GERMANS ADVANCE ON GHENT; ALLIES AT OSTEND Continued from rue One banks of the .Scheldt nrc resisting i energetically. A large German force is movlnp? on Ghent on Its way to Ostond, where British anil Belgian troops are massing lor n determined stand. Strong Hrltlsh Reinforcements nrc said to have ar rived. Part of the Uritlsh and Belgian troops which defended Antwerp Is re ported safe at Ostend, while at least S000, the rear of the retreating army, were cut off and forced across the Dutch frontier. The first move against Ostend was a desperate effort to cut off the Uel Blan army, which fled westward from Antwerp when It was seen that the city was doomed. The Germans threw a pontoon bridge across the Scheldt River at Watteren and sent a largo force northward In hope of getting between this city and the Belgians. However, In conducting that enter prise the Germans weakened their de fense of Brussels and camo I- contact with a hetvy force sent to relieve the Belgian troops At last reports fight ing was golnR on, with success on the side of the Allien. In their advance against Ghent, the Germans got as far as Loochristl, which Is only about five miles from the eastern suburbs of Ghent. The attacking forces, under a hot fire from machine guns and light artil lery, were compelled to fall back about eight miles to Lokeren. At the same time an attacking column, which was moving against Ghent, south of the Scheldt, was attacked near Mclle. The Germans fought gamely, but had to give ground and retired, leaving a bat tery behind. The occupation of Lokeren by the German forces was un important move for the Invaders, for Lokeren la a point of strategic importance. A detachment of Uhlans had a brush with a squad of Belgians near Quaetricht, southeast of Ghent, and were compelled to flee. But the Ger mans sent forward a heavier force with artillery and attacked Melle, which caught on fire and was partially destroyed. The Belgians then retreated toward Ghent. , The next target for the monster Krupp apd Austrian siege guns that demolished the forts around Antwerp Is expected to be tho fortresses at Verdun, which have stood In the way of tho German advance along the Meuse valley In eastern France. The gigantic cannon, which reduced the Antwerp forts, already are on their way to France. If, as believed, Verdun Is their des tination. It will be at least a week before tho siege artillery can be ranged befdre the Verdun forts, as the guns and ammunition have to be trans ported more than 2!5 miles across Bel gium and western Germany. On account of the strength of tho French forces along tho Meuse and the nature of the country around Ver dun, the Germans may not be able to get their heaviest siege guns In a po sition to shell the forts. At Antwerp, Ltego nnd Naliiur the German troops were not opposed by heavy forces of men, and the artillery in those works was not ns heavy as that In the Ver dun forts. Fighting Is In progress around Roye, Albert, Lnsslgny, Bapaume and points north of Lille, on eastward past tho Belgium frontier. The fiercest fight ing during the last stages of the great battle has centered around this region. There Is not an acre of ground in the whole area that does not show traces of the violent struggle. Albert, which was first regained from tho Germans. Is n heap of ruins. Only the clock tower remains. Roye suffered an uninter rupted bombardment for n fortnight nnd no longer exists. Lasslgny, which was the point of the wedge which the Germans were trying to drive through the left wing of the Allies, is baattered and smoking. There have been sn days of fighting over the great battle lino, which has now taken on the rough form of the letter "Z." Cavalry activity on the Belgian bor der, around Ypres and farther to the west, still continues. It is a question how many German soldiers the fall of Antwerp will re lease for the operations against the Allies' left in France. This army was at first estimated at from 200,000 to 230,000. but subsequently the figures were reduced. All thp railroads running into Bou logne have been cut. DUEL OF ARTILLERY RAGES ON VISTULA AS CLASH Austro - German Forces Checking Russian Forward Movement Progress in Advance Toward Warsaw. VICTORIOUS GERMANS MOVE ON GHENT, BERLIN REPORTS BERL1X. Oct. 12. The General Staff reports that a very strong garrison defended Antwerp. At first It defended the city with great energy, but fled in full rout after an attack by a German infantry marine division, it is stated. Among the gar rison troops was one British marine brigade. The complete breakdown of the Anglo-Belgian troops is shown by the fact that no military author ity could be found with whom the surrender could bo negotiated. Tho number of prisoners taken Is not yet known. Many of the residents who fled to Holland have returned. General von Heavier, the German commander at Antwerp, has re ceived tho Order Pour La Mertte for his services. IJe issued a proc lamation Baying nobody would be harmed unless hostile aefs were committed, and private propertv would be spared. Italian papers, th Corriere de la Serra and the Seampa. reports re volting atrocities by French Sene galse troops. The german press emphasizes In ar ticles on King Carol of Rumania the political ability of the great states- I'ETttOOnAD, Oct. 13. Beyond stating that the operations of the Russian troops were proceeding sue cctsfully against the Germans in Bast Prussia and that an artillery duel Is rag ing between the Russians nnd Austro German armies on the Vistula the Rus sian War Ofllco mnlntalncd silence as to the situation today. Owing to the meagroness of news, duo to secrecy made necessary by the opera tions against the allied forces concen trated in the c'racow-Breslau-Thorn region, It is believed that tho movements along the Vistula ore rc.ichlng a decisive stage. It la apparent that a peculiar sit uation has developed In Western Russian Tolanil. On Friday German artillery began op erating between Sandomlr and Ivungoroil on tho Vistula. The latter fortress Is 60 miles from Sandomlr nnd 5G mites south cast of Warsaw. The Gel minis ore thus penetrating Russian territory south of Warsaw, wlillo the Russian are sulking at German territory north or the roiisn capital. Winter Is coming on much earlier than usual this year. Already the weather Is int.-nselv cold and the first snow has al ready fallen. Although light thus far. Its appearance this early Indicates that the conflict In the eastern theatre of war will bo waged under enormous difficulties vltliln o very few weeks. The attitude of the Poles In Oalicla and Fast Prussia is entirely favoinble to the Russians, It Is stated here Grand Duke Nicholas' proclamation of Polish an tinomy has hnd the effect of attaching to the Russians thousand of Poles who haw lieen of grent help in tin- campaign against tho Auitrlnns and Germans. Thi Polish soldiers In the Russian army havo won hlph praise from their com mander. They showed great bravery In the battle of Augustowo.

It is stated that last week's return of the Rclchsbank shows an Increase of 641,000,000 marks and a decrease of I 232,000,000 marks In the specie notes in i circulation. , Defeat of French cavalry by Ger i mans in a battle on Saturday at Lille, France. Is announced In an ofllcial statement Issued at midnight. It re ports also that tho Russian attacks in tho eastern theatre of war have been repulsed. i The statement follows: i Gorman cavalry on the evening I of Saturday completely routed a French cavalry division west of Lille and near Hazebrouck (28 miles west-northwest of Lille and ' 50 miles iouth-southwest of Os 1 tend). They Inflicted heavy losses l on another French cavalry division. j Tho fall of Antwerp permits the j transfer of the troops engaged j there to other points on the front.

Military experts here anticipate an attack in force soon by Germans on the Anglo-French lines between Bruges and Tournal. Of General von Beseler's force of probably 130,000 men those who formed the army of at tack on Antwerp the greater part. It 1h expected, will swing in a southwest erly direction, seeking a Junction with General von Hoehn'3 column In tho meanwhile, there Is every lndlcatton that Von Boehn'a force Is pushing' for ward, swinging like an arm with Its stationary base about Mons. The conflict, believed to be Impend ing, will come along the River Lye. The Germans will attempt to sweep forward from there, seeking to drive before them Into the North Sea the Franco-Belgian-British forces concen trated about Ostend. No fear Is felt here of the success of this movement. The allied line, which was originally formed In an at tempt to turn the flank of General von Kluk, has been prolonged day by day and haB almost uniformly been successful. Its force will now be aug mented by the remnants of the Belgian army which evacuated Antwerp and by fresh troops, which it is persistently reported here, but without otflclal con firmation, have been sent to Oatend from England. It has also been fre quently statd, although again without confirmation, that a strong naval force Is concentrated at Ostend ' German cavalry outposts are being encountered all thrrugh the territory j Keflt fit.

Tho opening of the eleventh week of the war finds Germany more than hold ing all the advantages it has gained In both the western and eastern theatres of war. The Get mans still hold the strong positions to which they retired along the Aisne. and the capture of Antwerp has greatly strengthened their lines in both Belgium and France. In the eastern the atre of hostilities, the Germans have pene trated Poland as fat ns the Vistula, and, while thn Russian Government has laid claim to important victories in the Su walkl district, when the history of the war is written it probably will be found that these successes did not mean ho much as the Russian General Staff has tried to make out. An unprejudiced, calm survey of the situation In Its ntiret cannot fail to see an advantage for Germany o far as the war has gone Belgium Is prostrate nnd Germany la still the invader In both France and Russia. The present week is expected to sfo an tn rense in activity in nurthwestern IJvlgium, especially in the vlcnlv nf fistend. Ghent, bo far aa known, is still held hy the Allies, but th Germans ore now in a position to concentrate a heavy force against it, and It Is feared that It will soon be In pos session of the Germans. With the Ger mans holding a port, such as Ghent, It would bo impossible for the Allies to at tempt a flank turning movement. The Fr-enoh and British would have to make frontal attacks against the strongly fortified lines of the Germans. If the Germans are ablo to transport their heavy guns to V-rdun and reduce the works there and to take Ostend, the completion of both thes objective en terprises would probably find winter weather prevailing Then there would un doubtedly be a 'ull until spring. There reams to be a strong belief, however, that with the possession of a coast city, such as Ostend, Germany would try to launch an immediate attack against Eng land, but such roportB are not causing alarm on this side of the channel.

AMSTERDAM, Oct IS. Several thousand Belgian and Knsllsh troops aro Interned In Holland. They crossed the frontier at different places, mostly at Putten and Sas Van Gent. All have boon taken by boat to Flushing. ironi mis piace tney will be sent on spe cial trains to tho concentration camp at Gaasterland. The Germans attacked the rmr guard of tho rotreatlng armies near 8t Nicolas. Thev used heavy field artillery from a great distance. tt Is estimated that there now aro 600,000 Belgian refugees In Holland, and the Dutch authorities, embarrassed by tho continued innux, probably will take steps Jointly with Germany for their return to Belgium. According to dispatches from Amster dam, many insane persons who were re leased from asylums to enable them to try to escape tho shells aro now at largo on tho border and add to the terror and disorder. Dispatches from Ostend say that hun dreds of wounded civilians are among the refugees arriving there today. Some of these havo been struck by shell frag ments. The Belgian medical facilities are not sufficient to give prompt aid to all of these.

BEBLIN, Oct. 14. The War Office has Issued the following statement: "In the eastern theatre the Germans re pulsed In the north all attacks by the First and Tenth Russian armies on Fri day and Saturday, Russian outflanking efforts via Schwirindt (95 miles east of Koenlgaberg), have also been repulsed. The Russians lost 1000 prisoners. "In South Poland, the advance guard of; the German armies has reached the Vistula. Near dojeck, south of Warsaw, tho Germans captured 2000 men of tho Seventh Siberian corps. "The Russians' official communlnues about great Russian victories at Auguts- towo and Suwalkl are Inventions. Tho fact that no Russian communiques were published about the tremendous defeats at Tannenburg and Instcrburg vouches for tho unreliability of the Russian offi cial Information." PETROGRAD. Oct. tt. Although the Russians continue to storm and capture tho German positions In East Prussia, their advance is of ne cessity slow, the War OfTlce admits. This strengthens the belief that Poland, the ancient battleground of a conquered but unsubdued nation, will be tho field on which tho decisive battlo of the present campaign will be fought. Every possible obstaclo to the Russian march Into East Prussia Is being set up by the Germans. After evacuating Lyck, they destroyed the bridges over all canals and streams In order to Impede Russian pursuit. An official statement says the Russians are also steadily advancing Into German territory from the Governments of Lomsa and Suwalkl. Further advance of Russian troops through Gallcla and Bukowlna was an nounced In ft War Oflfce statement today. The General Staff has decided for the present to withhold details of tho fighting In this nelghborhocd from which It Is concluded that an Important coup Is Im pending. NEW BRITISH 'PLANE BEST "Chaser Type" Capable of 1BO IrVtlles an Hour, Paris Writer States. LONDON, Oct. 12. "The British aeroplanes have proved to bo more than equal to those of the Ger mans," says the Paris correspondent of the Times. "Especial success has been scored with the new typo of English aeroplane, called the 'Chaser,' which Is capable of developing a speed of ISO mites an hour and which can rise from the ground at a sharp angle. "The German antl-alrshlp guns are bo effective that It is urftyso for the Brit ish or French aviators to fly lower than 6000 feet fromtthe ground. Tho Germans aro using a new type of bomb, which, when It explodes, leaves a smoke cloud that hangs In tho air for several minutes, thus cnnbllng tho Germans to get tho range of a hostile noroplano quickly and accurately. "An airman whon under flro has to keep up continual glides, sharp turns and evolutions In order to prevent tho enemy from getting an accurate aim." MONTENEGRINS OVERWHELM FOE IN BOSNIA ACTIONS Surprise Austrlans at Several Points, Inflicting Heavy Damage. LONDONi Oct. 13. A Reuler dispatch from Cettlnje, Mon tenegro, says: "it Is officially announced that our (Montenegrin) troops attacked tho Aug. trlans on the Belek-Gatcho front. Aftsr a sovcro fight the Austrlans were de feated and put to flight, leaving many wounded and prisoners, as well as six mitrailleuses and a large quantity of ant munition In our possession. Among the captives wero four officers. Montenegrin troops occupied a number of Important Austrian positions, Including Klyvucs, Oblalt and Stepnjtza. An earlier dispatch told of fighting be tween 20,000 Austrlans and a Montenegrin army near Knlenovltch, In which the Austrlans lost 1500 In the first day of fighting. Another news' agency dispatch camo through from Cettlnje referring evidently to tho samo fight, but It made no mention of such big Austrian losses. BELGRADE HALF.
