He sald: “Shortly before I left Ostend a Ger- man officer told me that one of the first things the Germans had done after the capture of the city was to bring in several submarines by ref from Cuxhaven. The submarines were taken apart and foaded on four care— three for the hull and one for the engine and equipment. They found no dificulty in negotiating the rail- roads with these bulky freights, he said. Before I left Ostend I under- stood that already one or more of these submarines had been coupled up and sent to sea. “No more marvellot xhibition of 7 URKISH AND RUSSIAN SHIPS IN FIERCE BATTLE IN BLACK SEA BULLET SPLITS COIN IN OFFICER’S POCKET; HE ESCAPES UNAURT.

The Lieutenant, hot ever, ben. on fulfilling lis task, kept to his course. Suddenly he fell, and his men, thinking he was wounded, picked up tho unconsctous body of | their leader and executed a basty re- treat. The doctor was unable to find a trace of any wound, but he noticed @ toar over tho right pocket of the Neutenant’s trousers. A drink of brandy finally brought Fachringen to consciousness, and as he dazedly thrust his hands into his pockets he drew out some coins, among which was a five mark piece practically cut in two. Two others were mutilated. The bullet struck the coins and by deflecting its course saved Lieut. Fachringen's life. The lieutenant sent the coins home to his family, where they now form a much treasured ad- the system that moves the German army could have been seen than the one I witnessed in Ostend. Noar 9 o'clock at night three uhlans rode into town alone and as they came through the Digue the last of the retreating Belgians disappeared down the other end. The uhlans calmly dis- mounted and fired their carbines at the retreating foe. Then they rode straight to the house of the Burgo- master, who waited, In frock coat and silk hat, to receive them. They acted as if they knew the city well 4 had no trouble finding their way about. “The first regiment followed short- ly, the men singing in chorus.

LONDON, Oct. 31.—A battle be- tween the Russian and Turkish Geets in the Black Sea is in progress to- day off Odessa, according to @ report from Constantinople, via Rome, to the Exchange Telegraph Company. The Athens correspondent of the Daily Telegraph confirms the report that the Russian Ambassador to Tur- key has left Constantinople BERLIN, Oct. 81 (by wireless via Sayville, L. 1.).—"The opening of naval hostilities by Turkey promises to divert the attention of the Russian forces which have been campaigning in Poland, where they were able to concentrate superior forces againat the armies of Germany and Austria.

Berlin claims some advance along the Ypres line. ‘The city of Lille is declared in special despatches again to be free of German troops, and. its hopeful citizens so confident that they never will return that plans are being made to resume the usual civic functions. ‘That Germany has by no means given up its determination to take Calais is indicated by the report from Berlin that the German General Staff has decided that the army in Poland shall fall back and remain on the defensive until the battle in Flanders ends with the capture of Calais. Such a movement would release three or four army corps to be trans- ferred from Silesia to Belgium. Greece is expected immediately to throw in her lot with the Entente powers, and London believes Roumania probably will follow the same course, but Bulgaria preserves a stubborn silence. Roman newspapers say that Turkey threatens Italy’s interests in North Africa, Italy has landed an expedition on the Island of Saseno, which commands the entrance to the harbor of Aviona, in Albania. The increasing confidence of the French is indicated in the unofficial announcement in Paris that the French Government will return to that city from Bordeaux on Nov. 20. Action of the British Government in holding up American vessels on the high seas led to-day to a formal protest from Washington. The im- mediate cause was the detaining at Gibraltar of the American vessel Kroon- land with a cargo of copper. Two of Germany's adventurous roaming warships are sald to have been captured at last. They are the cruis Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, which are reported unofficially from Sydney, N. 8, W. to have been selzed owing to the failure of their coal supply. In the Far East naval activity has been resumed, On the authority ot | the Japanese War Office, it is said that a Japanese squadron succeeded in destroying some of the defense works at Tsingtau, approaching them under cover of a mist.
