(Summary of Events)
The ticrmans have raptured
Antwerp chief seaport and tem-
porary capital of Urlgiuni after
a siege of two weeks They have
imposed a fine of one hundred
million dollars on the citizens for
resisting the invaders and have short bombardment
taken over the civil administra
tidn
line and into Belgium Along the
greater pait of the front however
the untagonists seem content to
watch each other without attempting
any definite movements
French Much Encouraged
The strong German ye-enforce-ments
which appeared on the Bel-
gian frontier in the region of Lille
according to a late report have made
no progress in any point and at cer-
tain points' the Bermans have moved
back particularly to the north of Ar-
ras where the lighting is developing
under conditions favorable to the
Allies
The cavalry are fighting even fur-
ther north than this and the French
communication says operations have
developed almost to the North sea
Around Hove where the Bermans cap-
j lured important heights from the
French last week the French have
regained some of the positions
Nearer and Nearer to Antwerp
The present front is within about
sixty-eight miles of Antwerp 'where
the Belgians offered such heroij
resistance to the bombardment of the
heavy German artillery Further down
toward the center of the line the se-
verest fighting continues at Roye

Holland May Fight I

British and German Interests For 1
Paris killing five persons and wound
ing nearly lorty by dropping bombs
Propeitv diuage has been small
During the last day of the siege of
Antwerp German aviators dropped
bombs on the city killing twenty non-
com butnnts
Refugees a Grave Problem
What to do with the refugees of
Antwerp to be of any use to Germany the war is a grave problem that has
as a base for naval or aerial opera! ‘ been forced on all the governments
tions against England the kaiser musf I of Europe belligerent and neutral
control- the mouth of fhe Scheldt Fully five hundred thousand people
which Is altogether in Dutch hand3 1 fled from Antwerp Correspondents
Germany is urging the Dutch govern ! in tlie field attempt to describe the
ment to relinquish that control Such pitiful the ghastly scenes among the
diplomatic success by Germanv would 'women and children struggling along
be a direct violation of the neutrality j the roads bordering the frontier of
of Holland
In Northwestern France
Allies’ left wing the main positions
of the contending forces now reach
the Belcian border while beyond
those points masses of cavalry con-
tinue the struggle over the frontier
Holland
the J tempt
Many small Dutch towns have been
forced to close their g’ates as they
cannot accomodate anv more refugees
France and Ena'a-d are feeling the
pressure too esc Ial’y France It is
calculated thi almost 1 million more
persons have fled Into Central West-
ern and Southern Fiance from th
north and Northeast of France and
from Belgium
'All of these are destitute in the lit-
eral sense of tho word — witiout
money without clothes except such
as they are wearing) wPuout home3
or belongings of any kin' They are
beset by hunger and disease and thei:
sufferings have been such that their
spirits are broken an I it is impossible
to expect them to do useful work that
will compensate fur the cost of feed-
ing and housing them
Eastern Battle Line Long
The big battle line between the com-
blnet Au8tro-Gerinan anries and the
legions of Russia extends from the
Galician frontier near Tarnow north
to the East Prussian border Another
Russian force is besieging Przemysl
in Galicia and still another is invad-
ing Hungary On the Fast Prussian
frontier the fighting appears to have
come to a standstill for the present
The Russians have driven the Ger-
mans back after their advance to the
Niemen river found on getting to the
German border that re-onforcements
had been brought from KoenLsberg
and their further process was arrest-
ed The Germr in fact claim to
have defeated the Russians near Su-
walkl and to haw- taken prison
ers and nine mat Pine guns
Fighting on a larger scale soon will
be resumed and it will then be de-
cided whether the Germans ate to in-
vade Russiu in tills region or tlie Rus-
sians are to overrun Prussia
Austrians Advancing
' In Southwestern Poland the Austro
German armies have advanced along
both banks of the Vistula river with
the object of compelling the Russians
to evacuate j art of Galicia antfr ac-
cording to their reports have defeat-
ed them capturing 4 ''On prisoners
The Russians reply that they al
lowed the enemy to advance as far as
the Opntow yandomir front In order to
force them to abandon their strongly
intrenched position near Kielce and
accept battle in the open country
Since this battle nothing has come
through comerning tlie movements of
the two armies
The advance of the Russians into
Hungary has aroused intense feeling
In Rumania with respect to Transyl-
vania and a section of that countrv
la' advocating t hat Rumania join the
Allies so that with the end of the war
should victory rest with the Allies
Rumania may fall heir to that part
of the Austro-Hungarian empire
Japs Dominate Tsing Tau
Peking— The Japanese have mount-
ed siege guns on Prince Henry moun-
tain which entirely dominates all
three of the Tsing Tau forts accord-
ing to advices reaching Peking These
forts are named Bismarck Moltke and
litis and are three or four miles
from the mountain The attack on
Tsing Tiu may begin any day Prior
to it a demand for surrender will be
made

Rare Animals Are Added to the Washington Zoo
WASHINGTON-r-From Jhe almost Impenetrable wilds of South America
have been brought to the Washington Zoological gardens a number of
specimens of fauna and fowl regarded as among the most Interesting and
rare of the present collection Though
It Is Impracticable to' take In many
birds and beasts at the present time
due to the crowded accommodations
officials say the new specimens were
admitted on account of their rarity
and their experimental worth in de-
termining whether they can withstand
this climate and thrive on the food
the zoologists are prepared to give
them
Perhaps the oddest of the new
acquisitions is a Venezuelan sloth "as
large as a tomcat" distinguished by the absence of teeth The animal 1b de-
scribed as inhabiting forests and feeding on the Juices of fruits It is a slug-
gish creature and is a nocturnal prowler seldom seen by day as It hides iu
the hollows of the trees Long claws and a soft coat of fur of protective
coloring completes his characteristics Tne animal was caught by William
Fevilje a collector of New York city who makes periodical visHs to the
southern jungles in quest of animals to supply American zoos
Another of the late additions is a Guiana weasel slightly larger than the
familiar American weasel The possession of the latter completes a pair ol
these animals as one was already in the local collection
Other specimens supplied by Mr FeviUe were a large number of birds
from South America all of them marked by luxuriant and beautiful plumage
Rarest 'of these are a pair of mot mots so called from the character ol
their cry They are related to the American kingfisher and are distinguished
by a growth of tail feathers of unusual length They inhabit the densest for-
ests and feed on insects and lizards Their plumage is green and reddish
brown relieved by a prominent blue band across the forehead
x Considerable doubt is felt among their new guardianB as to whether they
can be kept here unused as they are to the food and climate of thiB part ol
the world They are the first the local zoo has had and are regarded as
extremely rare birds

THREE FRENCH SOLDIERS
PUT GERMANS TO FLIGHT
Bordeaux — The story of how three
French soldiers captured two German
quick flrers and put to flight two com-
panies of German infautry is related
In a letter sent home by the captain
of a company of infantry which is
fighting on the Aisne
Two corporals and a private in re-)
connoitering craw led within ten yards ‘
of the German trenches Most of the
German soldiers were away to get
their dinners and the officers wera
some distance back of the guns The
three Frenchmen sprang into the
trenches and turned the guns on the
unsuspecting Germans who fled com
municatlng the panic to two companies
French artillerymen who had been
watching the proceedings then opened
Are and exterminated the Germans
The same night tho two corporals
were made second lieutenants and the
soldier was made a sergeant major as
a reward for their daring
Prepare to Trade Prisoners
' Paris — The government is aBsemb
ling exact information regarding the
identity of seventy thousand German
prisoners now in French hands with
the object of exchanging this data
with the German authorities for sim-
ilar facts regarding French prisoners
The French ministry of war has Is-
sued regulations under which money
may be sent from France to French
prisoners in Germany and also from
Germany to German prisoners In
France through the Swiss postal administration
CAPTURE OF ANTWERP
COST GERMANS HEAVILY
London — "According to reports from
Brussels the siege of Antwerp cost
the Germans heavily As early as last
Thursday five trains of forty wagons
each left with wounded for Aix"
Part of the Antyretp garrison and
two thousand of the British naval vol-
unteers Who crossed Into Holland and
laid downthelrv arms hare been In
j terned and will have to remain there
i until the end of the war Some of the
Germans also unwittingly crossed the
frontier and were similarly treated
Of refugees there appears to be no
end The Dutch towns are now crowd-
ed with people who left their homes In
Belgium and the Hollanders are find-
ing some difficulty in providing for
them England also continues to be a
place of refuge for many fugitives be-
sides wounded officers and men who
are crossing from Ostend on the reg-
ular steamers
So far as can be ascertained the
damage done to Antwerp by the bom-
bardment was not so severe as at first
feared The cathedral art gallery
museum and other public buildings
are In the northwestern part of the
city along’ the Scheldt which the
shells did not reach The Germans
used lighter guns after they had bat-
tered down the forts
A Berlin report says these heavy
guns have been sent to France If this
is so probably the Verdun forts along
the French frontier which are hinder-
ing the German advance are to be at-
tacked with them
How Uncle Sam Got in Bad With Capital Woman
OUR UNCLE 8AM Is In bad with one woman In this town and there may
be others This one particular woman — so particular that she had drawn
her little three hundred out of a first mortgage to put it In postal savings ao
that she could feel that she "needn’t
worry no matter what happened"—
this woman went over to the postal
grating at the Avenue post office and
found the window closed The de-
partment had been removed to the
new building next to Union station
Her companion — another woman-
accepted the transfer with the equa-
nimity of one who has no savings to
bother over
“I don’t mind going with you The
car here will take us right to the door"
But the postal woman bad paused to make an estimate!
“That means four car tickets coming and going And if 1 have to pay
fare and lose so many minutes running to the other end of the city every
time I want to add a couple of dollars to my account it will eat up the inter-
est and cost more good working hours than I can afford Which shows how
stupid I was to sell that mortgage Come along"
"AH right But we can’t possibly walk it you know It’s an awful dis-
tance to that new post office snd the doctor told me not to—"
But the postal woman intended neither to walk nor ride to any new
postal window
Sorry I ve got to move that money again but— Want to go with me
to see Mr Blank about a new mortgage?"
And the atone eagle chirped out to the flagpole one simple little word:
"Swat!" j
Senator McCumber Sees Funny Side of' Things
SENATOR PORTER JAMES M’CUMBER of North Dakota has a keen sense
of the ridiculous though to look at the serious expression of his smooth-
shaven face one would never suspect it But if there Is anything funny on
the horizon he will see it even though
he has to borrow a marine glass
In a fashionable photographer’s
studio in town is an exquisitely carved
chair used much for the posing of
celebrities of the feminine sex in eve-
ning dress The top Is surmounted
by a richly carved angel bending for-
ward in a graceful attitude It Is a
beautiful piece of work but scarcely
appropriate for the setting in which
to place a Tammany alderman
One day McCumber went to the
studio to attend to a bit of business and on his way out passed the "operat-
ing room" in which place Charles W Fairbanks then the vice-president sat
os the victim He was posed in this elaborate chair and just over his tall
form hovered the wooden angel In Its airy attire
When McCumber went out be began to laugh and a friend who saw bln
chuckling inquired the cause
"Why one of the richest sights I ever saw was Just now up In Blank's
photograph gallery" the senator replied “for there sat Fairbanks looking as
solemn as an owl in a big chair with an angel pecking at his bald spot"
Moonlight Tango Under Monument a Capital Fad
SOCIETY folk of the nation’s capital have at lost found something new It
is the "moonlight harvest tango" an outdoor affair danced on the green
sward surrounding the Washington monument Here is the formula: One or
two automobiles filled with women and
their partners dancing kind preferred
Add plenty of wraps to prevent danc-
ers taking cold One dash through
the Speedway to a secluded spot on
the Mall where the headlights from
the automobiles are used for illumina-
tion purposes Spread la probes care-
fully on the ground In Turkish fash-
ion for use after the dances Use
leather seats' for tables Carry full
supply of grapejulce lemonade sand-
wiches and other refreshments Turn
on Vlctrola and tango Several of these parties have been held recently
Congressional circles are all agog about the Idea and It Is hinted that the fad
will even permeate Into diplomatic and other circles
The spot selected for the new dance 1s one of the most beautiful In Wash-
ington Directly back of the White House Is the wonderful Mall It extends
south of the executive mansion to the Potcfiac river one or two miles Beau-
tiful drives skirt Its boundaries
All Washington Is on wheels these days so far as tlia younger portion
of the population is concerned In other words the young folks are on skates
Every street that has a bill la being utilized for coasting Twentieth street
northwest is one of the best for this sport Starting at Florida avenue boys
and girls take advantage of the drop In grade and come whizzing dawn the
smooth asphalt
Both entrances to the German embassy near Thomas circle are favorite
coasting places for young girls Sixteenth street with Its long hill offers
one of the best coasting places In the city but It Is little used on account of
the great amount of automobile traffic there

"the senate has to ratify It and then
the president has to — has to veto It

and knit her pretty forehead “Oh
yes! I remember now" she said “The
house of representatives has to ad-
