BIG GUNS ThUNDtR CLOSER TO ENGLAND THE CITIZENS OF DIMURK AM) BOlLOliNE ARE FLEEING " Allies l Mini To nave uaue rn?grt*Ns n? the Eastward?Battle Has Haired About Arras. London, Oc:. 19.?The attempted advance of the German forces along the coast of Belgium and Northern France apparently with the aim of establishing themselves in English channel ports so they may menace England, lias reached a critical point. TVia avframa wostprn fio"htirii9r linp now reaches from Armentieres j through Roulers to Xieuport, on t?lie coast about half way befowen Os'tend and Dunkirk. According to the French official announcement today German Iheavy artillery has bombarded the front from Xieuport to Viadilo, which is about ten miles from the coast. The forces of the allies also have ^ ^ ^ o /"\ o c * TT o r? rl i n.t liiauc p'lV5'i Coo cuov??ai u a jjvsijllv sout&iward of Armentieres toward Lille on a line running roughly to Arras. The report tell of house to 'house fighting in which the allies are ad(vancing. The battOe has raged aro-uni Arras without respite 'lor ten days, and on the pan of t-e allied troops "with a perseverance and a spirit which never for a moment has been relaxed." Germans Are Brief. The German official report covers these operations more tersely. It says the attacks west and northwest of Lille have been repulsed with heavy losses to the allies. I The situation is still much in tf'.:e dark. English and (French papers gather encouragement from reports published from t'neir side. From the German point of view it is possible the Germans have improved their position, and with the force that besieged Ant werp and reinforceents 'from Ger- j many are attempting along the ccast ! another sweeping increment. In Plus field of action it appears in- j evita-ble that there soon must be some decisive results. The country's flatness seems to have made it impossible for the two armies to entrench and face each other without important change 5n position for weeks, as they fcave done across Northern France. , Double Movement. (The announcement that the Ger- ' mans have taken siege guns to the neighborhood of Belfort may mean they plan an attempted advance on both ends of what has become virtually a long fortified line. German official reports say the exodus from Ostend is being repeated in the flight of inhabitants from Dunkirk and Boulogne. Confirmation of this assertion has not been received here, but it is- wholly possible the proximity of the Ger mans lias created a panic at those ports. , Great battles continue in the eastern ' theatre between.toe Russian and Austria-German forces. Reports from both sides are brief and contradictory. Petrograd claims the Russians have won partial success in severe fighting . foe. ore Warsaw and Przemysl. Vienna declares the Auatro-German armies ha've made advances in both' regions ana that the Russias casualties at Przemysl numiber 40,000. TLe Third Act. The present advance of the Germans along the Belgian and French coasts is looked upon by military obesrvers as the third act of the European war in tO.e western theatre. The first act was the German attempt to sweep upon Paris with the Capture of the French capital as the climax of the advance. The second act was tl.ie ariies' offensive, assumed after Gen. Von Kluck ']-ad stretched his army on the German west wing over a longer line of communication than he could hold. The allied army pressed the Germans "hack, compelling t'.:e entire line to recede to maintain an unbroken .ront and a Dossible line of retreat.

Tto-ey lay several ; weeks behind tihe army, taking no' ' part in the fighting and evidently are i destined for sea duty ajfter the cap- i , ture o':' a port.

Damage Not So Great. | As the correspondent drc^e through miles o:' the streets cf A::t*.v'er;; .' : city seemed to have suffered less than had been believed. Indications of daage wrought by tJie uernian snens were observed in all quarters, but the destruction usually was confined to j individual houses at widely scattered joints. | i.U German headquarters it was said this fact was due to the definite plan of the Germans to convince Antwerp with a minimum of damage that further resistance was useless. The heavy 12 and 16-inch guns, it was stated, were not used against the city proper, but shells from tbe smaller 1 mortars were dropped sysxemancauy throughout the place. i How accurately the public buildings were avoided seems to be proved by a shell hole in the pavement at the side entrance to the city hal1. and in the destruction of a house across the street from that building. The churdh of our lady, the pridie oi" Antwerp, has a 'hole eight or ten feet in diameter in one transept window, and in an adjoining wall 30 feet aibove the floor. Otherwise this edifice was not damaged. I Effect of Big Gnns. i Thp pffpo-r nf thp hii?r 2:11ns on Ant werp's outer .oriifications was more S'triai-g than at Liege. Two armored turrets at Fort de Wavre, St. Cat'nenine, were put out of action with a single shot, their steel beds being broken in two and the heaivy masses of metal o.urled five or six yards away. In another fort the concrete embankment was pierced like an egg shell (and the steel turret uprooted. ! German staff officers say r^at wnen the River Xethe was crossed the Belgian defence virtually.collapsed. 'When they pushed in through their girdle o.1 inner posts and past'the undefended city wall they found that the retiring garrison had 'blown up tfte bridge across the River Scheldt and also had interpos'ed a belt of flame against the inv.iders by firing the oil tanks and covering the surface of the river witi"J burning oil. Antwerp's populate has fled and the streets are deserted. Many of the houses which were demolished by the eGrman shell fire are still smoking : Scenes o. devastation are to be wit| nes-sed in the warehouse district along jttie river bank. In addition to wrecked buildings piles of packing cases lie broken open and their contents strewn | about the streets. Millions of dollars-' i worth of merchandise has been ruined j in this district. i Newberry Meets Carolina Saturday.
