Italians has shown to an extent little

departments of the hotel and restau

foreigners. At the outbreak of the
war, 10,000 foreign waiters alone
quit iheir jobs in London.
Foreign teachers have left thou

in the regular English schools were
teachers of languages as a rule, but
not always.

the foodstuff, forage for horses and. indeed, al the nec
essaries that m ere not commander* by the Gem»ans mwt
taken by the Belgian troops themselves. One and a half
million Belgian homes have been either destroyed or
rendered uninhabitable. One million Belgians have fled
to England and Holland.
GERMANS ATTACK FIERCELY
PARIS, Now 2.—The onlv tkws from the seat of mar
is that the allies are meeting determinedly the latest Sol
ent offensive movement of the Germans in Beic am and
France. The generals of the allied forces assert that the
balance of gains favors them and they look to see the Ger
man offensive fail in this section of the war theater. The
truth of these calculations seems to he home out by the
fact that the Gerrmans have withdrawn to the east tank
of the Yser, An official statement this morning says that
the German attack on the allied left mine between Da*
mude and the river Lys has been continued. It m*> carried
out yesterday with tremendous violence in spite of counter
attacks so that the enemy in that part of the held bas
made slight gains. Further statement has no: been giver,
out and some anxiety has been caused by the fact that no
decisive gains have been claimed.
BRUSSELS PAYS NINE MILLION
BERLIN, Nov. 2.—The war indemnity to be paid by
Brussels has been fixed at nine millions. It mil': he paid at
the rate of half a million weekly according to the arrange
ment made by the German government. The fact that the
indemnity has not been insisted or. al . at once is taken here
*s a matter of course as the people have no idea mhatever
that the German army will retire before the expiration of
the time allotted for the payment. Indeed the idea of re
tirement has evidently been given u; altogether.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—The Rockefeller Foundation

ROME, Nov, i—A sensation has been creates! Here
by the fact that a Turkish gunboat has been reported at
the entrance of the calf of Suez. The presence of this brat
in that quarter has given rise to the belief that nothing
else is intended but an attack on the Suet cana itself as
the firs: step to bringing the war into Egypt and to cnp
oie the British in tha: pan of the worki The genera opin
ion a this country is nom tha: Turkey is being used by
Germany rn a manner that had never been suspected and
tha: her strength will bf drected entirety towards the
Asiatic holdings of the allied powers instead of being
directed against Russia in Europe It is assumed tbait
Turkey's mobilization in her Asiatic dominions indicates
tha: an agreement has been arranged with Bulgaria which
will take away the possibility of ar* attack from the north.
