WAR NEWS OF A DAT.
Associated Pratt Report. I
The war chancellories of the allies and
the Germans have not seen fit to lift the
curtain of secrecy high enough for the
public to obtain an Insight into the con-
ditions which prevail along the battle line
In France.
There is nothing to report." aays the
French war office "except that there has
been a lively engagement In the region of

all. From the British and Germans came
nothing. '
Of the situation In the east the Aus

near tne aaat rru.iu
aian Poland they still were pressing the
Germans hard and at several points had
gained successes over them.
While a morning paper in lnaon naa
been informed "on good authority" that
Antwerp has fallen neither the British
official preaa bureau nor the Belgian min-
ister are able to confirm the report.
The last advices from Belgium had the
Germans still hammering away with th
artillery againat Antwerp. One dispel
said 200 big German guns were In oper
tlon there. Ostend advices reported tho
sands of refugees arriving in thstt city.
