Tbo Germans bare begun active
operations agslnst Antwerp, temporary
capital of Belgium. Their heavy ar-
tillery has attacked Llerre. a fortress
nine miles southeast of the city. The
Belgians are reported, however, to
have re-occupled Malines. They have
been very active against the Germans
at every opportunity.
Shelling Antwerp Forts.
London.—With the Qerman attack
on the outer fortlflcations of Antwerp,
Belgium again has become the scene
of serious operations. The lnvadera,
so far, have contlned their attack to
the forts protecting the Hver cross'
Ings between Malines and Antwerp.
A German report says that two forts
have been silenced, but the Belgians
deny this.
Brussels Near Starvation
London.—Seven hundred thousand
persons In Brussels are facing starva
tion, according to Hugh Glbaon, the
secretary of the American embassy
there, who is now in this city. Efr
forts to get food from Antwerp have
failed.
Germans Hold Position*.
Despite the optimism of Russian of
Bclal statements concerning the oper-
ations against Germany's East Prus-
sian army, the aituatlon is really un-
satisfactory from the Slav standpoint.
The Germans have penetrated fifty
miles into Russian territory and are
maintaining themselves la force oa
the Russian side of the entirs Rasa-
German frontier.
Winter Germany's Ally.
While time is of the utmost value
to Germany in lta French operntiena,
every week of delay forced upon the
Russians means a week nearer the
winter weather that will ally itself
with the Gennsn defense. For this
reason Austria's desperate resistance
in Gallcla la of great value to Ger-
many.

(Summary of Events.)
Fully confident that one or two
inore days of assault all along the
line would drive the German
army of invasion entirely out
of northeastern and northern
France, the Allies have been dis-
appointed again by an unexpect-
ed and vigorous rally of Gen. Von
Kluck's forces.
The battle front is once more
where it was when the general en-
gagement along the Aisne river
began on September 12. Military
observers say now there can be
no decision in this struggle until
one side simply crushes the other
with outnumbering forces. Just
now both armies are being stead-
ily and equally re-enforced, so it
appears there will be no decisive
result for an indefinite period.

From September 28 to October 3 the

No Result in East Prussia.
Petrograd. — The general staff
headquarters has issued the following
official statement:
"The battle on the front in Eastern
Prussia continues on the line of
Mirismpol. No decisive result has
been obtained. We have at last oc-
cupied the German position at
Preskasno, west of 8ymno. Under a
night of offensive attack by the Rus-
sians the enemy retired from Lel-
pouny, in the direction of Buwalki.

mans, pursued by the Russian cavalry

To Leave Capital.
Vienna,—In anticipation of the Im-
pending siege of Vienna, the emperor
snd the cabinet have decided on the
removal of the capital from Vienna
to Prague. The date for the removal
dam, Holland, from the louth state \ has not been decided, but It will be

crushing flank movement not far
south of Ostend, Belgium, when the
Germans rallied and pushed back the
French-British left vtsf.
A similar operation took place In
the eastern field, except, however, the
positions of the opponents were re-
versed. The Germans hsd silenced
some of the important forta around
Verdun, a French army base, and were
beginning a serious penetration into
eastern France. The French rallied,
drove the Germans clear back into
Lorraine and penetrated German ter-
ritory through the Voages mountain
paases. But they haven't gone much
beyond the mountains.
Watch Nortnwest Battle.
Severe artillery duelling haa been
almost constant in the general neigh-
borhood north of Rhelms, where the
Germans have entrenched infantry
along the Alsne river ai^l have em-
battled siege guns and other heavy ar-
tillery In the foothills of the Ardennes
mountains.

London.—The Russian armies eon
tlnue to sweep through Gallcla and.
according to a report from Rome, that
province of the Austrian empire Is
clear of Austrian troops. What Is
meant Is that the Held armies of Aus-
tria have either gone into the tort*
resses of Prsemyal and Cracow, or
have retreated to the south and west
Austrian Troops Leave Prance.
London.—A message from Maa-
stricht, according to a Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam, says that
5,000 Austrian troopa have arrived at
Alx-la-Chappelle from France on the
way to the Austro-Russlan front
German-Austrian Merge
London.—It la officially announced
at Vienna, according to a Rome dis-
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company, that a Junction haa been ef-
fected between the new German army
and the remnanta of the Austrian
army which fought In the Gallclan bat-

Big Army at Cracow.
London.—It is officially announced
at Vienna, according to a Rome dis-
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company, that the Austro-uerman
army concentrated at Cracow numbers
million.
Italy Slurs Austria.
Italy haa taken what Is generally
accepted aa the first step leading to
an outbreak with Austria. The Italian
ambassador at Vienna haa been in-
atructed to proteEt vigorously the
strewing of mines by Austria in the
Adriatic sea. Since these mines are
the only protection of the Austrian
fleet which remains near the forts of
Pola, It Is not likely the Austrlans
will remove the ntlnea. It will be up
to Italy to enforce the protest with
army and navy.
Auetria Offers Indemnity.
Rome.—The Austrian government
baa replied to the Italian protest
sgalnst the floating mines In the Adri-
atic sea. Austria deplores the sinking
of Italian vessels and promises to
take measures to remove the menace
to ahlpplng and to fully indemnify the
families of the victims. It Is reported
that Italy demands an Indemnity from
Austria of $1,000,000.
Dispatches from Rome state that
Italy will have 1,390,000 men equipped
and in the field by the middle of Oc-
tober, wben the oldest claases of ac-
tive reserves {dating back to 1885)
will Join the colors. Every able-
bodied man under 30 yeara old Is now
under arms. The Austrlans are throw-
Ing up defense works all along the
Italian frontier, the report continues,
and the lines are being manned by
the landwehr, or oldest reserves. Fac-
tories making big guns are working
night and day to finish the supply of
modern cannon which has been or-
dered by the Italian army.
Battle at Talng Tsu.
The Japanese are reported to have
reduced two of the forts guarding the
German colony and naval baae at
Talng Tao, in the Chinese leased

which cannonaded the Japanese po I-
tlons near Talng Tau, eaat of the gov-
ernment of Kaio Chow, the German
leased territory In China.-Two offl
cera were killed. German aeroplanes

there that Emperor-William of Ger-
many haa aent a telegram to the king
of Greece warning him that If Greece

existence of Greece. King Constan
tine replied, the dispatch declarea,
that If any of the Balkan states took
up arm a on either side, Greece would
declare for the triple entente.
Germans teee Territory.
Germany has loat territory greater
than the sise^of the empire's area In

Reports of divisions in General
Francisco Villa's army were confirmed

partial sources. The Arrieta brothers,

tutionalist troops in ths state of Da-
tango, are said to have revolted to

were confirmed. Tones Urblna. one

While nominally attached to Villa's
division the Arrieta brothers, Domin-
go and Mariano, on previous occasions
have refused to obey his orders.
At ths time of Villa's final attack
1 Torrsoa he ordered the Arrietas
to Join him before that town with
their brigadee.
*" They refused, saying they would not
lead their troops out of their home
stats. Villa issued aa order for their
arrest but was unsble to spare troops
to carry out ths ordsr. It was said
that Carransa'a visit to Durango in
May was to adjust these differences.
As a result of his visit Mariano Arrie-
ta was placed in command in Durango
