The past week in the European war
has been one of very important devel
opments. Antwerp, one of the strong
est fortjned cities in the world ajici
the temporary, capital of the Belgian
government was captured by the Gar-
man invaders. A great natriotic dem;
onstration has swert Germanv over
victory of their armies. On the
following the fall of Antwerp the
Germans on the Belgian border fight
ing the allied armies suffered reverses
at several important places and in east
Prussia on the same day the Rus-
Bians captured Lyck.

It required only eleven days for the
giant siege guns or tne German invad
era to reduce, to. ruins the strong forts
of the Belgian port. The greater pi$rt
of the garrison of British'and Belgian
troops who defended the forts of Ant
werp escaped from the city before the
entry of the Germans. King. Albert
and the royal family also escaped. The
queen and other' members of the royal
family of Belgium are believed to have
fled to England.
With the , fall of Antwerp another

London. Germany has Imposed a

war indemnity. v -
London. Antwerp and the forts sur
rounding the city are in complete' pos
session of the.Germans, but the great
er parts of the Belgian army has es
caped. J: A - '
. It took the Germans just eleven
days to capture the strongest fortress
in the ' world. - ' - ,'
The fall of Antwerp is evident that
even the'1 most powerful forts'- are no.
match for the colossal howitzers which
the. invaders have successfully em
ployed against every fortified place
that stood in their way. " These huge

The Germans,' after; shelling the: city
itself for; many jors making it - uh

The inner . forts, like ' those" farther
out; soon Succumbed to the enormous
shells, and on Friday morning several
of these forts had fallen, opening the
way for the Germans" into the city. By
midday they were in occupation of the
townand at 2:Su p. m. the war banner
on -the cathedral was. replaced by a
white flag. -
King And Roya Family Escape
A few forts continued' to hold out
and it was not until Friday" morning
that the Germans, according to their
own official report, were, in complete
posseesslon of the city and fortress.
When they arrived they found that the
Belgian field : army and at .least tart
of the garrison, ha.d anticipated , them,
a'ndix like - the iking and-royal family,
had escaped. , . . -'
The death, roll, resulting frpm. the at

not been ' compiled and probably ' the
full details never will be" known, but
all accounts, describe it as being ter
ribly heavy. ' The Germans, although
their big guns cleared a path for them,
had to sacrifice many lives in crossing
the rivers and canals and in riving
out the defenders' : who held thei en
trenchments until the last.;. . '
The stubbornness. rtQf -. tlie , Belgians
