Hundreds were car- ried on litters, while those less severe- 1y wounded. hobbled on canes and crutches, supported by Red Cross nursos, doctors, nuns and priests. ..

The soldiers guarding the docks opened fire on the aeroplane and cohtinued the fusillade for tem min- utes. This created still greater con- sternation among the thousands of women and children, many of whom sat for three days.on the cement r of the great terminal sheds, with nerves at the breaking point. No Escape by Land. . Pscape is cut off from all sides by and thousands were &till gathered serably on the docks when the last yelief ship left late this afternoon. No steamers ve Ostend at night be- cause of the er from mines. Stiil the crowds remained. on the biers, ‘where they will pass another anxious h¢ awaiting the dawn and more ships. Aeroplane Over Harbor. Even the refugees who managed to find deck space on the crowded trans- ports were not all relieved of the ter- riple ‘strain under which they had been ‘laboring, for the watchful Taube flew over the steamers, caréfully ob- serving their movements as they sail- ed out of the harbor. The aeroplane did not drop bombs, however, as one of them had on previ- ous days, when both civil and military hos) s were so narrowly missed by exploding shells that the Belgians charged that the Germans were alm- ing at the hospitals. A Horrible Nightmare. Last night was a horrible nightmare to the residents of Ostend and the thousands of refugees fleeing before the German invasion. Wounded sol- diers were brought here by the score from Ghent. It is reported that they Were d Monday near Ghent in a serfous battle with the Germans. The allles are said to have had a small force against a large German force and were obliged to withdraw toward the west. Consequently there is virtu- ally no obstacle to tae German advance on Ostend. Firing Heard in Direction of Ghent. Firing in the direction of Ghent was beard plainly in Ostend on Monday and Tuesday. The terrified refugees who were at the siege of Antwerp blanched as they listened to the bom- bardment and increased the fear among the residents of Ostend by de- scribing the horroms of that fallen Portress. Business Houses Closed. ‘Moat of the business houses in Os- tend closed yesterday and professional men, merchants and hotel keepers join- »d the throng which dared not leave the waterfront for fear of losing their places in the ever-growing line of men, women and children, clamoring for a thance to escape. Had Money But No Bed. AN taxicabs and cab horses in Os- lend were taken by the army long ago, 30 there was lit{le means of trans- portation. The tram cars were com- deered by the hospitals, and civil- 8 had little chance to ride. . The ho- fels near the quay which remained pen were crowded with refugees who d money and who begezed for the ¥pportunity to rent even a chair. No Government of Any Sort. Practically no government of any rort remains at Ostend; the departure 3 King Albert and military left only tivil guard and policemen who were tempting to preserve order, but there s lack of direction, as the burgomas- ier, head of the municipal government, 1as left also. Women and Children Trampled On The crowds mass about the gang- ways of the vessels, making the work >f embarkin~ the refugees more diffi- wult. Women and chiidren are tram- dled in the stampede as of frightencl wnimals as every rumor. Bundles of slothes, trunks and bags are stacked srervwhere in confusion, preventing fe free movements of the crowds. “Women and Children Firs! “Women and children first,” is the announcement _the ship officers make in Flemish and French as the gang- ways are lowered. This rule has been enforced for several days, but with the greatest effort; women cling to their husbands and other male rela- tives, deflantly blocking the gang- ways. All attempts to persuade the refugees to drop their bundles and hasten aboard the boats are unavail- ing. “It is all we have left” was the pitiful reply of an and infirm woman staggering under heavy lug- gage. Rich and Poor Huddled Together. Ostend today is amazingly unlike the gay Atlantic city of Belgium which formerly attracted most of the fashionable pleasure seekers of the world. The shutters are closed on the great hotels facing the splendid bath- ing beach. Rich and poor resi- dents of Ostend and refugees of all classes from the interior of Belgium, huddled together. But there are cars which afford comparative comfort to many of the women and children, whose only food for days has been bread and coffee provided by the com- mittees which are attempting to keep doswn the hunger of the people, in spite of the fact that all the::slnlgy activi- ties have been susp A low even read -{s ‘becoming very scarce, 3 Relief Boats Crowded. - The rélief boats to Folkestone are so crowded and hurried that they have little time to consider the question of meals, and frequently they are unable to offer even a cold lunch to the refu- gees crowded into every available inch of deck space. Marked Attention for Wounded Sol- AP diers. % Marked attention is shown the wounded soldiers by the.refugees who gather about the litters on the docks and on shipboard, offering. cigarettes, chocolates and any other delicacy which the almost-exhausted lunch buskets afford. - Many of the soldiers speak only Flemish, while their nurses know only FEnglish or French, and must rely on refugees to understand all three languages to make known the wants of the sufferers. Americans Not Numerous. The American consul, Henry A. Johnson, has the affairs of the allies under his charee and is on the docks day and night assisting his charges. Americans are not numerous at Os- tend, but a few have been coming in daily from Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges, GERMAN AND JAP;{‘ESE ENVOYS MET OCT. 14.

Vi- viani, the French premier. expressing the gratitude of the Belgian govern- | ment for the welcome accorded to it by the French government. “Belgium,” he added, “which has sacrificed everything for the defense of honesty, honor and liberty, regrets nothing. She has the confidénce aris- ing from the knowledge of a duty ac- complished and the certainty of the triumph of the allies’ cause.” Premier Viviani replied: “The gov- ernment of the republic is proud to extend its hospitality to the noble and valiant nation which is sacrificing everything for its honor and for duty and which has rendered such signal ) O — e e | T service to a common cause. I am sure that the close union of the allied nations will ensure the deflnite tri- umph of justice and right.” 5,000 TONS OF STEEL TO MAKE BAYONETS Ordered at Pittsburgh by Representa- tives of the French Government.

I have heard that “Yankee German Right is Being Bent Back TOWARD LILLE AND COURTRAI IN NORTHERN FRANCE TO THEIR STRONGHOLD Where Heavy Blow Which Will Bring e Result Will Be Struck— From Russian Zone Both Warring a De Factions Claim Victory. London, Oct. 14, 9.30 p. m.—While it is fully expected that the Germans will reach Ostend and other ports in the northwest of Belgium, if they have net done so already, they will be met with a very stubborn resistance in their at- tempt to extend the right wing of their main army through Pas De Calais to the French northern ports. They have, in fact, fallen back in this region in the face of the allles’ offensive. A few days ago the German cavalry were fighting as far west as Haze- brouck and Cassel, but today, accord- ing to the French official communica~- tion issued this afternoon, the front of this battle extends from La Bassee through Estaires to Bailleul on the Belgian frontier, while across the bor- der the allies have occupied Ypres. Gaip for Allies. This is a very distinct gain for the allies and shows that the German at- tempt to work around their left has failed, the German right being bent back towagd Lille and Courtrai, both of which places the invaders hold with strong forces. It is here that the heavy blows which both sides hope will bring about a decisive result in the long drawn-out battle will be struck, and it is for this reason that the Germans will be able to make their way to Ostend, al- though even there some troops have been left to inflict what damage they can before joining the larger body fur- ther south. The censorship has prevented any mention of the operations to the north of Arras which is probably responsible for the belief_ that the allies have pre- pared what one military critic declares is “a slashing blow, which, the longer it is delayed, will be the more crushing in its effect.” Nothing from Left Wing. Of the recent fighting elsewhere, the French communication simply sars that the operations are proceeding nor- mally on the left wing as far as the Oise; that tHe allies’ progress in- the Berry-Au-Bac region is confirmed, and that on the right wing there is nothin, new. For the first tioie, however, t French general staff takes notice of and denies some claims put forth by the Germans. It is denied that two French cavalry divisions have been destroyed and it is asserted, on the other hand, that the aviators’ with the French cavalry inflicted heavy losses on the German cavalry. It is also declared that the Germans have not come into touch with the fortress of Verdun and that attempts to do so have failed, while in their effort to traverse the Meuse at St. Méchiel they were out- flanked. Counter-Claims in Eastern Prussia. In the eastern theatre the Russians on Oct. 13 successfully pressed back the German forces on the left bank of the Vistula, along the road leading from Warsaw to Ivangorod, according to an official communication issued by the Russian general staff. Fighting continues to the south of Przemysl, Galicia, says the statement. There are important changes on the other fronts. , An official announcement given out in Vienna says that the Austrian troops advancing towards Przemysl have repulsed the encircling Russian troops in such a way that the enemy is now able to maintain his position only before the tern front of ths fortress. It is #aid that during this fighting several -military bridges over the San broke down during the Rus sian retreat and many of the Russians were drowned. Fighting continues east of Chyrow, Galicia. Servians Repulse Austrians. From Nish, Servia, comes the offi- clal statement that on Sunday night the Austrians made two attacks on the extreme right wing of the Servian front between Svornik, Bosnia, and Losnitza, “Servia.
