Von Kluck and Von Boehm PARIS, Oct. 19 (United Press).—Reinforcements released through the fall of Antwerp, it is announced here, reached the extreme right wing of the Germans just in time to prevent the hasty retirement of the armies of Gens. von Kluck and yon Boehm. Military headquarters here continue increasingly optimistic. Tt is be- lieved the entire German strength has been tried and has been found wanting. The proposed second attempt on Paris by way of the seacoast and the rich valley of the Seine is now expected to be abandoned. There is no doubt that in the last seventy-two hours the allies have turned the tide of battle very much fa their favor. Following the fall of Antwerp there were grave fears that the allies might be forced to give con- siderable ground. But the Germans held back for reinforcements and the French general staff was able to withdraw large forces from certain por- tions of the line where they could br jared and rush them to the threat- ened points in the vicinity of Dunkirk. Dunkirk was spared an attack from the southeast and a combination of | sthe German Belgium army and that of Gon, von Boehm vas prevented. Keports from German sources that Belfort is being attacked by a strong German army with heavy siege artillery are declared here to be without foundation. It is believed here that the army of the German Crown Prince is being steadily forced backward in the direction of Stenay, and if sufficient pressure can be applied it is believed here that the centre will have to fall back to escape annihilation. It is believed here that the Germans will be compelled to evacuate St. Mihiel very shortly, as the French advance {s proceeding steadily near that polnt—the most advanced of the German positions on the right. The French armies operating from Nancy and Toul continue their efforts to penetrate the Valley of the Moselle, the objective being Metz. | Operations are hampered by the heavy rains and cold weather. All of! the roads have been badly damaged by the transport of heavy guns and supply trains and are difficult of passage, while the ficlds generally are bogs through which men and horses flounder, Automobiles forced to leave! the highways become mired. British Troops Stop Von Boehm, Save Dunkirk, London Reports LONDON, Oct. 19 [United Press].—That the British forces have again straightened out the line of battle in France by hard fighting is admitted to-day. That, it is stated, is the real meaning of last night's announcement tat the Germans had been driven back thirty miles. The British, by a eéries of heavy engagements in which the fighting was continuous, have prevented Gen. von Boehm's army from attacking Dunkirk from the south. The Germans, following the arrival of their fresh reserves a week ago, pushed their line steadily westward from Lille to St. Omer. Because of Qe weight of numbers, it was necessary for the British to fall back. When St. Omer was reached they were reinforced by two French armics and another driving movement was begun which only ended after Armen- tieres, thirty miles to the eastward, had been occupied in force. The allies are now oack to their original line extending almost due th and south from the vicinity of Ostend through Armentieres to Arras, is will compel the Germans who are operating from Ostend and moving Inst Dunkirk to make direct frontal assaults against a line that is now id by a very strong well intrenched Belgian-French force. © There is much satisfaction over the success of the British forces in this movement. It is reported here that the Indian forces saw their first eérvice in this manoeuvre and that they covered themselves with glory. The general situation is described at headquarters as “constantly im- proving.” At every point where the British have been engaged they have succeeded in gaining ground and they are co-operating at all times witn their French supports, which include the hest of the active French first Mae troops. ~ The Rotterdam correspondent of the Daily Mal! wires that it is reported \from Berlin that the Germans have succeeded in crossing the Belgian border /elongaside the coast and that they are now only ten miles from Dunkirk. The correspondent adds that the Germans are accompanied by heavy slege @uns and that it is understood an attack on the Dunkirk forte will soon in. <e is stated at the War Office that no reports have been received which Would indicate that the Germans had crossed the French frontier. bs > - British Navy Now in Contact With the Left Wing of the Allies LONDON, Oct. 19 (Associated Press).—By reaching out to the sea- board the allied forces have established close contact with the British navy, which now holds the extreme left of the line and seems—from the London view—for the moment, to block offectively a further German effort te turn this wing. ‘That the Germans may have grasped this !s perhaps indicated in the otherwise unexplained appearance of four of their torpedo-boat destroyers @@turday off the Dutch coast southward bound, It is suggested that the was for the destroyers to convoy submarines which would dispute command of the sea on the Belgian littoral. Should the German navy undertake this venture {t would be confronted with much the same proposition as has met the British fleet since the com-4 {? mencement of the war, and !t would assume the same risks of colliding wtih mines heretofore faced by the British alone, because the British mine| ™; field stretches along the Belgian coast from Ostend southward. Observers here think the climax cannot be far off and the London Papers are quoting approvingly, though not in the sense intended, the words attributed to Emperor William, who, in addressing his troops some where in France on Oct. 3, 1s reported to have said: “Before the leaves fall from the trees here we shall all be back tn the dear Fatherland.” That {t is quite probable that the Emperor never gave expression to this opinion, does not detract from its value in the British sonstrustion: STEEL WORKERS NEEDED TOO MUCH TO PERMIT THEIR y VOLUNTEERING FOR ARMY.

British naval forces are reported to have joined in the movement with the allies who are making a determined stand on the Belgian frontier against the westward drive of the German right wing. The exact battle line’is not known. This afternoon's official French statement says that the German artillery has attacked without success the “front of Nieuport to Viadsloo, to the east of Dixmude.” ‘The allies have advanced as far as Roulers, and there has been sharp fighting on a front from La Bassee to Ablain and St. Nazaire.

SEIZURE BY BRITISH OF AMERICAN SHIP MADE AS PROTEST Sale of German Vessel to Standard Oil Regarded as Ef- fort to Evade War Rules, WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—President Wilson had not been, officially in- formed to-day of the seizure of the American tank steamer Brindilla by @ British cruiser, but told callers he was following the case with interest Generally speaking, the President said, a ship of a neutral nation, bound from one neutral port to another, is exempt from acizure. Ho added, how- ever, that ho did not know enough of the particulars to say what position would be taken by the American Gov- ernment. The attitude of the British in the cage of the Brindilla—the first to arise since the outbreak of the war—is based on provisions in the Declaration of London, which has been generally accepted by all the belligerents as the @ulde for procedure in the maritime Questions brought up by the war. Article 56 of this convention con- tains the following: “The transfer of an enemy's vessel to @ neutral flag effected after the outbreak of hostilities 1s void unless it ie proved that such transfer was not made in order to evade the conse- quences to which an enemy's vessel, as such, is exposed.” barding Lille may have referred to events prior to Oct, 13 and been delayed in transmission from France to London, There is nothing from Berlin to reveal the position of the Germans that are contending for the coast line.

They regard its sale as an effort to evade the conse- Quences of the war; that is, the owner of the vessel, confronted with a situ- ation where their vessel must lie idle for an indefinite period and bring a loss instead of a revenue, sold her to the Standard O11 Company, The State Department here has known for some time that this would be the British position and has not encouraged those who proposed the purchase of German ships caught in American ports by the outbreak of war. The procedure in the case of the Brindilla will be for the veasel to be tried before a British prize court, probably at Halifax. There is little doubt but that she will be condemned as a German prize and disposed of accordingly. The burden of proof that she was not sold to evade the consequences of the war rests qn the vessels, and It 1s doubted here if her owners can satisfy the British prize court that the sale was not of this character. Therefore an adverse decision Is ex- pected. The Brindilla was formerly the Washington, owned by the Deutsch- Amerika Petroleum Company. After her sale some weeks ago she was transferred to American registry. HALIFAX, N. S., Oct. 19.—Just what plan would be pursued with regard to the American tank steamer Brindilla, selzed by the British nux- {llary Caronia and brought here yes- terday, could not be learned to-day. The Brindilla remained anchored in the harbor to-day. The military guard which was placed on the steamer yesterday remained aboard and, far as known, none of the Brindilla’s crew has as yet been al- lowed ashore. The American Consul- General at Halifax held no communi- cation with the officers of the ship. The matter of the Brindilla’s seizure and detention here is in the hands of the Prize Court officials, and the Naval Department at Halifax has now practically nothing to do with the ship. ‘The Brindilla still files the Stars and Stripes over her counter and will continue to do #o unless the Prize Court finds the ship to be legally a prize of war. There were no Prize Court proceedings to-day. The offi- celal inquiry may require two or three days before action is taken, — ‘Special for Monday QNE WAFERS — Thin, Srige dana st of Golden Molasses embedded with of = tasty teva Ste aD someness Which SEABATTLE WON BY BRITISH SPEED, Fishermen Say German De- stroyers Tried Vainly to Flee— Outclassed Also in Gunnery. LONDON, Oct. 19.—Superlo# speed won for England Saturday’s na‘ clash off the Dutch coast, when four German destroyers were sent to the bottom by the crulser Undaunted and her accompanying flotilla of des- troyers. The first story of the battle was brought here to-day by the crew of the steam trawler United, which wit- nessed the fight. Tho German destroyers were on pa- trol when they were located by the lookout of the Undaunted. The Ger- mans put on full steam and fran- tleally attempted to escape, But they were no match for the crulser or the British destroyers, which had from three to five knots advantage in speed, According to the crew of the trawler, the British flotilla had no difficulty in rounding up the Ger- mans. The latter were complotely outclassed as marksmen. The British craft quickly got the range, while nearly every shot fired bv the Ger- inana went wild. The whole engagement lasted leas war craft all at the bottom of the sea, the British rescued the fow sur- vivors who were floating in the | water. BERLIN (via The Hague), Oct, 19, —It was officially admitted to-day that 193 men, including practically all of the officers, were lost when the British crulser Undaunted and a flo- tilla of four British destroyers sunk four German destroyers off the Dutch coast. The destroyers which wero sunk were all built and put into commis. sion in 1903, They were the 8-115, S-117, 8-118 and 8-119. They were each 210 feet long and of 413 tons dispiacement, and were armed with three four-pounders and two machino guns each, The surviving members of the crews, said to be thirty-one, are held by England as prisoners, TEST ELECTION LAW CLAUSE ON RESIDENCE Two Held in $1,000 Bail for Regis- tering From Union Headquar- ters Instead of Homes.
