BERI4N, Oct. 1L IBy Wireless to Say
vllle, L. I., Oi't. 14.) The news from Ant
werp vm received last evening. No
extra editions of the papers announced
the fill of the Belgian town, hut the fact
became generally known and the streets
were filled with people carrying- flags.
There was no formal demonstration, only
a quiet feeling of satisfaction ever the
achievement of German arms.
It is commonly believed here that the
army will now be able soon to foroe the
French lines. Emperor William person
ally telephoned the new about Antwerp
to the empress.
It is officially stated that the bomb
thrown by the. British airmen on the
Zeppelin works at Dusseldorf caused
comparatively little damage. The-roef
of the ahed shows an Insignificant Hole.
It is reported the airship in the shed was
not Inflated and consequently the dam
sue can easily be repaired.
Kins Albert of Belgian In Order to
old . useless bloodshed la said here to
have Intended to sun-ended Antwerp, but
was prevented by the British, who led
the defense before the garrison with
drew. The British, it ia said destroyed
thirty-two merchant steamers and twenty-two
German Rhine river vessels in the
harbor. This act Is described hare as a.
wanton destruction Justified by no mili
tary measure of defense.
The following has been fives to the
press from official sources:
"The correspondent of the Efly Chron
icle states that the Belgian government
after the fall of Antwerp, planned to go
to London.
"The Baseler Mach rich ten states that
the Matin of Paris published pictures of
the 'cathedral of Rhelms taken after the
bombardment and showing -that edifice
was only slightly damaged. The Baseler
Machhlchten deduces that the French
official statement on . the destruction of
the cathedral is thus proved untrue.
"An official telegraphlo agency of Pet
rograd admits that the Russians suffered
great louses In men and guns during the
September fighting with Austro-Hun-garlans.
''Reuter'a Telegram company reports
frbm Poking that the Japanese have oc
cupied the German Island of Tap.
"It Is teported from Basel that German
ambulance troops taken prisoners In
France and returning by way of Basel,

CHRISTMAS SHIP'S
APPEALS STRONG
Purpose Does Not Need Emphasis of
Mere Rhetoric to Drive Home
Its Simple Message.
OMAHA WOMEN IN THE WORK
Foar Well.Known Ladles Volanteer
to Help Gather and Park Pres
ents for the Children of
the War-Tor a Lands.
One friend of the Chrlstmns Ship edi
tor said yesterday that the cauee has not
Jtet been stated with sufficient empliaels.
Mayba ao; It has been presented aimptl.
with no effort at frills of any sort. It
ouglrt not to require any emphasis, for
the project Itself la about the most potent
In Its appeal of any ever aet before the
public. It Is merely that American boys
and flrls are aaked to contribute sifts to
the end that the hoys and girls of Europe
may have something of Christmas Joy in
this year of trace, mt.
Carry Only nahlne.
That homea that have been darkened by
death, that have been wrecked and broken
as a result of the war, may get a little of
the sunshine of this land of blessed peace.
That Is all.
It Is for no one country In particular,
but for the children of all the countries
that are Involved In the strife, and when
the big ship of the American navy, flying
the Stars and tripes and bearing this
rreclous cargo, crosses the Atlantic ocean
next month, It will be received on the
other side as a harbinger of Joy and a
menage of peace on earth, good will to
men by, all the nations tnat are at war.
Their governments are pledged to that,
and to co-operate as far as possible In
seeing that the gifts are properly dis
tributed. That's the purpose of the Christmas
Ship.
Isn't its appeal sufficiently strong,
without the embellishment of rhetorical
flourish?
Oasaha Ladles Active.
Omaha Is beginning to wake up to the
message of the Christmas Ship. Yester
day Mrs. Clement Chase, Mrs. Charles Of
futt, Mrs. Frederick A.. Nash and Mrs.
M. T. Barlow formed themselves into a
cemmlttee that will tak .charge of the
work in the went part of town, and look
after' the gathering together and proper
pacKlng of ' all articles ' that . will be
donated In that section. Another meet
ing of these ladies will be at luncheon on
Thursday, when they, will more formally
organise and plan for the work. In the
meantime, gifts or donations of any sort
may be sent to the - homes of any of
theite four, where they will be properly
cared for and acknowledged:
Mrs. Clement Chase. 201 South Thirty
third street.
Mrs. Charles Offutt, 144 North .Thirty
ninth street.
Mrs. V. A. Nash, 'M South Thirty
seventh street.
Mrs. M. T. Barlow, W North Thirty
ninth street.
Time Is Getting Short.
The time Is getting short- In leas than
month the Christmas Ship will be on
its way a'Toss the ocean. Gifts should
be sent so that they will reach the Christ
mas Ship Editor of Tha Bee on or before
November 1.
That the smaller towns of Nebraska
are waking up Is proven by this message
sent to The Bee last night from Its corre
spondent at Plattamouth:

with other children In sending to the chil

IAH1.S, Oct. 14.-rThe activity of German
aeroplanes over Paris has brought up a
general discussion of the value of these
machines In warfare, and a recital of
thrilling aerial duels between French and
German machine.
Ono French corps rommander is quoted
as saying that In his opinion a ulngle
aeroplane is aa valuable as a division of
cavalry. Aeroplanes arc of the grcutest
service In preventing surprises, and few
Important movements have been mndo
which have not been reported promptly
by aerial scouts.
A daring encounter took place recently
between a German lnonoplone and a
French biplane during a critical moment

north of the River Olse. The Ger
man machine was seen sailing over the
French lines Just lefore a strong detach

The French machine gained an altitude
greater than Hint of the (iernian, but
even this advantage was not sufficient
to drive the scout aay. In a daring
dive, In which he braved a heavy fire
frof.i the French lines, the German de
scended to a helKhl of 1,ftffl yard and
skillfully avoiding the French muchlne,
headed for the German lines. The French
man seemed to have tUe advantage in

Frenchman, but the biplane, continuing
itsi flight at a considerable height, finally

fori a few moments as If the pilot had
lost control and then, fluttering tike a
wounded bird on the wing, the machine
started an oblique flight downward, fi
