This maneuver lias not succeeded today more than on preceding days. Fortunes Are Alternating. "On our right in Lorraine and in Vosges the fighting proceeds with al ternating fortunes.

Kmile Almond, president of the finance committee of the Senate and a military man, declared to the newspa pers tonight that for a circumference of 150 miles around, the entrenched camp of Paris is defended by 1000 can nons of large caliber, perfectly shel tered and capable of crossing the fire so as to defend all approaches.

A dispatch to the Tteuter Telegraph Company from Ant werp reaching here by way of Ostend says that it seems that the attempt of the Germans to envelop the left wing of the allies has been frustrated. A big force of German cavalry ad vancing on Compeigne lias been vigor ously repulsed and obliged to abandon several pieces of artillery. Enveloping Movement Arrested. The correspondent adds: "It is learned on good authority that the advance movement of the German right wing has been checked for the last two days under pressure from the left wing of the allies. The enemy has beeu compelled to retire on St. Quen tin. A big force of German cavalry that was advancing on Compeigne was vigorously repulsed and forced to aban don several pieces of artillery. "it appears that the attempt to en velop the allies- left wing was frus trated." Surrender of Parts Considered. However, according to a dispatch from Paris, the French authorities are considering the surrender of the city In order to avoid destruction of prop erty by artillery fire. This will be done, the correspondent says, only In case the outer line of the defenses of Paris are passed by the invaders. British. French and Belgian wounded are being transferred from Paris to other cities, and the great exodus of the populace of the French capital to the south continues. The German army, at least at one point.

Late news dispatches from Dieppe de scribe the German right as at the rear of the retreating French through Crell, Senlls and Crepy-en-Valols, towns 24, I'd and 35 miles, respectively, distant from the boundaries of Paris proper. The fortifications of the French capital extend roughly 10 miles beyond the city limits. A dispatch to the Telegraph says: "St. Quentln was the scene of a Brit ish fight Sunday. On the British right the French, under General Pau, scored a distinct success. On Sunday and Monday the Germans were hotly pressed near Guise.

WAR PICTURES IN THE SUN DAY OREGON I AN. The axiom, "The pictures tell the story." will be proved once more in The Sunday Oregonian, In which will app"ear four pages of clean-cut reproductions of photographs, nearly all of which were taken lit the war Bona since the fighting began in France and Belgium. These pictures are all the more remarkable from the fact that every army in the great war prohibits the use of cameras by civilians. A study of them will give a vivid idea of the character of the country which is now overrun by millions of armed men. how these men them selves look In the field under actual war conditions, and some thing of the devastation that has already been wrought by tha great conflict. In addition to the pictures and the many other features that will make The Sunday Oregonian a valuable reference work to any one who wishes to keep posted on the war and who does not? There will be a comprehensive and carefully prepared double page map of the war zone, show ing virtually all the places men tioned in the dispatches. With the aid of this map, it will be possible to follow the movements of the armies and to speculate, perhaps very closely, on what the next moves will be in the enor mous and terrible chess-game in which armies are beinjj used as pawns and world-capital take the place of the more valuable pieces. PERSIA, EGYPT AND NDU IN PERIL. TOO Extension of War Zone Is Discussed. JAPAN COUNTED ON FURTHER Aid to England Against Turkey Deemed Probable. ALLIANCE VIEWED BROADLY Porte Affirms Neutrality, but Dip lomats Disbelieve Protestations and Think Entry Into War Is Merely Delayed." WASHINGTON. Sept. 4. Intimations have come to many European diplomats In 'Washington that hostilities may not only be extended to Italy and the Balkans, should Turkey enter the field, but the Caucasus, Persia, Egypt and India as well. In such event the pres ence of Japanese troops and fleets in Western Asia, particularly to assist England In either India or Persia, would not be surprising, according to diplomats representing the allied pow ers. While Japan has confined her pres ent operations against German terri tory to Kiau-Chau and the China Sea, the spirit of the Anglo-Japanese alli ance, after a conference with Great Britain, might lead her to help her ally elsewhere. Turkish Assertion Disbelieved. A. Rustum Bey, the Turkish Am bassador, made public a telegram from his government which he regarded as conclusive of his government's Inten tion to remain neutral, but his views were not shared by diplomats repre senting the allies. The latter believe that Turkey is merely delaying announcing her Inten tions while completing military prepa rations. The Turkish Ambassador's cablegram was as follows: "By virtue of the neutrality we have declared, the military authorities have received orders to insure by every means possible the entire safety of mer chant vessels of the belligerent nations taking refuge in our ports." The Ambassador showed Secretary Bryan the message, assuring him also that Americans would be safe. Americans Declared Safe, "There is no danger whatever to Americans, and there need be no fear on that subject," said the Secretary afterwards. The Ambassador admitted later that If Turkey entered the conflict on the side of Germany and Austria she would make her operations as extensive as (Concluded on Pag 2.)

COMPETITORS. -aSJ & EVER! ABLE-BODIED BRITON SUMMONED Asquith BeginsCrusade for Enlistment. COUNTRY'S NEED PROCLAIMED Premier Says Struggle Will Be Protracted One. BLAME LAID TO GERMANY 'Sooner Than Stand Aside,' Declares Statesman, 'We "Would See This Country or Ours Blotted From Pages of History.' LONDON. Sept. 4. in tne historic Guild Hall of London, Premier Asaulth today started the crusade to stimulate enlistment under the Brit ish flag, which he intends to push through the country. He is calling on every able-bodied Briton of military age to come to the help of his country in the hour of need. The Premier opened his Guild Hall address with the announcement that up to today between 275,000 and 300,000 recruits had responded to the call of Lord Kitchener, the Secretary of War Nation's Conscience Held Clear. The Premier said the empire had entered into this contest of might versus right with clean Judgment and a clean conscience, and added: "What would have been our place among the nations if we had been base enough or so paralyzed In our sense of honor and duty to be false to our word and faithless to our friends? We should have been standing by with folded arms and with such countenance as we. could command while this small and unpro tected state, Belgium, was defending her vital liberties and making a heroic stand against overwhelming forces." Continuing, Premier Asquith detailed the heroic efforts of the Belgian forces. He mentioned the siege of Liege and enumerated countless outrages on the part o what he termed "buccaneering adventurers."-' He declared the great est crime against civilization was the sacking of Louvain. "This shameless holocaust," the Pre mier continued, "was performed with blind barbarian vengeance. Sooner than stand aside, we would see this country of ours blotted out from the pages of history." Germany Declared Responsible The Premier paid a compliment to the policy of Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary. Reviewing the incidents leading up to Uie war, he declared that one power, and one pow- (Concluded on Page 3.) Friday's War Moves EXCEPT that German operations were continuing around Paris, and fighting had been renewed In Bel gium news from the western scene of war operations was lacking yesterday. Dispatches emanating from London led to the belief that the advance of the Germans, In their effort to envelop the allies' left wing, had been arrested at least for the time being. It was said that a large force of German cavalry had been repulsed In an advance on Complegne, which previous dispatches had Indicated to be virtually abandoned by the allies' forces. It was said further that the German advance guard had been forced to retire on St. Quentln. This is a point at which British troops previously have been hotly engaged. Meanwhile, whatever the situation as between the Germans and the allies, Paris has a real sense of the nearness of the struggle. Tha authorities are reported as considering the possibility of surrendering the city if the Germans penetrate the outer line of defenses, for the purpose of avoiding the great destruction of property that would re sult from the artillery assault. Lon don is advised that at one point at least the Germans are within 20 miles of the Paris defenses. The French official statement vouchsafes only that the op posing armies around Paris have not come In contact. Tbls statement says the French have been successful in Lorraine and the Vosges. Eastern Prussia is left in darkness, as far as the outer world is concerned. Russians continue to give accounts of a great victory around Lemberg. This is now declared to be of first import ance and Petrograd (St Petersburg) declares It lias rendered the Austrian army In Gailcia of no further military value. It Is known that the military operations In that region have been overwhelming in their magnitude. Along the entire front of 250 miles probably 1,500,000 men were engaged Around Lemberg the Austrlans had 200,000 men and perhaps GOO pieces of artillery. Lemberg Is a Junction point of eight railroads and contained great quantities of military stores. Russian officials declare their victory has put out of action a quarter of Austria's iirst line troops, captured a quarter of Austria's total field artillery and given command of all the roads leading from Gailcia into Hungary. Premier Asquith yesterday made a strong appeal to Great Britain for men. He said between 275.000 and 300.000 recruits had already been enlisted, but he urged every able-bodied man to respond to the call. The speech, made at Guild Hall at the opening of a cam palgn to obtain volunteers, is regarded In some circles as huving been Intended also as a message to France to convey the Idea that even though Paris should fall, the people of that country should not lose heart, but be cheered by the knowledge that their British allies were determined to see the war through to the end. "Sooner than stand aside," Premier Asquith said, "we would see this coun try of ours blotted from the pages of history." That another naval battle in the sea has occurred seems possible from a statement Issued by the London offi cial press bureau. It said seven Ger man torpedo-boat destroyers had ar rived at Kiel In a damaged condition, and that others were understood to have been sunk "in the vicinity of the Kiel Canal." In some quarters, how ever, it was suggested that the ves sels may belong to the German force that was engaged In the recent fight with the British off Heligoland. Diplomatic circles In Washington are discussing gravely the effect Turkey's entry into the conflict will have. The Turkish Ambassador. A. Rustum Bey. yeBterday made public a telegram de claring his government's Intention to remain neutral, but no one seems to take the Turkish protestation seriously. It is believed Turkey Is merely de laying a formal declaration until she is better prepared. That she will en deavor to harass the enemies of Ger many and Austria-Hungary wherever possible is taken for granted. Invasion of Persia, an expedition to Egypt, at tacks on the borders of India are con sidered among the possibilities. In this event, it is believed, Japan will extend herself In aid of her ally. That she would send men and ships to Persia Is regarded as probable. Japan Is said to be disposed to view her treaty obligations In this respect broadly. The Japanese Embassy let It be said that while Japanese alliance did not obligate Japan to send troops to protect British interests In India or Persia, yet Japan Is being guided some what by the broad spirit of the agree ment and by the feeling that as her ally's Interests In Asia are at stake, she must aid wherever it may be de sired. The German Ambassador, Count von Bernstorff, protested to the State De partment at Washington yesterday that neutrality was being violated at New York, which was being made vir tually a base of supplies for the British cruiser fleet In that vicinity. Cruisers have been seen near shore, and It Is charged lighters have been towed out to meet them, carrying food, fuel and ammunition. Intercepted wireless messages Indicated the cruis er Suffolk, at least, had been In com munication, through Slasconsett sta tion, with sources of supplies In New York. Beef was among the supplies ordered. Other intercepted messages indicated an effort on the part of the New York, men to deliver the goods. The Bulgarian Minister to Greece de clares Bulgaria will maintain her neu trality. This. If persisted In. will In terpose something of a barrier to the Turkish advance northward. Further confirmation was received In New York last night that many thou sands of Russians had gone Into France by way of Scotland to Join the allies against the Germans. Their number was said to be about 7O.UO0 or 0,00u. THRONG AT ALBANY HEARS MR. BOOTH Keynote Speech of Cam paign Is Delivered. SPEAKER CHEERED HEARTILY Business Life Bared as Open Book to Public.
