ANTWERP STILL BEING I
BOMBARDED BY GERMANS
Little Change Seems to Have Been
Made In Positions of Armies In
European Conflict
That the Germans still are bombarding Antwerp vigorously with
their heavy siege guns from three positions and that great damage
already has been done by shells, is the outstanding feature of the
war news.
On the battle line in northern France where the contending armies
are burrowed deeply in entrenchments, the French official report
says the situation is stationary, except that there have been sev
eral violent encounters between the allies and the Germans nobably
in the. vicinity of Boye, in the department of Somme. No
claims of success or acknowledgments of defeats are made in the re
port. t
So violent has been the concussion caused by the detonation by
the big German guns in the bombardment of Antwerp thTit houses
twenty miles away were shaken. King Albert, at the head of a
portion of the Belgium army, is reported to have marched out of
the beseiged city, from which the populace by thousands previous
ly had fled in panic.
Among the few neutrals remaning in the city where not alone
shells from the guns of the Germans but bombs from their aircraft,
are falling, is H. W. Diederich, the American con^'l. and the me
hers of his .staff.
In the east the Russians claim to hav.?; repulsed with heavy losses
the German attacks near Wi/ballen and Philipoff, Russian. They
declare also that some of the principle ports of Przemysl in Galicia
have been taken by the forces, of Emperor Nicholas and that the
Germans have been driven out of Wloclawek, in Poland across the
border from the fortress of Thorn, East Prussia.
From the south came a report from Cettinjie that the Servians
had defeated the Austrians and occupied Bilek, Herzegovina.
Russia is said to have refused to withdraw her troops from north
west Persia, but at the same time advised Persia she had no inten
tion of taking Persian territory.
LAUGH IS ON BIG CROWD WAS
Wumorou* Incident Connected
with Colonel Harvey.
Large Number cf Arrests Made
Here Yttaterday But Ali Were
For Minor Offenses.
(Special to The Intelligencer)
Washington, Oct. 8.-A large per
centage of Washingtonians blessed
with a saving sense of humor have
been laughing a great deal the past
day or two over a story which has
leaked out concerning the meeting be
tna?n i?rttaM??? y^llzzz CO?. Gcv,
Harvey on last Sunday, after a near
estrangement of nearly two years.
Nobody vouches for the story abso
lutely, hst the view taken hy. ?'i?y in
that if it Isn't true, Mr. Wilson and
Mr. Harvey ought to be ashamed of
themselves for Its not being true.
It is related that the name of Mark
Twain caine up In' the course of the
conversation between the President
and the Colonel, both of whom, of
course, are great admirers of the re
nowned American humorist* Col- Hsr
vey, however, expressed surprise that
there were still to be found Americans
who had never heard of Mark Twain.
Of this statement tho President ex
pressed some doubt, whereupon Col.
Harvey, acco-uin? to the rumor, re
marked:
Oh, yes, there are auch people. In
fact, I met o. e yesterday, right here
in Washington!. He was a Demo
cratic office seeker, and evidently a
^disappointed one. He declared posi
tively that he had never heard of
Mark Twain,' I asked 'ulm if he was
acquainted with the Hua. Tom Saw
yer. No; never heard of him, either.
Then I asked him If ho had not, in
the course of his political- career, made
the acquaintance of Ur- Huckleberry
Pinn- Still ba. answered nay.
" 'Well,' said I, 'perhaps yon. have
heard of Pudd'nhead Wilson T
'"Oh, yea,' cams the sarcastic re
ply, T voted or him.'"
After the Presidents amusement,
over the story had partially subsided,
it la stated. Col. Harvey got another
rise out of him by continuing:
'"And.lt never-done me no good
neiinor,' the offlceseeker added."
Fifty arrests during the course of
one day does not sound a& though
Anderson people were very weil be-?
haved, but when lt is remembered
that there were between 10.000 and
12,000 visitors to the city yesterday
the explanation will be found.
At 10 o'clock last night the police
u?j ua?? ?v arrests ann all indica
tions were that this number would
be Increased to 50 before daylight.
However, practically all of the ar
rests mace vere on charges of plain
dr unk ur drunk and disorderly and
little reai "rough" stun was pulled
off during the day.

, Washington, Oct. 8.-Consul John
TL Stillman left here tonight tor Mex
ico City, where he la expected to con
fer with the Mexican Constitutionalist
athoriUes regarding the ecUbliehr-ient
of a provisional government
The consul who recently esme to
Washington . frein Mexico to confer
with administration officials, will fol
low closely the wishes of Pr;si??nt
Wilson and ether officials in dealing
with the situation. He had been ad
vised that the administration will re
main neutral tn the controversy he
tween General Carra?as sad General
Vllla
Washlngton, Oct- 8.-President Wil
son believes that mobilisation ot the
country's credits will suffice to solve
the problem of the cotton growers.
He told callers today that 'he organi
sation of the Federal reserve system
would help the situation and, referring
to efforts to secure the Issuance of
more money to relieve cotton men,
raid he believed there was plenty of
money in the country, but the diffi
culty was to get it to the growers.
There ls no danger of a "cotton cor
ner" in the President's opinion,
through efforts of bankers to rs Iso
s pool of $160,000,000 to he loaned to
the planters Subscriptions to th?
pool are sure to be so widely distrib
uted, he said, as to eliminate that pos
sibility. The President approves the
plan for the pool- He may see Fes ru?
J- Wade, the 8L Louis banker who
launched the ides, and the other men
who are to meet the Federal reserve
board tomorrow to explain' the de
uils.
The Pr?sident believes it ls impossi
ble, to meet the cotton situation fully
bocause the war la Europe is, respon
sible for lt, and the market fer cotton
will be restricted until the war is end
ed. He declared the cr?ala had not
come yet, because, except in Texas,
i trie cotton crop had not been fathered.

Of that beak fast they served tb
the party- It consisted of a tender
steak about the size of two l.lates,
with nice sweet new-corn muffins
Irish potatoes, French drip coffee
country butter. O it's too good to
talk about. The cooks have a couple
of mascots along, a kitten and a game
chicken rooster, they were walking
about on the ground around the big
kettles and pots and having the time
of their lives. The kitten was partial

Out the crowd went to watch the
process of lifting the big tents and the

Another newspaper man, however,
was extremely anxious to see the ele

kept, nothing doing, the big fellows
had failed to arrive, hut about this
time the excitement cf ru'.siug thc big

From the Battle Front via Paris,

position to outflank each other. The

The great plateau near Lille and Ar
