The capture of Ostend by the Ger man'! and the establishment of tho Ckrman wing upon tho coast at Blank enbergho has enabled the German forces In northern Belgium to get In touch with the main army. This Is of big advantage to the Invaders because It enables litem to present an un broken front, no matter If Is weak at points The right wing of tho main German army In Belgium now rests upon Vcrtine, the westernmost town In Belgium, near the North Pea, about 26 miles from Bruges There hns beci. a disposition in some quarters to believe that the Kaiser has ordered another drive against Paris by way of the coast. It Is unlikely, viewed from a military standpoint, that he would undertake such a gigantic en terprise when, with all his available troops, he has been unable to get his grand army before the city In a direct march against a retreating foe.

BRITANNIA MUST RULE THE WAVES, ALL ENGLAND CRIES Loss of Hawke Starts Criti cism of Admiralty's In ability to Check Daring Raids of German Sub marines. By ED L. KEEN LONDON, Oct. 17. All England demands revenge. The of ficial announcement that another British cruiser had fallen victim to a torpedo, hurled by a German submarine, stirred the nation to Its depths. Tho Iosb of the Hawke, with virtually all her crew, Is In Itself no eerlous disaster to Britain's sea strength There are plenty of war craft ready to commission to take her place But tho almost uninterrupted scries of successes of tho Gorman sub marines, which seem to be able to go whero they please, unchecked by the British destroers or torpedo craft, has started a chorus of crltlclBtn of the Ad miralty that only a stern blow, with re sultant success, can check. While details of the loss of tho Hawko aro withheld, the very fact that her sur vivors were landed at Aberdeen would indicate that It took place far from the German coast and very close to a British naval base Bccauso of this fact tho bewilderment grows. "Where is the Brit ish fleet?" now Is the question on every one's lips this evening But it Is a ques tion that for strategical reasons must go unanswered At the Admiralty no comment was ob tainable on the latest German move But the chiefs there made It very plain by their attitude that England would reply In ItB own way, and It will not be greatly surprising If news was soon forthcoming of a British naval move that will balance the now greatly one-sided scale. The general situation Is described as ex cellent. The uprising In South Africa rapidly Is being stamped out Reports received by cable from Premier Botha state that the at my Is absolutely loyal, that all persons suspected of nntl-Brlt-Ish sentiments arc being arrested as rap Idlv as thev can be located, and that It will be possible to rescind tho martial law order In the near futuio. Brigadier General Lukcns, who is In charge of the operations against the Germans In Ger man Southwest Africa, reports that the Germans have withdrawn B0 miles Inside of their frontier, leaving a wide space of desert. In which all water holes have been polluted The Germans are acting entirely on the defensive, and their ulti mate defent Is considered a certainty. In France the Germans slowly are being driven back and arrangements have been made to prevent their taking Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne. tn Belgium the situation Is hidden un der a cloud of censorship, and there Is no confirmation of the unofficial reports that Ostend now is held by the Germans, although It is generally accepted as true WILD ANIMAL MARKET IS KILLED BY THE WAR Hagenbeck Hns "White Elephants" on His Hands.

In tho present circumstances these cannot be fulfilled So now Hagenbeck is left In the lurch with 75 full-grown lions, 45 tigers. 70 trained polar bears, 100 hyenas and 67 clsphants. besides five caravans which ought to be on their way home In Africa, India or where their homes may be, with their horses, camels, etc. All these men and beasts must be housed and fed, the animals need fodder and everything Is getting scarce.

An unconfirmed rumor, widely circulated throughout London today, declared that tho big cruisers Invincible and Terrible have been torpedoed and sunk by Ger man submarines In the North Sea. So persistent were the reports that tho ofnclal press bureau, at the Instance of tho Admiralty, Issued an official state ment discrediting them.
