Br HIGH MARTI!.
OSTIND. Oct. 7.-Delf5.)-(SpcUJ
Cablrram to New TorK World and
Omaha B.) Last night the temporary
eat of irovemmant waa removed from
Antwerp to OatenA.
It was not finally decided to take this
atep till yesterday morning, though It
had been under consideration threa days.
All waa quiet last night in Antwerp and
there la no panic, but thousands axe
leaving the city. Oatend te crowded with
well-to-do fugltlvea.
Before leaving Antwerp, from what X
witnessed, It was apparent the siege of
th city was developing Into a second
battle of the Rivera. It raged Monday
from Termonde to LJerre. along the banks
f the Scheldt, Raple and Net he. which
the Belgian army waa defending agalnat
pdda with stubborn determination.
Mala Attack oa Lime.
The main attack was being launched
against Lierre, the enemy having appar
ently determined tot cross the Nethe at
this point, but vlgoroua pressure also waa
being applied along the Termonde
Mallnes road In the neighborhood of
Stamand. with the object of forcing the
Belgian field army beyond what can best
be described as the elbow of the Scheldt
spent some time or a for a fled plain
before the city, where the field artillery
agala bad been distinguishing itself. The
struggle waa one between two field
armies,, the Belgiaoa having the benefit
of fighting under their excellent fortress
guns, it cannot be too clearly under
stood that there waa a vital difference
between the defenses of Antwerp and
those of either Uege or Namur.
White forty-two-centimeter howitsere
may dtspoea of a Brtaimont ring of fort
resses. It by no means follows they will
be equally suoeeaeful against the wide
spread network: of floods, mines and wire
entanglements Intersected by water
courses such aa I passed through this
afternoon.
While I was In the western area of
operations a brief but vigorous attempt
waa made by the enemy to storm a short
length, of Belgian trenches and a hall of
rifle fire swept aver the field two miles
to the south of my position. The attack
waa repulsed and our field guns Immedi
ately countered with a vigorous bombard
ment by shrapnel.
. Peace. , Pletarr Oatdoae.
Tha respuaea was weak, the severe y
obviously being without sufficient artil
lery at this point, and it died down com
pletely when the . heavier guns In the
forts fired a few shots.
During tha exchange it waa curious to
not ' tha apathy of the peasants, who
were still living and carrying on every
day work In large numbera. Among the
forts and batteries children played as
ever, women kept their cottages spick and
pan and men worked quietly en taelr-
ltttle holdings, when net called upon to
dig trenches for the military. The famoua
picture of peace and war was out-done
before Antwerp every day.

WASHINGTON. Oct. I. Revision of the
administration war revenue bill was com
pleted by the caucus of senate democrats
late today and preparations moda to press
the measure In the senate. Senator Sim
mona. In charge of the bill, said the
finance Committee would present It to the
senate tomorrow and conslderatloa begin
at Once. He believed a week ef debate
would dispose ef the bill and clear tha
wsy for adjournment.
Aa the bill was completed by tha ean
cus, with its added levies on beer and
rectified spirits, and minus the proposed
taxes of gasoline and automobiles, Sena
tor Blmmons estimated that ft would
y'eld annually about tl06.SCO.ODa unless a
slump In beer production cats down tha
estimated revenue' from that source.
Tho Increased tax on beer la .expected
to yield from $43,000,000 to IM.00040Q, and
the rectified spirits tax of I cenU a
gallon is calculated ' to raise B,,00.
Stamp taxes on negotiable Instruments,
stocks and bonds, deeds and transfers,
bills of lading. Pullman car .and steam
ship tlcketa and Insurance policies are ex
pected to yield rw.eoo.000, and a atamp
tax on patent medicines, cosmetics and
perfumeries Is expected to yield t7.000.000.
The remainder wftl come from special
taxes on theaters and places of amuse
ment on tobacco, cigar and cigarette
manufacturers and en domestic wines.
The caucus eliminated today special
tax of 4 on brokers, cuttlngr out 1300.000
of estimated revenue. A vlgoroua contest
by Senator Lewis of Illinois resulted In a
reduction of the tax on Pullman tlcketa
from S cents . to 1 cent each. It . was
estimated that tho I-eent tax would have
yielded half a million of revenue. Effort!

The Milan correspondent of the London

rived In Italy from Berne, In an Interview
with a representative of the Stampa at
Turin, said:
"My august relative, ' William II, and

Austria ln a land of steel, from whlc
'ihey can never free themselves. Perforce,
they will have to yield."
Tho duke declared that rumors of truce
until the coming spring were absurd;
"Our tsar," he said, "has sworn to his
allies to destroy Germany and Austria.
The csar's troops are adept at : winter
