IIHhrtTT Ue'lnrril Shut In. "The German government's holding Brussels prevents the American Minis ter from communicating with his Gov ernment. Why should the American Government permit the German Am bassador at Washington have free communication with his Government at Berlin? "Could not the United States Join with other neutral nations, such as Italy, Norway. Sweden, Spain, Swit zerland, Holland and the South Amerl can republics, in demanding a cessa tion of the atrocities and "barbarities now being committed by Germany?

EXHAUSTED BRITON'S STUBBOBN" Commander Describes Narrow Es cape From Annihilation. LONDON, Sept. 10. The London Ga zette, issued late last night, contains a dispatch from Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British forces In France, reporting the pro ceedings of his force. A summary of the report follows: The British took position on August 12. the report says, on a line from Conde on the west, through Mons and Bincbe on the east. General French understood that at the most two army corps were In front of the British po sition. At 5 o'clock on the evening of August B3 he received a most unexpected mes sage from Generai Joffre, the French commander-in-chief, that three Ger man army corps were moving "frontily" on the British and that an other corps was engaged in a turning movement from Tournai. General Joffre also stated that the French army on the British right was retiring. As a result of this information he determined to retire to a position which he had previously reconnoitered. ex tending from Maubeuge, west to Jen lain, southeast of Valenciennes. Enemy Tries to Surround. There was a certain amount of fight ing along the whole line of the right. The retirement was carried out suc cessfully throughout the 24th amid continuous fighting. "As the French troops were still re tiring," General French continues. "I had no support except from the fort ress at Maubeuge, and determined at tempts of the enemy to get around my left flank assured me it was his in tention to press me against that place and surround me. I felt not a moment must be lost in retiring to another po sition. "This operation was full of danger and difficulty not only owing to the very superior force in my front, but also the exhaustion of my troops. The retirement recommenced early in the morning of the 25th to a position near Le Chateau. "Although the troops had been or dered to occupy Cambrai, Le Chateau and Landrecies and that position and ground had, during the 25th, been par tially prepared and entrenched, I had grave doubts owing to information I received regarding the accumulating strength of the enemy as to the wisdom of standing there to fight. "Moreover, the retirement of the French troops on my right continued and I determined to make a great ef fort to continue the retreat till I could put a substantial obstacle, such as the Somme River or the Oise Biver, be tween the British and the enemy to af ford the former some opportunity for rest and reorganization. Cavalry Horses Exhausted. "Therefore the corps commanders were ordered to retreat as soon as pos sible to a general line from St. Quentin to Ribmont." General French then describes the march through all that day and until late In the evening, during which time he was incessantly harassed by the enemy, who continued the attack late at night on the exhausted British. Gen eral French continues: "General Sordet, commanding three cavalry divisions, whom I had called to my assistance, though he rendered val uable aid later, was unable to afford any support on the most critical day, the 26th, owing to the exhaustion of his horses. "At daybreak the 26th, it became ap parent that the enemy was throwing the bulk of his strength against the left of our position and the guns of four German army corps being in position against it. General Smith Dorrien re ported that he was unable to retire as ordered. In the face of such an attack It was impossible for me to support General Dorrien, as the first corps at the moment was Incapable of moving. There had been no time to intrench properly, but the troops showed a mag nificent front to the terrible fire. "Finally it became apparent that if complete annihilation was to be avoided a retirement must be attempted, and an order was given to commence it at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. The movement was covered with the most devoted intrepidity and determination by the artillery which had suffered heavily, and the fine work of the cav alry assisted materially In the comple tion of, the most difficult and danger ous operation. Fortunately, the enemy had suffered too heavily to engage in energetic pursuit. General Dorrien Praised. "I cannot close this brief account of this glorious stand of the British with out according deep appreciation to the valuable services of General Smith Dor rien. The saving of tho left wing of the whole army would have been Im possible unless a commander of rare and unusual coolness and determination had be.en present personally to conduct the operation. "The retreat was continued far into the night of the 26th and throughout the two following days, when the troops halted on the line of Noyon, Chauny and La Fere, having thrown off the weight of the enemy's pursuit During these two days I was Indebted to Gen eral Sordet's cavalry division for as sistance in repelling the enemy. Gen eral D'Amade, also from the neighbor hood of Arras, relieved the pressure on the British rear from the enemy's right flank." In concluding. General French pays a tribute to the invaluable service of the army's flying corps. TUITION RISE PUZZLES EFFECT OF DOUBLING OF FEE IS MOOT SUBJECT. Portland Commercial Club Committee Hears Many Complaints From Out-of-Totvn Parents. Will the complaint regarding the doubling of tuition fees for out-of-town hign school students result in the establisnment of the former rate by the Portland Board of Education; in the expansion of the city high school district to include Multnomah County; in the building of more union high schools as advocated by County Super intendent Armstrong, or in the contin uance of the present rates and con ditions? Many interested persons have tele phoned to or interviewed the members of the committee just appointed by the Portland Commercial Club to investi gate the rise in tuition and there ap pears to be much sentiment to the effect that the rate of 80 a year Is too high. The Board of Education, however, maintains that there were good reasons for the advance. J. Fred Larson, of the" Commercial Club committee, said last night that no appointment had yet been made with the Board of Education with re gard to the advanced tuition, as the committee preferred to go into the subject thoroughly before taking it up with the school directors. He said a Portland business man who lives outside the city limits eOmplained yes terday that It would cost him 1240 to send his three children to high school this year, In spite of the fact that he owns property and pays taxes in Port land. He thought it would be as cheap to furnish an apartment in town for the children during the school year. On the other hand, the Board of Ed ucation did not make the increase for arbitrary reasons. The schools are crowded now. there have been com plaints of high tax assessment for school purposes and the trustees be lieve that those paying taxes inside the city are entitled to first consider ation. "We have been severely criticised for the cost of running the Portland school department," said Chairman Manly, of the Board of Education, last night "and the cost of tuition of out-of-town students has been a consider able item. We desire to keep expenses as low as possible and this is but one way in which we are retrenching." It is asserted that $80 a year, in stead of $40, would Just pay the cost of teaching one student In the high school one year. Taking Multnomah County Into the citv high school district has been sug gested as a rented', but may prove impractical. Union high schools throughout the county may solve the problem. PLANS LAID 10 HELP CAUSE OF NEEDY ILL Civic Organizations to Aid Vis iting Nurse Association's Campaign. MEETING CALLED TODAY Meuntj of Making Big Success of V. X. A. Day Xext Monday to Be Discussed at Commercial CIuI Members Sought. To adopt a slogan for Visiting Nurse Association day, next Monday, and to perfect plans for the one-day campaign for membership, a meeting of the gen eral committee of the Visiting Nurse Association, including representatives of Portland's civic organizations, will be held at the Commercial Club at 11:30 o'clock today. This will be the final meeting at which arrangements for Monday's canvass will be discussed. Ministers of Portland will be re quested to make particular mention or the worthy purpose of Visiting Nurse Association day from their pulpits next Sunday. The association was organized to care for the needy sick of this city, no charges being made for the atten tion. Funds are needed to continue the work and it rs hoped to raise this nec essary money Monday by obtaining members for the association for $10, $5 or ?3 each. Pitiful Cases Cited. Information concerning the Visiting Nurse Association may be received by application at the headquarters of the organization at 601 Medical building. The charitable nature of the work of the Visiting Nurse Association is shown in the following statement, issued by the association: "Timely aid means much to the af flicted. Recently a little Bohemian boy suffered an accident through which his leg. became infected from the foot to the groin. His parents spoke little English, not enough to make them selves understood. They were strang ers, had no money to obtain the serv ices of a physician, and did not know where or to whom to apply for aid. The boy was getting worse, his tem perature was high, the infection spreading and the family were in des pair. "Finally someone who knew of the splendid work of the Visiting Nurse Association called their attention to this case. A nurse promptly responded and found the lad almost past hope, due to the lack of care and ignorance of the parents. The nurse asked the assistance of a physician in the neigh borhood and they have taken care of the little fellow, who now is slowly re covering, although he is not entirely out of the woods yet. "Another instance of the work of the Visiting Nurse Association among fore igners Is that of a little Polish girl, 6 years old, who came down with in fantile paralysis last February, , and was attended by one of their nurses. For weeks and weeks they did not know whether she would live or not, but at last she Improved and was able to walk after a fashion. Since her partial recovery : he association has arranged for further treatments with a specialist and hopes are entertained for her ultimate complete recovery, al though this will be a matter of some length of time. "The association knows no creed and attends the afflicted of all religions, making 'humanity' its watchword. It endeavors to teach these newcomers how to take care of themselves in health matters. Woman, 29, Mother of Nine. "One of our problems is that of a tubercular mother. When we first vis ited this case we found her to be in the first stages of tuberculosis, 29 years old, the mother of eight children and another expected, and the husband Im provident. We sent the mother to the State Sanitorium until after the birth of her ninth child, meanwhile placing three of these underfed and ill-nourished little ones in the Frazer Home, three in the Children's Home and the Baby Home took two. The woman has been returned to her home and is still under our care. For the sake of this family of nine we are making every effort to restore the mother to health and ability to look after her large flock."
