BELGIUM AGAIN CENTO OF WAR Germans Making Disparate Assault Oi Antwerp, The Temporary Capital J Of Tbi Belgians AIS'NE BATTLE" UNTETTLED Allies Have Forced Battle Line To Bei — a lan Border—Operations Ex- «, tend To The Coast Belgium Is once more the scene of the fighting of the allied armies of France and England against the Ger mans. During the past week the al lies have succeeded in pushing the German armies back to the Belgian border. Antwerp, the temporary capi tal of Belgium, and one of the strong est fortified cities in the world is be ing besieged by the Germans. The world awaits the outcome. The battle of the Alsne, which was in progress north of the Alsne river In France for more than a month, will go down In history as one of the great est battles the world has ever known. The area over which the fighting oc curred occupied almost the entire portion of France and at times the main battle lines extended over 160 mllea in length. The ' casualties on both sides were astounding. For days the great armies of the al lies and the Germans swayed back and forth. At some'polnts the allies would gain the advantage, while at others the Germans were victorious, but dur ing these days neither side were able to gain an appreciable advantage. Fol lowing desperate fighting on both sides for several weeks the battle settled down to a siege. It was even predicted by military, experts oi the contending nations that winter would find the contending armies still fight ing on the northern border of France. The predictions that have been made by writers that areopianes would play a 'prominent part in the future wars has In part become true. Although they have failed so far to live up to tbe expectation of the writers when it came to destroying whole fisete of ships and entire cities, but they have proven themselves indispensable In aiding the armies In battle. It has been the aeroplanes that have soared over the .battle lines that lo cated the strength of the enemy and made It possible for the commanders to keep In touch with what was going on along a hundred mile battle line. Raids over Paris were made by Ger man aeroplanes during the past .week and tbe British aircraft succeeded in making another successful excursion Into Germany. The damage done In both lights were slight. The war In Europe has been In progress for more than- two months and so far there has been no decisive battles fought either on land or on sea. It now appears that the war will last through the winter with al ternate victories for the combatants. The battle of the Alsne between the allies and the Germans In the north of France has developed Into a siege and may last for weeks longer. The greatest activity la now being found In East Prussia and Poland where the great armies of Russia are pre paring for an invasion into Germany. Germans Defeated In Prussia? The fierce struggle which has been going on between the Russian and Ger man troops along the Nlemen river, in East Prussia for nine days, ended with a complete victory for the Rus sians, according to dispatches from Petrograd, the Russian capital. The tact that Cxar Nicholas has left the capital to join his armies in Prussia and that Kaiser William of Germany Is already on the ground testifies to the Importance of this campaign. ' European Rulera With Armies An important development In the war In Europe Is the report that four of the rulers of the countries at war are at the front. When tbe condi tions In East Prussia grew to alarm ing proportions and a Russian invasion menaced Germany, Kaiser William hastened to Ernst Prussia. King Al bert of Belgium has been constantly with his troops In their lighting against the Germans in Belgium. Cxar Nicholas has left Petrograd for the German border. President Pplncare of France has gone to visit his troops lighting the Germans In north France. Gen. Von Moltke Not Removed Rome.—lnquiries made In Oerman military circles with regard to reports that Gen. Von Moltke had been remov ed as chief of the general staff of the German army, brings forth the state ment that the report Is iaoorreot The report. It Is declared, probably was caused by the change of officers made In the German quartermaster general's department, where Gen. Von Voight- Rhets was appointed to succeed Gen. Von Bteln. Gen. Von Moltke retains his post Belgian qsplpff Moved To Ostend Washington —An official cablegram to the Belgian legation here announc ed the Belgian government had been removed from Antwerp to Ostend. E. Havenlth | the Belgian minister. In —this announcement, declared the act bad no political signlflcanos aqd that ho matter If all of Belgium fell Into the hands of the Germans, Belgium would make no terms with the enemy before similar steps were taken by the allies.

The fighting along the river Olse continued, and many bridges were blown up to hinder the movements of the enemy. German artillery captured In France was taken to England to be exhibited as proof of the success of the allies. The converted cruiser Caronia, on which guns have been mounted, hovered around the port of New York searching outgoing steamer* for Germans and contraband goods. Shipping men protested at such action as causing expensive delays. Managers George Stalllngs and Connie Mack lined their teams up In Philadel phia to begin tbe battles for the world's baseball championship. M. Turplu's deadly turplnite shells were used by France. FORTS UIUSDIHfi ANTWERP Paris. —The following official com munication was Issued here: "There Is nothing new to report, except that there has been a lively engagement in the region of Roye, where, In the last two days, we have captured sixteen hundred prisoners." London.—Belgium once again Is the center of military interest, for not only Is her army battling for Its life behind the fortresses at Antwerp, but the long battle line in France has struggled northward until It has crossed her frontier at Armentleres and yet may loin the beleaguered Belgians. According to a Oerman report re ceived by wireless from Berlin, rill way and telegraphic communication with Antwerp Is Interrupted. H was reported also that the king of the Bel gians had been slightly wounded. Antwerp Forts Are Destroyed The severing of communication had been expected, for the Germans had been directing their attacks at points of Ingress to and egress from the city and at tbe same time dropping shells Into the town Itself. A portion of tbe town Is reported to have been de stroyed. The 42-centlmeffr guns made short work of the great Brlalmont forts and lesser ones are now engag ed in destroying the city, which, under tbe provisions of The Hague conven tion, was given due notice before the bombardment commenced.

Ruselana Holding! Their Own Petrograd.—An unofficial oommunl catlon Issued from general headquar ters says: "The lighting on the East Prussian frontier continued on October 7 with the same fbroctty. Ia spite of Oennaa reinforcements all their attacks In the region of Wlrballea (Rasstaa Poland) and Phlllpoff have been repulsed with great losses. By a night assault the Russian troops have captured tbe vil lage of Kamenka, near Bakalargewo. "In the forest of Maasalstchlxna, wsst of Retchka, our troops la a night attack aurrouaded a Oerman detach meat which was partly exterminated, the others belag dhfrersed, abandon ing their rapid flrers. "Russian troops have also captured the town of Btala ta delicto, 41 mllea west-southwest of Cracow). Ia other rsgtoas there Is nothing of Importance to record.

British Airships-Raid Germany London. —The following official statement was Issued covering an at tack by a British air squadron on tfs German airship shed at Dusseldorf. "The secretary of the admiralty an nounces that Squadron Commander Qrey reports that, as authorized, he carried out with Lieut. R. L. O. Marlx and Lieut. 8. V. Slppe, a successful at tack on a Dusseldorf airship shed. Lieutenant Marlx's bombs, dropped from a height of 600 feet, hit the shed, went through the roof and destroyed a Zeppelin. "Flames were observed 600 feet high, the result of the Igniting of the gas of an airship. "Ail three officers are safe, but their aeroplanes have been lost. "The feat would appear to be In ev ery respect remarkable, having regard to the distance of over one hundred miles penetrated Into country held by the enemy and to the fact that a pre vious attack had put the enemy on their guard and enabled then^,to mount anti-aircraft guns. May Force Turkey Into War Washington.—The alternative the Ottoman empire face* aa to whether the Dardanelles are to be swung open In answer to the demand of the triple entente or whether the key to the Black sea Is to remain In Turkish pos session promisee to force the porte to Join the European struggle, according to opinion expressed In diplomatic cir cles here. At the Turkish embassy it was admitted that It might prove high ly embarrassing to the sultan to be forced to commit himself on such a request. Officials stated that unless no other course was open It was high ly unlikely that Turkey would submit to a change In Its policy because of outside Influence. Russians Repulse Qermans Petrograd.—The general staff has given out the following official com munication. "The Russian troops have eootlnued to repulse the enemy (fom the bounda ries of the governments of Suwalkl and Lomsa. The engagement baa been very fierce west of Symno. The German troops that were at tacking Ossowets are retreating hasti ly to the north.

Franksvllle, Pa.—Charles Capuro, his wife and three children, aged six, eight and twelve years, bad thrilling experience with a monster black snake while they were picking huckleberries on the mountain near here. • They were about ready to return home when Capuro spied the reptile, and, picking up a stone, he hit It. This maddened the snake, and It sprang at Capuro, who was on tbe edge of a steep cliff, but he knocked the reptile away. His cries brought his wife and chil dren to his side. They kept quiet, while the snake maintained Its posi tion near by without making any more effort to attack him. For nearly four hours Capuro and his family were held captive without venturing to move. Then Jacob Pozar ro came along with his dog and the Capuros made a haaty escape from the scene, while the reptile crept away to some rocks.

OUTPUT OF LUMBER Statistics Show How Product Is Utilized. Annual Consumption of Wood by Wood Manufacturing Industrie* In tho United Statas I* Vary Largo ' —loo DlfToront Kinds. Washington.—Statistics have been compiled by the foreat aenrlce, which ahow for the flrat time preeiaely how the lumber produced In the oountry la utilized. About forty-flve billion feet of lumber of all klnda la the annual production In the United Statea; of this nearly twenty-Bve billion feet, board meaaure, are further manufac tured, the other portion remaining (or rough construction lumber and for almllar purpoaea. Thta la exclusive of material which reachea Its final uae In the form of fuel, railroad tlea, poata, pulpwood, cooperate, wood dlatlllatea, and the bark* and extracts demanded by the tannine lnduatry.

Be tween (0 and 60 per cent of the lum ber produced la aubject to further manufacture. In preparing the figures In thla way, however. It ahould be re membered that considerable material reachea ahopa and factories In the form of loga, bolta, and bllleta with out having paaled through aawtnllla. and While thla material la Included In these atatlatlca thla fact ahould be re membered In comparing statistics with those of lumber production.
