THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURO, PA. I 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 Operation Stops Turning Movement by Either Army. Victory in Campaign Will Go to Army That First Masses Force Strong Enough to Break Through Front -:o: KAISER SENDING STRONG COLUMNS TO REINFORCE 1 IIS INTRENCHED TROOPS London. The German attempt to prevent th Allies In northern France from extending their lines to the coast failed and a heavy Anglo-French force stretching 23 miles, from Vpres, Bel glum, to the North Sea at a point about half way between Dunkirk and Ostend barred the advance of the Kaiser's army from the Belgian re sort town. The Kaiser is rushing forward 200, 000 or 300,000 fresh troops to the Bel glan coast. The Allies are streng thening their left as rapidly as pos sible. In the meantime, Gen. von Kluck's men are not idle and the Anglo-French left In the Lllle-Ypres region is kept busy holding Its own. The French ofnclal reports tell of the capture of Leventle, a railroad town eight miles northwest of Bethune. The see-saw movement of the con tending troops In the North Is well Illustrated by the following news from Bordeaux, to the French Embassy at London: "The Germans have ad vanced from Audenarde toward C'ourtral. The enemy occupy a line of defense Meroln-ArmentiereB-Glven-chy. To the west of La Basse he Is In contact with our troops between that locality and Arras. A violent combat took place northwest of Lens to Vermelles. which resulted in our favor. We have taken Hannes 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 little action along the center. In an official statement Issued by the German General Staff It was suit ed that at no point had the French succeeded In making any Important advances: Where the French have gained ground was said to be at points where for strategical reasons the Germans had withdrawn.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 burring Gprman progress toward Dunkirk and CaJals. In Lorraine a French army Is al most within Bhot of Metz, an fiffen slve 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, thow 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 right wing and the Allied left wing now rest upon the seacoast. The Allied line now runs from Nleuport through Dlxmude to Vpres, while Gen. Joffre is steadily pressing back the Germans lu the reirlnn 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 lnr the areatest 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 British commanders, who are receiving reports from their aerial scouts of any movement lu strength. It Is believed, however, that the Germans are striking for the outer railway system, now In French hands. which runs from Pnrls through Amiens nnd Arras to Hnzebruw-k Junction, and thence to Calais and the coust. Thus far, nrconllng to the French reports, the Allies h;.v, repulsed every attempt of the Germans to . achieve this object, and now have SOLDIERS GET HOME NEWS.

The Westminster Gazette says that the Dally Mall has done an excellent piece of work In starting en edition of thut paper enpeclally for keeping soldiers In touch with l'ome news. lord Northcllffe has given his personal attention In France to this pap r and Its distribution. Men In the trenches have their dally paper. Experlenro has shown that the greatest demand Is for football news. them pressed well back from the threatened rullway. 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 RUSSO-GERMAN CAMPAIGN. The Hague. The main armies of the contending forces, the Russians on one side and the Austrians 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 lighting so far 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 flgh'.Iug but eight miles from the Polish cap ital. Nevertheless, the Russians War Office insists the German advance has been checked. The Russians claim to 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.

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 remain Inert. The 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 sub marine menace, which keeps our grand fleet often fur 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, may 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 of calmness with which the German generals sacrifice life to attain their objects we can be sure, that a loss of 00,000 men In transit would be considered a cheap price to pay for throwing the remainder ashore. Are there troops to spare? 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 contin gent at depots. There are reports that over a million men who have es caped service In the past have volun teered. Even It 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 RAILT LONDON. There it a wide spread circulated rumor In Lon don that the Germant expect to transport by rail to placet on the Belgian and French coattt a number of tubmarinet, with which to attack the British fleet. The entire feasibility of trana porting tubmarinet overland la the contention of a well-known American engineer here who hat had much to do with the ttudy of tubmarinet and the handling of submarine mines. He said: "It would be possible to trans port submit Ines by rail from Germany to the Belgian or French coasts once the railroad lines were tecured, but after reaching the coast then would come the problem of escaping the British war vessels or mine fields." The rumort are that the Ger mans may try to tend the tub marinet from near the mouth of the Scheldt. BELGIAN THANK8 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 so 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 sovereignty."

The Allies claim to have made an advance north of the La Basse Canal and between Arrns and the Olse. The German official report an nounces the capture of Immense quan tities of war material at Bruges and Ostend. An airship which appeared 'over Warsaw created something of a panic there.

According to reportt submitted by Lord Kitchener, the British losses in killed, wounded and missing between September 12 and October 8 total 561 officers and 12,980 men. Crown Princess Cecilia has gone to Danzig to bestow iron crosses on the crew of the German submarine that sank the Russian cruiser Pallnda. German shells have completely de stroyed the country home of President Polncalre at Sampigne-sur-Meuse. The Germans are reported to have levied a war tax of $1,000,000 on Ostend. The Russians. Austrians and Ser vians, according to thelf respective official reports, have each inflicted losses on their enemy. REVENGE FOR THE HAWKE. Light Warship Undaunted Assisted By Four Dettroyert. 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 harbor works are undam aged." The French attacks near Albert Dave been repulsed. GORRESPD International Newt 8ervlce. 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 kalser'a force did not enter the city until Saturday after noon, when 80,000 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 horsee 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, while the houses shook to the thunder of their tread," he writes. "Company after company, reg iment after regiment, brigade after brigade, swept past until the eye grew weary of watching the ranks of gray under slanting lines of Bteel. "As they marched they sang, the canyon formed by the high buildings along the Place de Melr echoing to their voices roaring out 'Die Wacht am Rheln' and 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.' Like an Election Parade. "Each regiment waa 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 the cav alry, cuirassiers in helmets and breastplates of burnished steel, hus sars In befrogged jackets and fur bus bies, 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 Austrians in uniforms of beautiful silver gray, and last of all a squadron of gendarmes 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 back as long as It had. 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 had 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 shops. Describing the fear of the Antwerp citizens when the kaiser's soldiers en tered, the Correspondent says: "When the tualn body of troops be gan entering the city on Saturday morning the townspeople those who bad not escaped from the city rushed 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 so terrified by tales of German bar barities that one can hardly blame 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-centimeter shell tore com pletely through a handsome stone house next door to United States Con sul General Diederich's residence, crossed the street and exploded In the upper story of a school. There Is not a block In the Boulevard Leopold Unit does not contain several shattered houees.

"A shell entered the roof of the Ho tel St. Aiitolne, passed through two bathrooms and exploded in the room occupied 48 hours before by the Rus sian minister, destroying everything In it.
