FAGGED AND SUFFERING
BUT SILL PATRIOTIC
Army of Paris Poor on Their
Way Back to Their Homes
in the City
By Ed L. Keen.
London. Oct. 13. Skirmishing
1 i m i mi rv to the expected battle of the
Kivor Lys was in progress today, the
war office announced. Thus far it was
said to be principally a cavalry eugnge-
ment.
That it would develop into an
portnnt battle was considered certain,
iuiihiuui'Ii as the I.vs river region
I Belgium mind be controlled by the Oer-
mans if General Von lleaoler, now at
Antwerp, is to join tlenernl Hoehm at
the point where is is strategically most
needed in i ranee.
Persistent reports were current that
the kaiser 'b forces were attacking Urn
ges, but the official war information
bureau here had not heard of it.
(Jei'iiinu avintors were reported num
erous In northwestern Ilclgium, sumo ot
them having been sighted as far north
as the const. It wim .reported several
of them bad dropped bombs but with
out doing any damage. '
Kx'pei'ts hero liid not believe the IIU'T1'11''
ser would violate Dutch neutrality by
taking Antwerp a naval base and in
sisting on using the month of the
Hclud.lt.
Should he undertake to do so, they
pointed out, it would bo necessnry for
him to order his fleet to ipiit Its pres
ent mii f i1 harbor at Williolinshavon, giv
ing the British fleet just the chance
they have been waiting for to attack it
in superior strength. And even if his
rhips should reach Antwerp, it was
added, the British could easily bottle
them ill the Scheldt, so that untiling
would have been gained by the change.
Since, there would be, according to
this reasoning, nothing to be gained by
it, the Ilritish view was that the Her
mans were unlikely to add to the num
ber irf their enemies by antagonizing
Holland.
With the news that the sent of the
Belgian government was lo be trans
ferred to Havre came the Information
that King Albert would remain In tho
field (it the head of his army.
