LONDON, Oct. 10.
German forces stormed Antwerp's
Inner defenses yesterday and the city
surrendered at 2:30 o'clock.
The Belgian gnrrlson, excluding
those left in the few forts remaining
In Belgian hands, Is reported to have
Joined the main forces west of the city.
After the departure of the Belgian
troops Burgomaster Do Vos wns left
In charge of the city, and he con
ducted negotiations with General von
Beseler, the German commander. The
German bombardment halted as soon
as the white flag was hoisted, and
after an exchange of messages the
Burgomaster and the general met at
Burchem Gate.
The Burgomaster agreed to surren
der unconditionally. The German com
mander accompanied him to the Town
Hall. A tew hours later the Germans
entered.
The Burgomaster posted notices to
the remaining residents of the city
that Germans should not be attacked.
No attempts at sniping have been
made.
Unofficial reports state that the Ger
mans succeeded in penetrating the city
through a breach In Fort Broechcm
and theh'ce between Forts No. 2 and
No. 3 of the eastern line of Inner forti
fications. Reports similar to those
reaching the War Office were received
at the Belgian Legation, but it was
stated there that no official confirma
tion had been received.
The War Office admitted today that
the city had been evacuated yesterday.
It Is understood that some of the inner
und outer forts are still holding out,
but they cannot resist long. The
etimigest forts were those first at
tacked by the Germans' 16-inch guns.
They fell, and the fate of the weaker
forts will be the same.
The hope that Antwerp can be re
taken by the Allies Is voiced by Colo
nel Replngton, military expert of the
TlmeB. Ho says there is no reason
why the Belgians should not join the
Allies hacking their way north of
Arras.
A concerted attack on England will
follow, It is believed. The first great
German plan, the captuie of Paris, has
failed, and the Germans now are enter
ing upon their second objective. This
Ib a series of blows at the English
Channel littoral and the seizure of
ports In northern Belgium and north
eastern France.
An atempt to invade England may
follow, the ftrsC hostile move of such a
meagure since Napoleon contemplated
It more than a century ago. German
troop movements and the vigorous at
tempts to reduce Antwerp without de
lay indicate this strongly.
British reinforcements, perhaps Ca
nadian troops, are reported to have
landed at Ostend, where Belgians also
are reported to be in considerable
force. Fighting may be expected In
that district, as an unofficial dispatch
states that German Uhlans have been
seen south of Ostend.

The War Today
Antwerp has surrendered and Ger
man forces control the city, although
a few forts still arc In Belgian hands.
It now Is believed that an attack on
England will follow, 'with Antwerp .as
the base of German operations.- The
famous Cathedral of Notre Dame is re
ported badly damaged by the German
fire.
Germans have retreated 13 miles
along the Turcolng-Armentleres line In
northwestern France, according to Un
official Paris dispatches, and the Kai
ser's forces' at Lens have been driven
eight miles nearer Belgium The
evacuation of the Lillo district by the
Invaders Is reported also. The cavalry
engagement on the Belgian frontier
continues.
Russians captured Lyck nnd Marg
grabowa in their new ndvance into
East Prussia. Petrograd reports that all
German troops have been expelled
from the province of Suwalki.
Servian forces which captured. towns
In Austria have been driven back across
the Drlna. The main Servian army
has suffered a severe repulse near Its
objective, Sarajevo.
At Tsing-Tao tho Jnpanese sank
four German war craft and posted
siege guns for immediate attack on a
mountain commanding the city's forts.
Turkey's early entry Into the war is
expected. Young Turks, aided by Ger
man agents, have conducted an anti
Russian campaign. German officers
have strengthened the Dardanelles and
Bosporus and inspected the Turkish
army.

M'ABOO REBUFFS
HENRY'S PROPOSAL
TO FAVOR SOUTH
Secretary of the Treasury
Says Cotton Is Not the
Only King in the Present
Situation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo today addressed an
open letter to Representative Henry, of
Texas, characterizing the Henry plan for
cotton relief as utterly Impracticable. The
Henry plan proposed that the Government
lend $500,000,000 through the Southern
banks to the cotton farmers at 3 per
cent. Interest. Mr. Henry said that the
Secretary of the Treasury could sell Pan
ama Canal bond3 for th purpose of rais
ing this money.
Mr. McAdoo- declared that he could not
sell Government bonds at any re&bonable
rate at the present time, and that, more
over, he cannot favor one section of the
country. He pointed out that the banks
have been able to take out emergency
currency, and that there Is ample funds
with which to meet all necessities.
REBUKES HRNRY.
Mr. McAdoo said.
"I cannot believe that tins is true. You
have been a member of Congress for 17
years, jou are the head of Its powerful
Committee on Hules, which determines
what legislation may be especially con
sidered and advanced by the House of
Representatives. If you think the neccs
sary "legal authority' can be had. why
do you not prevail upon Congress to
give It?
"Is It not because the Congress itself
thinks the constitutionality of such legis
lation is open to the gravest doubt, and
the policy of it even more questionable?
Is It wise to Issue 100,000,000 of Govern
ment bonds and greenbacks, merely to
lend on cotton when tobacco, naval stores,
copper, silver, lumber and other things
have been hurt by the European war.
AH have applied to the treasury for re
lief. If we disregard eveiy suffering In
terest except cotton and mak It the sole
beneficiary of governmental favor, what
becomes of the Democratic principle.

CARDINAL FERRATA,
PAPAL SECRETARY,
DIES AT VATICAN
Prelate, Who Was a Con
spicuous Candidate in Re
cent Conclave, Succumbs to
Peritonitis.
ROME, Oct. 10. Cardinal Domenlco Fer
rata, papal Secretary of State, died at
1:30 o'clock this afternoon.
The Cardinal was stricken with appen
dicitis shortly after the recent conclave,
where he had been regarded as a promi
nent candidate for the papal throne.
W hile he scented to recover from the ail
ment, It developed into peritonitis, nnd
early today It was noted that a relapse
had come and that tho condition of th3
Vatican statesman was extremely critical.
Pope Henedlct sent his final blessing
when notified of the change in the Cardi
nal's condition and the imminence of
death.
Cardinal Domenlco Ferrata, secretary
of tho Congregation of the Holy Ofllce,
whom the new Pope Benedict XV ap
pointed Secretary of State, to succeed
Cardinal Merry Del Val, Secietary under
Pope Pius X. had a diplomatic influence
such as comes to few of the colleces of
cardinals. He had nlna.vs manifested a
friendly disposition towaid the leading
statesmen ol Italy and the reigning
House of Savoy, ills choice as secretary
was pleasing to the Italian Government.
The Cardinal was for six sears p.ip.il
signalized not merely by a suspension
of the liusttlitlet of the French Govern
ment against what is denounced as clen
callsm. but even by a tort of friendly
understanding between the republic and
the Papacy. It was the general belief that
If Cardinal Ferrata had . remained as
nuncio at Paris, and if he had, later been
appointed secretaiy of state, the Con
cordat would be in existence to this day,
and that the Roman Catholic Church In
France would never have been disestab
lished. Cardinal Ferrata represented the
Papacy also In turn at Berne and at
Brubsels, putting an eTid to the dissen
sions which, until then, had embittered
the relations between the State and the
Roman Catholics in Switzerland and In
Belgium.
The Cardinal was 67 years old. He
was the Pdpal Legate to the World's
Eucharistlc Congress on the Island of
Malta in April. 1913. and on his return

Lafayette Team at Franklin
Field Equally Eager to
Land Top Honors of Con

By EDWARD R. BTJSHNELL
FRANKLIN FIELD, Oct. 10. Encour
aged by the easo with which Franklin
and Marshall's doughty football team
trounced Pennsylvania a week ago. the
Lafayette eleven came to Franklin Field
this afternoon determined to do the
same. The Quakers, stung to despera
tion by last week's reverse, were Just as
determined to make Lafayette suffer in
their climb back among the leaders. The
Pennsylvania coaches sent their team
forth to battle confident that It would
play twice as good football as It did last
week, yet not underestimating tho
strength of Lafajette
In addition to furnishing a battle be
tween two trams which have been play
ing each other almost from the begin
ning of football iaa, there was staged
a struggle btitucen an instructor and his
pupil. George Brooke, the Pennsylvania
coach, taught Wilmer Crowell, the Laf
ajetto coach, nil he knows about foot
ball when the two were coach and player
at Swarthmore. It was the second such
game staged on Franklin Field this
j car. for in the first game of the season
with Gettsburg that team was coached
by (J'Urlen. who was Crowell's prede
cessor In the quarterback position at
Swarthmore.
The Lafayette eleven reached the city

followed a little later by several hundred

When the Athletics took the field at 2
o'clock this afternoon ugalnst the Braves
their countenances were marked by a
grim determination to wipe out the stain
of yesterday's defeat. The Braves ap
peared confident as usual, believing that
Stallings team would again prove equal
to a strategic move that would bring a
record victory to the National League
champions.
For the second time in two days the
prophet proved that he was correct, for
the announcer megaphoned to the eager
crowd that the batteries for today's
game would be:
"For the Athletics Plank and Lapp.
For Boston James and Gowdy."
This announcement met with the com
plete approval of the rival factions in
the stands, who demonstrated their sat
isfaction both verbally and by hand
clapping. "With a left hander in the box
Stallings uses Mann to play in right field
and to lead off In place of Moran. His
other change for this contingency is
Cather in left for Connolly. During pre
liminary practice all of these gardeners
took turns at fielding.
Connie Mack hnd no chances to an
nounce In his line-up, with the exception
of the battery.
There was a noticeable difference In the
atitude of the fans today toward the
Boston players. Where they watched
them yesterday with more or less con
tempt, they saw In them today a club
which had humbled the Idols, hence there
was a species of reverence in their con
sideration or the enemy.

j ATHLETICS FIRST OX FIELD.
The Athletics were the first on the field
again today, but the Braves were Just
behind them. Barry, Murphy and Bush
were the first three out, followed b Old
ring nnd Muiphy. From their actions in
early practice tho bitter pill of defeat
was good medicine for the White Ele
phants. The pep that made them three
times champions of the world was ap
parent in every action.
Boston's crew- also went at their prac
tice In snappy fashion. Their easy vic
tory of yesteiday apparently hnd not
made them overconfident. Bressler went
on the mound to pitch for batting prac
tice and he was given a long round of
cheers.
An hour before the game began stand-
in
room was at a premium In the bleach-
era. Even the Somerset street fence be
hind the stands was occupied by men
and boys precariously perched on its top.
Two advertising Mqns on the tops nf
houses also were occupied carlv by fans
who clung to them like monkeys. House
tops that wore too far awa yesterday
to be thought worth while by the fans
were occupied today.
Faith in the reserve power of the maul
ing Mackmen was apparent in every howl
from the bleachers.
MORE WOMEN OUT THAN YESTER
DAY. Women were more in evidence today
thnn yesterday. Many of them in the
bleachers carried cameras and amateur
photographers were In evidence all over
the park. One amateur took a half
dozen pictures of the white-clad worker
who was giving the final touches to the
bags on the diamond. Somebody told
him that the man In the field was not a
Plajer. The photographer must have
been from Boston, for he expressed him
self thusly:
"I am perfectly awaie of It."
The band reached the park shortly
after- 12 o'clock. It was a Philadelphia
band, although It has heen planted along
side the Boston dugout.
While Its members were tunins up their
Instruments the fans noticed that even
the most lively bit of music carried a
lugubrious note. Tho fans took up the
plmntive wall In derision, and after a
little while the musicians cheered up and
opened UP with solid ragtimi. blares
There was some little excitement In the

usher got Into a dispute The usher said
that four seats had bec-n reserved
