Germans Approach Ostend After Captur
ing Ghent and Bombarding Bruges.
French and British Driven From
Town After Weeks of Fighting.
Official Paris Announcement Says Invad
ers Have Been Driven Back South of
Arras, at the Centre and Along Meuse.
Verdun Again Assaulted.
LONDON, Oct. 13.
The lines arc slithering for a general
engagement along the, banks of tho
River I-iVH, tho reinforced Allies against
the German army which Is attempting
an encircling movement toward Ostend
and tho coast.
Although not ofllclally confirmed by
the Press Bureau there Is no doubt hero
of the truth of the repotted occupation
of Ghent by tho German forces. Tho
city Is only 12 miles southeast of Loko
ron, where It was known that the Ger
mans were concentrated In force.
Tho capture of Lille by the Germans
Is reported from Paris, but the French
state this reverse has been offset by
gains between Ai ras and Albert, and at
the centre.
Tho Feat of tho Belgian Government
hereafter will be Havre, Franco, ac
cording to dispatches from Bordeaux
today.
Thcro Is an unconfirmed report from
Amsterdam that German artillery Is
bombarding Bruges.
(Bruges is only fourteen miles south
east of Ostond.)
A Times correspondent in the north
of Franco reports strong German
columns of all arms passing through
Balllcul, In tho French department of
tho Nord, in the direction of Ypres,
which is 2G miles south of Ostend.
Around Ypres the Germans have con
centrated In heavy numbers.
That tho Allies themselves bollovo
tho Germans will bo able to take
Ostend If they can get their heavy
Elcgo guns in range of tho city is in
dicated by a dispatch to tho Times,
which -says that by tho end of the
week 100,000 refugees from Belgium will
have been lam'ed in England.
"If tho Germans surround Ostend on
tho land side and lay slego to the city
successfully !t is bclloved that tho
troops defending tho port will bo placed
on board transports when it comes timo
to escape, and will likely bo taken to
an English port. The wreck of the
Belgian army, under King Albeit, is
now in Ostend, according to unofficial
reports from across the Channel.
The Standard's Ostend correspondent
Bays that German spies rue being nr
rested In Ostend pvery day, Ono Ger
man ofllcer, wearing tho Belgian uni
form, was nrrested and mobbed in the
Hue de la Chappello. Another, dis
guised as a peasant, was arrested while
taking notes.
Five thousand of tho British marines
who helped in the defense of Antwerp
have returned to England, It Is stated
by them that tho commander of one of
the Belgian forts was discovered to bo
In tho employ of the Government and
was shot, and that the explosion of tho
magazine of Fort "Wavro-St. Catherine
was caused by a German spy.
Uhlans are reported to havo reached
Keizacte, on the Belgian border of Hol
land. Definite information, which appar
ently is authentic, has reached hero
that the Queen of Belgium is still In
Ostend.

"I'M A MAN OF PEACE, BUT IF THEE SAYS
PUT BUSINESS MEN
IN CONGRESS, URGES
STATIONERS' CHIEF
Let Them "Rescue Country
From the Arena of Poli
tics," Is George M. Courts'
Message to Convention.
"Send business men to Congress" was
the keynote of National President George
M. Courts' address at the opening of tho
convention of the Xntlonnl Association
of Stationers and Manufacturers In the
Bellcvue-Stratfonl today.
"Until business men, who have mado
this country what It Is," said Mr. Courts,
"rescue It from tho arena of politics, we
shall continue to bo regulated by laws
which are fathered by demagogues, con
ceived In ignorance nnd born In the throes
of political expediency. It Is to bo hoped
that business men will not long continue
to shirk their plain responsibility for an
ndmltted evil,
"The only views which Congress did
not deem worthy of consideration were
those of the people most effected, the busi
ness men."
Rounds of applause gloated President
Courts' speech, which followed the ad
dresses ofMvelcome by Mayor Blankcn
burg and Dlreotor of Supplies Loeb.
Following his address Mr, Couits was
presented with a handsome gavel made
from wood from the old United States
Mint.
This morning's session was the first of
the regular business meetings of the con
vention, and tho entire session was de
voted to the consideration of the repoits
of the various committees.
A centre for an ndmlrlng and an en
thusiastic group at all times is the plc
turesquo figure of George A, Olney, of
New York, and "Uncle George" as he Is
known to everybody. "Uncle George," up
until tho time of his retirement last year,
had been for 60 years associated with the
stationery business In one form or an
other, but chleily as a salesman.
As a result of his long years of serv
ice and extensive traveling he Is known
from one end of the country to the other,
from the centres of the ttade In the large
cities to the outlying districts where sta
tionery business ns a business In itself Is
making Its first way,
Jn consequonce wherever and when
ever stationers gather together there, too.
Is "Uncle George" cordial, happy and en
thusiastic, modestly accepting the homago
thrust upon him by his former associates
as due the dean of his profession.
The convention Is unique for the num
ber of women who, either in the n
teiests of their own livelihood or as
wlve and daughters of the delegates,
are In attendance.
Another special feature arranged prlr
marlly for them Is a trip scheduled for
Thursday morning through the Curtis
Publishing Company's plant at 6th and
Walnut streets. Last year, when, at the
convention in Springfield, it was an
nounced that Philadelphia was to be the
ntxt convention city the women In at
tendance there insisted that, while In
Philadelphia, an opportunity should be
given them to see the home of tha La
dles' Home Journal, the Saturday Even
ing Post and the Country Gentleman

Deputy Coroner Says One of
Them is Guilty of the
Murder of Henry C. Hum
mel. Six attendants nt the Pennsylvania.
Hospital for the Insane, familiarly
known as "Klrkbrldo'9," were held with
out bail for the Grand Jury today by
Deputy Coroner Sellers on a charge of
manslaughter, ns tho result of bruises
found on tho body of Henry C. Hummel!.
31 years old, of 419 North 52d street. Hum
mel died at the Institution October 5 after
being an lnmnto thero for a year.
All six of the prlsonprs testified, but
failed to glvo any definite Information.
Their answers to questions were hazy and
vague. When the last man hud been
heaid, Coroner Sellers said:
"This Is a murder. One of you men
has committed this crime, nnd until It Is
proven which of you Is guilty nil must be
held accountable, because you wero Hum
mell's attendants.
The prisoners, all of whom live at the
hospltul, nre Dennis Kelly, James Dallas,
Martin Glblen, Edward J. Hresllu,
Michael Connelly and Arthur Clreonwny.
Startling testimony wns given by rela
tUes of tho dead man.
BODY COVERED WITH BRUISES.
According to Mrs. Ethel Fray, of 310J
Spruce sticet, a sister, and Ellwood R.
Hummell, a brother, tho body when It
was sent home from tho asylum for
bmlal was covered with bruises. Thero
was also a deep mark over one of tho
eyes.
Hummell testified that he visited his
brother at tho hospital every 10 days
and never saw him In a violent condi
tion. He declared that his brother frequently
complained of HI treatment, but ns he
never showed him any of the marks ho
thought It was a hallucination. Mrs.
Hummell's testimony was substantially
the same. She declared her brother told
her several times that he had been severe
ly beaten. She, also, denied that fcho had
ever seen him In tt violent condition.
Before his mind became unbalanced
Hummell was a civil engineer In the em
ploy of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. He was financially well to do.
About one ear ago hU mental condition
was declared hopeless, and relatlvos took
the advice of tho family phsician to
send him to the hospital.
Kirkbride's Is the West Philadelphia
Institution operated by the same Board
of Directors as the Pennsylvania Hot,
nltal. at Sth and Spruce streets. The hos
pital also has grounds at Now town Square,
Pa. Its property In West Philadelphia is
one of the largest tracts at its kind in
the city. There are two sections, one
running from 12d to J6th streets and from
Market street to Haverford avenue. The
other runs from 16th to 50th street with
the same north and south boundaries.
The men are kept In the western sec
tion. Unlike similar institutions. Kirk
bride's has escaped charges of cruelty or
Irregularity until today.
"FATHER, ILL DIE HERE."
William Hummell, father of the dead
man. testified at the Inquest today that
his son said to htm:
"Father I'll die here; take me out."
The father testified that he saw a mark
en his son's head on one visit he paid to
the hospital
Dr. Owen Happ. superintendent of the
hospital, also was calUd to testify He

FENWAY PARK, Boston, Oct. 13.-.
0orcouts nnd steamer rugs were In order)
this afternoon when tho Braves nnd Ath
letlcs took the field for the fourth Rama
of the world's series.
The sun wns shining, but there was)
little warmth in its rays, and a raw
wind swept tho field.
The Braves appeared at 12:30 nnd start-,
cd their batting practice for the tussla
which they hoped would bring them th
world's bnscbill title. The Athletics ap
peared somewhat later. The Mack forces
wero given a royal welcome by the fans.
Rudolph wns tho only Brave pitcher
warming while Boston was having Infield
practice. When the Athletics took tho
field, Shawkey warmed up for Connjs
Mack. He was putting lots of stuff on? "
tho balls thrown to Lapp. Ira Thomas
stood by for a time and watched his work.
It seemed Shawkey would be Mack's
choice.
By 1 o'clock there were about 12,000 In
the outfield bleachers. The majority
were bundled up In ovorconts. Those wh
were not shivered and shook In the fnco
of the cold breeze
During the Braves' batting practice
Hank Gowdy got his eye on the left
field bleachers nnd showed that he still
had his lon-dlstnnco rang.' finder work
ing by slamming the bull In among tha
fans. Each Brave pla.cr was given a
hand as lie stepped up to the plute for
his prellmlnnrv work The Braves piai
ticed on the right-handed shoots of Tom
Hughes In anticipation of Binder.
The Big Chief said this morning that
his arm was in the ben of shape and li
bel.eved he wns right. Connie Muck,
however, would admit nothing except

of his remaining youngsters wns, there.

considered the most likely selection.
FUN WITH POLICE.
The ticket sale nf the cheaper Mats
began nt 9 o.'cloek as u.. -, but thete
were great dark gaps in the white faces
In the big nuttleld stands us late ns 1
o'clock because of tho cold weather.
Bundled In overcoats and sweaters, the
loyal public massed as closely as possible
and tried to stir up sumo heat by annoy
ing the police. They pegged rolled up
newspapers nnd peanut bags at late com
ers, phoved n sandwich salesman down
tho steps, and craftily beaned the cops
with harmless missiles Every good shot
at these targets brought forth a demon
stration which tho police seemed to enjoy
ns much ns the loyal public.
The band bad shifted its base todav
It moved around from the rear or first
base to a point back of the left tiM
foul line nnd between third bnso nnd tha
fence. It was a position of sonit nat
ural strength, but was exposed to tho
enfilading fire of right-handed hltt-ra
Put they were n game crowd those muslo
ri'en The white baseballs tore up tuif
around them Clashed through them,
busted a flute and otherwise cut them,
but not ft man flinched.
It was aftr 1 o'clock when the Ath
letics finallv tore themselves away from
Ban Johnson and came out on the field
The Macks hammered nt rlght-handcl
sheots during tlnir batting practice in
preparation for Rudolph Oldrlng. who
has yet to get a hit in the series, planted
one In the left field bleachers.
The National Commission and the clubi
split up the money for the remaining
games. If there are any.
"FITJ5" IN PLAIN CLOTHES.
It was 1:15 when the Royal Ilootprs, in
cluding several women, appeared, headed
by their band, paraded half way across
the field, ml then swarmed Into their
ssats. Former Mayor Fitzgerald led
them as usual. Fitzgerald was without
Ills two-gallon hat and cut-away for the
first time. A soft hat ami business suit
sufficed.
The Athletics were extremely earnest
In every move they made during their
practli e. It was do or die for them today
The game was called at iM p. m.
BRAVES ADMIRED.
The fighting spirit and gamines of
