(Summary of Events )
The Germans have captured
Antwerp chief seaport and tem-
porary capital of Belgium 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
taken over the civil administra-
tion When it was seen that Antwerp
could not hold out indefinitely
against the kaiser’s great guns
the seat of government and royal
family hurried to Ostend a fam-
ous seaside resort just across the
channel from England The Ger-
mans have sent a strong column
toward Ostend in an effort to cap-
ture the royal family It is re-
ported that the queen and her
children have fled to England
The city of Antwerp has not
been badly damaged The archi-
tectural monuments including the
cathedral the public library the
city hall and the art museum
are untouched When the Ger-
man commander sent notice to the
Belgians that he was about to
bombard the city the defenders
sent him a map indicating the po
lio sod loto Belgium Along th
imter part of tb front however
th antagonists seem content to
welch each other without attempting
any d-rinlte movement
French Much Encouraged
The atrong German re-enforce-menta
which appeared on tb Bel-
gian frontier In the region of Lille
according to n late report have mad
no progrea In any point and at cer-
tain polnta the Germana have moved
back particularly to the north of Ar-
ras where th fighting le developing
under condition favorable to th
Alllea
Tb cavalry nr fighting even fur
ther north than thta and th French
communication aaye operations have
developed almost to the North
Around Roys where th Germana cap-
tured Important heights from th
French last week the French have
regained aome of the position
Nearer and Nearer to Antwerp
The present front la within about
sixty-eight mile of Antwerp where
the Beglan offered euch heroic
resistance to the bombardment of th
heavy German artillery Further down
toward the center of the line the ee-
verest fighting continues at Roy
Relma again haa been subjected to a
short bombardment
From the north of Alsne where two
forward movement! by the Anglo-
French troop have been mentioned
within the last few days the Germana
seem to have withdrawn aome of their
men probably to atrengthen their ex-
treme right around which the Allies
have been trying to work ever alnce
the battle began nearly four week
ago
The long extension of the battle
line which now has gone beyond the
four rivers Scarpe Somme Oise and
Alsne waa Initiated by the Allies In
an endeavor to find a solution of the
problem of ousting the Germana from
their strong position In Northeastern
France In these poettlona the Ger-
mans bad been besieged nearly a
month alnce the conclusion of the
bloody battle of the Marne a frontal
attack being considered Inexpedient
by the Allies
Aeroplane Bomba Deadly
During the last week German avi-
ators have flown several time over
BtVIS w ----- — -
lent him a map indicating iuc pu- pjuigi killing five persons and wound-
Bition of these famous buildings ns Jeary forty by dropping bombs
and assured him they would not property damage has been small
i j manner tft iiirl the tha last dflv of the siege ol
be used in any manner to aid the
defenders
Holland May Fight
The fall of Antwerp places Holland
squarely between the millstone of
British and German Interest For
Antwerp to be of any use to Germany
as a base for naval or aerial opera-
tions against England the kaiser must
control the mouth of the Scheldt
which la altogether In Dutch hand
Germany la urging the Dutch govern-
ment to relinquish that control Such
diplomatic success by Germany vould
be a direct violation of the neutrality
of Holland
In Northwestern France on the
Allies' left wing the main positions
of the contending forces now reach
the I’elilan border while beyond
thc-i points masses of cavalry con-
tinue the struggle over the frontier
During the last day of the siege of
Antwerp German aviators dropped
bombs on the city killing twenty non-
combatanta Refugees a Grave Problem
What to do with the refugees of
the war Is a grave problem that has
been forced on all the governments
of Europe belligerent and neutral
Fully five hundred thousand people
fled from Antwerp Correspondents
In the Held aUempt to describe the
pitiful the ghastly scenes among the
women and children struggling along
the roads bordering the frontier of
Holland and then give up the at-
tempt Many small Dutch towns have been
forced to close fbetr gate as they
cannot accomodate any more refugees
France and England are feeling the
pressure too especially France It Is
calculated that almoat 1 milium more
persons have fled fnla Central eat-
ers and Southern Franc from th
north and northeast of France and
from Belgium
All of three are deetltute In the lit-
eral tens of th word-elthout
money without clothe (except such
ns they are wearing) without homes
or belonging of any kind They are
beset by hunger and disease and their
sufferings have been such that their
spirits a: broken and It is linpoeilbl
to expect them to do useful work that
will compenaate for the cost of feed
lng and housing them
Eastern Battle Lin Long
The big battle line between the com-
blned Austro -German nrmlen and th
legions of Russia extends from th
Galician frontier near Jnrnow north
to th East Prussian border Another
Russian force Is besieging Prxemysl
In Galicia and still another I Invad-
ing Hungary On th East Prussian
frontier th fighting appear to bar
come to n standstill for th preienL
The Russian have driven th Ger-
man back after their advance to th
Nlemen river found on getting to th
German border that re-enforcement
had been brought from Koenlgeberg
and their further progrese wa arrest-
ed The Germane In fact claim to
have defeated the Russiane near 8u-
walk! and to have taken 700 prison-
ers and nine machine guns
Fighting on n larger ecal soon will
be resumed and It will then be de-
cided whether th Germans nr to in-
vade Russia In this region or th Rus-
sians are to overrun Prussia
Austrians Advancing
In Southwestern Poland the Auatro-
German nrmlea have advanced along
both banks of the Vistula river with
the object of compelling the Russian
to evacuate part of Galicia and ac-
cording to their reports have defeat-
ed them capturing 4800 prisoners
The Russians reply that they al-
lowed the enemy to advance aa far at
the Opatow-Sandoralr front In order to
force them to abandon their strongly
Intrenched position near Klelce and
accept battle In the open country
Since this battle nothing has come
through concerning the movements of
the two armies
The advance of the Russians Into
Hungary has aroused Intense feeling
In Rumania with respect to Transyl-
vania and section of that country
Is advocating that Rumania Join the
Alllea 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
