FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
London, Oct. 14—A panic is
said to exist, at Ostend over I lie
news of the advance 'Of liie
German armies against Ilia!
place. The Belgian govern
ment has been moved from Os
tend to llarve, France, and the
Allied troops arc being rushed
forward to Defend the former
place. The Germans are said
lo he advancing on Ostend along
three different routes, and the'
la§t reports had their cavalry
and bicycle corps within twenty
miles of the coast. The cap
itulation of Antwerp has freed
fully two Ihundred thousan 1
men which Germany had to
maintain in Belgium, and this
force will now be at liberty
either to act as an independent
army against Ostend or to bo
added lo the millions Germany
now has in France. The addi
tion of this body of men to the
German battle line will give
them the preponderance of
numbers, and if properly handl
ed they may be able to sweep
the French and British forces
back, capture Paris .as they took
Antwerp, and force France to
give up the fight or be wiped
out of existence. It is not be
lieved here that even Kaiser
Wilhelm is fool enough lo
actually undertake the con
quest of Great Britain, with the
armies of France at. his heels,
and he must first dispose of
that country, and thus put. him
self in a position to under
'• e the other. It may be
’■it the German plan of cam
paign calls for the capture of
towns along the coast of
e'gium and France now used
by the British for landing pur
noses, so as to delay the arriv
al of more men and supplies
from this side. But this is cer
tain that Briton is at last wak
:,,g up, and her millions are
ow offering themselves for
''nice under her banners.
