LONDON". Oct. 12. "The fall of Ant
werp might be accurately dated mid
night Thursday, though the burgomas
ter did not go out to surrender the
eity until 8 o'clock the next morning
and the Germans did not enter until
noon," says a Morning Post corre
spondent in Belgium. "By midnight
Thursday it was clear that further
resistance to the attacking Germans
-was vain and the field forces and gar
rison forces on our side began to be
he withdrawn to the west side of the
River Scheldt.
"Throughout the night of Thursday
the citiaens who remained in the city
had every prompting tp terrtfr. Smoke
from burning oil tanks, enveloping the
city in a dark pall to which the flames
of burning houses gave a lining of
lurid yellow, was everywhere. Through
this pall came shrinking the shells of
28-centimeter guns, crashing like
thunderbolts as they sent buildings
actually pouring into the streets. Be
neath the pall of smoke went hurrying
the ranks of the retiring army.
Shells Kill Refugee.
"Many of the people of Antwerp had
resolved to withstand the bombard
ment and were content tos stay bur
rowing among the ruins so long as the
Germans could be kept out. To them
the retreat of the defending army was
the last blow of fate. They abandoned
the cellars and retreats and set out
In flight. It was the last and most
pitiful exodus, for these were the elect
of the citizens. As they passed to the
Jutch frontier or toward the quays,
some met their death from bombard
ment. "On Friday morning the bombard
ment slackened. At 8 o'clock the fol
lowing proclamation dated October 7
was posted, announcing the departure
f the government:
4 'Sacrificing itself to the imperious
obligations of which all patriots will
measure the importance, the govern
ment has decided to transfer itself to
another point of national territory. It
quits Antwerp with a grateful mem
ory of generous hospitality and takes
pleasure in proclaiming that faithful
to a high national mission, this faith
ful city has for almost two months
assured to the government perfect
tranquillity in carrying on all public
functions.
" 'After, as before its departure, the
army will oppose the enemy with most
obstinate resistance. The government
has the certainty that the valiant popu
lation of Antwerp will in turn support
It, with stoicism over common trials
with the same, sentiment of patriotism
as our other cities and most humble
villages, and will await with unbroken
confidence the approaching hour of de
liverance and reparation.

position and brought all their artillery
to bear on the Bray road.
At 10 o'clock in the morning French
three-inch guns were placed behind a
hill of Mericourt and these opened fire.
The German guns replied vigorously,
but while the artillery duel was pro
gressing the allies' Infantry swerved
towards the west and descended to the
Somme towards Corbie to attempt a
crossing. At midday the troops, wad
ing through the swamps and bogs, be
gan the crossisng, some of them using
rafts, light canoes and frail canvas
boats. One regiment crossed by means
of a rope stretched from bank to bank.
The cavalry passed over a ford at
Sailly.
Operation Reaaires 40 Minutes.
The whole operation occupied only 40
minutes. At 1 o'clock, in the afternoon
the three divisions were on the right
bank of the Somme. When the enemy
realized the meaning of the movement
the allies were in battle formation and
marching to assault Bray. While the
infantry made an attack on the rest of
the village the cavalry was capturing
the enemy's position on the other side
and the French infantry was maintain
ing an incessant cannonade from the
direction of Mericourt., t
The moment for a general assault
having arrived, trumpets sounded all
along the line. The infantry dashed

shout arose as the tricolor was seen

Near Albert the Germans were
pushed back by the French cavalry,

retreating invaders, forcing them to
abandon their guns. The retreat was
not checked until Bapaume was
reached.
ALLIES' CENTER MOVES VP
Important German Position Stormed
and Captured.
FROM BATTLE FRONT, via Paris,
Oct. 12. A noteworthy advance by the
allies occurred today in the neighbor
hood of the center of the battle line,
where they stormed and captured an
important German position.
Near Lasslgny also the fighting was
excedlngly severe. The allies and Ger
mans came to close quarters and a Ger
man regimental flag was taken in a
bayonet cnargu. Lassigny forms an
angle of the allies line which
fsom there turns almost directly north.
The Germans are holding their ground
tenaciously at this place, where they
have a considerable number of big guns
In strong positions in the quarries.
The allies' cavalry in a heavy mist
carried out a daring raid, in the course
of which they cut off a German supply
convoy proceeding to Roye. iney cap
tured 850 Germans, who constituted the
escort, as well as several quick-firers
and a large amount oi ammunition.
The French aviators, who are per
forming brilliant work along the front, 1
indicated tbe approach of the Germans,
who, when attacked, offered a long and
fierce resistance but eventually were
obliged to surrender.
The allied commanders regard their
position on tbe western wing and the
center as Improving daily and are thor
oughly satisfied with the progress
which Is being made. On the eastern
wing the German bombardment of the
French positions continues without in

FOES MISTAKEN FOR ALLIES
Germans Kuhli Antwerp Defenders,
and 800 Out of 2000 Survive.
LONDON, Oct. 12. "One of the most
disheartening incidents of the Antwerp
siege occurred Monday night at Duffel,
a position where the trenches were
held by a fine regiment of Belgian
chasseurs." says a dispatch to the
Morning Post trom one of its corre
spondents in Belgium. The message
continues:
"Late-at night the Belgians saw ap
proaching from along, the river men
whom they took to be English soldiers
and who called out "We are friends,
when the sentinels challenged them.
The Colonel of the Belgian regiment
himself was watching them and saw
them go up aa if to speak with the
-sentries. Then suddenly be found
himself gagged and saw the sentinels
strangled.
"The Germans tben rushed in on the
Belgian soldiers, most of whom were
asleep in the trenches. When the at
tack was over only 800 survived of the
2000 Belgians.
"This was the third misfortune of
the defense. The accidental blowing ,
up of Fort Wavre-St. Catherine wa
the first and the cutting of the city
water supply was the second."

TWO GREAT SALES NOW IX ONE
The most important event in West
ern piano merchandising, the .Manu
facturers' Emergency Surplus Sale,
merged with the Soule Bros'. Failure
Sale. ,
Soule Bros., old-established musical
instrument merchants, their stock,
after authority and direct order of
court, was taken over by C. E. Lucore,
the wholesale piano man and repre
sentative of some of the creditor man
ufacturers. Nearly all the inexpensive
pianos were quickly sold at 38$ Mor
rison, but the more costly kinds were
left on hand. There was no time to
lose. A quick turn was necessary and
we were able to get them in one lump,
so that we can sell them for almost
what they sold their medium and
cheaper priced pianos for. for we de
clined to take over any but the finest
instruments in the sale. All remain
ing, less Inexpensive instruments are
going to go at Auction Wednesday, as
is being advertised in this Issue, but
the better makes and higher grade
pianos, the really much-to-be-desired
instruments, will be on sale at Eilers
Music House by 9 o'clock this morning.
In these two great sales at Eilers
Music House will be found pianos for
a great deal less than what the manu
facturers expected to get for same
when they billed them to their agents.
Some of them, oldest established
makes, time honored, time tried names,
are Included In this great sacrifice
ale now, and positive assurance that
every Instrument Is reliable depend
able, price worthy, and accompanied
by eur positive guarantee as to qual
ity and service, and accompanied by
eur exchange agreement and money

plane should pet turn eut what
should be, te wham pan we leek a
make the plana, right r New that dif?
flculty has all baea done away with,
for with the Eilers guarantee, and a
record of many years' fair dealing and
the high standing of the house, every
pianoless home can now feel sure
that the piano will be found in every
way satisfactory. Kor Eilers Music
House Is the money back Institution.
We also issue an exchange agree
ment so that for any reason, at any
time within two years, a customer can
exchange for another piano at the big
piano house, and all the money paid
will apply on the Instrument selected.
Eilers Music House has always been
noted for selling the best and highest
grade pianos manufactured. Their
enormous business enables them to sell
a piano of a higher grade for much
less money than the old-time method
dealers ask. Seventy-two per cent of
all the pianos shipped to the Coast are
sold b ythe Eilers houses. This leaves
only a very few for all the other deal
ers combined to sell. This fact itself
should have consideration, any think
ing business man or woman knows
that a large quantity of goods can ba
marketed for less per article than can
a small number. Thinking people
know that in buying in large quan
tities each article can be purchased for
less. Furthermore our Eilers Muslo
House guarantee is thoroughly depend
able and trustworthy in every way.
It is the only home institution of its
kind, and many years of successful
piano distribution has put it in the
lead of all the great National institu
tions". Whenever the opportunity pre
sents Eilers Music House is always
ready and anxious to arrange excep
tional values, and offers them to buy
ers at the lowest possible price con
sistent with quality.
We can honestly say that never in
the history of the Eilers Music House
have thoroughly reliable pianos been
sold at so lo wa price as during this
double combination event.
Everyone knows that the export,
business haa practically been at a
standstill; every manufacturer, espe
cially of musical instruments, has been
at his wits' end to know what to do
with his surplus stock, that Is why the
manufacturers' representatives, Ells
worth. Barnes and Davy and Mr. Huern,
are now in charge of this greatest of
all Portland piano sales. Remember
these pianos are all new, guaranteed.
ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.
The famous Duotonal (Double Sound
board Piano), also the Eilers De Luxe
Player Piano are Included in this groat
sale which is now being conducted by
the manufacturers under an agreement
that the Eilers Music House will buy
three pianos every time the manufac
turers' representatives sell two. How
ever, a sale like tbls can pevor hap

never again exist.
