By day the German monoplanes nave daringly hovered over the hostile lines and have indicated to the batteries the most vulnerable positions of the hostile trenches. At night time the German aeroplanes have been fitted up with a small portable searchlight, by means of which the enemy's trenches have been clearly visible, whilst st the same time small bursting charges have been also dropped Into the trenches. These flare up and burn for several minutes, and so help the German batteries to tinge at niglu with more or less accuracy. The officer pilots of the German Flying Corps greatly prefer the Tnube monoplane to the Albatross end Euler biplanes, which' they chiefly use for work with the artillery arm. i« they are so much more stable and mobile. The German airmen consider tlietn tea er- OL! of iir.,.g ( .■ of hostile fire at a range of 2.000 leet, but as so many of inetn have k*u brought down in the recent fighting it it very doubtful if tUej are immune from fire at anything like that height.

HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9. 1914. MORE THAN HALF OF INDIAN ARJIY ARE WHITE TROOPS 1 aris, Oct. 9.—The British Indian j army is said to be rapidly becoming ac climated. French generals who have in spected their artillery, cavalry, infantry and engineer and ambulance auxiliary corps describe the army as admirably ; equipped. The people of the French cities where the men are quartered are favorably impressed with the solemn courtesy of I the Orientals. They never, however, | enter the cafes or accept hospitalities, j All the men except the Ghurkas are large in stature. More than half the j Indian contingent are white troops, who are regarded as the flower of the British a rmv. Transport and artillery supply wag ons were brought with the men from India. Herds of goats that furnish the milk supply are pastured near the camps, but the principal sustenance of ' the native Indian soldiers is wheat j cakes, which they themselves bake.

HPH6LDII GIT MSI FI The Beleaguered City Is Reported to Be Still Withstanding the German Onslaught KING ALBERT ON WAY TO OSTEND I Siege of Antwerp and Battle of Aisne Becoming More Closely Related in Decperate Efforts of Germans and Allies to Crush Each Other London, Oct. 9, 10.05 A. M. So far as hngland knows this morning Ant werp, the latest of the cities of Belgium to be beleaguered, is still holding out. against the German onslaught. King Albert has withdrawn from the citv toward Osiend where the administra tion is now fully established but prac tically the entire Belgian field armv has remained to resist as long ai pos sihle the tire of the great German guns the horrible effects of which were made plain «t Jviege. The nations opposing Germany hoped that the defenders could hold out till the allies delivered some decisive blow along the battle line in Franco which has now almost reached the North tea and, taken in conjunction with the lighting which extends across the Be - giaa frontier to the northward of Lille makes a gigantic front sprawling like a snake half across Belgium and across practically all of the northeastern of I' ranee. The siege of Antwerp and the battle <>l the. Aisne are thus becoming more and more closely relate I and both ihe Germans and the allies are making the . most desperate efforts to crush each | other and smash through the ever lengthening western wings. It is contended that the Germans tailed in their great effort to drive a wedge through this region and the la ;test F aris communication contends thai the situation is stationary, though most , violent fighting continues. If Antwerp falls it will prove the ineffectiveness of modern fortifications against modern guns, for Antwerp is the best work of ingenuous barriers. To the east the situation on the Last russian frontier is becoming j more like that in France after the I Herman invasion and retreat. Being j driven from Poland the Germans are j making a stubborn stand and with rn ■ intorce.nents from Konigsberg will , doubtless give battle which will deter | mine whether the Germans will again ! invade Russia in this region. Roundabout dispatches reaching Lon i ! ro "' Petrograd say that a new j Russian army has arrived at the front j ier near Poseu, while another is march ! nig toward Thorn. | All reports of the surrender of ; yzemygl appear to be premature as j were various reports about the begin- I ning of a battle »t Cracow.
