London, Oct. 20.—The third act of the war in the western theater has reached a critical point. The first act was the German attempt to sweep through Belgium and Northern France upon Paris, with the capture of the, French capital as the climax of an ir- -resistible advance. The second act was the offensive as- sumed by the Allies after General Von Kluck had stretched his army on the, German west wing over a long line of communications that he could not hold. The allied army pressed the German forces back toward the Bel- gian border, compelling the entire line from the eastern pivot of Verdon to recede in order to maintain ‘an un- broken front and a possible line ca retreat. Where the Battle Line Is. The third act is the attempted ad- vance of the Germans along the coast of Belgium and Northern France, ap- parently with the design of establish- ing themselves in the Channel ports from which points of vantage they could menace England. ‘ The extreme western fighting line now reaches from Armentieres through Roulers to Niguwport, on the coast, about half way between Ostend and Dunkirk. According to the French official announcement, German heavy artillery, presumably used in the siege of Antwerp, has bombarded the front |~ from Nieuwport to Vladslo, which is about ten miles from ‘the coast. For New Attack Near Belfort. The announcement that the Ger- neighborhood of ‘Belfort may mean that they plan to attempt an advance on both ends of what in the cas month has become virtually a lon; fortified line. “he German official Spe say that the exodus from Ostend ig-eing rg- peated in the flight of the inhabitants from Dunkirk and Boulogne. While confirmation of the assertion has not been received hére, it is wholly possi- ble that the proximity of the Germans has cregtéd a panic at those ports. Fleet Aids Belgians. The latest Paris report says that at- port and Dixmunde have been re- pulsed by the Belgian army effectually aided by the British fleet. Between Arras and Roye slight progress has been made at: several points. Our troops have reached as far as the wire networks of the defense. In the neigh- borhood of St. Mihiel we have gained some ground on the right bank of the Meuse. Seize Turk War Supplies. London, .Oct. 20.—The correspond- ent of the Central News at Rome says a telegram has been received from Bucharest, Rumania, which says that a German train composed of 150 trucks laden- with munitions and other war material for Turkey, has been stapped by the Rumanian authorities on the railroad between Bucharest and Giurgevo on the Danube: The German government protested, but the train was not allowed to proceed. Mine Sinks Jap Cruiser. Tokio, Oct. 20.—The light Japanese cruiser Takachiho was sunk the night of October 17 by striking a German floating mine while patrolling the coast off the harbor entrance of Kiao Chau, the German concession on the Shang Tung. peninsula. The Taka- chiho was one of the oldest of the Japanese cruisers. It was built in 1885, was of 3,700 tons displacement; speed 18.5 knots and was armed with eight six-inch guns; two six-pounders and fourteen machine guns. When it was remodeled in 1900 four torpedo tubes were inserted. Turkey Still Is Defiant. Constantinople, Oct. 20.—The porte in progress. just- east of Warsaw.

London, Oct. 19.—A dispatch from Rotterdam states that it has been re- ported there from Roosendaal, Hol- land, that the German government of Antwerp has. decided to forego the huge indemnity spoken of at one time in favor of the demand that the city shall support the 15,000 German sol- diers who seem to have -been left in’ Antwerp as a force of occupation. The people of Antwerp are now allowed: to lock their doors at night, the corre- spondent continues, but they must keep lights, burning in their halls. Sank Four German Destroyers. . London, Oct.°19.—The admiralty an- nounces that the British loss in the engagement off the Dutch Coast, in which four German torpedo boat de- stroyers were sunk, was one officer and four men wounded.

Edinburgh, Oct, 19.—Special govern- ment agents raided a factory building occupied by a German firm and ar- rested all of the éccupants. The build- ing, it was sid, dominated the Edin- burgh-Rosyth naval base and the bridgeacross the Firth of Forth. In- sidé of the structure the government ‘officials found a secret wireless tele- graph set of the most powerful char- acter, They also made the interesting discovery that while the factory was -bafe of the machinery that would be necessary for use, it was one of the strongest concrete structures ever built in the city. Germans in Important Port. London, ;Oct. 17.—A dispatch from Rotterdagn says,the Germans have en- tered Zeebrugge, from a _ military point of view the most valuable port on the Belgian coast. To the south- west communication with Dunkirk, France, has been cut. The German flag has been hoisted all along’ the Dutch frontier, Northeast of Ostend the Germans are rapidly pushing for- ward to the coast. Their outposts were seen at Knocke, two miles from the Dutch frontier in the North Sea, The main army from Antwerp is ad: _| Vancing westward. Sink a British Cruiser. London,, Oct. 17.—Another thrust from the German submarine service has robbed the British navy of the cruiser :Hawke and has raised the tally of the list of warships sunk by the Germans to seven. To this must be added the virtual destruction of the cruiser Pegasus by a German war- ship at Zanzibar. The Hawke, a cruiser of 7,750 tons, under command of Captain. Hugh Williams, was sunk in the North Sea, the graveyard of six other warships which were the victims of German torpedoes. It was only bad aim on the part of the German gunner that saved the Hawke's sister ship, the Theseus, and the doubling of the disaster, for that vessel was attacked,’ but escaped. has declined to discharge the German |’ ee ON BLEND COFFEE Same as we have br en selling for 25c, only............ eae 1208 bb. ‘Vanilla Waters. in bulkoniy: : Milk and Honey ie ro eta Loose-Wiles Cracke: aby the box only. - Carload. ‘Northern Red River Ohio Potatoes Ata bargain, get § your winter supply NOW: Cranberries 10c quart, 3 quarts for............
