The Associated Press has received by wireless from Berlin a message, which follows. It wa3 sent from Aix la Chapelle to Ber lin for transmission. The authors, all of whom are well-known American newspapermen, were originally as signed to Brussels, and when that city was taken they were returned to Aix la Chapelle, from which city they have been endeavoring to reach Jjondon, Dut without success. The telegram was partly mutilated by Interference and certain words are missing, but the text here given is clearly that intended by the authors: - "til spirit we unite in rendering (sic) German atrocities groundless as far as we are able to learn. I. ark of Provocation Unconfirmed. "After spending two weeks with and accompanying the troops upward of 100 miles we are unable to report a single Instance unprovoked. We are also un able to confirm rumors of mistreat ment of prisoners or of non-combatants with the German columns. This is true of Louvaln, Brussels. Luneville and Nancy while in Prussian hands. We visited Chateau Soldre. Sambre and Beaumont without substantiating a single wanton brutality. Numerous in vestigated rumors proved groundless. Everywhere we have seen Germans paying for purchases and respecting property rights as well as according civilians every consideration. Direct Evidence Lacking. "After the battle of Biass (probably Barse). a suburb of Namur, we found Belgian women and children moving comfortably about. The day after the Germans had captured the town in Merbes Chateau we found one citizen killed, but were unable to confirm lack of provocation. Refugees with stories of atrocities were unable to supply di rect evidence. Belgians in the Sambre Valley discounted reports of cruelty in the surrounding countries. The discip line of the German soldier is excellent, as we observed. "To the truth of these statements we pledge our professional and personal word. "ROGER LEWIS. "The Associated Press. "IRVIN S.

RAINEY PICTURES NEW MOVIES OF WILD ANIMALS AT annua are startling. Series Taken by Famous Hunter Made Marvelous by Daring Closeness. Lion Chase Feature. Not the Rainey hunt pictures that have been shown before in Portland, but an entirely new and vastly more sensational series is being exhibited at the Heilig this week. This is the 1914 series. Each year for two years Paul J. Rainey left his 4000-acre ranch in Southern Africa and went into the wilds to take motion pictures of people and animals and their customs. At present he is away on, his third hunt. Those who have viewed both series of pictures are, indeed, fortunate, since either set is of itself of wonderful edu cational and artistic worth. The present picturing goes several steps further than its predecessors, beginning with new and fascinating views of the fa mous water holes of the desert. Un gainly giraffes, herds of zebras in Sing Sing stripes, wilde-beests. harte-beests, aurochs. Mr. and Mrs. and all the little aurochs, wart hogs, whole families of elephants, 57 varieties of deer, gazelles, baboons In big bands carrying their babies on their backs all fight on the tllm at tho water hole and win or lose, according to the laws of the jungle. One unusual feature is the close range of the pictures to the spectator, an art , that allows a perfect acquaintance with the habits and appearance of every ani mal shown. Views of wild buffalo and a cheetah hunt, differing in every essen tial from the other picturing of the hunt of a leopard are shown. All the pictures naturally have been taken under most vexing problems of light and heat conditions, not forget ting attending dangers of attack by the wild animals. A lion hunt showing the huge monarch of the jungle in every stage of the exciting game is only one of the big features. From the gather ing of vultures, eagles and the marabou stork about the carcass of a buck slain by the lion, the putting of the lions on the scent, the long chase over the veldt to the final facing of the lion at bay and its sensational charge at the hunt ers, the hunt is shown in entirety. The last moment of this enactment is tre mendously dramatic and tragic. The huge lion, infuriated, charges from the bush straight into the mouth of the camera, and is brought down by a shot at close range. Just like peering out of a great window on to his death struggles a few feet away in the grass is the effect of this picture. Much of pathos is mingled with the fascination of looking on in this great hunt of a man-eater. One of the particularly interesting parts of the picture, that of the lives and customs of the Kikuyu warriors, turns out to have a comedy value that sends the audience into gales of mirth. This is the dance and promenade of would-be brides and their wooing. A native festival at corn-threshing time and a dance that out-tangos any tango, are a couple of the diverting scenes. The pictures are surely interesting, novel and instructive in every essential. The series will Continue all week at the Heilig with matinees and evening : performances. Girls Bring name Deer. Carrying home an unexpected prize, a mountain deer, with them. Miss Clara Miller and Miss Myrtle Bates, of 448 Kast Seventh street, Portland, returned yesterday Vrom a hiking trip to Bonne ville and vicinity. While climbing the cliffs along Tanner's Creek the two girls encountered a mountain deer. Be coming frightened, the deer fell over the cliff for a distance of 100 feet breaking its back. With the aid of a mountaineer they cut up the deer ami brought part of it home with them. : . fj . if ' ! I. " ' . I , , , M1 M I II I Photo Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.

"Whether this change of plan by the Germans is voluntary or whether it has been forced on them by the strategic situation and the great strength of the allied armies in their front will be re vealed by the course of events. Hritish Riflemen Praised. "There is no doubt whatever that our men have established a personal ascendency over the Germans and that they are conscious of the Tact that with anything like even numbers the result would not be doubtful. The shooting of the German infantry is npor, while the British rifle fire has devastated every column of attack that has presented itself. "Their superior training and intelli gence have enabled the British soldiers to use the open formation with effect and thus cope with the vast numbers employed by the enemy. The cavalry, who have even greater opportunities for displaying personal prowess and address, have definitely established their superiority. Field Marshal Sir John Frenchs report dwells on the marked superiority of the British troops of every arm of the service." "The cavalry," he says, "do as they like with the enemy until they are con fronted with twice their numbers. The German patrols simply fly before our horsemen. The German troops will not face our infantry fire. As regards the artillesy. they never have been op posed by less than three or four times their numbers. "The following incidents have been mentioned. In the action at Le Cha teau, on August 26, all the officers and men of the British batteries had been killed or wounded with the exception of one subaltern and two gunners. These continued to serve one gun and kept a sound raking fire and came out unharmed from the battlefield. Germans Aid Brltisb Wounded. "On another occasion a portion of a supply column was cut off by a detach ment of German cavalry. The officer in charge was summoned to surrender. He refused, and, starting the motor off at full speed, dashed safely through, losing only two lorrlers. "It is noted-that in a rear-guard ac tion of the Guards Brigade on Septem ber 1, the Germans were seen giving assistance to our wounded. "The weather has been very hot, with an almost tropical su, which has made long marches trying to the soldiers. In spite of this, they look well and hardy, and the horses, in consequence of the amount of hay and oat in the fields, are in excellent condition. "In short, it may be said that the war. so far as it has advanced, has I given most promising opportunities of arms and of achieving notable and sub stantial successes. But we must have more men so as to operate on a scale nronortionate to the strength ami power of the empire." FORCES ENGAGE NEAR PARIS German Right Wing Appears With Strong Covering Force. PARIS. Sept. 6. An official com munication issued today says: "The advance lines of the lines for i the defense of Paris came in contact I yesterday with the right wing of the ' Germans, who appeared in a covering ! movement in strong force on our right, j advancing toward the southeast. A short engagement resulted to the ad i vantage of the allies." The police surprised three indivldu I als who were exchanging illuminated 'L'" I, ..stern quarter of Paris). They found in a vacant house in Bellevue a man who was formerly an interpreter In a Paris hotel. In his pocket was an order for safe conduct Issued to him by the Ger man staff in Belgium. The two other spies who were operating .-with this man escaped. A Havas Agency dispatch from Petrograd says the official Journal there publishes a long list of alleged cruelties committed by Germans on Russians who were in Germany when war was declared. Following the list, this iB added: "After the communication of these facts public opinion in all civilized countries will not fail to condemn Ger many's behavior, which recalls 'the darkest period of the Middle Ages." GERMAN'S CONTINUING yOTJs'H London Reports Enlistment of Di vision and Hair Each ttay. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. Dispatches to the French embassy today from Bor deaux indicate the German forces in four divisions are proceeding in a turn ing movement toward the south, rather than pushing forward to Paris. The first army, dispatches say, reached La Ferte and Montmlral; the second reached Chantilly and continued southward. Rheims has been occupied by the third army and the fourth also moved south ward. The British embassy today made pub lic a review by the London foreign of fice of the first month of the war, in which it is declared the allies have un challenged command of the seas, their fighting strength in France is unim paired, Russian armies are about to enter Central Germany and successes have come to the allies in the colonies. "Fighting continues in Lorraine with decisive results," the dispatch added. "The situation as to morale in Paris is satisfactory. Have the army needed for the defense of the capital." The foreign office says enlistments are going forward in Great Britain at the rate of a division and a half a day. Few unemployed are reported and the financial situation is pronounced satis factory. The statement continues that as a re sult of the allies' naval supremacy, "more than 300,000 trdops have been able to cross the sea in different parts of the world without the loss of man." That includes the movement of British forces to the Continent and of colonial expeditions to German colonies in Africa and the Pacffic and the move ment of French troops from Algeria to France. GERMAN FORCES ARE DIVIDED Turning Movement to South, Rather Than on Paris, Reported. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. The Ger mans have divided their forces into at least four armies and are making a turning movement to the South rather than pushing towards Paris, according to a message received at the French Embassy today from Bordeaux. It reads: "The Germans have pushed their op erations on our left wing through thet Marne Valley and they seem to intend to continue such operations rather than to push on to Paris. "Their first army reached La Ferte and Montmlrail on the 5th; the second, Chantilly, and continues southward. Rheims has been occupied by the third and the fourth also moves southward. "Fighting continues in Lorraine without decisive results. The situation as to material and the morale In Paris Is satisfactory. Have the army needed for the defense of the capital." LOADED LINER HITS MINE ALL BUT 20 RUSSIAN REFUGEES OF 600 ARE RESCUED, 1 North Sea Trawler Saves Greater Part of Passengers and Crew and Lands 200 In England. LONDON, Sept. 6. The Wilson pas senger liner Runo, with 600 passengers on board, struck a mine in the North Sea and was sunk yesterday. All of the crew and passengers, with the ex ception of about 20 Russian refugees, were saved. The Runo sailed from Hull for Archangel yesterday and fouled the mine when about 40 miles off Shields at 4:35 o'clock. The rescues were made by a fishing trawler, a member of the crew of which said he heard a report and saw the Runo rise In the water, then settle by the head until the fore part of the ship was awash. She remained in this position long enough to enable her small boats and the trawlers to pick up tlfe survivors, 200 of whom We later landed at Hull. The fishing trawler Prince Victor picked up 22 persons who were clinging to a capsized boat. The trawler's crew saw three others drowned. The mate of the Prince Victor s lowered over the side of the fisherman by lines and thus helped In the work of rescue. The American Consul, John Ray, bound for Odessa, was among the res cued, but was injured. Man Hurt By Cars Dies. Fred Dlmmitt, 37 years old, was fa tally Injured whiie attempting to board an incoming Mount Scott car at Grand and Hawthorne avenues late Saturday night. He died at 5:30 o'clock yester day morning. - Dlmmitt was conscious just before his death. The only statement he made was, "They threw me off." He repeated this several times.

(Continued From First Page.) adds, "drove the Austrians back to ward Cianitza. wherb he made a tri umphant entry. The town had been pil laged and portions of.it were in flames. "Sanguinary fighting continues. The Montenegrins are engaging a superior number of Austrians and endeavoring to occupy Grahovo." A dispatch from Vienna says the de feat at Lemberg was a rout of the whole Austrian army operating in Ga licia and that the only hope now is in the German contingent, which i congesting all the railway lines toward the northeastern frontier. It is asserted that the Austrian general staff is urg ing the Germans todiepatch some of their 420-mtlimeter guns to Galicia. Defeat Declared Stimulus. Official reports from Petrograd say- that although the defeat of the Rus sians at Tannenberg was regrettable, it is serving only to stimulate the fer vor of the people, the army and the government to multiply their efforts for final success, which the whole na tion considers inevitable, as the Ger mans in making what was perhaps the most strenuous attempt disrupted only one-twentieth of the Russian army. Since the war began the government has not permitted the operation of wireless telegraph apparatus. It has been suspected, however, that some wireless operators were at work and a search revealed an outfit on the roof of a boarding-house rrequented by for eigners, Two students who had erected the plant were arrested. RuMian Staff Reports Advance. According to a report Issued by the Russian general staff at Petrograd, the offensive is maintained on the Austrian line. The report says: "Along the whole of the Austrian line the Russian troops on September 4 proceeded with an energetic offen sive movement. The Austrian center suffered most from the Russian attack. In the region of West Krasnystaw the Austrian Forty-fifth Regiment of in fantry, which had been completely sur rounded, was forced to a man to sur render, together with its commanding officer and 44 officers, in all 1600 men. ''The German division which was marching to help the Austriaris was at tacked on the left bank of the Vistula River. Russian troops have occupied the Stryj River region. "The Russian cavalry already is among the passes of the Carpathian Mountains. On the East Prussian front we have had nothing but slight skir mishes which are without signif icance." ' Another official communication is sued under date of September 4 says: "The Russians have begun a gen eral offensive movement between the Vistula and Bug Rivers. The Aus trians did not expect a vigorous of fensive maneuver at Lemberg and hoped to resist it. Year's Provisions Seised. The Russians estimate that the; seized a year's provisions there. 'The Galician prisoners at Lemberg were set at liberty. The Czechs have refused to march against the Slavs. "Wounded have returned to Petro grad. The Germans in their fighting rely mainly on artillery and give way before bayonet attacks." The correspondent of the Daily Maii at Milan learns through Bucharest that the Russians are advancing southward. after having occupied Czernowitz with out resistance. It is said that the in habitants of Bukowina, in which dis trict Czernowitz is situated, joined with the Russians. This, the correspondent says, is regarded as the first sign of dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Line in East Prussia Defined. The Russian embassy at London has issued the following official statement: "At the present moment the Russian front occupies the following position in East Prussia. In the north we occupy Tilsit (60 miles northeast of Koenigs berg). "In the south we have approached the strongly fortified line of the River Deime. On the southern bank of the River Pregel our lines go through Tapiau, Allenburg, Gerdauen and Ang erburg. Cavalry detachments from this line have destroyed the stations at Korschen and Rastenburg. Most oi the rolling stock was destroyed at the lat ter place. "The line of the Mazur Lakes is still in the hands of the enemy. To the west of these lakes the Russian front ex tends from Johannisburg to Mlawa and Neshawa. On the left bank of the Vis tula, near Neshawa, an armored Ger man train appeared and bomnarded the town. It then left for Alexandrowo on August 31. "A further line runs through Kolo, Sjeradz, Elotrkow and Radom (all Rus sian towns) on the Vistula. Near Ra dom are concentrated fairly strong forces of the enemy. On August 31 they attempted an advance on "Ivan gorod, but failed. "On the Galician frontier the rout of the Austrians becomes increasingly manifest. During our further advance into Galicia 31 more guns were cap tured. Our reverse of August 30 and 31 was exclusively of a local character, without really important significance. The German reports concerning the number of prisoners and the importance of the German success have been enormously exaggerated. "The feeling in Russia is absolutely calm and deeply patriotic. Rumors of outbreaks and disorders In different provinces are false." BOOTY FROM LEMBCRG IS RICH Petrograd Reiports Second Austrian Army Now Has No War Value. PETROGRAD, Sept. 6.-i(Speclal.) Prisoners, the number of which Is not even yet known, guns, including mi trailleuses, the number of which now is stated officially as 20,000, and 30, 000,000 days' rations are only a part of the booty of Lembucs and Halisc. More valuable than all these is the progress marked by this victory, which as the commander-in-chief reports has deprived the second Austrian army ot all warlike value. The Russians entered Lemburg while the Austrians were still in flight. In view of the position of the town and Its military importance, the Russian staff had made preparations for its bombardment and possibly a siege. In their panic the Austrians have left the eround at certain places strewn wim abandoned articles of equipment Clothes, rifles, ammunition and even officers' swords had been thrown away. The wounded were abandoned on the field -of battle and the hospitals and houses of the town are full of them. Ambulances were used as vehicles to escape. The Russian medical service and Red Cross were heavily overtaxed with the care of the Austrain wounded. The guarding of -the prisoners alone Involves the use of several battalions of troops. Fortunately. I4Vttturg was one of the main depots of stores, and there is no scarcity either of food or medical ma terial. The number of guns captured will probably have to be revised, but the figure is still enormous and swol len by the fact that there were big re serves of them in the town. The Austrian second army, or what rmalns of it, is reported to be fortify ing Zaroslav, 60 miles to the west, but though the nature of the ground may retard the Russian advance, it is a beaten army. Another stage on the road to Prussia is accomplished and it has reassured the public, which was unable to understand the slowness of the operations on the western frontier. The Russians have now 2.000,000 men actually in the field and the huge ie" surely machine of mobilisation con tinues to grind forth fresh brigades. RUSSIANS CLAIM VICTORIES March Declared to Be Continuing Uninterruptedly Southward. PETROGRAD, via London, Sept 5. An official communication issued in re ply to statements of Berlin and Vienna semi-official news agencies that the Austrians were victorious over the Russians in the districts oi lamosc ano Tyschowszy, says: The Russian official agency is au thorised to declare that the Russian troops, who since August 21 have main, talned an incessant offensive against the enemy in the district between the Vistula and Bug rivers, completely de feated on August 28 the Fifteenth Aus trian division, and that up to Septem ber 4, continuing -their operations in that direction, had captured three flags, 23 guns, 18 machine guns, two aero planes, 150 officers and 12,000 soldiers. "Since September 4, having broken th resistance of the Austrians, our troops have been continuing their of fensive toward the south. "All reports concerning alleged vic tories of General Von Auffenburg near Zamasc and Tyschowszy are willful falsehoods and Intended to lessen the importance of the Russians' success in Galicia. In the direction of Lemberg alone the Russians took rich booty. namely, 70,000 prisoners, more than 300 guns, 30 locomotives, lau irucas numerous convoys of supplies." and 3000 Berlin BRITONS CAPTURED Captives Like Papers Say Tramps, hut Well Fed. COPENHAGEN, "sept- , by way of London. The Berlin papers say that nearly 3000 British prisoners reached Doberitz Tuesday and Wednesday. They occupy five enormous tents, which are surrounded by a wire fence. The men are described as looking like tramps in their tattered uniforms, but quite satisfied with their treatment and food. f July 1st, 1865, we dispensed prescription No. 1; on Satur day night we recorded No. 1,027,483. Cold figures, those, but they speak eloquently of the intelligent, painstaking efforts of nearly half a century joined to personal responsibility and fidelity. We take pride in our store, its varied and complete stock, its well-equipped departments, relating closely as they do to the health and well-being of the commonwealth our patrons but beyond all are we proud of our working force those men and women who toil with us in the service of the public, whose servants we are. We strive to make labor honorable and profitable to maintain high standards in merchandise and service and we point to the steady growth of our business through all these years as evidence that the public understands and responds to our efforts.

The coronation of Pope Benedict XV tobk place today in the Slstine Chapel. The ceremony was imposing la its solemnity. The Slstine Chapel was used for the occasion in order to avoid pomp during the war. The entire pontificate court, members of tho Roman aristocracy and the fam ily of the Pontiff were present. The scene, with Pope Benedict seat ed in the Sedia Gestatoria, preceded by the bearers of the triple crown and Hanked by the bearers of the cele brated feather fans and 60 cardinals in their full vestments, was u striking one.

From the Pauline chapel the pro cession moved to the Slstine chapel, where a mass was said. After the ln dulgentlam, the sub-deacon placed the maniple on the arm of the Pope, who sat down while the cardinals of the diooese of Rome recited the coronation prayer. The Pone then mounted the altar and a cardinal placed the pallium on his shoulders. At this moment Ben edict XV received the last adoration of the cardinals, bishops and abbes. Then he read the Introit, intoned the gloria and resumed his seat on the throne. ALASKASHTpS PROPOSED TWO MORE VESSELS MAY BE FLEET TO FAR NORTH. ON Meeting to Discuss.

THE NERVES AND THEIR NEEDS We do not give much thought to our nervous system when It is working all right but when It goes wrong nature has a way of calling it forcibly to our attention by something that we cannot overlook pain. Try to reach a painful nerve with medicine of any wort and you are con fronted with a fact that every doctor knows, that the only way to resrh tho nerves Is through the blood. You see now why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the great tonic for the blood, are also a great nerve builder. When a nerve becomes Inflamed and painful II Is unless caused by an accident be cause the blood was not giving It the elements of nourishment needed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood, the nerves are strengthened, the In flammation subsides and the psin van ishes. By keeping the blood rich and red by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the danger of nervous breakdown, insomnia, nervous Indigestion and other disorders caused by 111 - nourished nerves Is greatly lessened. In children the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills banishes the fear of St. Vitus' dance. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady, N.
