of dashing bayonet charges’ gallant
cavalry actions and obstinate bom-
bardments is about to be struck.
France awaits the end of th? three
weeks’ struggle with confidence
while casting an eye upon Ant-
werp.
It now seems certain that the
forts in the cuter rim of the Ant-
werp defenses still ar? occupied by
th? defenders but these must have
suffered greatly. Th? desperate ef-
forts on the part of the Germans to
cross the river Nethe where their
advance lines rest have been re-
pulsed. Along this line one of the
great German siege guns is said to
have been lost in a swamp. If this
is true it is a serioug disaster to
the Germans for the huge weapons
are not easy to replace.
(Armans Stopped at River.
The latest reports from the be-
sieged city indicate that two at-
tempts of the Germans to cross the
river Nethe have been smothered
by the defenders’ artillery.
The Antwerp correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph telegraphing in re-
gard to the fighting around Ant-
werp under date of Saturday says:
“The Germans continue their des-
perate efforts to capture Antwerp.
They are in a desperate hurry to ac-
complish It pounding away unceas-
ingly with their artillery at Forts
Waelhem and Havre-St. Catherines
and flinging their infantry forward
in frantic efforts to break through.
“Their losses have been enormous
and the numbers killed are esti-
mated as high as 8000 during the
present movement.
“The Belgians adopted a (jlever
ruse at Wae’bem. After the bom-
bardment had lasted several hours
the fort ceased to reply whereupon
the German staff thinking the fort
out of action ordered the infantry
to advance in close formation. The
Belgian- gunners waited until the.v
could see the whites of their eyes
and then opened a murderous fire. •
“Thus far the forts In the outer
ring of the Antwerp defenses have
suffered little harm from the Ger-
ujan bombardment. The German big
guns are not being worked by regu-
lar soldiers but by men ii» citizens
clothing who wear only an armlet
to indicate their military occupa-
tion. Undoubtedly these men are
employes of the Krupp factory has-
tily summoned to replace the losses
among the regular gun-layers. The
heaviest German guns are located
north of Vilvorde where founda-
tions of reinforced concrete have
been prepared.
“The German shells have prac-
tically wiped out most of the little
tillages and hamlets in the outer
circles of the Antwerp defenses. The
Germans still hold Malines although
at a heavy cost as the town is sub-
ject to a constant bombardment
from the Antwerp forts.”

CAMPAIGN NEAR CRACOW

LONDON Oct. s.—Russian re-
ports Indicate that the German of-
fensive towards the Niemen river
from the East Prussian frontier has
ended in n German rout after the
battle of Augustowo which has been
under way since September 25. If
tnese reports are true it means that
not only has General Rennenkampf
been given an opportunity to resume
tlie offensive but the Important fort-
ress of Ossowetz has been relieved
from investment.
An .official message from the com-
mandant of the German fortress at
Konlgsberg however directly con-
tradicts the Russian report. The
Berlin version of the fighting while
it does not localize it as particularly
ns the Russian report maintains that
tiie Germans along the East Prus-
sian frontier have generally been
v Ictorlous.
Cossacks Near Cracow.
As was expected subsequent re-
ports have discredited the rumor
that the Russians were investing
Cracow. It was hardly possible for
the Muscovite forces to have reached
there in euch a short time but a re-
port that Cossacks have reached the
neighborhood of Cracow is distinct-
ly credible as the famous Russian
cavalry is showing an ability to cover
the same wide field of operations as
the Chians In the western war area.
While the allies in the west are
congratulating themselves upon the
cxcellen-e of the railway service
which enabled them to bring all the
necessary transports and reinforce-
ments. the Russians in East Prussia
are suffering from a lack of such
facilities. No matter how great the
Russian invading host proves to be
physical conditions alone would pre-
vent any duplication of the wonder-
ful march of the German forces
through Belgium and Northern
France.
In the Balkans the mutual jeal-
ousies of the small <ates which ussd
to threaten the peace of Europe are
conspiring to preserve what is left of
it—for each is afraid to cast its lot
with either side for tear of an attack
from its neighbor.
A dispatch to the Star from Rome
speaking of the Russian Invasion of
Hungary says:
“Having captured all the Carpa-
thians passes the Russians have com-
menced the invasion of Hungary ad-
vancing to the south and they have
occupied llosszumezo. The Cos-
sacks recrossed the river and cut
the railway at Cziget thus Isolating
the remainder of Hungary."
The eastern theater of war the
Germans would appear according to
English observers to be contemplat-
ing a period of defense before un-
dertaking the offensive. They are
busily engaged between Thorn In
East Prussia and Galicia in entrench-
ing themselves against the Russian
hosts gathering on the other side of
the frontier. It Is calculated that
there are no fewer than 4000.000
fighting men in this eastern arena
and a repetition of the long and ar-
duous siege battle which have been a
special feature of the struggle in
France seems a certainty.
Russians Crossv Theiss
Budapest admits that Russians
have crossed the River Theiss which
