LONDON, Oct. 9 (Central News Cable].—A new British! ! grmy is advancing toward Antwerp from the north of France, where it united with a French force at (name of town stricken out by censor). The British forces mentioned in the despatches from Antwerp Wednesday as co-operating with the Belgians are believed to be the advance guard of this army. The desper- ateness of the German assaults on the Belgian fortress is ascribed to thcir knowledge of the approach of this army and their effort to accomplish the downfall of the defenders be- fore the reinforcements arrive. Rumors of this new army have becn heard in London for nearly a week and the German cavalry raids, which have reached virtually to the north coast of France in the last few days, are thought to have encountered it, as no allied force of which definite knowledge has reached the public, has been operating so far north. | Belgian King Escapes Fran. Leads Army From Antwerp LONDON, Oct. 9.—Confirmation of the report that King Albert had (ed a large part of the Belgian army out of Antwerp and had thus foiled the Germans in their effort to ‘bottle up” the Belgian field forces, causes much jey in London. A report from Ghent says the King and his army left Antwerp before the Germans had forced their way across River Scheldt, and perhaps just in time to avoid being forced to retire into the city. It is said the Belgian troops reached Selzaette, a village near the Dutch border, yesterday. This village is 25 miles from Antwerp. One report is that ‘the King will proceed with his troops to Ostend, the new tempo- rary capital. Another is that he will form a juncture with other Belgian troops and continue to harass the Germans. \ Still another conjecture is that the Belgian forces will join the Allies [if they have not already done so] and aid them in the big battle now in progress in the north of France, where help is sorely needed. London believes that, with the escape of King Albert) and his army, the object of the German bombardment of Antwerp has failed. If, as reported, the King left only enough troops to man the defenses, the capture of the city would be of little military value. \ London has no fear of Antwerp's use, if Germany cap- tures it, as a Zeppelin base. Germany already has a Zeppelin} base at Cologne, only a few hours distant aerially, from Antwerp. The city is not ayailable for use as a naval base, |, because of necessity of passage through neutral Dutch waters. The Amsterdam correspondent of the Reuter Agency, in a despatch filed this afternoon, says: | “The uninterrupted thundering of guns at Antwerp was heard in Rosendaal throughout the night.

The bag was found to contain six gold watches, some chains and small pieces of jew- elry, later identified as part of the plundered stock by Saresky's son. Forty watches valued at $800 were taken from Saresky’s store. Abraham Morris, driver of an auto- mobile which has its stand in front of the Little Hungary restaurant on East Houston street, was arrested late this afternoon a! identified by Gaskin, the “squealer,” as the one who had driven the bandit car to and from the scene of the robbery. Saresky's place of business is what is known as a half-store, with only one show window and the door ad- jacent to It. He has no clerk and is behind the single long counter alone all day. Yesterday a young fellow came into his store and bought a gold-washed mesh bag. -To-day at 12.15 o'clock he reappeared, accom- panied by a larger and older man.
