I HEROISM, TRAGEDY AND STRIKING I INCIDENTS OF EUROPE'S BIG WAR Thrilling Story of Charge Ri valina That of the Fa- mous Light Brigade. N dispatches to the New Tork Bun and Londou Mall, from a point behind the British troopa which the censor would not permit him to name, correspoudeut describes a British charge which, he avers, ex celled that of the famous Light brigade at ltalakluva. "The campaign so far," he says, "ap pears to have been a series of stub born, disciplined, tnctlcal retreats tem pered with some offensive feats of ex traordinary gallantry. -One of these as It was recounted to me deserves to be put beside the most notable feats of the British army. "The Ninth lam-era seem to have re peated under almost the Identical con ditions the charge of the Light brigade at Baltikluva. "Since the beginning of the fighting the German artillery has been the bane of our troops during the action at , which is close to the Belgian frontier. Terrible havoc had been caused in onr Tanks by great shells from a battery of leven guns Inside a wood. By the disposal of large quantities of forage the guns had the appearance of small haystacks or something of the kind. Their first fire caused a terrible loss to our men. who approached unsuspect ingly. j Like Charge at Balaklava, 1 "The same guns continued their fire for several hours with continuous ef fect, and It seemed Impossible to si lence their fire, when the Ninth lancers made their heroic attempt "They rode straight at the guns, de jbouching into the open and charging under a bail of melinite or lyddite from other German guns. "I bave not been able to get an ac curate estimate of the distance they rode, but they reached the gunsheavy guns almost approximating siege guns in size cut down all the gunners and put the guns out of action. Then, like their prototypes at Balaklava. they rode back and on their return fell in greater numbers stllL" i "Get the Guns Back!" Another gallant deed reported by this correspondent was that of Cap tain F. O. Grenfell of the Ninth lan cers. He was hit In both legs and had two fingers shot off at the same time. Almost as he received these wounds a couple of guns. posted near by were deprived of their servers, all of whom -save one were struck by the bursting of shrapnel. The horses for the guns lad been placed under cover. ' "We'll get the guns back," cried 3renfell, and at that, with a number of bis men. In spite of his wounds, be did manage to harness the guns op and get them away. . Men who took part In the South African campaign say that the hottest firing there was childish compared 'With that the troops have undergone in Belgium and France. ! Scene of Awful Havoc. ' A fleeing resident of Cbantllly tells how the British with their Maxims cut the uhlans to ribbons. He was leading off a string of horses along the road when he was held up by English sol diers. ' "You had better hurry up," said they, '"for those blooming Germans are Just around the corner." I "I dropped my horses," be said, "and nipped off into the woods like a fox. made my way to my bouse, lugged off my wife and wrapped up a few be longings in a horse rug. We had a nightmare of adventures. "We could not get into Paris, so we drove around It to make our way to Dieppe by the railway line. On the road we were again stopped by Eng lish soldiers. More soldiers were be Uulnd us, and we thought they were English too. 1 " 'No, they are Germans,' said the soldiers. 'Scuttle around that bend, sharp.' Some scuttled, and I saw In a ditch alongside the road a few dozen English soldiers with Maxims showing tbelr noses through the long grass. "Tbe Germans were a hundred yards or so away when the Maxims let out slashing men and horses to ribbons. It was a ghastly sight More Germans were galloping across the fields, and an aeroplane was flying overhead In a circle. It did not seem real at all. "The English soldiers were firing as hard as they could at the aeroplane, and at the same time tbe quick firers Jn the ditch were going full pelt when ever a raiding horseman came along iiehind them artillery was firing, and ns the shells tore over onr heads the Tommies would cheer and shout out: 'There goes another blooming rocket! Iioller, boys!' And you bet they shouted." Cool Nerve of Belgians. i Stories of the cool nerve of Belgian soldiers under Ore are being told every where by refugees and correspondents arriving from the battlefield in lower Belgium. Tbe story Is told of one vol unteer who returned after a skirmish with nblans and calmly announced. "Well. I killed two." Then as be filled bis pipe he added: "I hit one right there." putting his finser to his forehead. "Ills helmet .Trent spinning, and I pitted It up Grim Realities of Battle and Touches of Humor Re- vealed In the News. later and saw the hole my bullet had made." Clerks, brokers and business men have been turned into fighting devils. The Belgians were not out of their uniforms for days at a time. Sleep ing and eating In the trenches when they could, they became veritable vag abonds. Even when catching a few winks of sleep the men lay with tbelr rifles on their arms ready for action. Machine Guns In Action. English soldiers from the front tell some wonderful stories about the ter rific execution done by their machiue guns on the advancing Germans. "We take up a position on the road side and wait for them to come," said one of these soldiers. "When they are 200 or 300 yards away we are eager to fire. Says the captain: " 'Walt a bit till I make sure they are not English." "He looks through his glasses and then says: " 'Let them have it boys!" "Off it goes, and you see fifty or sixty drop. But it makes little difference. Others come on, and then we move our guns." Use Mirrors ai Signals. Referring to the recent unfavorable news from the East Prussian frontier, a German officer, talking with a war correspondent said: "Now we know bow the Russians were able to escape our movements. The espionage service which they have organized Is enormous. The Russians are Informed of everything that is hap pening in the daytime by spies, who light fires that produce smoke of va rious colors, as suits their purpose. "At night they signal with lights. Mirrors are also utilized for signaling when tbe sun permits. Once we saw a procession of Russians carrying a sacred picture, which picture proved to be painted on a mirror. "The Russians always escaped when we had succeeded In getting them on dangerous ground." Sentimental Side lights. When the British expeditionary army landed on French sol tbe natives went wild with Joy, and women overwhelm ed Tommy Atkins with kisses. A letter received at London by the wife of one of the soldiers at tbe front de clares: "Tou would have been Jealous if you had seen the women, old and young, kiss us. I was kissed scores of times. The natives went frantic with Joy when they saw us. The women screamed with Joy as they hugged us. Many wept bitterly and then wiped away the tears and offered us small presents." . . Called to military duty, a Paris paint er bad to leave bis wife and four chil dren almost destitute. When be told his wife of the call she said: "Do thy duty without worrying about us. Tbe city and state and our asso ciations will look after us women and children." In a letter to her bnsband the wife Inclosed $1 out of $1.20, the total amount of money in her possession. AH of Servla Is enthusiastic In re gard to the coming campaign for tbe conquest of territory from the Aus tria ns. One of the most remarkable features Is the ardent enthusiasm displayed by the Servian women. Many of them bave taken a pledge not to love a man who baa not killed at least one of tbe enemy. When Lieutenant St Aubyn, killed In the Helgoland naval battle, was burled In London bis mother sent a wreath bearing the Inscription: "To my darling boy. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you." A Reuter dispatch from Dieppe says: "A German girl spy was arrested by English soldiers on tbe bridge over the Olse river at Lacrotx. In ber posses sion were the plans of all tbe roads and bridges around Paris. She appeared to be not more than seventeen years old." Drunk With Battle Joy. To the Paris Matin's correspondent at Chartres a colonial Infantryman, wounded at Cbarlerol, told bis ex periences in tbe battle. "We marched with our African com rades against the Prussian guurd," he said. "We advanced In bounds amid the humming of bullets, using every bit of cover we could. We felt Intoxi cated with the Joy of battle. "I couldn't say how long the action lasted. All I remember is that we fired our last shot within fifty yards tit the enemy. Then it was the pitiless thrust of cold steel, it would have given us the victory, for. however in trepid and steady are the troops we Unlit nguinst, there are no soldiers in the world able to resist the Turkos' bayonet charge." Jews Brave Fighters. A corporal and two privates of the Black Watch, one of the four high land regiments, all wounded, arriving in London from the front, were sur rounded by a crowd nnd cheered In the west end. The corporal, telling how his realment fought, suld: "All around us were the dead and dying. Every now ami then the Ger- i man shells burst, and we popporori . away at 'em we sung 'lioumln' in tho Gkuimlu" and the 'Lass o' KllUekran klo.' " Somebody lu the crowd asked, "What were- the Jews doing?" The highbinder replied: "Their duty. We had three with us, and bonnier and braver hula 1 don't wish to see. They fought Just splen didly." "Amerikanisher Roast Beef." William Parker of St Louis, who ar rived In Loudon from Rouninnln, told of Interesting thing he bad witnessed I on his Journey, lie wild: "When we got to Breslau the mining ' of the town approaches was going on, Hiid I had a good look at it They were digging trenches about three miles outside Breslau and burying hor rible looking bomlm eleven Inches lu din meter, row after row, as far as I could see. They seemed to fear a Rus sian attack. "From Breslau we had a slow but not uncomfortable trip to Itorlln. German oltlcera who spoke euough 'American to make themselves understood saw to It that we got coffee aud food at sta tions along the way. "You must know that "American is now officially recognised as a language. Shnts up everywhere say 'American Spoken Here. The bill of fare no long er reads 'English roast beef,' but 'Amerlkanlscher roast beef." So all along the Hue It's all American now, not English.' Magio of a German Hair Cut. n. B. Elgin. Joseph B. Wlngsbury and James B. Leslie, all residents of Washington, after being arrested ev ery day in Nuremberg because of their foreign appearance, had tbelr balr clip ped and ruined small mustaches ac cording to the most approved German fashion. "We were all arrested, as nearly as I can remember, every day for the first four days," said one of the party, "and each day it was for something different If we stopped a street car and talked English they bad us. One of us who did not know a word of German was copying a steamship ad vertisement concerning sailing dates one day on the street, thinking to get the Information In German and get It translated at our hotel. "That move 'fixed' him, and sol dier with bayonet and revolver escort ed him to headquarters. He couldn't make himself understood and things looked rather blue for a time, but a young German, who bad lived in Tam pa, Fla., spotted his high crowned American bat, gained entrance to tbe room and got him off. "We finally decided to do as most young Germans do, probably because they are all going to war, and bave our beads clipped close and raise mus taches. Arrests were not so fequent then." Saves Women by a Base. H. H. Paneck of New York, who re turned on the steamship St Paul as a steerage passenger, told bow he got twenty women out of Paris by a rnae. The women had gathered from the In terior of France and were anxious to get to England, but found the trains of cattle cars crowded. "I told one young woman to faint," said Mr. Paneck. "and she did It well. Those aboard the trams rushed out to see tbe cause of the trouble, and by a prearrangement the other nineteen made for the places left vacant, while I carried the fainting woman aboard In my arms." "Woman" 8py Fooled GirL Miss Diana Leverlck of New Tork, who arrived In Boston from England on the Cunard liner Franconia, told bow she became acquainted with a German "woman" while on board a Mediterranean boat bound for London who proved to to a German male spy In disguise and who later was shot "Among the passengers was a re fined middle aged German woman who gave the name of Nlederhaus," she said. "She bore every evidence of good breeding and made herself very agree able to all of us. I became very much attached to ber. She was so pleasant and affable that certain peculiarities of ber gait and face were unnoticed. Her bands and feet seemed a trifle large, but I liked ber so well that I could see nothing strange about her, al though some of the other passengers began to comment upon ber. "On the morning of our arrival In London a messenger boy came aboard crying out 'Telegram for Mrs. Nleder haus.' The woman did not answer. Finally came an official and a squad of soldiers, and she was led away to ber cabin. We were amazed when sol diers locked themselves in with her until we learned that she was really a male spy. 1 read about ber In tbe London Times next day, the paper de scribing bow 'she' was sbot by the sol diers." Proud He Was Shot. Among the stories of the French wounded Is one told of an Algerian rifleman who wns taken to Noisy-le-Sec. He had a bullet in bis head and insisted that surgeons operate on hlin Immediately. Finally a surgeon took him to a drug store and extracted the missile. Thou without waiting for the wound to be dressed the Algerian grabbed the bullet and held It out proudly so that those about him could see it WATCH THIS PAPER FOR THE Canaries to Watch For Aeroplanes. The newspaper La Llberte of Paris declares that cage birds, especially ca naries, never fall to signal the pres ence of an airship or an aeroplane by giving a cry of surprise. The paper suggests that they should be used as watch birds. TRUTH ABOUT PROHIBITION Here is the exact Issue that confronts you The prohibitionists ask you to adopt an amend ment to the State Constitution to prohibit tho manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, except for medical, mechanical and sacra mental uses. The adoption of this amendment means the entire wiping out of tho present splendid home rule and local option laws. Thereafter the regulation nnd control of the liquor traffic in Oregon icould pan from citiea and towns and be retained exclusively by the state. ' Note corcfully there la no mention ol prohibiting "dietrlbu lion," "trantportatlnn" or "' ol alcoholic beverages. Only Kit maniifarfure and tale. IHttribution, trannpor' tat ion and u Intentionally were left out by the prunlM tlonhts. Shipment ol tluunra Into the Hate, or through the tnte, or drinking ol liquors within the late would not be prohibited by the amendment. Washington, Idaho nd California naturally would immedi ately begin shipping liquor Into Oregon and throughout Oregon. The saloon, where It now eiti, would merely have given aw;iv to the "Mind piuaer." "bmitleiig-r" and "moonehiner.'1 All cities and lowtu now either wet or dry would be ut the mercy of the ttat potie authoritte and ttat law maker. Present "dry" cities and towns would renli.e that they had come nearer to voting themselves "uW'than they now are under the splendid home rule and local option laws. If the atnte authorities were derelict or failed to enforce the law, si they are In Kansas and Maine, the cities and town would realire that they had voted atvau their present direct control and regulation of tho liquor truffle. These articles will show later that kanvu and Maine authorities art Hrrtlict and do fail to enforce the law. To undo the mistake Oregon would have to repeal a conntltutional amendment and not a mere law s very difficult undertaking. Deceit snd per jury in securing liquor illegally would have been substituted for what today Is a iteadily improving, healthier public opinion regarding true temperance, and trut temperance would have been done an irreparable injury requiring many year to recover from. Kansas la pointed lo by prohibitionists as the model prohibi tion ttat.. They want Oregon to become a Kansas. Watch these articles with a fair, open mind and learn what thirty three year of prohibition law has done for Kansas without prohibiting or advancing true temperance. All figures will be taken from latest United States Government Reports N. "..Prohibitionists are spreading the opinion that, If the proposed amendment Is defeated, the present dry towns and cities will become wet again. This POSITIVELY IS NOT SO. The present home rule snd local option laws would remain 'it at they now are.
