GERMANS TAKE ANTWERP AFTER HEAVY SHELLING OF ALL FORTS AND CITY

BELGIANS LEAVE CITY'S FATE TO GERMAN MERCY (Teutons Take Possession Friday, While City Burns in Many Quarters From Shell Fire. (REFUGEES ESCAPE Ifciondon Believes Germans Unable to Hold Captured Fortress Against Attack by Allied Hosts. BY LEASED WIRE. BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Oct. 10. Antwerp has fallen, according to an official announcement issued at the war office at midnight. It states that the Belgian garrison was led out of iAntwerp by its commander. "The German troops have taken Antwerp," said the statement. "Breaches Jiad been made in the fortifications at several points, and they had to be abandoned. The commander left there with his garrison on Friday. The city of Antwerp and most of the fortifications have been in possession of the Germans since Friday afternoon." LONDON ADMITS FALL. LONDON, Oct. 10. Belgium's sacrifice upon the altar of war Is complete. The city of Antwerp, the last Jewel In the crown of the little kingWorn, has been taken by the Germans. Jt has suffered the fate of Liege and Jamur. After reports had been in circulation Tor many hours that Antwerp had fallen, the war office admitted today that the city had been evacuated yesterday. It is understood that some of the inner forts are still holding out, but they can not resist long. The hope that Antwerp will be retaken by the allies is versed by Colonel Repington, military expert of the Times. He saya there is no reason why the Belgians should not join the allies hacking their way north of Arras. "Antwerp has not responded to the hope reposed in it," he says, "not because the garrison has not fought well, but because permanent forts in an exposed position stand no chance against modern artillery. If the Germans garrison Antwerp, we will retake the city. "We shall bring up guns able to knock the forts about the defenders' ears. "The capture of Antwerp will have one effect which can not be denied. It will remove the thorn in the Germans' side and set free the besieging force tor other duties. But Antwerp, even it converted into a first-class fortress, will bring little advantage, as the Scheldt can not be used for naval purposes unless the neutrality of the Netherlands is violated. The lower course of the river is in Dutch hands, and we shall certainly insist on the neutrality of the Netherlands not berfng violated at our expense." REFUGEES SUFFER. GHENT, Oct. 10. Fugitives arriving tier from Antwerp, whence they had t)cen driven by the bombardment, aseert that the plight of the Belgian refugees is desperate. "Thousands of refugees who had to leave their homes, old men, women and children," said one of the fugitives, "lie along the roadside, where they have collapsed. Panic is rife, from every town and village about Antwerp the refugees are fleeing. , It Is Impossible for them to travel by tall. They are able to get no conveyance and must, perforce, walk. "The situation at Antwerp was tertlble when I left. The streets were filled with panic-stricken people. Shells were falling everywhere. Some streets had been completely wrecked. The oil tanks had been set on fire." The Weather

PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES AGAINST VOTING DEVICE R. G. Leeds Points Out Efforts Made to Foist Machines on County and Aspirants for Council and Commissioners' Board Pledge to Vote Against Installation.

At a meeting yesterday at Progressive headquarters of candidates on the Progressive county ticket for the county council and board of county commissioners, which was addressed by R. G. Leeds on the voting machine question, all the candidates present agreed, if they are elected at the November election, to keep voting machines out of Wayne county. Mr. Leeds, who, as editor of the Palladium, has twice aroused public opinion in successful efforts to prevent the installation of voting machines in the county, gave a brief history, of the two attempts to foist them on the voters, paying special attention to the last effort in September, 1913, when the barefaced attempt to "railroad" a special appropriation was undertaken by the county auditor and members of the county council and county commissioners. , Explains Machines. He also explained ways in which the machines could be made to cast a crooked ballot and defraud the voters. He pointed out that several candidates on the Republican county ticket for the county council as well as for auditor,. wrf Jm aajoj Qsg who a

TRADES CALL MANY PUPILS FROMSCHOOLS High School Graduates 20 Per Cent Less Than Graduates From the Common Schools of County. Williams Collects Data to Show Necessity of Vocational Training in Wayne County Schools. In a partial report made up by County Superintendent Williams, he shows that the number of high school graduates in Wayne county is less than 20 per cent of the number of common school graduates, industry drawing the remainder. The report shows that half the

common school graduates enter high school, the other half leaving to become farmers or to enter trades. Of the half which start the high school course, 62 per cent are lost from the school during the four years, most of them soon after entering high school. The drawing power of the city to children of school age living within a short distance of the corporation limits, is shown by the fact that in Wayne township instead of fifty per cent leaving school when they graduate from the grades, the per cent is seventytwo. Industry Governs. The report taken by townships shows that the per cent of pupils leav ing school after the grades, is graduated according to the industrial conditions, the larger the town, the larger the per cent of pupils leaving school. As a contrast of the 72 per cent leaving after common school graduation in Wayne township, is New Garden township's record of only twenty per cent leaving. In the following table the first is the' township;' second - the " township seat and third the per cent of common school graduates not attending high school: New Garden, Fountain City, 20 per cent; Jefferson, Hagerstown, 59 per cent; Jackson, Cambridge City, 61 per cent; Wayne, Richmond, 72 per cent. Mr. Williams is compiling the report to file away with other data which shows the need of vocational schools to keep the common school graduates in the schools and to prevent the high school pupils from leaving before they complete the course. The fact that many high school pupils secure good positions in the summer months which they refuse to give up, is a large factor in keeping down the per cent of graduates. AUTO THIEVES DRAW HEAVY PRISON TERM The penalty for the joy ride which Ernest Hazlett and Edgar Wheaton of Dayton took last week in the automobile belonging to David Niccum of Hagerstown, is a penitentiary offense of one to fourteen years, disfranchisement for five years and a fine of $5. Judge Fox heard the testimony of the young men today. They denied intent to steal, and wanted prosecution under the joy riders' act. This was refused by the judge when he learned that they have made long journeys by "borrowing" automobiles at stages along the way and leaving them when they ran out of gasoline.

year ago backed the attempt to "railroad" the special appropriation for voting machines, and, as such, should be defeated by men standing unequivocally against such machines and such tactics. The Progressive candidates who went on record against the voting machines and promised, if elected, to prevent their imposition on the voters, were Albert Anderson and Marcus D. L. Reynolds, for county commissioners; F. M. Jones, C. B. Hunt, Richard Davenport and Hugh Allen, for the county council. The other Progressive candidates for the county council. Park Gipe, Lee B. Nusbaum and Nathan Colvin, were unable to attend the meeting. Mr. Nusbaum, who was Informed later, however, of the action taken by his fellow candidates, expressed himself as being in entire accord with them on the voting machine question. This means if the Progressive county ticket is again successful at the polls it will be impossible for the old political machines to further their interests by forcing the voters et tb county to use votlwi macfclpag, - " -5- . - S I

SCORE OF I TO 0 GIVES BOSTON EDGE OF LEAD FOR PREMIER HONORS Athletics Shut Out in Hard Game Veteran Plank Unable to Stay Attack of Braves Seeking Second Game of SeriesMake Tally in First Half oi Ninth Philadelphia Gets Elan on Bases in Its Half, but Unable to Push Player Across" Plate to Tie Game Stallings' Crew Confident from OutsideAthletics' Old Machine Wear- "nt Before Young Men in Stalling's Machine.

BY FRANK G. MENKE. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. Boston again demonstrated today that it Is superior to Connie Mack's Athletics by taking the game, 1 to 0, after a tussle that was everybody's game until the first of the ninth, when Deal was pushed across the plate for the only tally of the game. For eight long innings both sides fought with despair. The Athletics were keyed to the highest pitch, for yesterday's defeat rankled, while the Braves, urged on by the militant Stallings were determined to add another game to their credit on the home grounds of the Philadelphia leaders. Hope rose in the hearts of the Athletics when Barry was passed to first and stole second. Walsh walked. Only one man was out. Murphy hit into a double play, closing the inning.

In the ninth Deal, with one out, doubled, stole, third. James then struck out for the fourth time; then Mann singled sharply to left, scoring Deal. This gave Boston the first run of the game. At the end of the fourth inning neither side had been able to push a run across the plate, so tight was the defense of the infield and so effective the pitching of the opposing slab artists. Fans were on an edge at all stages awaiting the break that would give an opportunity to make the premier run. When seven innings had ' rolled by and neither team had been able to gain the initial marker that might turn the tide of battle, rooters went crazy under the tense excitement. Both Stallings and Mack, each in his own way were . urging . their men .to heroic efforts, but none seemed able to penetrate the stonewall defense of the other. Both Teams Happy. "We are happy," and "we are hopeful" were the respective refrains of Boston and Philadelphia rooters as they gathered this afternoon for the second game of the world's series. The Bostonians were happy over the fact that their favorites, the National league champions, had taken the first game. The Philadelphians were hopeful that the Athletics, winners of the American League pennant, would capture today's conflict. The weather was that of a summer day. In the shade of the grand stand, the war correspondents and the operators worked with their coats off, and their sleeves rolled up. Bleachers Filled. By 11 o'clock all the 4.000 bleacher seats had been filled. This was only an hour after the sale opened. At 7 o'clock this morning there were 2,000 in line at the bleacher ticket offices and several disappointed ones were turned away, when the tickets were exhausted. The Boston rooters were greatly in evidence as the teams went through their practice. A couple of the "royal rooters" attired themselves as Indian chiefs and danced exultantly about the field to the ragtime music of the Boston band, while the Braves watched their antics with approving smiles. Nervousness Gone. The Boston players yesterday showed some signs of nervousness, but today they had all disappeared. In practice they appeared like a ship that had "found herself," paying no attention to the batting efforts of the Athletics, though they watched every movement of the enemy yesterday. By the time the game began the sun was shining down with the power of an electric flame. The players sweltered 'as they dashed around the field in practice, but the heat did not affect their work. The Braves showed some startling field stunts. The Athletics did not show as much "pep" as their enemies, but they went at their work with a grimness and a real determination. First Inning.
