ANTWERP TAKEN BY - GERMANS Last Belgian For- fress Surrenders, KING ALBERT AND HIS ARMY HAD LEFT CITY| Big Guns of the Invaders Caused Immense Damage fo His- toric Town. L K R + Notre Dame, tillery fire, into the city, panied by Alderman man besie, made unconditional B A A R London, Oct, 12.—Realiz has surrendered. The great cathedral of Notre Dame, built in the Thirteenth century and renowned as one of the most noted specimens of Gothic tecture now extant, has been damaged. The defenders had mounted rapid firers on the roof of tha structure, despite the warnings of the (ermans that if it was used for military pur- poses it would be bombarded. Two-thirds of the population had left the city before the surrznder. King Albert had led out of the beleaguered city all the Belgian army except the few artillerists necessary to man the guns of the Antwerp forts, When the surrender of the city was decided upon the retreating troops blew up the famous fort of Merxem, | north of the city, to prevent its being used in future operations by the Ger- mans. Few Forts Still Holding Out. A few of the inner ring of forts are| still occupied by Belgian troops, who are keeping up a desultory fire against the German forces. The city itself, however, is under German domination and it is only a question of time un til all the forts are silenced. Their continued resistance will have little effect on the Germans. [t is not known in which city the Bel gian capital will now be established, hough dispatches earlier in the week announced taat all the depart- wents of government were at Ostend There is no disguising the fact here that although Antwerp's fall had been regarded as an ultimate certainty its surrender so early in the bombard ment was not regarded as likely The German coup may have a se rions effect. upon the morale of the Relgian troops. already akened by the destruction of so many stronz holds. The Belgian legation here insisted it had received no official word of the snrrender of Antwerp and s there. fore inclined to doubt the announce- ment.

The ma- harajah of Jaipur, head of the Kuch- hwaha ¢lan of Rajputs, gave a trans- port train for use in moving expedi- tionary forces. NEXT BLOW TO BE AIMED- AT ENGLAND London, Oct. 12.—The correspond- ent of the Express in Paris sends the following: “The immediate objective of the German army is no longer Paris, but { the channel ports. To sum up the German plan—the first blow at Paris having failed, the second blow. must be aimed at England. “The new lineup of the opposing | forces means that Northern France is | destined to suffer a desolation similar to that already visited on Belgium. All of France’s rich cities in the north | have been marked for certain destruc- : tion and ruin. | “The French general staff is still | confident of success, but it is recog- | | | nized that there can be no decisive victory while the masses engaged are so enormous. It is possible to hope for defeat of the enemy’s plan only if | there can be a constant stream of re- | inforcements.” WOULD ESCAPE FUTURE WARS Flood of Immigrants Will Follow Res- toration of Peace.

These were reluced in a couple of Czys by the aid of the big slege guns. = Meanwhile the forts at Lierre and Koningshoyckt also had been attacked and these and others of the outside line of fertifications were taken last week. The last few days has seen tho fighting advance to the inner line of forts and along the Scheldt, principal- ly at Schoonaerde Zeppelin bomb attacks, which did rich damage and killed scores of pecple, added to the terror of the inhabit:nts. Antwerp suffered terribly from: the bombardment and the losses among the civilian populaticn have been heavy. The city was crowded, mot only with its normal population of more than 300,000 perscns, but also with other thousands who had sought refrge there.
