It is apparent that this German force is bent on turning the rear of the Belgian army which evaded bottling up in Antwerp. [All reports from Antwerp declare that the main field army of the’ Belgians, which had been brought up to defend the city, avoided the German trap and marched out defore the citadel was surrendered. It has also been reported that King Albert was at the head of this army, and the opinion was expressed in London that the Belgian troops would attempt to form a junction with the allied armies of France and England, {The Queen of the Belgians is reported to have passed through Folkesstone from Dunkirk last night, proceeding to London.) St. Nicholas is five miles from the Dutch frontier and twelve miles southeast of Antwerp. If the Germans are successful in cutting off the retreat of the Belgian army to the west of Antwerp the Belgians would either have to face battle in. the open country, or be interned in Holland if they fled across the Dutch border. . The despatch states that the Germsns erossed the Scheldt on a pontoon bridge, overcoming heavy opposition by Belgians. Official German Report * Of the Surrender of Antwerp BERLIN, Oct. 10 (via wireless to London).—Complete occupation of the city of Antwerp by the German forces was announced in the following statement issued by the War Office to-day- A “Antwerp is in our possession. We have had control of the city since yesterday afternoon. A few forts remain in possession of the Belgians, but.our occupation of the city itself is complete.” . The statement continues that the fact that some of the forts are still in the possession of the city’s defefders will “not prejudice Germans in their occupation of the city.” THE HAGUE (via London), Oct. 10.—Antwerp surren- dered to the Germans at 2.30 o'clock P. M. Friday, Oct. 9 after a siege of ten days. The war flag was removed from the cathedral and a white flag raised in its place at 9 o'clock A. M. The actual surrender took place five and one-half hours later. The German artillery fire which had’ poured into the city was stopped as soon as the white flag was hoisted.

Oratava, Jamaleasresceacace 17, My ! : LONDON, Oct. 10.—The battle line fm France ts now so long, forming es ft does a rough curve 360 miles long, from Lorraine to the Belgian frontier, that the battle of the Aisne and the operations before Antwerp had be- come practically one and the same thing. At least they had become so closely knit as to be, from the mill- tary point of view, inseparapie. The hope of the allics to deliver a crushing blow against the German army in France before the occupation of Antwerp by the enemy is now, of course, @ thing of the past. The Ger- Gen. von Kluck, apparently te still intact, and the official communication gtven out in Paris last night recorded no change in the situation, merely emphasising that there was sharp fighting in the region of Roye, nearly 100 miles south of the northern extremity of the fighting line, where opposing bodies of cavalry were clashing almost with- in aight of the North Sea, In contrast to the rapidity with which the Germans have conducted their campaign against Antwerp the tide of battle is flowing slowly in France. The engagements in the Woevre Aistrict, according to the statements of wounded soldiers who have been brought back from this territory, continue to take the form of The German trenches in the Woevre have been constructed in two lines, one behind the other.

Charles I. of Roumania, who was seventy-five years old, died in. the midst of a grave crisis in his country, Yet his passing may mean the ending, of the critical situation in Roumania, which was brought abotu by his de- termination to support Germany tn the present war, A member of the Hohenzollern fam- ily, Charles was chosen when twenty- seven years old to become the ruler of Roumania. His reign was a successful one up to the time that recent troubles began in the Balkans. In the Balkan war against Turkey Roumania remained nefltral, but took part dn the fighting of the allies that followed, Then when the Archduke Ferdi- nand wae assassinated and Austria delivered her ‘ultimatum which re- sulted in the declaration of war on Servia, Roumania promptly leaned toward Austria, In the lat part of September King Charles ked the Cabinet to order @ mobilisation of the Rouma- t which one of the Min- , SAILING TO-DAY, quite willing if It {s against see T0A.M, ply of the King was: + 12M. | word.” “The country knows no Hohensoll- for Murphy.

The renown of Prince Charles a spread, and four years later, out of cannon he had captured at Ployna the Rumanian people cast him an fron crown. With consent of the Powers they placed it on his head in 1881 From this time on King Charles was universally acknowledged the leader of his adopted people and the King- dom of Rumania became a factor in international politics.
