ANTWERP STILL BEING BOMBARDED BY GERMANS Little Change Seems to Have Been Made In Positions pf Armies In European Conflict That inc Germans still arc 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 thc 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 pon. > ' . So violent has been the concussion caused by the detonation by the big German guns in the bombardment of Antwerp th?t houses twenty miles away were shaken. King Albert, at the head of a portion of the Belgium army, is reported to haye marched out o? 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 consul, and the me hers of his staff. In the east the Russians claim to have repulsed with heavy losses the Germaffc attacks near Wirballen and Philipoff, Russian. They declare also that some pf 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 Wloc?awek, 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 Persfa she had no inten tion of taking Persian territory. LAUGH IS ON PRESIDENT WILSON Hurnorous ' Incident with Colonel Harvey. BIG CROWD WAS .... ~ ? rr,-,-.-'. Large Number of Arrests Made Here Yesterday But All Were For Mino.* Offenses. (Special .to The Intelligencer) Washington, Oct. 8.-A large per centage ot Washingtonians blessed with a Having scnao of humor have been laughing a great deal the past day or two over a story Which hos leaked out concerning tho inseting be tween President Wilson and Col. Geo. Harvey on last Sunday, after a near estrangement of nearly two years. Nobody vouches for tho story abso lutely, but the. view takon by many is that if it hux't true. Mr. WU Bon and Mr. .Harvey ought to. be ashamed of themselves for its not being true. It ia related that tho name of Mark Twain came up in the course of tho conversation, between tho President and tho Colonel, both of whom, of course, ar? groat admirers of the re nowned American humorist- Col- Har - voy, however, expressed surprise that there were still to bo found Americans who had novar heard bf Mark Twain. Of this statement tho President ex pressed some doubt, whereupon Col. Harvey, according to thor rumor, re marked : Oh, yea, there are auch people. In fact, I met ope yesterday,.right hero in Washington). He was a Demo /eratic" office seeker, and: evidently a disappointed one. ', He declared posi - tively that ho had never heard ct Mark.Twain. I asked him if he was acquainted with the Hon. Tom Saw yer. No; never heard hf him, either. Then' I'Ssked him. if he had not, in the courso.of his political career, made tho acquaint anco j of .Mr- Huckleberry ' Finn- Still ho answered-nay. " 'Well/ said I, 'perhaps yon have heard of Pudd'uhead Wilson?' . " 'Oh, yes,*' come' the sarcastic re ply, 'I voted or him.*" After the pr?sidents amusement over the story.hs* partially subsided, it is stated, Col.1 Harvey got another rise out of . htmr'-by continuing: ".'And it never'done me no good neither/ tho .offlcesoeker added.", i .Fifty arrests during the course ot ono day docs not Bound - as though Anderson pepple were very woll be haved, but when it is remembered that there were between 10,000 and 12,000 visitors to tho city yesterday the explanation will be found. At 10 o'clock last night ike poi ice had made 39 arrests and all indica tions were that this number would be Increased to CO before daylight. Howover, practically all ot the ar rests made were on charges of plain drunk or drunk and disorderly and Httlo real "rough" stuff wi3 pulled off during the day.
