the Rus- ian border, the intervals separating armies being compara- . gaps. One correspond- ent says the whole territory along ‘the frontier from Tilsit, on the north- vestern border of Prussia, to Dukla, in the Car hian mountains, bristles with arms. The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Mail says the Mazur lake re- gion, where the German's retreated be- fore the Russian advance in Poland, is one huge armed camp, well adapt- ed for a stubborn defense, both in natural formation and because of its strong fortifications. Kills Wife and Himseif. Minneapolis, Oct. 7.—Roy Rodgers, aged thirty-three years, killed his wife, aged twenty-five years, who had left him, and then killed himself. Rodgers died instantly. His wife was taken to the Eitel hospital, where she died in a short time. Hope From Lincoln’s Address. London, Oct. —The Chronicle prints prominently Lincoln’s Gettys: burg address, with the comment: “This same hope that the present-war will lead to a new birth of freedom animates the people of England to day.” Greece leads the world in the pro- duction of marble, having seemingly. leges presided over by trained women. inexhaustible deposits.

The. sufferings of the wounded are indescribable. Because of the con- stant fighting it is impossible for the Red Cross in a systematic manner to gather: those who cannot reach . the rear themselves. In consequence many-who might otherwise be saved where they fall and bleed to death. Others go insane from their suffer- ings, and the wild screams of some of those on the hospital trains are blood- curdling as they pass through the hospital camps. b R S R R R R R - RECORD ORDER FOR SAD- DLE TREES.
