While the German artillery is shell- ing the city of Antwerp, the French and British troops which have been advancing in northern France are fighting furiously to break through the kaiser’s defense and either turn his flank or reach out help to the be- leaguered Belgian city. German troops which were placed across the path of the allies’ flanking movement in northern France, appear thus far to have failed to stop the Anglo-French advance, for dispatches from Paris place the fighting at Mei- nen, Poperinghe, Waerghem, Ypres and other Belgian cities. - Berlin officially announces that the German army under General Von Hin- denburg, operating in Russia, has joined a large body of Austrians, and that the combined forces are engaged with the czar’s army north of the Vis- tula river, near Opatow. FRIDAY. On fire in several places, with its outer forts in the hands of the Ger- mans, shells from the kaiser’s heavy siege artillery bursting in the streets and the besiegers attacking the third line of defense, the city of Antwerp is expected to capitulate at any min- ute. In the meantime fighting of the most severe character is reported in the extreme northeast corner of France and western Belgium, where the Anglo-French army has been try- ing to break through and relieve the . beleaguered Belgian city of Antwerp.

The petition | The long-expected battle between the Russian army of 1,000,000 men, in Poland, and the Austro-German forces of 650,000 under General Von Hinden- burg, is in progress north of the Vis- tula. SATURDAY. Antwerp and the forts surrounding the city are now in complete posses- sion of the Germans, but the greater part of the Belgian army has escaped. It took the Germans just eleven days to capture the strongest fortress in the world. The Germans, after shelling the city itself for many hours, making it un- tenable, entered the town through the suburb of Berchem, to the east. They had made a breach in the outer line of forts, some of which were destroy- ed by the big guns and others blown up by the defenders. In France, according to the French communication, the allies have main- tained their positions in several vio- lent attacks at several points. The cavalry is still engaged along the Bel- gian frentier and across it, each side trying to work around the others wing. SUNDAY. German aviators dropped twenty . bombs into various districts of Paris, killing ‘three persons and wounding | fourteen others. I Government Land Co. to Harry C.

German troops are advancing swift- ly toward Ostend, in Belgium, hoping to capture the city by a sudden attack and make prisoners of King Albert and the Belgian government officials, ‘according to a dispatch from The Hague. German cavalry was signally de- feated in battle for the possession of positions necessary for the crossing of the River Lys, in France. French troops were victorious in a two days’ battle for the possession of the village of Apremont, east of St. Mihiel, and also on the center of the battle line, where they advanced to new positions after having repulsed a | night attack of the enemy. I | ! i 1 i MONDAY. With Antwerp in their hands, the German - army operating in Belgium . has begun a move toward Ostend, the temporary capital of the country, where King Albert is reported to have arrived with that portion of the Ant: werp defenders which escaped to the westward.
