The towns of Roubaix, Lille and Va lenciennes are all close to the Belgian frontier, Lille and Valenciennes being ten miles from the line and Roubaix is five. Roubaix is five miles northeast of Lille and Valenciennes is thirty miles southeast of the same city. Lille is the most important from a military point of view. It has a fort ress of the first class, and the circle of its forts is thirty miles. Recent dispatches from Paris Baid that Lille was held by French reservists. Rou baix would appear not to he fortified. It is a manufacturing center. Valenciennes also is a manufactur ing city and is an important military point. It has an arsenal and etxensive barracks. The Ostend correspondent of the London Daily Express in a dispatch published in London this morning quoted a Belgian officer to the effect that it had been decided last Monday not to defend Lille, and that on Tues day the mayor published a proclama tion announcing the evacuation of the French troops and the transformation of the town into an undefended place. "All the gendarmes were disarmed and steps were taken to deliver the city with all its rich factories up to the Germans." this officer declared. "Tues day evening all the available treasure was removed."

Threatening skies failed to dull the enthusiasm of the thousands who eagerly thronged the grounds and parked the big grand stand to capacity to witness some of the fastest races ever held on the lower end grounds. Three events were run off this afternoon and three more were decided yesterday, clearing the program for the fast races to-morrow when it is expected to see the track record lowered. A damper was thrown on the en thusiasm of the crowd yesterday when in the second heat of the 2:19 pace, Virginia I'atchen, leading the field of eight horses, broke, then swerved towards the side of the track and, plunging over a six-foot embankment, was killed. Dan Leary, Jr., of West Chester, who was driving, escaped serious injury in a miraculous man ner, springing from his seat directly in the path of the other racing horses. When Virginia Patchen began to head for the fence the crowd of people packed along the railing broke and fled In confusion. Women and chil dren jumped and rolled over the em bankment in a frantic effort to get away from the approaching animal. No one was injured, however. Virginia Patchen was sired by Joe Patchen, by Sara Ann. by Thistle and had a record of 2:20 1 4, made this year. Dan Leary, of West Chester, was her owner and just last week refused an offer of $1,500 for the horse.

Bombs Dropped From Cage Attached to Dirigibles London, Aug. 27. 12.38 A. M.—The method used by Zeppelin airships in dropping bombs has been described as follows by an Fngllsh refugee who has just arrived here from Belgium: "The dirigible hovers over its ob jective at a sufficient altitude to keep It out of range of the enemy's guns. At the same time It lowers r steel cage attached to a steel wire support 2,000 or 3,000 feet long. This cage is divided into compartments and it car ries one man whose duty it is to throw down the bombs. The cage Is suffi ciently strong to make rifle fire against I it ineffective, and because of its small size and the fact that it Is kept con stantly In motion It is very difficult for heavy guns to hit it."
