OF FOE CHECKED Ghent Reported Unable to Furnish feuppl of Food Demanded by Cap tors, Who Expect to Victual Where Harvest Is Good. LONDON. Sept. 12. A Reuter dis patch from Antwerp gives the follow ing official announcement issued today by the Belgian government: "The provinces of Antwerp and Lam- burg and almost the whole of Eastern Flanders are now free of the enemy. Our troops have reoccupied Termonde. The last engagement occurred yester day in the vicinity of Termonde, cost ing the Germans serfous losses. "A German column from Melle (four miles southeast of Ghent) attempted In the night to return northward. Find ing itself checked at Eenane Heights, It turned again southward. "The operations undertaken by our Held army against the German forces masking the fortified position at Ant werp, the first result of which was the capture of Aerschot, were continued today with method and with success. Our army advanced continually and in flicted important losses on the Ger mans. The work of our new field funs was decisive." The Daily Chronicle's Ghent corre spondent says: "The German army Is in dire straits tor lack of food. Ghent has been un able to furnish the supply of foodstuffs demanded by the Germans, who are now pushing a column of from 40,000 to 60.000 men toward Coutrai, in West Flanders. "Evidently the Germans expect to victual in the region of Oudenarde, where the harvest has been exception ally good." EVIDEXCE OF RETREAT SEEN British In Leading Role in Opposi tion to General Von Kluck. LONDON. Sept. 11. The Reuter Lagny (France) correspondent, in a dispatch sent Thursday says: "A trip along the valley of the Marne today brought evidence of the reality of the German retreat. "On Sunday the British and Germans Were at grips east of this place. Since then the Teuton has been driven stead ily back beyond the Trilport and Crecy-en-Brle line, where the hardest fight ing occurred beyond Meaux, where the Germans now are. In this movement of General von Kluck's army rearward along the Marne Valley the British army has played a leading role. 'General French's army advanced to meet the German Emperor's hosts with what must have been forced marches from their temporary base to the southeast of Paris. The whole British army, except cavalry, passed through Lagny. and the incoming troops were ao wearied that many of them at the first opportunity lay down in the dust and slept where they were. The British artillery did notable work in those days, according to the French military surgeons who were stationed at Lagny. At points near here the bodies of slain Germans who fell before the British gunners still litter the ground, and the grim crop must be still heavier on the soil fur ther up the valley, where the fighting was more desperate. "As far as possible the bodies are burled at night, each side attending to its dwii fallen. x Sanguinary Incidents are plentiful In the week of fighting to the south of the Marne. In an engagement not far from here our men captured 30 Germans who had given up their arms and were standing under guard, when, encouraged by a sudden forward ef fort on the German front, they made a dash for their rifles. They were cut down by a volley from the British guards' guns before they could roach their weapons. "Close to Meaux the Germans seem to have stayed their retreat last night and even to have made a slight ad vance. It was apparently merely a rearguard covering movement. "All along the valley the confidence of the people has been restored and the people are returning to their abandoned homes. The British army no longer forms the left wing of the allies. On its left ts a French army one of seven which are now in the field." SERBS CAPTURE SEMLIN (Continued From First Page.) a dispatch received here today by the Servian Minister. Attack Surprises Auatrlans. "Several Servian divisions," the dis patch said, "camped In the hills extend ing from Topchlder to Resnik, occupy ing all the heights about Mount Avala. The Austrian garrison In Semlin did not suspect the presence of the Servi ans, and continued the bombardment of Belgrade daily until the Servians sur prised them. "The audacity of the Servian move ment was extraordinary, as, in order to reach Semlin, the Servians were com pelled to transport heavy artillery across the Save and Danube rivers on pontoons built during the night" AUSTRIAN'S RETURN TO ATTACK Six Hundred Thousand Russians En Caged in Nine Pays' Battle. LONDON. Sept. 11. The following official German statement was received here tonight from Berlin by the -tar-conl Wireless Telegraph Company: "In the eastern theatc- of the war the battle has been recommenced, and the Atistrians have assumed the of fensive in the region of Lemberg. 'During the nine days' fighting it Is estimated the ISusstans have engaged isu.WO infantry, 40,000 cavalry, liOO machine guns and ?0Do field guns.'' In a dispatch from Copenhagen the correspondent of the Reuter Telegram Company says that General von Beneckendorff und von Hlndenburgr has defeated the left flank of the Russian army In East Prussia with his eastern army, and thereby opened the way for an attack on ihe enemy's rear. The Russians are said to have aban doned their resistance and to be in full retreat, with the German eastern army pursuing them in a northeasterly direction toward Memel. Dispatches from Petrograd say: ""German troops which have been transported from the west have con centrated along the banks of the P.lver Alle and are now marching in an east wardly direction and crossing the Masurle lakes. The Russian advance guard is retreating to the east "It is announced here that Russian troops hold the Austrian towns of Suczawa and Hatna. situated 50 nines south of Czernowitz, the capital of the Austrian province of Bukowina." There are indications that the re ported extremity of the Austrian forces In Galicia Is exaggerated. The Rus sians apparently have halted their at tack either because of exhaustion or because the Austrian and German forces were found to be unexpectedly strong. AUSTRIAN CLAIMS REITERATED Consul-General Denies Russian Re ports ot Victories. NEW YORK, Sept 11. Dr. Alexan der de Huber, Austro-Hungarian Consul-General here, issued a statement tonight in elaboration of and comment ing on the wireless message from Count von Berchtold, the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Secretary, given out last night by Ambassador Dumba at Manchester, Mass. Count von BerchtoWs message de nied Russian statements claiming vic tories by that country's armies over Austria at Lemberg. and elsewhere. Consul-General de Huber's statement reads: Lemberg, the capital of Galicia, which has been evacuated by the Aus trian troops, has never been fortified. "Neither has' Mikolajow ever been a fortress. Mikolajow and Nikolajow, which have been reported to be taken by the Russians, are one and the same town, with the difference that one is the Russian name and the other the Polish name. The town has no fortifi cations. "There is no Idea or evacuating Cra cow. Cracow is an Austrian fortress and lies about 160 miles behind the actual Austrian fighting line, which extends at the present time from Lub lin in Russian Poland southward to Rawa Ruska and Grodsk. "At the present time the Austro Hungarian forces occupy one-third of Russian Poland, and the cities of Kielce, Radom, Lodz, Piotrkow, Czes tochowa are occupied by the Austrian troops. "At the present time there are about 25,000 Russian and 5000 Servian pris oners In Austro-Hungary. "All stories brought into circulation by English and French reports about internal troubles in Austro-Hungary and disloyalty of the Slavic population are mere inventions. v "Polish military societies. which have been placed under the military status of the Austrian government, went Into the field under command of the Polish Generals Baczynski and Count Sharbek. Some of these mili tary organizations of Poles in Galicia are generally known under the name of Sokols. "AH reports regarding shortage of food in Austro-Hungary are ridiculous, as Austro-Hungary is a country which in time of peace exports surplus food stuffs in great quantity and therefore is amply provided with all necessities of war." AUSTRIAN'S LOSE 2 POSITIONS Russia Reports German Advance Near Maznr Lake. WASHINGTON. Sept. 11. "The forti fied position of the Austrians at Opolie and Turobin (villages lying between Lublin and the San River) has been taken by our troops," says a cable to night to the Russian embassy here from its Foreign Office. "On September 10, in the pursuit which followed our success, some of our columns in one day covered a dis tance of 20 miles, fighting all the way. Our cavalry is in the rear of the ene my. Tomasczow has been taken by our troops after a stubborn battle. "Serious fighting continues along the line from Rawa Ruska to the River Dniester. "On the East Prussian front the Ger mans continue to advance. Their main effort seems to be directed toward the region of the Mazur Lake. Near Myshinetz and Horjele our troops have repulsed the Germans, Indicting , on them heavy losses." The two last named positions are on the East Russo-Prussian frontier, southeast of Ortlesburg.

Belgium, to Reuter's Telegram Company says: "A severe engagement took place yesterday in the neighborhood of Grembergen and Termonde, Belgium. The Germans beat a hasty retreat, leaving 30 prisoneres behind. Before departing from Termonde, the Ger mans sacked and destroyed the town.

WOMAN, DESTITUTE, AIDED Mrs. Johanna Costello Gets $600 From City for Death of Son. Information received by members of the City Commission that Mrs. Johanna Costello, mother of Maurice Costello, who was killed about two years ago by the police-patrol wagon, is in des titute circumstances, caused the pas sage of an ordinance giving Mrs. Cos tello $600 in settlement of damages claimed by the aged mother for the death of her son. The money is to be paid in installments of 25 a month. This brings to a close efforts on the part of various people to get re lief for Mrs. Costello ever since the accident occurred, before the old. City Council an attempt was made to give her $7500, but this failed. Later the amount was cut to $500, and this also failed. Later the Council refused to give her anything and no legal action has been brought because the city is ex empt from liability In accident cases of this kind. It was considered by the present Council that the city has a moral obligation in such cases. Mr. Costello was struck and killed by the patrol wagon as he alighted from a car on the East Side. Th mother was dependent upon him for support. ST. JOHNS MAN IS DROWNED Inquest to Be Held Today Over Body of Clyde Llndley.

BELGIANSBRINGPROTEST SUFFERING OF PEOPLE DESCRIBED AS HEARTBREAKING. Commission Arrives In United States With Stories of Atrocities Charged to Invaders. NEW YORK, Sept. 11. A partial list of the alleged German atrocities in Bel gium, against which the Belgian King has sent a protest to President Wilson, was made public today by Count Louis d Lichtervelte, secretary of the Bel gian commission bearing the protest. The commission reached this city today on its way to Washington. When the commission learned of President Wilson's departure for the Summer capital, it first decided to post pone its trip, but later in the day Count de Lichtervelde said the commission might leave for Washington tomorrow. Minister Havenlth had informed the commission, he said, that Secretary Bryan would meet the commission and exttAd official courtesies until the Prefcpnt returned from Cornish. "TrTe sufferings of the Belgian peo ple are beyond all Imagination," said Count de Lichtervelde. "In the large, they are appalling; in detail, they are heartbreaking and sickening. There has not been and hardly can be an over statement of their suffering-, physical and mental. "W sincerely believe that the Amer ican people will characteristically do Its share in supplying relief for these thousands of our people who are with out food and shelter and who, so far as they can now see, have no cause for hope." The commission spent most of the day in a secluded room at an uptown hotel, transacting "important private business." GERMAN CHARGE DENIED POI.VCARE TELLS WILSON FRENCH USED NO DUM-DUM S. Teutons Countercharged With Vio lating La iv of Nations Dally Since War Besan. BORDEAUX, Sept. 11. President Poincare today cabled President TV il son as follows: ' "Mr. President; 1 am informed that the German government has sought to surprise your excellency's good faith by alleging that dum-dum balls are manufactured in the French state fac tory and used by our soldiers. This calumny is but an audacious attempt to. reverse roles. "Germany has, since the beginning of the war. used dum-dum bullets and violated dally the law of nations. On August 18 and several times since we have had occasion to bring these acta to the notice of your excellency and the powers signatory to The Hague convention."

Temporary Buildings for Alameda and Beaumont Likely Berkeley Mat ter Is Delayed. Delegations from the Alameda Park, Beaumont and Berkeley districts ap peared before the School Board at its special meeting Thursday to make de mands that extra school facilities be provided in those localities. A commit tee of the board gave an Informal re port, which did not meet with the favor of the delegations. The committee recommended that a portable school be erected on East Thirty-ninth and Fremont streets to serve both the Alameda Park and Beau mont districts and that the overflow of the Berkeley pupils, that could not be accommodated at the Eastmoreland school, should be taken care of in the vacant Wlllsburg building, 12 blocks distant. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that temporary buildings should be erected to serve the Alameda and Beau mont districts separately. "There are going to be some broken hearts in Portland this Fall, but we are determined to fill up about 55 or 60 vacant rooms before we build any new structures." said Director Sommer. Final disposition of the committee recommendation was deferred by the board waiting a further investigation of the respective situations. Bids were opened by Clerk Thomas for the construction of the new school building- In Fulton Park. T. J. Newbill, principal of the Ar leta school, submitted his resignation, which was accepted. Mr. Newbill has been elected to the faculty of Wash ington State College at Pullman. Six other resignations were also accepted.

NAVY INSISTSON CENSORS Daniels Will Not Recede From His Stand Even in Face of Protest. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. Secretary Daniels had before him today a formal protest against Navy censors In Mar coni wireless telegraph stations. Through its counsel the company con tends that the Navy Department has no jurisdiction or authority over its op erations. The company renews a former re quest to know under what authority Secretary Daniels has acted In placing censors. It became apparent that the Navy Department will not recede from the position it has taken to censor all mes sages. No one would express an opin ion whether, if the Marconi Company took the case to the courts, as It inti mates It will, the Slasconset station would be closed pending the adjudica tion of the respective rights of the Government and the company. Navy Department officials disagree entirely with the view that there was no violation of neutrality in the trans Ion of a message from the Suffolk asking for supplies and provisions. The message was received anu torwarueu to Now York In the absence of the Navy censor. PEASANT POISONS ENEMY Russian Troopers Meet Deuth li Kast Prussian VWagii. PETROGRAD (via London), Sept. li.
