GERMANS TRAIN HEAVY GUNS ON ANTWERP TO CRUSH RETGTAN FLANKING ASSAULTS history la being carried on by veterans, who nro hungry and emaciated. Most of them aro feeling the effect, in one way or another, from two weeks of fierce fighting, coming on the top of a 200-mile march. Tho strain of being tinder fire constantly, with the mighty guns of German's heaviest ordnance rlnlng in their cars, has completely changed tho naturo of the men. They nro hardened to blood and carnage and tho danger of death, which Is nt- ways at hand In an Inconsiderate trifle. GERMANS HOLD POINT WEST OF MEUSE, BERLIN STATES BERLIN', Sept. 28. "While still maintaining the position that there have been no really decisive changes at any part of tho l!!"-mlle battle line, tho report of the German Gencml Staff today Is a trifle moro op timistic than anything Issued since the battle of the Alsno began. It stated that there have been dis tinct gains by tho German centre, which has driven the enemy bact; with heavy losses. The armies operating through Varennes have succeeded In forcing the Trench back on Clormont-rn-Alroand on St. Mcnnchoultl and now hold the main highways and tho rail toad lines In that vicinity. On the heights of tho M.usp tho Gr mans continue to maintain their ad vantage and are In strength on the west bank of the river. The bombard ment of tho Mo -" forts south of Ver dun continues with perceptible success, according to tho General Staff. On the German right It Is stated that the fighting Is of the most bitter char acter, with the enemy plainly throwing nil of his available force Into the fight Jn the effort to break through the Ger man line. It officially Is stated that at no point has ho been successful, while at u number of points tho Germans have advanced their lines. Attempts on the part of tho Colglnns to make tt successful sortlo from Ant werp have been frustrated and many prisoners and an armored car have been taken. The olllclal statement follows: "Tho offensive movement of our troops continues without severe chock. Heavy losses have been Inflicted upon tho enemy by our bayonet charge and thoy huvo had to bring up their re serves to strengthen their lines. "At the eastern end of tho battle line. our artillery has silenced part of tho forts on tho Vcrdun-Toul line and we have succeeded In crossing tho Mouse. The passage la being sharply resisted "In the centre we continue to g.vtn, despite the enemy's heavy artillery fire, which Is now showing better aim. "On the west wo have held all the ground we gained, though the enemy has received large reinforcements and Is making counter attacks. These however, have been repulsed." MONS BURNING, THAT THRILLS LONDON, Hept. 23. I Sixteen days of lighting, fourteen In the battle of the Aisne and two in a rear guard action, have failed to bring 'decisive victory to either side in Trance. This was officially admitted at the War Office today, coupled with the tatement. however, that all of the ad vantage remains with the Allies. "While tho censorship is more strict than at any time since the opening of hostilities, It is explained that there are certain evidences, especially on tho extreme left, that the Germans are weakening. The Allies have been heav ily reinforced and aro subjecting the forces of Von Boehm and Von Kluk to Btcrn pressure along the lino from Sols eons north to Mons. In this connection a report tele graphed from Ostend that Mons was burning created a sensation here to day. It is at Mons that General von Boehm established his headquurters when he started south from Brussels with tho main army that was operating In Belgium. His army was assigned to prevent Von Kluk being outilunked by tho French urm. operating from the northwest, presumably Boulogne, where it had been gathered to aupport a new British force, the details of which are still withheld from tho public. If it is trua thut lions actually is burning, It may mean that the British French armies are in strong force and have raided the German communica tions far north of the point where up to the present any fighting has been reported. Tho English people are plac ing great hop s on this report, but It 3s not confirmed from any source that carries official weight, and intend for IS REPORT GREAT BRITAIN the last few dn has been a most un reliable rumor factory. More significant than anything elo. however, are tho clrcumstuntlal reports received hero from Belgium source that an epidemic of typhoid and allied diseases has broken out in tho ranks of the German army, and that thelt horses are suffering from glundois These t sport" came from so manv sources that they are generally cred ited. The worst cuses are in the valley of the Dendre River, near Termonde. whore it is reported TOO men have ' ready died of typhoid and other infec tious diseases. The military exports say that disease can be expected at this time now that the wur has been In progress eight weeks. The rivers of Belgium and Trance have been utilized by both sides to get rid of dead men where there w as no time to bury them. Then the cold rains, which have now prevailed for more than two weeks, have added to the difficulty of gathering the wounded. Many bodies remain unburied, putrefy ing in the water sheds of tve rivers. The suffering of tho wounded as tho result of the weather conditions is fear ful. Those who cannot drag them selves to places of shelter simply die where they fall, as pneumonia follows In nearly every instance. In addition, wounds that ordinarily would be clean now get filled with mud, and infection follows am a matter of course. In this respect it is stated thut the Germans have suffered far more than the British or French, who have main tained their field hospitals at full strength and have rushed their wound ed will into the south immediately after first aid has been applied.

Tho Belgians held their ground tenaciously under n heavy, woli-dlrecttd lire and then retired steadily through Audcgm toward Termonde, completing their retirement at midday. Two hun dred shrapnel shells fell In tho vlllags of Audcgm. 1 reached Termondo nt 10 o'clock Sat. tirdny morning and paced through th shattered town, Into which the Germans occasionally sent a howitzer shell. 1 proceeded toward Audcgm at 10.25 o'clock and watched the German gun tiers achieve their object of shattering the tower of tho such at Audcgm. One moment tho splro was shrouded In whit Binoko, tho new moment It had dltan. pearcd, leaving nothing but a dccrenlt ruin. VK A mile and a quarter this sldo of Au. degm the Belgians faced about at 1 o'clock, when i enforcements began to nrilvc. An armored motorcar, four mounted gendarmes and one or two ex. traordlnarlly hold cyclists ventured Into tho vlllugc. Following these I reached the farther side ot Audcgm. Hero tho motor caught six Get mans napping. Its mltralllcust dealt faithfully with them at a distance of COD yutds. It appeared that tho German forcci contented themselves with approaching tho outskirts of Audcgm. This Informa tion, given by a pcusant, was confirmed by tho fact that tho pockets of dead Belgians lying thero had been cut out and nil their valuables taken. This both Grunt, JJnlley and I saw. SHOTS FILL STREETS. The road through tho vlllago w&t" strewn thick with shrupncl. I picked up a double handful In less than CO yardj. The German gunners had evidently cured tho range to an Inch. It Is mar velous that tho Belgians escaped so lightly. Hardly had tho Germans disappeared than mnny villagers began to appear cautiously In the streets, collecting frag ments of shell and shrapnel balls. They wcio ns phlegmatic as the Belgian bohllers, who aro imperturbable In all circumstanced. f Soon after the motor car nnd Its mitrailleuse had talked sharply to the Germans, tho Belgians made an advance In force on tho right. A regiment of lancers galloped through a field to a position west of AVespelnnrs. It wa suppoitcd oa quickly as possible by In fantry, while an Infantry attack, sup ported by nitlllcry, developed against Wespelnars Itself. The range was very short and the bat tory thoroughly sciirched the village, carefully avoiding tho rather lino church towering over the cluster of little housei. We could henr tho crash of shrapnel on tho ted tiled roofs. For n few minutes Wespelnars disappeared, then reappeared mumentailly In the white clouds of smoke. In tho face of tho terrific ball the Ger man lesistancc was feeble, but behind Westpelaais was a thick woodland hiding Lobheke fiom view. Lebbekc was known to be strongly occupied b the German, Sunset, too, wns approaching. Content, apparently, with tho sround thoy bad won, which was no Inconslder nblc niea, the Belgians left the German undisturbed, to scud an occasional shell into Termonde. rEATPRHS OF FIGHTING. Two distinct features of tho flghtlnl weie lmpiesslve to the spectator. The contest wns ninost exclusively by shrapnel. The Geitnuns attained a tern potaiy success by Its use nnd the Bel gians won their victory by Its aid. IUlle Plajcd a small part in, the nil-day con diet. Tho other feature was tho uncanny silence. From the moment tho Belgians ceased letreatlng to the timo their at t iek opened on Wehpeln.tr it ai almost disconcerting, although it wns an agree able sensation fioin one viewpoint As a conseciuenee of tho lack of ambu lances, the three motorcars nnd tho news, paper coriespomlont present were able to lender conilderable assistance to tho Bel gian wounded. On our it-turn to Antwerp wo learned that tho Belgians hud letaken Aloal, U miles west nnd a littlo noith of Biuscols, at the point of the bajonet nnd ith great gallantry. This was a suilous Mbw to the (ormiiiM and similar .successes npp along the whole Belgian line.
