PREMIER'S SON ROUGHS IT
IN TRENCHES WITH TROOPS
Uo Frills for Young Asqulth, Who
Saw Hard Action at Antwerp.
I.ONDON, Oct, 16.
Confirmation has been made of the
statement that Arthur Asqulth, third
eon of the Prime Minister, was in tho
trenches outsldo Antwerp during the nt
tack. Young Asqulth recently enrolled
with the Royal Naval Reserve, which
was engaged In the defense of Antwerp.
It Is clear he Is a very popular officer.
In an Interview Stoker Lawrence, R. X.
It., who has Just returned from the Ant
werp trenches, said that one of the best
liked and hardest workers of their officers
was the Prlmo Minister's son.
"Lieutenant Asqulth's first thought."
ho added, "is for the comfort and feed
ing of the men. He roughs It with the
boys, who think the world of him. He
takes his food with them and has the
Fame as the others. The last time I saw
him he was' drinking his tea from a corned
beef can."
By J, W. IV MASON
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Dcstructlon of
the British light cruiser Hawko by a Ger
man submarine represents exclusively a
gain In morale for Germany. From the
point of vlow of sea power the loss of
the vessel Is without Importance. Tho
Hawke' had no offensive strength, under
modern naval condition, being 25 ycais
old and dtstlncd for quick retirement.
Nevertheless, tHc success of the Ucrm.iu
submarines have a value quite apart
from the actual losses suffered by tile
rival cots. Tho German navy has never
had an opportunity to demonstrate Its ill
ness, and the skill add Initiative of Its
officers under hostile conditions have been
unknown quantities to themselves as well
ns to tho rest of tho world. The victo
ries won under tho sea will glVo a conlt
denco to the German sailors that un
doubtedly will stir them to si eater effort.
In this fact lies the possibility for an
ultimate sweeping vlctoty for Great
Britain. A few more minor victims
fallen to submarine nttacks may rouso
the German naval commanders to such
a pitch of enthusiasm us to cause a des
perate attempt to drive the English from
the seas. The German battle fleet may
venture forth and risk 11 surface en
gagement with the greatly aupcrlor Brit
ish squadrons. Such a conflict, If (-formally
were successful, would win the
war for her.
The chances against a German victory
aie much more than the two to one su
periority of the British warships. One
heavyweight prize fighter attacked by two
otnors, when all are In first-class con
dition, has far less than ono chance In
three of winning.
At the same time a possibility of suc
cess docs exist. This possibility undoubt
edly Is increased In Imagination among
German sailors by tho submarine suc
cesses. If the German warships come out from
their harbors of safety and attempt to
destroy the British navy, perhaps the
chief factorln the decision will be the
psychological effect of the submarine
raids.
Five British warships which have been
sunk by ubmnlnes were cruisers not of
first lino strength. Tho chief aim of the
German naval strategists Is to work
destruction among these first lino units.
How effective the submarines will be
come In an open fight, only time can tell.
-British submarines greatly, outnumber the
German and unprecedented exploits may
result.
AUSTRO-GERMAN LOSSES
EXCEED MILLION MARK
British Correspondent Gives Alleged
Berlin Estimate of 1,350,000.
LONDON, Oct. 16.
A Dally Chronicle correspondent In Hol
land, who has lately been In Berlin, sends
the following:
"The authorities in Berlin estimate their
total losses in France and Belgium up to
date at more than 700,000 men. This does
not Include their losses on the eastern
frontier, which they estimate at over
1B0.W0.
"They also acknowledge that the Aus
trian losses exceed 600,000. Official reports
which have been published only concern a
portion of the Prussian losses In France.
No official lists have been published re
gardlng losses of troops from Bavaria,
Wurttemberg, Saxcny or Hanover.
"From this it is evident that the Austro
German losses approximate 1,330,000.
This figure covers killed, wounded and
missing and, of course. Includes all prlST
cners."
By AN ARMY EXPERT
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-There Is no great
er mystery In this war than the failure
of tho French General Staff to furnish
adequate forces on the northern frontier
to resist the first advance of the Ger
man army In August, and this failure
again to protect the Channel ports.
There Is no mystery about tho German
army. Even Its disposition is seml-ofll-dally
announced. There are 21 nrmy
corps in France, six in Belgium and 13
on tho Russian frontier. In addition,
there are a million and a half Territorials
doing garrison duty, and 500,000 recruits
belnB trained.
Opposed to the 21 German army corps
that are now In Belgium, 30 In all, ap
proximately 1,200,000 men, there Is tho Ung
ues army of 300,000, tho remnant left of
the Belgian army, possibly SO.OOO effec
tives, and the entire French army.
France was supposed to have 3,000,000
regular soldiers nnd reserves when mobi
lization wns complete. Where are they?
Very few were ever sent to Belgium or
across the German frontier Into Alsace.
Yet with Germany's 1,200,000 men, and a
battle line from the Swiss border, north,
to Verdun fortress, west of Roye, and
north to Antwerp a battle line! with Its
undulations, 320 miles long Germany Is
always able, apparently, to detach suffi
cient icserves from one part of the line
to resist special pressure by tho Allies'
army anywhere, nnd U la also able 'to
send 200,000 lrlen north to take Antwerp.
Now Germany is moving on tho Chan
nel ports. Thcro are only five main linos
of railway running north from the
French fiontler through Belgium. Ger
many Is already In possession of four of
them and Is Using them to bring ammu
nition nnd other supplies to her troop.
In the past three days sho has taken an
other great Junction point at Lille. Us
tend, on the English Channel, only TO
miles from the English coast, has bom
abandoned to her by the Allies without
a battle. Yet Ostend was used ns ono
of the ports of debarkation for tho Brit
ish army, nnd It Is a highly Important
lino of communication for British sup
plies And reinforcements. j
The situation would be understandable
If a largo part of the allied armies had
been dlvcitcd rlf-cwhore In order to pierce
tho German line at some other vital
point, but there has been no general of
fensive movement at any point of the al
lied armies In thojpast week. There have
UCCll sporauic nuncKB nerc aim mere, and
some small gains made hero and thcro,
but no towh taken nnd no vital advan
tage obtained.
Thoroughness, efficiency, preparedness
were expected of the German army as
well ns grcnt generalship. On the other
sldo the English, In the first onslaughts,
vindicated the high reputation the British
nrmy has for steadiness under fire, and
Indomitable pluck. The French artillery,
In the guns of smaller calibre, has ful
filled the highest expectations of tho
nation, and the French foot soldiers
havo shown great dash nnd brilliancy as
well as that trait common to nearly all
armies bravery.
Tho London Times mllltnry critic re
fused to credit tho early report that Ger
many had sent five nrmy corps, 200,000
men, from France to Russia. It would
bo fatal, he Bald. And'lt was not "fatal."
Germany has done this, turnlhg tho
tide of battle on tho Russian frontier.
But she Iibb dono moro than turn back
tho great Russian nrmy. She has vlrtu-
Lally held her own In Fronce, fighting
against the entire French nnd the entire
British armies, nnd sho has mado great
gains In Belgium.
Whore is the French nrmy of 3,000,000
men? The Germans have fewer than
1,500,000 men in France.
By E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT
LONDON, Oct. 16. News arrives that
tho Allies have occupied Ypres, due
north of the line of Baillou ond Estnlres
l.a Bassee, which Von Kluk was report
ed as holding yesterday. It Is Impos
sible to believe that the Germans,
marching on Ostend. are near that port.
Ostend, from n military standpoint,
will be rff small Importance. Its har
bor Is hardly suitable for a naval base,
nnd the Invaders could be blown out of
town by the British fleet.
Thero Is no use denying the fact, how
ever, that pressure on Berlin from the
east is not to be felt for a long time.
At the present moment there Is not a
single Russlnn soldier on German ter
ritory, except those who may havo
crossed the frontier of East Prussia.
The pursuit of Von Hlndenburg's nrmy
along the route to Berlin Is not likely
to be seriously attempted fn view of the
difficulties of lakes, marshes and fort
resses. The main advance must be by
way of Posen or Cracow, and before
either route can be taken Poland must
bo cleared of the enemy and Cracow
captured.
Also, before the siege of Crncow can
bo attempted the armies must be driven
from the line of the Vistula.
Tho Russians will havo done well to
have taken Przemysl and cleared west
ern Poland of Germans before winter
sets in. They then will quietly invest
Cracow and clear the road for tho ad
vance on Berlin early next year. This
is the very most the Allies can hope.

telegrams exchanged by the French and
Belgian Governments when the latter wa3

"The finest sentence In the telegrams,
because It Is the most simple and most

King Albert, when he said: "We await

"Second only to this In Its calm reso

"In those sentences lies the whole gos

River Lys. Clearing Way
for Occupation of Estaires
by Allies' Infantry.
PARIS, Oct. 1G.
Infantry nnd cavalry, after a period of
comparative Inactivity, hnve been doing
more fighting during tho lust fow days
than for several weeks.
Two thousand French cuirassiers have
distinguished themselves by u daring
feat In swimming tho River Ls where It
Mows deep nnd swift. They completely
outwitted the Germans, who were await
ing them on the other side with machine
guns and henvy artillery.
The French horsemen made a long
notour during the nl-iht. Ono man swam
tho river with a rope, then drugged over
a cable, which ho attached to a tree.
The others, holding to tho rope, crossed
singly with their horses through tho
swirling waters.
Arrived on tho opposite hank, (lie
French drew up In line and charged tho
German Hank at Mocrvllle, driving tho
Germans back ami opening tho wny for
tho passage over the river of a division
of allied Infantry, who later occupied
L'staircs.
Many of the advanced German
trenches appear to have been obnndoned
and the Allies were able to make much
headway, where previously they had met
with furious resistance.
The Ideu prevails that the Germans
are preparing to letlre nt tho centre nnd
concentrate their energies further north,
where, It Is supposed, they Intend to
make another attempt to break the

DEEDS OF DARING, PATHOS
AND HUMOR OF THE WAR
5 YEARS FOB DISOBEDIENCE
French Soldier Court Mnrtinled for
Refusing to Wash Feet.
PARIS, Oct. lO.-Louls Dtithci'ln, a
French soldier, 2.1 yearn old, belonging to
the Territorial Infnntry, was yesterday
sentenced by a court martial to llw
years' labor on public works for having
refused to obey the command of his lieu
tenant to wash his feet in n stream, when
nil tho others of his company did so,
after a march on an August day.
A clever trick, following closely the
lines of Unit played by Volgt, the famous
rogue of Kf-epenlck, has ben played upon
n Sheffield hostel nnd n number of Lord
Kitchener's recruit nt Sheffield, nnd has
set all Yorkshire laughing.
Representing himself as the deputy of
Councillor , over tho telephone, n
person asked a military officer at the
barracks If he would care to billet 300
recruits nt Councillor '3 nowly erected
hostel for working men. The ofTer was
accepted. Shortly nfterwnrds the man
ager of the hostel was ordeied over the
telephone by "hl Majesty's transport of
ficer Ridley" to mnko instant prcpniallon
to receive the recruits and provide them
Willi a meat ten.
Transport Officer Ridley tUlckly fol
lowed nnd assumed complete lontiol of
tho hostel. "I may ns well put up here
and sco the thing thiouSh," he said. The
recruits duly nrrlxed, find Transput t Of
ficer Ridley appointed a special staff to
attend him. Ono recruit he deputed to
shave him, a second to clean his boots,
nnd n third to wash him. To socurp quiet
nt night he posted up a notice that "there
must be absolute silence while your trans
port ulllcer Is asleep."
He also exacted implicit obedience and
posted 11 second notice:
"This Is a mllltniv Institution and the
men nio tinder the nuthorlty of Mr.
Ridley, transport officer. If he culls upon
ittiy man to perform any action he is
bound to do so. else he will be guilty of
a iilmo ngulnst nillltniy law. for which
he' will be punished by the military au
thorities." After 11 few days Mr. Ridley became
111 and was conduct to his bedioom. All
offers to obtain a doctor wcic so losolutely
declined tlmt Councillor became suh-
plclous niul telephoned to the ban neks.
An offlcel wits sent to tho hustul, and
In him. It la nllogri,, Rltltrv produced a
noto which purjioited to bear n c.ipliiln's
slgnatuip When the officer left to make
further Inquiries Mr. Ridley wns not rong
In following him and has not been seen
since.
German papers point out that the aged
Count llnrs.eler was not the first retired
Prussian field marshal who offered to
sonn his country uu a volunteer. ."11 lSi5

army In tho samo capacity. Ho had
hoped to receive a command, but ns he
wns then In his eighty-third year, his
desire could not be gratllled. Dr. O.

of rfndown, and asked him to assign to
him a fow houses for the care of the
wounded, but Wrnngel replied: "I am
sony, my ooy, I cannot do what you ask
for; I nm merely a simple volunteer, nnd
am Just now going home." It is Interest
ing to icc.ill In this connection that Field
Marshal itadetzky was also S3 years old

GERMANY MAY SEND
SUBMARINES BY RAIL
TO SWEEP CHANNEL
Overland Trip to Belgian
Coast Probably Will Pre
cede Attack of Kaiser's
Vessels on British Fleet
LONDON, Oct. 19.
A widely circulated rumor In London
declares that the Germans expect to
transport by rail to places on tho Belgian
and French coasts a number of subm.i
lines with which to attack the British
fVet.
The feasibility of transporting subma
rines overland is declared by a well
known American engineer here who Jias
had considerable to do with tho study of
submarines and the Handling or suurru
rlne mines. He said:
"It would bo possible to transport aub
nmilnes by rail from Germany to tha
Belgian and French coasts onco tho rail
road lines weto secured; but nfter reach
ing the coast, then would come a problem
of escaping British war vessels or mliia
fields."
Rumors are that tho Germans may try
to send submarines from near the mouth
of the Scheldt. ,
WASHINGTON. Oct. i.
United States naval ofllccrs expect Ger
many to get one or more of her subma
rines from her base off tho Island of
Heligoland, In the North Se.i, to Antwerp,
Belgium, on the River Scheldt, and to
attempt to harass the British Govern
ment by attacking vessels plying betwec'a
France and F.ngland and the British war
ships In the English Channel.
Regarding tho transportation of sub
marines by rail, one snld:
"If there are no tunnels or narrow
bridges on the railroads between the point
where the submarines would be loaded
and their destination, submarines could
be transported by rail."
The German Embassy stated that there)
is a railroad devoid of tunnels running
from Hamburg to Antwerp.
