LY A ANTWERPIS UNDER FIRE Germans Turn Guns on Belgjn Gity. PEOPLE ARE FLEEING Believed Defending Forces Can- not Repulse Invaders. The Hague, Oct. 9.—Communication with Antwerp is interrupted. The city is known to be under a terrific bombardment from all sides. Following refusal of their demand for the surrender of the city the Ger- mans, who previously had confined their fire to the encircling chain of forts, turned their guns on the city itself. They had given two hours’ notice to the inhabitants to leave and thou- sands flocked out in utter panic. The roads to the Dutch frontier are lit- tered with household goods, clothing and personal belongings of every character abandoned by the terrified Belgians. The procession started orderly enough, but with the booming of the big guns panic followed in the crowds still near the city and they rushed madly ahead. Horses, wagons and antomobiles were utilized for the flight, but there were hundreds who had to walk many miles over roads ankle deep in mnd. Reports from the city itself say great shells are dropping everywhere. Many houses have been destroyed. The Germans claim they have driven the Belgians from both the outer and inner line of fortifications. Capture Many Batteries. They eclaim they have taken four heavy batte fifty-two field guns and many machine guns after cross- Fort Broeckehm, was taken by di- ing the Nethe river. the Germans claim, rect assault after baving been bom- barded for two days. The Germans burned Liere before they crossed the Nethe. It is stated Kin still remains in the city and is directing the def e, although It the hives of the government have been_transferred to Ostend. It is believed half the population of Antwerp has fled. The ships in the harbor are being protected by display of both the Red Cross and American flags, as Consul General Diedrich has taken them all under his protection. It is generally Dbelieved that the Telgians can hardly hold out more than a couple of days at the most. They had considered their Nethe riv- er positions absolutely- impregnable, but they were utterly wrecked by the pounding of the heavy German shells. The Belgians have strengthened their city fortifications by a series of earthworks on which they have mounted heavy guns. The fighting continues with losses heavy on both sides.

Miller, 313 1-2 Second St., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills-off and on for the past four or five yefirs when- ever I have had trouble from my back or kidneys. I don’t know what ‘brought on the complaint umless it was hard work. I had backache and dull pains across my loins and I was bothered day and night. I also had a tired, languid feeling that robbed me of energy and I was caused an- noyance by the kidney secretions. I theard about Doan’s Kidney Pills and as they were highly recommended for kidney and bladder complaints, I got a box at Barker’s Drug Store. They quickly relieved me of the pain in my back and toned up my kidneys. I am a poor hand to take medicine, but when I feel signs of kidney complaint coming on, I be- gin with Doan’s Kidney Pills and they do good work.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Miller had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. —Adv. RUSSIA EXPLAINS ARMY’S WITHDRAWAL Petrograd, Oct. 9.—An official ex- planation of the withdrawal of the Russians in Galicia from the line of the River Donajec has been issued. It was stated that the combined Austro-German army occupied a very strongly intrenched line extending from Kielce. in Russian Poland, south through Serguin to Neu Sandec. It was so strong that to take it by fron- tal assaults would result in frightful losses to the attacking army In consequence the R with- drew to make the Austria accept battle in the open country. The ruse was successful, it is stated, and a new battle is in progress along lines far more favorable to the Russians. The fighting is said to be very se- vere in the vicinity of the Vistula to the north of Serguin. Meanwhile the bombardment of zemys] by the heavy Russian artil- v continues. Great breaches have been made in the walls of the forti- fications while the Russian airmen who have flown over the city report that many houses have been destroyed by fire and that they saw many dead lying unburied in the streets.
