T THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURO, PA. 1 k t. BOTH BATTLE LINES REACH SEA NO POSSIBILITY OF OUTFLANKING TORPEDO SIXTH BRITISH CRUISER -:o: Allies Extend Their Lines to Coast and Prevent Germans From Entering French Ports -:o:- Operalion Stops Turning Movement by Either Army. Victory in Campaign Will Go to Army That First Masses Force Strong Enough to Break Through Front KAISER SENDING STRONG COLUMNS TO REINFORCE HIS INTRENCHED TROOPS London. The German attempt to prevent the AllW-s In northern France from extending their lines to the coast fallpd and a heavy Anglo French force stretching 23 miles, from Ypres, Bel glum, to the North Sea at a point about half way between Dunkirk and Ostend barred the advance of the Kaiser's aimy from the Belgian re sort town. I The Kaiser Is rushing forward 200, 000 or 300,000 fresh troops to the Bel gian coast. The Allies are streng thening their left as rapidly as pos sible. In the meantime, Gen. von Klurk s men are not Idle and the Anglo-French left In the Lllle-Ypres region la kept busy holding Its own. The French official reports tell of the capture of Leventle. a railroad town eight miles northwest of Bethune. The seesaw movement of the con tending troops In the North Is well I'.lustruted by the following news from Bordeaux, to the French Kmbassy at London: "The Germans have ad vanced from Audenarde toward fourtral. The enemy occupy a line of defense Meroln-Armentleres-Glven-rhy. To the west of La Basse he Is (n contact with our troops between dint locality and Arras. A violent combat took place normwesi oi Lens to Vermelles, which resulted In our favor. We have taken Marines camps, southwest of Arras." In the Meuse region, the French report the repulse of a German attack near Malancourt, 12 miles north of Verdun. There was llttlo action along the center. In an official statement Issued by the German General Staff It was stat ed that at no point had the French succeeded In making any Important advances: Where the French have gained ground was said to lie at points where for strategical reasons the Germans had withdrawn. Zeebrugge has been entered by the Germans. The German flag has been hoisted on the whole Dutch frontier. Zeebrugge Is on the coast, 16V4 miles northeast of Ostend, on the steam tramway that runs along the coast. It Is the new port of Bruges, con nected by a ship canal with Bruges, already In German hands. The Allies line in Belgium now reaches from Ypres to the North Sea thus barring German progress toward Dunkirk and Calais. In Lorraine a French army Is al tnnut within shot of Metz, an offen sive movement which might result In cutting off the retreat of the Ger man Crown Prince. The Government reports, as well as despatches to the newspapers, eliow that the Allies have gone for ward In northern France and in southwestern Belgium, while the Germans have continued an unoppos ed advance to Ostend. The German rght wing and the Allied left wing now rest upon the Beacoast. The Allied line now runs from Nleuport through Dlxmude to Ypres, while Ger.. Joffre Is steadily pressing back the Germans In the region of Lille. With both the belligerent lines reaching to the sea there now can be no attempts at outflanking by either army. To win success one or the other of the opponents must break through the line, and the army hav ing the greatest number of men and the ability to move them to a chosen point seemingly has the better chance to succeed. The Germans, It is believed here, are certain to try to make a breach In the Allies' line, but Just where Is known only to themselves and to the French and BrltlBh commanders, who are receiving reports from their aerial scouts of any movement In strength. It Is believed, however, that the Germans are striking for the outer railway system, now In French hands, which runs from Paris through Amiens nnd Arrns to Ilazcbrouck Junction, and thence to Calais anil the coast. Thus far, according to the French reports, the Allies ln.v.i repulsed every a' tempt of the Germans to , achieve this object, and now have SOLDIERS GET HOME NEWS.

Experience bus shown that thi greatest demand Is for football news. them pressed well back from the threatened railway. APPREHENSION IN FRANCE. Bordeaux. The war situation on northern frontier of France Is viewed with Increased apprehension In well Informed circles. It Is feared that the Germans will extend their sweep of the north coast to Dunkirk and even to Calais, oppo site Dover, England. With Its battle line from the Ger man frontier to the English Channel thus shortened, the German front will gala In weight. As the French army has been un equal to the task of turning the Ger mans' left flank when thinly extended, It Is now feared that the entire Ger man Hue will advance successfully on Paris. THE RUSSOGERMAN CAMPAIGN. The Hague. The- main arrhlcs of the contending forces, the Russians on one side and the Austrlans and Germans on the other, are In close touch over an Immense front which evidently will gradually extend from the Baltic to the Carpathians. In spite of the claims of victory here and defeat there by one side or the other, there Is reason to believe that, generally speaking, the fighting so fur has been' confined to cavalry engage ments, and that a general action has not yet begun. Although the Germans were report ed to have been driven back 30 miles from Warsaw, a later report from ! Petrograd tells of desperate fighting ; but eight miles from the Polish cap ital. Nevertheless, the Russians War Office Insists the German advance has been checked. The Russians claim tj have cut the German center and to have taken 10,000 prisoners, with several cannon. WARRIORS FEAR WOLVES. Animals, Driven From Mountains by Snow, Rival Enemy. Cettlnje. A close watch at night is necessary at the military camps, not only because of the fear of the enemy, but on account of the dread of wolves, which when the first snow covered the mountain tops began to descend and wander In rapacious bands, attacking the living. If they cannot find dead. t 7 SHIPS, 2,186 MEN, f LOST BY GREAT BRITAIN T The German policy of crip- pling the British navy by sub s', marine attacks and floating j mines while keeping the Ger J man dreadnoughts under the guns of Kiel and Helgoland has If, cost the British six useful ' cruisers and one torpedo gun It boat, with a loss of 2,186 men. f By submarine raids In the X North Sea Germans sank the T following: The scout cruiser Pathfinder, with 246 men, on September S.

British Cruiser Hawke j Sunk by Germans': London. The British cruiser Hawke s has been sunk in tne worm sea ay a . Gorman submarine. Out ot a crew of 400 50 were saved. News of the disaster Is officially confirmed. The Hawko was scouting In the North Sea at the time. She was steaming along when she was struck almost amidships by the torpedo and almost torn to pieces. The Admiralty gave this announce ment: Ills majesty's ship Theseus, Capt. Hugh Edwards, was attacked by a submarine In the northern waters of the North Sea but was mlsHed. His majesty's ship Hawke, Capt. M. P. Williams, was attacked about the same time and sunk. The following officers, with forty, nine men of the crew, have been landed at Aberdeen from a trawler. Boatswain Sydney Austin, Gunner Janus Dennis and Acting Gunner Harry Evltt. The remaining officers and men are missing. The Hawke was 7,350 tons displace ment, SCO feet long, CO feet beam, and drew 23 feet of water. She was a sister ship of the Edgar, Endymlon, Grafton, Theseus and Gibraltar, and was launched In 1891. Her armament consisted of two 9.2 Inch guns, ten 6-Inch guns, twelve six pounds, five three-pounders, two ma chine guns and two torpedo tubes. Her complement was 644 men. The Hawke was commanded by Capt. P. E. T. Wiliams. Among her officers were Commander Bernard A. il'ratt-Barlow and Lleut.-Commander Robert R. Rosoman. The Hawke collided with the liner Olympic September 20, 1911, near Os borne bay, on the north side of the is'.o of WJg-ht. She sustained serious damage. The loss of the Hawke makes a to tal of six British cruisers destroyed by Germany In the North Sea since the beginning of the war. CANADIAN TROOPS LANDED. Ottawa, Ont. Announcement that the fleet of 32 transport steamers car rying the Canadian expeditionary force of 33.000 reached England and are disembarking the troops at Ply mouth, has been cabled to Premier Sir Robert Borden by George E. Perley, a member of the Administration, now In Great Britain. FINAL WAR BULLETINS The British Admiralty announced that the cruiser Hawke was sunk in the North Sea by a German submarine Thursday. The loss of life is said to be about 327 officers and men. A sister ship, the cruiser Theseus, made Its escape. Berlin official report states that Ostend was taken by the German Army. News dispatches from France say that the city was not bombarded, as their occupation was not hindered. Alsace continues the scene of daily struggles for the possession of points of vantage, the result of which It is difficult to ascertain, as fortunes vary so rapidly. Towns are taken and retaken repeately. Thousands who fled Ostend in row- boats and other small craft arrived at Dover and cities along the French coast without food for thirty-six hours. Continued advances of the Allied forces near the Franco-Belgian frontier are reported by the French War Office bulletins. Estaires has been retaken from the' Germans. Gains at many points along the in trenched lines from Lens and Arras to Verdun and St. Mihiel are also claimed. It is asserted that from six to eight German army corps are operating on the East Prussian frontier, where Berlin reports that the fight ing continues favorable to the Ger mans. Berlin reports that on the battle line in Poland an advance of eight Rus sian army corps was repulsed with ' heavy loss. Rome hears that fire in the arsenal at Triest has destroyed an Austrian dreadnought and damaged other craft. London conceded that the Germans controlled channel ports in Belgium, but it was said they would meet strong resistance by the Allies if an attempt was made to extend the invaders' right wing to the French coast. The main Belgian Army, according to the official proclamation Issued by the Ministry, is In touch with the allied forces, close to the northern frontier. The German Army Headquarters re port stated that there Is nothing new in the situation in France. It dealt mainly with the big battle In Russian Poland. BRITISH ARMY HEALTH WORK. Noted Physicians Named to Accom pany Expeditionary Force. London The War Office has ap pointed Sir John Rose Bradford, Sir Wllnmt llerrlnghaii) and Sir Almroth Wright consulting physicians with the British expeditionary force In i France. Field Marshal Karl Kitchener also Ims decided to appoint a tpeoliil army Sanitary Committee to advise the army council on all questions pertain ing to the health of the troops. BATTLE FRONT HA8 CHANGED ENTIRELY LONDON. It seems is If the struaale has reached such a COmDllcted staae thst even the mogt highly organized general staff Is Incapable of exercising general control over the move ments of any particular group of the armies, and in various quarters of the field the gener als are acting more or less In dependently, The principal fact Is that both armies have executed a most complete change of front since the battle of the Marne. They are now holding vastly more ex tended lines, running almost north and south. The Allies' line stretches from Ghent, or Its environs, to Solssons. For tne past ten days the Germans have concentrated their main efforts on breaking through the centre of the Allied line. Their object has been to reach Amiens and thus control the railroads running north. As a whole, the situation of the Allies daily becomes more favorable. Everywhere they have held their own, and In several places have gained a town. Naval Expert Warns Great Britain to Resist Invasion of Germans London. The naval correspondent of the London Times, In an article la which he Is foreshadowing a Ger man Invasion of England, says: Now that tne war Is reaching the climax of its violence we must an ticipate that all the living forces of Germany will be thrown into the con flict and that the Germany navy no longer will remalu inert. Tho length of our coasts, the ab sence of our best troops over sea, the want of a national army, which Is still only In the forming; the -submarine menace, which keeps our grand fleet often far from the ulti mately decisive point; Zeppelins, mines and other conditions, more or less novel, throw upon Sir John Jelll coe a burden of responsibility whlc'j no one must underrate. With an Intact navy and Initiative much can bo done, and It probably Is hoped that while the German navy engages ours the transports, escorted by the older war ships, mny slip across and complete a landing under the protection of mines, submarines and vessels sunk In the fairway. There is ample shipping In German ports for the embarcatlon of a quarter of a million men or more, and from the evidence ot calmness with which the German generals sacrifice lite to attain their objects we can be sure, that a loss of 50,000 men In transit would be considered a cheap price to pay for throwing the remainder ashore. Are there troops to Bpare? Ger many has three million men on her two frontiers, but she has four million men in her active army, reserve and Landwehr, besides a million and three quarters more in the Landsturm and Ersatz reserve. She may have now a million recruits of the new contln gent at depots. There are reports that over a million men who have es caped service in the past have volun teered. Even If we deduct from these figures half a million men for losses in the field by wounds and illness it will take a great deal to convince us that the number of troops needed for an Invasion of England cannot be found. GERMAN SUBMARINES TO CHANNEL BY RAIL? LONDON. There is a wide spread circulated rumor In Lon don that the Germans expect to transport by rail to places on the Belgian and French coasts a number of submarines, with which to attack the British fleet. The entire feasibility of trans porting submarines overland is the contention of a well-known American engineer here who has had much to do with the study of submarines and the handling of submarine mines. He said: "It would be possible to trans port submarines by rail from Germany to the Belgian or French coasts once the railroad lines were secured, but after reaching the coast then would come the problem of escaping the British war vessels or mine fields." The rumors are that the Ger mans may try to send the sub marines from near the mouth of the Scheldt. BELGIAN THANKS TO FRANCE. King Albert Telegraphs Gratitude to President Polncare. Bordeaux. King Albert, of Belgium, has sent the following telegram to President Polncare: "I am profoundly touched by the hospitality bo cordially offered by France to the Belgian Government, and by the measures taken by the Gov ernment of the republic to assure our full Independence and sovereignly." "We await with confidence the hour I of victory." ALLIES HOLO VM 10 CALAIS Success in Battle for Seaport in France Reported by Paris. Germans Declared To Have Been Repulsed In Attempts To Cross River. The French are reported to have re occupied Armentleres, an Important railway center In Belgium, and to have repulsed a German attempt to cross the River Ysr. The Allies claim to have mado an advanco north of the La Basse Canal and between Arrns and the Olse. The Gcrmnn official report an nounces the capture of Immense quan tities of war material at Bruges and Ostend. An airship which sppeared 'over Warsaw created something of a panic there. It Is proposed to ask the government in tho BrltlBh Parliament a number of pointed questions suggestive of in efficiency In the War Department. According to reports submitted by Lord Kitchener, the British losses in klllod, wounded and mlBsing between September 12 and October 8 total 561 officers and 12,980 men. Crown Princess Cecilia has gone to Danzig to bestow Iron cropses on tho crew of the Germnn submarine that sank the Russian cruiser Tallada. German shells have completely de stroyed the country home of President Polnealre at Sainpigne-sur-Meuse. The Germans are reported to have levied a war tax of $1,000,000 on Ostend. The Russians, Austrlans and Ssr- vlans, according to their respective official reports, have each Inflicted losses on their enemy. REVENGE FOR THE HAWKE. Light Warship Undaunted Assisted By Four Destroyers. London. The British Navy lost none killed and only one officer and four men wounded in the action off the Dutch coast Saturday, when the British protected cruiser Undaunted and four destroyers sent four German destroy ers to the bottom of the North Sea. The crews of the German craft, num bering probably 400, all perished, with the exception of 31, who are now being pent to a British port as prisoners of war. This was officially announced by the war press bureau In a statement Issued shortly after midnight. It was stated thnt the British destroyers were slightly damaged by tho fire of their German antagonists. $10,000 A DAY TAX. Antwerp Official Writes Of Demands Of Germans. London. A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam quotes Councilor Langnor, of Antwerp, ns describing the situa tion In that city as follows: "Ant werp now has a garrison of 17,000 marines and 200 officers, commanded by an admiral. As a war contribution the Germans demanded 300 hundred weight of potatoes daily, 2.000 bottles of wine, bread for the whole garrison, 85,000 cigars, 8,500 kilograms of meat and pay for the officers and soldiers, estimated at $10,000 daily." WOLVES MENACE MONTENEGRINS Snow Forces Them From Mountains To Attack Men. Rome. A dispatch from Cettlnje says: "A close watch at night Is necessary at the military camps not only because of the fear of the enemy, but on account of the dread of wolves, which, when the first snow covered the mountain tops, began to descend and wander in rapacious bands, attacking the living if they cannot find dead." VON KLUCK REPORTED OUT. Wounded Prisoners Declare That He Has Been Supplanted. London. According to wounded Gorman officers who are prisoners in a hospital in England, It is said, Gen. Slxt von Arnlm has succeeded General von Kluck In command of the right wing of the German Army In Franco. It is asserted that this change was made two days after the battle of Marne. MINES IN THE SCHELDT. Germans, the Dutch Hear, Have Placed Them There. Amsterdam. The Germans, accord lng to the Handelsblad, have laid mines In the River Scheldt near Ant werp. Skippers bound for Antwerp have been required to ask instructions how to proceed at Tansweert, a port in the estuary of the Scheldt. COLONEL GREY CAPTURED.

Colonel Grey, a brother of the British Secretary of Foreign Al fairs, was mado prisoner when the aeroplane on which he was acting as observer was brought down by a well directed shot near Peronne, France. His aviator also was captured. 500 GUNS TAKEN AT ANTWERP. Berlin Reports Over 4,000 Prisoners and Much Booty, Washington, D. C. The German Em bassy received the following official wireless report from Berlin: "Official headquarters reports that near Ant werp between 4,000 and 5,000 prison ers were taken; that among the war booty are 500 cannon, 4,000' tons of grain and plenty of wool, metal and cattle. The harbor works are undam aged." The French attacks near Albert GO KPllNllFNT CMS A GRAPH LUIUI1UL.II I UIILU II Ulllll IIIU DESCRIPTION OF FALL OF ANTWERP International News Service. London. A correspondent writing from Bergen-op-Zoom, Holland, gives a vivid description of the entry of the German army into Antwerp. The bulk of the kaiser's force did not enter the city until Saturday after noon, when 60,000 men passed In re view before General von Schultz, mili tary governor of Antwerp, and Admi ral von Schroeder, who, surrounded by a glittering staff, sat their horses in front of the royal palace In the Place de Melr. "For five hours the mighty host poured through the streets of the de serted city, whtlo the houHes shook to the thunder of their tread," he writes. "Company after company, reg iment after regiment, brigade after brlgude, swept past until the eye grew weary of watching the ranks of gray under Blunting lines of steel. "As they marched they sang, the canyon formed by tho high buildings along the Place de Melr echoing to their voices roaring out 'Die Wacht am Rhcln' and 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.' Like an Election Parade. "Each regiment was headed by Its field music and colors, and when dark ness fell and street lamps were light ed the shrill music of fifes, the rattle of drums and the tramp of marching feet reminded me of a torchlight elec tion parade. Hard on the heels of the infantry rumbled artillery, battery after bat tery. Behind the field batteries rumbled the quick flrers the same pompoms whose acquaintance I had made at Weerde and elsewhere. And then, heralded by a blare of trumpets and a crash of kettledrums, came tke cav alry, cuirassiers In helmets and breastplates of burnished steel, hus sars In befrogged jackets and fur bus- bleB, and finally the uhlans, riding amid forests of lances under a cloud of fluttering pennons. 'But this was not all, nor nearly all, for after the uhlans came the blue Jackets of the naval division, broad shouldered, bewhlskered fellows, with caps worn raklshly and a roll of the sea In their gait. Then the Bavarian Infantry in dark blue, the Saxon infantry in light blue, and Auetrlans in uniforms of beautiful silver gray, and last of all a squadron of gendurmes in silver and bottle green. "As that fighting machine swung paBt I could not but marvel at how the gallant, chivalrous and .coura geous but ill-prepared little -army of Belgium had held It bark as long as It bad. Few See Entry, The most remarkable feature of this wonderful spectacle was that there were comparatively few persons to see it. So far as onlookers were concerned the Germans might as well have marched through the streets of Pompeii. Another American and I, standing on the balcony of the Ameri can consulate, were the only specta tors, so far as I know, In the whole length of the Place de Melr, which Is the State street of Antwerp. It re minded me of a circus that bad come to town a day before It was expected." A feature of the procession was a victoria drawn by a fat white horse and with two soldiers on the box, which accompanied a regiment of Ba varians. Both horse and carriage were decorated with flowers. It was evidently a species of triumphal char lot, for it was filled with hampers of champagne. Pay for What They Take. The correspondent says the German soldiers treat the townspeople with consideration, paying in German sil ver for what they take from the Bhops. Describing the fear of the Antwerp citizens when the kalBer's soldiers en tered, the correspondent says: 'When the main body of troops be gan entering the city on Saturday morning the townspeople those who bad not escaped from the city ruBhed out with beer, cheese, bread and flow ers, evidently with the Idea of placat ing them by means of their pitiful little offerings. It was not a pleas ant sight, but these people have been bo terrified by tales of German bar barities that one can hardly blams them." The correspondent estimates that less than one hundred civilians were killed during the bombardment. Havoc Wrought by Shells. Telling of the rain of shells which swept the city, he says: 'A 42-centlmeter Bhell tore com pletely through a handsome stone house next door to United States Con sul General Diedcrlch's residency, crossed the street and exploded In the upper story of a school. There Is not block in the Boulevard Leopold thr.t does not contain several shattered houses. No buildings were damaged In Place de Melr, though three shell's struck the pavement, tearing holes as large as a grand ptuno. "A shell entered the roof of the Ho tel St. Antolne, passed through two bathrooms and exploded in the room occupied 48 hours before by the Rus sian minister, destroying everything In It.
