For the firsttime since the war aircraft and warships are aiding simultaneously the movements of land forces. Thus is a struggle being wag ed in the air, on sea and on land at the samo time.

The fight as far- as Belg concerned has ttoV resolved itself 1 into a terrible artillery duel, in which, it is claimed the. allies by reason or their long range guns, have had the ad vantage. :. . ' Muddy roads and a network of ca nals doubtless have hindered the in vaders in getting their guns of equal or greater range into position. When they do accomplish this the situation will be even more acute. I p to the present it Is said the Brit ish Naval losses have been negligible although both sides have suffered heavily on land. The Germans claim to have put a British torpedo bat out ot action. Albert. King of Belgium, who since his retirement from Os tend has been reported at ..various places in northern France, appears to be actually at the scene of fighting. This is announced by the British Admiralty. Dispatches say the Queen of Bel gium also is with the Belgian army, but this must be classed as a rumor, much the same as reports, that Gen eral Von Moltke. chief of the Ger man (leneral Staff, iss seriously ill, or the statement that Emperor William again has moved his headquarters. That the German line, south of Os tend, has been cut and that retire ment has set in figures among other unconfirmed news today.

Why England should restrict recruiting to men of the minimum height of 5 ft 6 in. in days when battles are fought with long range weapons instead of broad swords and battle axes is puz zling many young fcatrons of under size who are anxious to go to the front. The old rule has already caus e"d medical men to protest both ' in print and to the Army Medical "Ad visory Board One 01 tne medical journals, points out that what is needed these days is not brute power to wield heavy weights, but a wiry physique able to stand bad weather, irregular feeding, broken sleep, long marches and brains to take cover and shoot with skill and patience. The short man weighs less, needs less food, is easier of transpor tation, stands hard marching Without his feet giving way, offers a Smaller mark to the enemy, keeps Himself warm m a smaller space ana can sn-elter in-a trench better than a big man. Tne heavier the man, tne-more food needed to keep up a given amount of physical exertion, and a man pt 170 pounds requires a fifth more food than one of 140 pounds, it is scientifically estimated. Hence 5 ft. 3 in. 'would open recruiting to excellent material. DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CARE FOR London, Eng., October 23. However effective the German army may be in" other respects, its cavalry f men, even the Uhlans, do not know how to take care of horses says E.

The returning cavalrymen "gen erally led their mounts with . saddle loosened. Some of the backs t-rere quite raw. This is largely-: due, , he thinks, to the way the Germans? have of turning themselves around In" rtheir saddles; to ease their positions ' when on thev march. , ' ? r The German artillery and : Jjequip-" ment impressed Cantrell as being perfect.

Paris, October 23. The stupendous operations of the millions of men jtighthig in: pelgjum ana r;northern lance' have viBite overshadowed thi stru, i:orthe possession ol. South ly important de velopment of the war. Official communications have largely ignored this theater of operations and most people are unaware that the struggle has continued and that the region between Altkirch and Cerney has seen several reverses of the for tunes of war. The town of Thann, important be cause commanding the valley of Wes serling has been taken and retaken several times. Mulhausen, twice tak en and occupied by the French, was at last accounts again in the hands of the Germans, as a result of the withdrawal of General Pau's army to :einforce the armies of the north. Despatches from Basle state that each one of these changes of fortune has been Dractlcally trvine to the population. Conspicuous native sacians were punished after tho first . r m mm ' German re-occupation for alleged ser vices rendered to the French, while, after the second . French occupation it was the turn of native German ci tizens to suffer for giving informa tion to the Germans. At Thann the German mayor and postmaster were shot after , the sec ond French occupation for spying in favor of the Germans. Moreover, in retaliation for the action of the French in taking away with them all the men of age to bear arms, f rpm the villages occupied by them, the Germans- called Out every nian in Alsace between the ages of 17 and 45. In consequence there is much distress in many vil lages where there are only old men, women and" children left. This unhappy land, serving as a buffer between the belligerent coun tries is far from seeing the end of its trials. The battles sthat have fol lowed each other almost daily since September 13th are only the prelude to bigger ti.nd more destructive en gagements that will immediately fol low the decisive result of the battle lot the Aisne.
