That two of tho Belgian forts at

Issued hero today. It also declares
about 2000 Russian officers, Including
18 generals, have been taken prisoners
by tho Germans.
The statement follows:
"German artillery has silenced two

"The great battle in France Is still
undecided. The Germans aro hammer

RIDES OF TORTURE
FOR NERVE-RACKED
VICTIMS OF STRIFE
The operation of the Allies and the German armies in France has now become interlocked with the German
campaign in Belgium, where the investment and bombardment of Antwerp is proceeding vigorously, though the
Germans are reported to have moved their Imidquarters from Brussels to Namur and to have bridged the Meuse
between Givet and Namur with a number of pontoon bridges so as to keep their line of communication open
from the field of battle in France. . There, while criicial bulletins give few details of any material changes in the
position of the combatants, the German right, under von Kluk is believed as being slowly forced back to the Bel
gian frontier, from his former position on the Aisne and Oise. In the centre the German line is fairly steady, while
the French claim to be making a steady gain in the Verdun-Toul-Nancy district. Officially little is given out, but it
is believed in London and Paris that the advantage lies with the Allies, who on the left are believed to have reached
the Belgian frontier between Lille and .Valenciennes. Stiff fighting is going on in the centre at Juniville and on the
left at Roye.

The lire of the German siege guns upon
the Antwerp forts Is being directed from

but each time the aeroplane has been

The bombardment of the southern

interruption. Under cover of last night
tho Germans moved a number of their
guns closer to the city.

The attack on tho Belgian forts by tho

sult of a severe check they received near

The following statement was issued at
the War Offico tuday.
The situation shows piactlcally no
change. Tho German guns havo foiled
to reduce tho forts and tho ninntle of
the Belgian troops Is good, despite tho
fact that the enemy Is trying to de
moralize them by aerial attacks.
Tho Germans have been forced to
discontinue their Infantry attacks be
cause of heavy losses Incurred in their
abaultb on our entrenched lines. They
ar receiving rclnforcemonts, howevor.
and apparently intend to attack In

The artillery duel that Is now pro.

thus far. A number or guns that the
Germans advanced within cosy range
of our forts havo been silenced.

"Tho German. naval policy Is of neces

theio had not been a naval battle of

"It Is not up to our fleet about half

continued the Count. "The English lleet

Red Cross Unable to Proper
ly Care for Wounded.
Hospitals Overcrowded
and Relief Trains Inade
quate. PAItlS, Oct. 2.
Tho Bed Cross and nllled Institutions
of mercy havo been swamped by the
vast number of wounded soldiers from
the great battle of tho Alsne. Early In
the conflict Paris was overwhelmed by
the constant stream of wounded men
that flowed In from the north and east.
Hospitals were established In tho suburbs,
but those wcro filled Immediately, and
now all of Bouthern and western Franco
Is full of stations for the care of the
wounded. Thoro Is n constant call for
doctors and nurses.
Many wounded British soldiers havo
been sent to England for treatment, but
a large number of them wera hurt so
severely that they could not stand the
Journey.
Judging from tho casualties of tho first
week of the gigantic engagement, It
would bo safe to estimate tho losses of
the Allies to date nt moro than 100,01.
Ot these, tho greater part were wounded,
but many classed ns wounded have died.
Tho greater part of tho wounded are
brought southward by night. There Is
little place In a great war llko the pres
ent one for tenderness, so that most of
tho soldiers aro brought from the front
In cattlo cars, on couches of blood-soaked
straw.
In some Instances oidlnary freight
cars are used. The floor Is covered with
straw to tho depth of two feet. Tho
wounded nre then arranged In the car
nnd tho door Is locked. Theio Is little
nlr and no food or water. Only a few
trains are accompanied by surgeons, be
cause their services nre needed too
badly ot the front. Sometimes a smoky
lantern, that elves off a stench of oil nnd
but little light. Is hung in the car. Often,
however, tho cars aro In total darkness.
At times, owing to a change of posi
tion or a movement of nitillery, the
freight trains filled with wounded are
shunted about upon sidetracks for hours,
each sudden Jerk of the train sending
pangs of torture through the fever
racked bodies of the victims.
Tho sights witnessed at the destination
of one of these rhnrnel tialns, when the
doors are cast back and tho Bed Cross
nurses begin to carry out the shattered
passengers. Is too painful to be remem
bered. Here Is one man with his head
bandnged In a bloodsoaked lag nnd who.
In the parox)sms of pain has burrowed
his face Into the filthy red stiavv; here
Is another with a shattered arm or leg
which shoots razor pains through his
body nt every movement of tho train;
hero Is anothei with a bullet In his body,
his lips black and 'his eyes gluzed with
the him of death. Among this groaning
caigo lies one who neither moans nor
moves nnd to whom tho battle shout nor
tho thunder of the cannonade brlng3 nny
disturbance. He has paid his measure of
devotion to his country and his life was
the consldeintlon.
The doctois have been amazed at tho
stoicism of the Tin cos. who aio lighting
with the French. These wild, battle-loving
wnrrlors seldom give way to emo
tion, no matter how badly they havo
been hint.
Many French families havo thrown
open their homes to the wounded. An
intei estiug contrast is piesented by tho
sight of seeing a ditty, bearded soldier,
his bandaged bod) covcieil with a torn,
mud-caked blood-clotted uniform, car
