BOMBARDING ANTWERP FOR A PURPOSE THE BATTLE DYED. RIVERS ALONG LINE ARE Fighting on a Scale Never Before Equaled -- The New British Ary Now In Action. Paris, Sept. 28--That the Ger- mans are still increasing their ef- forts to break down the French of- fences is officially admitted. The result is" fighting on a scaie never before seen, and. the casualties alr ready are enormous But the oii- cial declarations insist that at no point have the Germans scoréd a victory. They drove back the allied left at Noyon, only in turn to be pressed back to their original posi- tion. They crossed the Meuse in the neighborhood of St. Mihiel, but could not hold their line, and were driven back across the wiver with great loss -- their pontoons shattered by the accurate fire of the French three-inch guns. The fighting on the left and right is of the hand-to-hand variety. The new British expeditfonary army and many of the French reserves are in action,' and Gen. Joffre is hurrying every available man from the rear to reinforce the line at every roint. It is J realized that this struggle will have utcome of the war Germany has her first and second lines, her re- serves, and part of her volunteers, engaged. A defeat will mean that they must retire, well into Germany to the shelter of the Rhine forts and into Belgium to the new lines al- ready prepared A victory for the Germans would imperil the entire al- lied structure everywhere. Fully realizing the great hazard, both the French and British commanders-in- chief are using every available man o ensure ultimate victory, There is absolutely no line obtains able on the losses But the rivers along the battle line are said to be running red with blood, and thous- AUN RED WITH BLOOD y Clothing | Bibbys | Boys' Clothing Meet or Beat All Catalogue Prices Overcoat Specials $8.50 Overcoat i Sizes 36 to 44.
