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.

The greater pi$rt of the garrison of British'and Belgian troops who defended the forts of Ant werp escaped from the city before the entry of the Germans. King. Albert and the royal family also escaped. The queen and other' members of the royal family of Belgium are believed to have fled to England. With the , fall of Antwerp another phase of the v war -situation in Europe is being placed by military efforts. t believed that, the kaiser has abaci doned his campaign against Paris an$ will center . the energy - of his fighting forces in an attack -on the British Isles; t -Using" Aitwerp. as a base - of attack it will he possible for airship flights across the English channel, to England.1- Some have ventured the as-. serUonXhjthe Germans wfjl,attjpt land ,Torceson Btitisn sou ror.xne purpose of invasion.
