'I TO CHUG" SNOW THE CRY OF THE GERMANS They are Highly Elated Over The Capture Thursday of The City of Ostend. DUNKIRK IS THEIR NEXT OBJECTIVE POINT. Opinion In England Differs as To Part The British Fleet Is Preparing to Play. LONDON, Oct. 17. German forces today occupy Ostend, at the northern extremity of the region where the Ger man right wing and the Allies' left are struggling in the latest phase of what was once the battle of the Aisne. Reports reaching London say that German imagination has been fired by the taking of Ostend and the cry now is not only "on to Calais," but on "to Boulonge." What progress, if any, the Gernans have made since they entered Ostend Thursday morning is not known here, but their next objective point appar ently is Dunkirk. Opinion in England seems to differ as to what part the Bri tish fleet would play should the battle continue to skirt the coast line and the teports that British dreadnaughts would back up the French, British and Bel gian forces from the straits of Dover seems to originate in German sources. London papers generally depre cate the importance of German occu pation of the Belgian coast, point ing out .that the British mine field prevents the enemy's bringing ships to operate from the none too spa cious harbor of Ostend. The fact re mains, however that as the fighting gets geographically nearer to Eng land the public, heretofore discuss ing the speculating on a Zeppelin raid, is bound to ask itself what will come next. The allied left is holding its ground. At some points it is even moving for ward, having occupied Laventie, driv ing the German s back in the direction of Lille. One report was that the Ger mans had been driven out of Lille, but this has not been confirmed. The pre sence of Uhlans has been reported re cent y within 40 miles of Calais. Little definite news was available today of the fighting along the Vis tula river, where the Russians claim to have repulsed a German attack Whether the German advance on Warsaw has been permanently check ed, only the future can show. One report says the Germans are prepar ing to winter in Poland. According to a dispatch from Pet- rograd daied Friday, but received here today, the Russians now have opened their attack along the entire line with 'special energy in the South, where General Brussiloff's cavalry is said to Have captured several Aus triansMetach nents, together with trains carrying , reinforcement and supplies. In retreating from Warsaw, it is said, the Germans lost 42 guns intended for the siege of that city. THE JURY SAYS LUKE D017IIS ISJ10T GUILTY WAS CHARGED WITH THE MUR DER OF HIS STEP .''.

J. Staub, a well known citizen of New Bern, while he was in the cow-shed at his dairy farm two miles from the city. The blow which caused death was wield ed by some one who knew well the lo cation of the place and also knew that Mr. Staub was on the farm. Just who this man was, is a mystery and his motive is unknown but every effort is being made to place the guilt and to bring the slayer to justice. The Crime discovered.

Native of Switzerland. Mr. Staub, who was seventy years of age, was a native of Zurich, Switzer land.
