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.

to efforts to secure the Issuance of
more money to relieve option mon,
said he believed there was plenty of
money in the country,- but the diffi

Of that beakfast thoy served tb
tho party- It consisted of n tender
steak about tho else of two plates,
witli nice sweet new-corn muffins,
Irish potatoes, French drip coffeo,
country butter. 'O lt's too good to
talk about. The cooks have a couple
of .mascots along, a kitten and a gume
chicken rooster, they were walking
about.on the ground.around the big
kettles and pots and "having the time
nf their lives." The kitten was partial
to tho hot steam pipes, for the morn

Out the crowd wont'to watch, the
process of lifting the big tents and thc
way 10 men could,stand -about and
drive tvith the sledge-hammers on one
slob was such a wonder that one
newspaper man couldn't see anything
else. That stob never stops from the
first tap of the hammer nutt! thc last
lick finishes tho Job. They take it In
rotation and there is ;a constant "tap
tap-tap" on tho stob that is rytumlcal
in' the extreme.
Another newspaper man, hpwover,
was extremely auxiou^tp see the ele
phants and. so the party moved on to
the big tents.' where Juo ahl?-.ala are.

had failed to arrive, but about this

to put tbc Sta'.e finances ou a onuh

today.
Another feature of today's, house

elections, one for thc election of a
successor to the late Jdge Kraust Gary,
and u successor to the Col. J. J- Lucan,
dccoascrl, member of the board of visi

There is little anticipation of any
legislation, unrelnted to thc relief of
tho stringent situation
Tile House accomplished little at
its morning session other than decid
ing that it would consider only bills
bearing on the emergency confronting
cotton growers and those ot. a local
character. ..
Tho House will moot again tonight,
it refused to consider a r?solution
from tho Senate fixing tito pay of
members for the special session at $5
for .each day of thc session and mile
age.
Tho House debated long a resolution
by Mr. Irby asking congress to pass
a law athorizlng tho Secretary of the
Treasury to loan. Scutes money di
rectly on their bond issues. It was
finally killed by a vote of three to one.
Tho principal controversy aroused by
the resolution was due to its com

come to tho United Slates after tho
war.
The special committee appointed to
cousldor cotton acreage reduction bills
