It 'i was.nqt possible to determine when or how1 the' hatches- became open, and as Urn testimony waa not from sailors and all of the crew and officers died, the matter will be dropped. It is seldom- that an investigation has resulted 1j the receipt of so little real informa tion. If even a single officer or sailor had: survived more coaid have-' been learned. v !

Vieone-Le-Vill; tbrougn La Harze, and were forced to flee in precipitate retreat. Both these offensive movements by the Germans were in response to the German staff's order that the French line "must be pierced" at all hazards. Tho German commanders, evidently acting in unison, very probably con sidered that tho extended northerly movement of the allies' line had been so stretched as to weaken it, and It waa at these weak spots that these attacks In force were directed. These developments . were annoTjnced officially by the war office during- the afternoon. That the double defeat had had astunning effect upon the invad ers was indicated by the night-: bul letin, which stated that there was no new activity along the battle front, but that the general situation re mained favorable to the allies. Yet, notwithstanding these reversals suffered by the kaiser s army, the Ger man line naa not been altered appre ciably, and It still- holds to the north, where the parallel arms of the two great fighting machines stretch to ward the Belgian border. The arrival of the reinforcements from the German center which made 'possible General Von Kluck's contin ued resistance, has been the vital fac tor In installing new hope In the de moralized ranks of the enemy. Ex perts here attribute the delay In the inevitable German . retreat to the ac quisition of this fresh flghtinx Btrength and to the failure thus far of tlw allies to tip the 'northern end oi me rencn jert inward and east. ward upon Von Kluck to menace his lines of communication. It is generally admitted by those experts not carried away by the ardor of their enthusiasm in the repeated successes of tho French arms that thoGerman retirement, if forced, wULi ue an oraeny one. une withdrawal probably will be to fortified lines which have been discovered in the course of preparation Just within the south Belgian frontier. r ranch llorale Magnificent. The same authorities, citing the vague possibility of a forced French withdrawal, agree that the line south or the Marne would afford the s-reatAat strategical advantage for the allies in this contingency. The morale of the French trooDs is described by the French war office as remarkable. "The spirit of the troops is unimaginable. They go 'under fir in a way, that moves one to tears," says an Official statement Issued to day. : ' On the other hand the effect par ticularly of the defeat of the crack force of Prussians In the engagement east of the Argonhe today, upon- the morale or tne Germans is certain to be discouraging, especially after tho long series of disastrous attempts to resume tne offensive, , France is beginning to appreciate the effect of what is generally, predicted will be a long war. Even the battle of the Atenev now In Its fourth "week, cannot be decisive.: The strength "of the rival armies is too great tq per-mit-of either -of them sufferinga de cisive defeat. Each week of the fight ing ' has served only to produce more seasoned troops and as the war pro gresses the: men who were reserves a month', ago ate now fighting In the first line with vigor, courage and ef ficiency ; fully on a par with that ex hibited by tho troops who went Into it trained soldiers. The war Is costing France $7,000,-0-00 per day, according to an official announcement by Minister of Finance Ribot today. Even with this enormous expenditure France's army of 1.600, 000 men "will be In rags at the end of two months of the war," according to a warning from M. Galli, Introduc ing an appeal for winter clothing for the troops. Nevertheless tho populace continues confident and determined to make every sacrifice to insure vic tory in the mighty struggle.

London,.. Oct. 3. Realizing fully that the great battle of the Alaav. whathec a victory or defeat for the aijies, can not provo the declsivo factor of .the great war, England's attention waa to night firmly fixed on the conflict gradually gaining momentum in the near east, now designated as the bat tle of Cracow. There the Russians, are. meeting for the first time the flower of the German war machine, tha southern province troops of the act ive army.;. 6o important-is this bat tle considered that it is reported here that the1 kaiser personally commands the German defense and the czar is on the;- Russian, front. The ' Una of battle extends all the way from the Carpathian mountains to the Niemen river lines in Russian Poland. Petrograd declares that the Russians are .in complete force -with nearly 3,000,009 men; distributed along; tne front. It admits that Russia, re alizes that her own standing as a potent fighting force depends upon the battle. The Russian general staff has been quoted aa believing tnat. should Russia deliver a crushing blow to the German defense, the roalway to Berlin will be thrown wide open and the kaiser can be expected to initiate a peace movement. Alsno Battle XAsta 31 Days, The battle of the Aisne, which be gan as a rear guard action 21 days ago, and became converted into a general battle two days later, atlll rages with uninterrupted ferocity. The Germans have denuded their centre to send fresh forces into the fighting line on the west. The great "fish hook turning line," extending from Lasslgny and bellying out to ward Douai and Bapaume now con tains fully 75,000 men. Three troops of the active corps, tho reserves, the landswehr and landsturm, are fighting shoulder to shouler, In a desperate attempt to break the allied line and Isolate the forces of General D'Amaide and certain British supports, who novf hold the tip of the flanking Una. All reports received hero agree that the fighting: is of the most desperate character and that the Germans are throwing men against French and British guns like corn in Britisn guns like corn in a popper.;" U1",u,'u,u "tie But It Is Insisted that at no single ; and collection, of water rentals point has the allied position been i pierced. Because. ' of tho violence of the combat it is not believed here j that the Germans can much longer sacrifice men in a movement where at, no point have they gained a single mile. That tho . big Canadian contingent will soon be a factor' is hinted at here. There is ' a growing suspicion that they already may be on the fighting line. It is known that the Indian forces are now engaged. They have been distributed at points whef their great mobility will prove a per ceptible factor, but naturaly the loca tion Is withheld at present. Zeppelin Bald Imminent. - Meanwhile there is a growing be lief that a raid by the German Zep pelin fleet is imminent. Count Zep pelin is reported as at Wilhelms haven, where the chief units of the Zeppelin and Parseval aerial fleets have been assembled. In the number are reported .. to be many , that are heavily armored on their under sides and cary armored plate to protect the gas bags. , The hatred of Britain and all things British Is growing so In tense; in Germany it Is said,, that " universal ueuuiuu tor a piow asamsi the one power : which has cost Ger many practlcaly her entire commerce is constantly increasing. : It is ad mitted 'that for the present the fleet must be kept under the protection of the land guns. Consequently, a. raid through the air Is now considered Inevitable. For the' last week high winds have swept the German, coast and every day that passes, will add to tne difficulties of the German air fleet. Autumn and winter gales will soon be the rule instead of the "ex ception and these will make a raid In force with dirigibles, if not impossi ble, at least very dangerous. Tho Germans aro also reported work ing night and day on submarines and are said to have fully 50. additional of the latest type ready for commission ing. It is realization of this fact that has led th admiralty to resort to mine planting, a method of warfare wntch In the early stages of the war was uni versally denounced. Additional details are declared to be at hand which prove conclusively thje Belgian-French allegations that tne Prussian troops and especially Prus sian officers, were responsible for the most of the atrocities which have been alleged to !have taken place in both Belgium and Franca. In this eonneV tion, Percy P. Illingworth, the chief liberal whip of the house of commons, in a speech delivered at Shipley today, declared that the British government is ' gathering authenticated evidence which, will later be published. . "This evidence,, "declared Illings worth, "Is being Investigated by a re sponsible British commission. It is carefully going over ail - of the prouf preparatory to making It public later on. I am violating no confidence when I say that when the damning proof is made public the entire civilised wond will stand aghast and will units In a demand that the utmost punishment be meted out to the men responsible."

GERMANS TAKE OUTER LINE OF BELGIAN FORTS (Continued From Page One.) the forts out of business, have dashed forward by entire regiments, only to be received by a deadly fire which has simply annihilated the attacking force. The Belgians have also essayed a num ber of successful sallies, in which they have Inflicted deadly loss on the enemy. i Antwerp Itself Is quiet and confi dent In preparation for any eventu- j ality, guns have been posted at every point of - vantage in the suburbs so that if the Germans should succeed in breaking through the line of forts they could be prevented from enter ing tho city proper. As a matter of fact, there are few of the active Ger- j man lines of troops left in northern' Belgium. All have been withdrawn to ; extricate the German right in France ! front an -extremely dangerous position, j and the fighting here is being waged ; by. the German naval reserves and i the German landwehr. - In connection with the defense plans under the direct orders from King Al- I bert all of the dykes and sluices hara seen opened . and the lowlands, espe- ! ciaiiy in the valley of the Scneldt. are covered with water, waist deep.

All trees have been chopped down so that there is not a particle of cover for the foe. , Because of all these precautions, the confidence of the Belgians that their new capital cannot be oap tared is supreme. Business is going on as usual. Even the presence of Zeppe lins in the vicinity of the city caused no alarm.
