NOTHING DEFINITE FROM
FRANCE. REPORTS BERLIN
liondon. Oct. 9. 10.40 A. M.—The
official communication of the German
general staff given out at Berlin on the
evening of October 8 is contained in a
dispatch to Renter's Telegram Company
from Amsterdam, ft says:
'' From the western scene of war no
facts of decisive importance can be
pientioned. Small progress has been
made near St. Mihiel and in the Ar
gon lies.
"Before Antwerp fort Breedonk (to
the sout>h of Antwerp) has been taken
and the attack on the inner fort line
has begun therewith. The bombard
ment of the quarter of the town lying
behind was begun after the declara
tion of the commander of the strong
hold that he took the responsibility.

SCOUTING AEROPLANES ARE A GREAT AID TO GERMAN ARMY
AEROPLANE OCOUTS DELIVERING MESSAGES TQ GEfeMAN STAFF
In the above Illustration Is shown German soldiers taking minces from ail aeroplane, which shows that one of the most striking changes which
uas arisen in tactical methods in the present struggle has been the combination between the aerial and artillery arms in the German army The assistance
which the aeroplane has given to the gunners in enabling them to find the exact range of the hostile trenches has born remarkable. 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

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.

however, that developments are favor

the advantage gained from splendid

everything possible to maintain and
has just forwarded a million suits of

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
