(Special to The Review).
Antwerp, Sept. 7. By flooding the country southwest
of here to prevent the Kaiser's artillery from operating
close to Antwerp's fortifications, the Belgians drowned
many Germans, it was learned. The country about Ant
werp, as in much of Holland, is below the sea level, and
the water is held back by dykes. The sea, when the gates
were thrown open, rushed in so rapidly that the German
troops had no time to escape.. Large numbers took refuge
on house tops and in trees. Those unable to reach places of
safety perished. The Germans lost numbers of cannon. It
is estimated the Kaiser suffered 5000 casualties at Ter
monde Friday and Saturday.
GENERAL BATTLE IS IN PROGRESS.
Paris, Sept. 7. Military Governor Gallieni has pub
lished the following dispatch from the war office at Bor
deaux : "The French and British are now engaged in a gen-
eral action with the Germans northeast of Paris. The bat
tle lines extend from Nantovil to Verdun and from Verdun,
via Vitry, to La Francois in the Department of Marne, 19
y miles southeast of Chalons, and at the commencement of
the Rhine-Marne canal. The French and British have com
pelled the Germans to retire from the region of Coulom-
s miers, in the Department of Seine, at Marne, on the Grand
Morin River, after two days fighting, which ended Sunday
night. The entire French and English lines are in action,
and the combat is vigorous in the extreme."
BRITISH BREAK THROUGH GERMAN LINES.
Paris, Sept. 7. The German right flank has been
turned by the allies, according to a telegram from the war
office at Bordeaux. Simultaneously, it was stated the
British broke through the German lines, imperiling the
Kaiser's entire right wing, and forcing him to withdraw
troops from Lille and vicinity to strengthen this wing. It
is believed the Germans have ceased their march directly
on Paris, having learned that the allies contemplated a gen
eral engagement west of the city. The French were massed
there ready to entrap the enemy, but the German scouts
and aviators discovered the danger. It is evident the Ger
mans suddenly changed their program.
SITUATION FOR ALLIES IMPROVING.
Bordeaux, Sept. 7. The French are celebrating as a
victory the Germans failure to attack Fans. the war
office was of the opinion that the Kaiser is only waiting
until the ring wing of his army is strengthened. General
Von Buelow is trying to reach it with a force from Rheims.
That the situation on the fighting front is improving for the
allies was asserted by War Minister Millerand.

ROSEBURG REGULARS
DEFEAT COTTAGE GROVE
IN A FAST EXHIBITION
In a slow, yet lntoresling game
of baseball, played on tbo North
Hosebtii-g diamond Sunday afternoon
the Koseburg Regulars defeated the
Cottage tJrovo team by a score of
1 to 2.
While both teams played steady
ball throughout the game, there
were few features, save the home
runs of linker, of Cottage drove, and
Black, of Koseburg. The hit which
resulted in llaker circling the bases
In a walk was probably the longest
oue recorded on the local grounds in
several seasons. Tho ball glided
high and passed over the fence nt
the point farthest from the grand
stand. llaker. who pitched for tho visit
ors, was in his usual good form and
succeeded in fanning 14 of the locals.
Ilargreaves, who occupied the mound
for tho Regulars, In place of Medley,
who was out of commission, struck
out If) of the visitors. Ilargreaves
pitched remarkable ball throughout
the game, displaying considerable
speed and good control.
James Goodman, who played sec
ond base for the locals, was put out I
of tho game in the second Inning,
wnen lie was quite severely injured
while making one of his sensational
'slides to second base. In some man
ner an iron stake, holding the sec
ond bag, came in contact with his
(head, just above the eye. He sus
tained a deep cut, and it was some
jtimo before ho was able to leave the
field, lie was taken lo town, where
he was attended by a local physician.
In addition to receiving a gash over
tho eye, Uoodman's chin was badly
bruised.
Brumbaugh, who played wilh the
visitors, was also forced to quit the
game, after making a fast run from
first to second base. As he reached
the latter base he ducked his head,
with the result that he was struck
a severe blow behind the ear by com
ing in contact wilh .Mathews' knee.
Mathews was playing ;econd base
for the locals. Brumbaugh w-as ren
dered unconscious for a time and the
game was delayed several minutes on
account of his injuries. Dr. Sether
attended the injured man last even
ing, and found him to be suffering
from a slight concussion of the brain.
That he will recover in a few days
Is the belief of the physician.
Of the six runs made by the op
posing teams, only two of them were
earned. These were the long drives
of Baker, of Collage drove, nnd
Black, of Koseburg. The other four
runs were made on errors, compris
ing wild throws anil fumbles.
The game was witnessed by finite a
large crowd and was thoroughly en
joyed. AUTOMOBILE DAMAGED

Twelve Hundred People Are at
Riddle Today
v SHOOTING EVENTS ARE PLEASING
Address of the Day Was Delivered by Hon.
Geo. Riddle Members of the State
Game Com. loin in festivities
(Hy A. V. Palm).
UIDDLU, Or., Sept. 7. Although
the weaver was not as favorable as
it might hnvo been, the Second An
nual Venison llurbecue, held hero
today under tho auspices of the Kid
dle Rod and (iun Cluh, proved one of
tho best attended and most entertain
ing events of its kind ever arranged
in this section of the state.
The beautiful cedar grove, in
which the festivities of the day are
being held, is located on the ban Its
of the South Pnipqua River a short
distance from Kiddle and is one of
the really delightful pleasurespots of
Douglas County. Coder the beauti
ful trees there assembled today more
than 1200 people bent on making the
second annual venison barbecue one
that will be long remembered by nil
present. Included in tho throng
were people from all sections of the
state, including Ciame Warden Kind
ley, of Salem, and other men of state
wide prominence.
The program of the day began with
an exchange of greetings between
the reception committees selected by
the Kiddle Rod and Can Club and
the many visitors. As the trains ar
arived in town the committees were
on hand to welcome the visitors with
open arms. Knhancing the crowds
that arrived by train were hundreds
of people who came by automobile
and other private conveyances. Al
most every part of Douglas County,
as well as many other sections of the
state were represented.
When the visitors had all arrived,
shooting events began, and were par
ticipated in by some of tho most
skillful marksmen ot' the state, of
these were representatives of many
Portland wholesale houses who came
over 2i miles that they might enjoy
the day's sport.
The main rifle even), for a silver
trophy and merchandise prizes was
the first competitive shoot of the
day. In this event only members of
Ihe Kiddle Rod and (iun Club were
allowed to take part. This event was
a L'OO yards off-hand shoot.
Tho prizes were as follows: Phst.
silver trophy; second, safety razor
and cash; third, hunting knives;
fourth, calabash pipe; lilt h, fishing
pole.
The second event of the morning
was the shotgun shooting, with five
entries and ten shots, for first and
second money.
This was followed by a musical
program by the Kiddle baud. This
musical organization is one of tho
best in this section, and the several
numbers were liberally applauded.
As soon as the musical program
was concluded, the throng of hungry
visitors hurried to the scene of the
bar been o, where barbecued venison
and other provisions were served in
great quant il les. 'lien fine Southern
Douglas bucks, previously killed bv
members of the Kiddie Rod and Cun
Club, served to satisfy the appetiies
of the visitors anil home folks. In
addition, the club served coffee and
fruits as well as other delicacies.
People who attended tho last barbe
cue given by the Riddle sportsmen,
pronounce today's feast far ahead of
those in former years. Tho meat
was rendered delicious under the
careful attention of an experienced
chef, and that it was greatly appre
ciated was attested by the amount
consumed.
The afternoon program opened
with an address by lion. Ceoige W.
Riddle, one nf the pipnecr resident
of this part of the couiilv. Mr. Rid
dle related the experiences of lin
early settlors In Douglas County, and
of how they had slrived and him-itiI-ed
in building Hie foundation for one
of t he great et and mo-d prod n ' i e
count ios in I he entii o Went . In his
concluding remarks Mr. Kiddle form
ally welcomed the visitors to Kiddle
and urged iheui to have a good time
at the Rod and Cun Club's evptuse.
(lis address was listened to by rev.
oral hundred people and he was to
pen ted ly interrupted by npphiiise.

was in charge of Tom Craig.
Among the members of the state
fish and game commission here were

A. Catron.
Plan a State Shoot.
Arrangements were partly com
pleted hero today by the members ot
the different rod and gun clubs in
Oregon to hold a stuto shoot hero at
an early date. The suggestion to
hold the state event at Kiddle met
wilh favor, and it is safe to predict
the proposition will materialize.
Kveryone here is having a good timo
and no trouble or expense has been
spared to entertain the visitors. The
townspeople are a generous and
good-hearted class and cannot do too
much for tho stranger within their
gates.
There are about loo people in at
tendance from Koseburg, most of
whom will return home on train No.
10 tonight.

In a Solid Phalanx 150 Miles Long the Kaiser is Hurling His
Lull Strength Against the Allies five German
Armies Engaged in the Attack
ABOUT 250 MEMBERS Of THE
Delayed Information Tells of the Fight at longwy and Ihe Surrender of the forts There
Survivors Claim the Germans Used a Host Powerful Explosive,
Which Bursts With little Smoke
(Special to The Review).
London, Sept. 7. Germany is staking everything on
one mighty battle. In a solid phalanx 150 miles long the
Kaiser is hurling his full strength against the allies. Driv
ing to the southward from Nantenil, General Von Kluk's
force constituted the extreme right wing, and General Von
Heeringon's body was on the extreme left. Five German
armies are between them, all striking desperately at the
same spot. Experts declared it was obvious the Kaiser's
plan was to annihilate the allies mnhilo fnrrps that -
divide his own force, leaving half to besiege Paris and rush
ing the other half eastward to meet the Russians.
PATHFJNDER'S CREW PERISHES.
London, Sept. 7. Out of a crew of 254, all but 58 of
those aboard the British light cruiser Pathfinder, blown up
by a mine in the North Sea, lost their lives, it was unoffi
cially reported. Of 58 survivors, it is said 16 were wounded,
four dying on their way to port on a trawler which picked
them up.
CZAR'S TROOPS PRESSAUSTRIANS.
Petrograd, Sept 7. The Russians in East Prussia are
advancing on the Germans' fortified positions on the river
Deime. They are also besieging Konigsburg citadel. From
north to south the Russian line is stretched through East
Prussia, the Russian Polish provinces of Plock, Warsaw,
Radom, and Austrian Galicia, a distance of approximately
500 miles. The Czar's troops are pressing the Austrians
hard in Russian Poland. The Austrians are being reinforced
by Germans.
BRITISH FLEET PREPARES FOR BATTLE.
London, Sept. 7 Stirred by recent evidences of Ger
man naval activity in the North Sea, where it was supposed
the Kaiser's ships were safely bottled up in port, the British
fleet is preparing to crush Germany's power afloat. It was
admitted by the Admiralty that important events are im
pending. BRITISH CRUISER IS STRANDED.
Washington. Sent. 7. The following cablegram was
4 " o o
received by the German Embassy, dated at Berlin: "The
British cruiser Warrior is stranded." The cablegram gave
no details.
STORY OF LONGWY BATTLE.
Rotterdam, Sept. 6. Information reaching here from
German sources gives additional details regarding the fight
at Longwy and the surrender of the forts there. For five
days the fortress held out under a bombardment which was
terrible in effect. The first shot killed one officer and ten
men. Some of the shells penetrated through the three-fold
casements of the fort. As an acknowledgement of the great
bravery shown in the defense, Crown Prince Frederick Wil
liam permitted Colonel Darche, the French commander, to
retain his sword. The range of the German guns during
the bombardment was eight kilometers (about five miles).
French prisoners arriving at Cologne from Longwy
insist that the German artillery used a new explosive of
great force, which bursts with an intense green flash and
gives off little smoke. The explosive is so thoroughly proof
against shock that a shell is able to penetrate the thickest
wall and not explode.
Gradually the number of German soldiers now at the
front and their methods are being brought to light by the
German press. From the information available it now ap
pears that Germany has more than 1,000,000 men in France,
the total number of army corps assigned to the invading
forces, as described in German papers, being 22, without
counting independent cavalry divisions and the artillery,
which are under separate command.
Letters from the front published in German papers in
(licitc that it is seldom any regiment gets into action often
er than once in a week, except when circumstances make
this necessary.
While admitting that their losses have been heavy, the
German press ridiculed statements by the foreign papers
concerning their heavy losses and make sarcastic comment
on assertions that the Germans fight in close order and are
poor marksmen. They maintain that the German losses
are surprisingly light, considering the results achieved, and
