No claims of successes or accumulations of defeat are made in the report. Bombardment of Antwerp. Ant Antwerp so violent has been the concussion caused by the detonations of big German guns that houses 20 miles away were shaken. King Al- bert, at the head of a portion of the Beigian army, fe reported to have marched out of the besieged city, from which the populace in‘hundreds previ- ously had fled in panic. Among_the few neutrals remaining in the city, where not glone shells from tho guns of the Germans, but bombs_from their aircraft are falling, is H. W.

Some distance farther south, near Roye, the artillery and infantry fight- ing continues very sharp. At other points along the battle line the oppos- ing forces today maintained their po- sitions, contenting themselves with desultory firing. The French Colonel Marchand of Fashoda fame is among those report- ed to have been seriously wounded when a splinter from a shell struck him in the leg. ‘While endeavoring to give prompt succor to wounded between the lines during the course of last night, a party of litter bearers belonging to the American ambulance lost their di- rection and approached the German entrenchments. _Several German sen- tries challenged the bearers, who lay down and remained quiet and later returned safely to the allied lines. The Earl of Fitzwilllam, who was born in Canada, is very active in per- forming his duties as a transport staff officer of the British army. He controls thousands of motor cars and horse vehicles of every variety and has been of great service in keeping the field army supplied.

London, Oct, 8, 10 p. m—While the immense ‘armies’ of the belligerent powers of Kurope are engaged in death struggles along lines hundreds of miles in extent in battles which for the numbers engaged, fierceness and stub- bornness have no' precedent in history, the intrepid little army of Belgium is making a last stand behind the forts of Antwerp, one of the strongest for- ed the Avstrians and occupied Bilek, Herzegovina. Russia is said to have refused to Withdraw her troops from northwest Persia, but at he same time advised Persia_that she kad no intentions to take Persian territory. BELGIUM TO RESIST ¢ GERMAN INVASION TO LAST Determination Expressed to Legation at W ‘Washington, Oct. S—Belgium's de- termination to resist the German in- vasion to the end was emphasized here today in a message to the Belglan le- gation to the foreign minister at Ant- werp. The removal of the govern- ment to Ostend, the message sald, was 1, 8ive the gugs of the Antwerp forts “the greatest liberty.” “German troops,” the message says, “having taken the southeast section of the advance line of the defences of Antwerp, have mnow attacked the second line. They can from here bom- bard the city. In order to leave the sreatest liberty the forts covering this Pposition, the government has moved to Ostend.” The plight of the aroused great interest in diplomatic circles. The possibility that the Ger- mans would in the end drive the gov- ernment from Belgian territory forc- ing it to seek refuge in England was Widely discussed. Both at the Belgian legation and the British embassy, how- ever. it was said that King Albert would rule a loval people even in the event that every foot of his territory Was wrested from him and his sub- je%'; m:de ‘wanderers. r.

The Germans had thrown brisade after brigade in front of the allies, but these found adver- saries equal In force. The flanking operations are rendered difficult owing to the proximity of the sea and the day passed without very serious en- counters, The great plateau near Lille and Ar- 1ittle kingdom tified positions in the world. For the moment at least, the strug- gle around the chief port 'of Belgium attracts the' most attention, for the result of the engagement there must have a considerable effect on the big- ger battle between the Anglo-French and German forces, which now extends from the Swiss frontier right across France, almost to the North sea. The Germans who, while attempting to get across the river Scheldt, south- west of the city, made their main at- tack from the ‘east, succeeded some days ago by the aid of their big 16 i guns in breaking through the first line,of forts. Between the first and second belt of forts, according to their own accounts, they defeated the Belgian army and captured a number of guns. Last night shells began to fall in the city itself and, from reports com- ing through Holland, the railway sta- tions, the palace of justice and several oil tanks have been damaged. At the same time six Zeppelin dirigible bal- loons flew over the city, dropping bombs, but it has been lmpossible as yet to ascertain the damage they have done, King Albert has called on all men of military age to assist in the defense of the city. Thousands of others, wo- men, children, and old men, have hur- riedly left Antwerp. Among the few non-belligerents remaining_ are the American consul-general, Henry W. Diedrich, and his staff. The towns of Holland are already crowded with refugees. The mayor of Rotterdam has sent out a warning that_there is no more room there for the harassed Belgians and the steam- ers for England are crowded with people fleeing from the German shells. GERMAN EMBASSY HAS NEWS OF VICTORIES. Two Russian Army Corps Defeated Near Augustowo. Washington, Oct. S8.—The German embassy today received the following wireless from Berlin: “Official headquarters seys that the report of an advance of Russian forces across the Niemen river in the district of Suwalki, Russia, is a lle. The bat- tle took place near Augustowo, where the Germans on Oct. 1 and 2 com- pletely defeated two Russian army corps, made 3,500 unwounded prisonere and took 20 guns, of which one was a heavy battery gun, and a number of machine guns. ~(Here part of the mes- sage was lost in transmission.) “On Oct. 4 German troops threw a brizade of Russian rifle guards from a fortified position between Opatow and Ostrowiec, in Russian Poland, and took 3,000 prisoners and numerous guns and machine guns. On Oct. 5 the Ger- mans attacked near Rudow two and one-half Russian cavalry divisions and parts of the Ivangorod reserve and drove the Russians back on Ivangorod. “Elsewhere (along the Russian front) the movement of German troops for strategical reasons has caused a iull in the fighting. “In France were are gaining ground slowly, but surely, and the situation continues favorable.

WAS OPPOSITION TO JAP WAR APPROPRIATION But Finally in the Interest of Harmony It Was Withdrawn. Tokio, Sept. 18—(Correspondence of The Associated Press).—A few mem- bers of the opposition party opposed the government war programme dur- ing the special session of the Japanese diet, but finally in the interest of na- tional harmony withdrew all opposi- tion, and the war credit of about $27,- 000,600 was voted. The opposition took the form of a remonstrance against Japan submitting to any form of lim- itations at the hands of Great Britain as to what she could or could not do in the war with Germany. It was not in keeping with Japan's national pride, a epeaker said, that Japen should be kept from the South Seas or any other part of the Pacific ocean where her interest as a nation at war might call her. One of the members of the opposition wanted to know whether Japan had Dbeen consulted about the agreement made between Great Britain, France and Russia binding the signatories not to conclude peace without the consent of the others. “No,” sald Baron Kato, “our govern- ment has in no way been consulted. The Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance provides for consultation only with re- gard to far eastern affairs. This, per- haps, was the reason Why we were not taken into council.” The member persisted: “Belgium, which_is engaged in the war, is also out of this agreement. Am I mis- taken in thinking that Japan has been treated as being on a par with Bei~ glum?” 4 FIGHT ON PRUSSIAN FRONTIER CONTINUES WITH FEROCITY.

In other regions there is nothing of importance to re- cord. “In the attagk against the Przemysi garrison, conditions are in our favor, our troops capturing by assault a strong fortification, constituting one of the princlpal positions- “The following telegram has beea received from the commander-in-chief under date of Oct. 8: 3 “‘The emperor, on leaving general headquarters yesterday, ordered the train to stop at Belostok, so that he might proceed to the fortress of Osso- ‘Wwetz, in order personally to thank the Sarrison for their valiant defense of that place. In doing this his majesty found himself very close to the battle front.

Silliman, who left Washington tonight for Mexico City, will follow closely the wishes of President Wilson and other adminis- tration officlals with whom he has consulted during his brief stay here.

Rustem Bey Bel Energi ved to Be Devoting 0. That End. on, Oct. 8.—A. Hassein Bey, formerly first secretary of the imperial Ottoman embassy, has been macde charge d'affaires in the absence of Am- bassador A. Rustem Bey, who left New York for Turkey yesterday. Although the ambassador left Washington be- cause of friction with the state de- partment over statements issued by the diplomat to the press, it is said he will resume his post on his return from his leave of absence. The fact that the Turkish envoy planned his departure some time before the incident with the state department and close relations existing between embassy officials and officers of. an American shipbuilding company has been construed by officials here to mean that Rustem Bey is directing a campaign for a greater Turkish navy. The ambassador protested against the sale of two American battleships to Greece and stated at the time that no matter what efforts to increase her navy Greece might take, Turkey would outstrip her. ‘Washing PRAISE FOR AMERICAN RED CROSS WORKERS English Baron Tells of Skill and De- ion Shown in France.
