EVENING LEDGERPHILADELPHIA, MOJffTJAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1914:.
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.

The new German battle line in the southeast, near the Verdun-Toul line of forts, runs from St. Mihiel, where they crossed the Meuse, past Dompiene,
reoccupied by the French, to the northwest of Pont-a-Mousson. In the centre the French have repulsed their offensive at Berru, near Rheims, regained
Berry-au-Bac, north of the Aisne, and while von Kluk has pushed in near Noyon, and Ribccourt, over the Oise, the French claim to have made gains along
the Oise, north of the Aisne and near the Sommc, and even north of it in the St. Quentin, Peronne, Bapaume region.

wounded. The Gorman casualties aro said
to bo 312.
According to the utatomcnt, tho fight
began on September 2fi. German gun

The morale of tho German defendinfei
force at Klno-Chau Is on tho wane, it
Is leported here. Somo of the Eoldiers
have deserted, escaping by land or sea.
Through them it Is learned that, de
s,ilte the determination of thL Governor
of Kiao.L'hnu to light to tho last, tho
paity which advocates timely surrender
is asset ting Itself. It has found It de

TERMONDE, Sept. 23,
The only battle on In Belgium oh HntUt.
day was south of Termonde, whero th
Ucrmans shelled tho tlclglans.
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.
