FRENCH AIRMAN DROPS FOE Kaiser's Force Makes Repeated At tempts to Break Through Line of Enemy at Khelms Pro longed Action Aid to Allies. ' FROM THE BATTLE FRONT, Sept. JO. The bulk or the allied armies re mained today In the trenches waiting while their artillery exchanged a furi ous cannonade with the strongly placed German batteries. Some brilliant feats of arms were performed at various points on the lines extending along the Oise, the Aisne and Woevre. The seasoned Al gerian troops made a gallant 'capture of another German flag. ' . French Aviator Hero. ' Jules Vedrines, the noted French aviator, was credited with a courage ous fight in midair with a German aviator, whom he brought to earth. The German was daringly reconnoiter ing the position of the allies' when Vedrines ascended. Moving swiftly upward until he was above the German. Vedrines gave chase, and as he skimmed along, fusilladed the air scout with his automatic gun. The German machine was riddled and the aviator killed, both collapsing to the ground within 15 minutes from thei time Vedrines took the air, Vedrines has accomplished a similar feat once before. These incidents, however, are impor tant only for their influence in encour aging the allied troops and do not af fect the result of the great battle, which already has lasted a week and promises to continue for many days longer. Prolonged Action Aid Allies. Military experts here believe that the longer the battle endures the better it will be for the allied armies, who thus will be able to pass strong forces of fresh troops to places where they are needed along the front. Along the western end of the battle line. Rheims has been the object of the greatest attention from the Ger mans, who, time after time, have un successfully attempted to break through the allies' lines, after subjecting the town to an Intense bombardment. It is the Germans' intention, it is under stood, to capture Rheims, which is an important railroad junction, the pos session of which would give them com mand of another road to the north. They, have made an especial mark of the magnificent cathedral, which has been in flames eince yesterday. The allies, meantimes, have made for themselves a strong position on the. right bank of the A lane, where they occupy all the heights. The Germans have taken advantage of the sites of the forts which they intended for the . defence of Rheims, but which were abandoned by the allies when the in vaders made a rapid dash southward from Belgium Hall Adds to Hardships. A heavy hailstorm with a cold wind added today to the hardships of the in trenched troops, who are entirely with out tents, but it did not affect their spirits, which are high. All the com missariat departments of the allies are working splendidly; the men are well fed and clothed and are contented. The German army, when it evacu ated Chalons, left one of its chief sur geons and a corps of nurses in charge of a hospital filled with German and French wounded. The French medi cal officers found the hospital eo well managed and the French wounded so well treated that the German surgeon was left in charge, PASTORS ARE ASSIGNED METHODIST CONFERENCE SENDS LEADERS OUT TO FLOCKS.

GERMANS , WILL ATTACK Berlin Reports Forces of Allies Have Taken Defensive. - BERLIN, via Rotterdam and London, Eept. 20. The following official state xnent was issued by the German head quarters staff last night: - "The situation in the Western cam paign is unchanged along the- entire front. The Franco-British forces have been obliged to take the defensive In entrenched positions, the attacks on which are slow in results. "Preparations for an attack on the fortifications on the line south of Ver dun have been completed. "In Alsace the German troops are in contact along the border with the French troops." The final results of the subscription war loan are not yet known. It is of ticially announced that so far as can be determined now the amount has reached $1,500,000,000. It is known, however, that these figures are not com plete, i According to a letter from the front the French aviator. If- Chevilliard, was captured on September 2. He ap proached too closely to the Germans, whom he mistook for British, and his machine "was shot down by a soldier who recognized Chevilliard, whom he had seen in exhibition flights in Ger many. The airman denied his identity. Chevilliard had as a passenger an offi cer of the general staff, who carried several important maps. The aeroplane was provided with bombs. Neither Chevilliard nor his passenger was wounded. General Steinmetz. possessor of the Iron Cross-since 1870. was killed on September 15. Another officer killed was Commander Count Detlew Rant-zau. JEWISH NEW YEAR HERE HEBREWS RECORD ADVENT OF 54175 UPOJf SUNDAY NIGHT. Fast of Atonement and Festival of the Tabernacles Also Are Ushered la Upon Setting of San. Beginning at sunset last night the year S675 of the Jewish calendar was ushered in with the celebration of Rosh Hashana, or New Year's day. Though calendars strewn about office walls record the date as September in the year 1914, to devout Jews this is now the month of Tishri, and the first- day of the New Year. Many stores in Port land will close today in observance of the holiday. A number of Jewish holidays, all be ginning at sunset, are ushered in today, including Gedaliah, in honor of the as sassinated hero of that name; Yom Kippur, or the Fast of Atonement, and Succoth, or the Festival of the Taber nacles. Last night in the synagogue at Twelfth and Main streets, an unusual audience was present to listen to Rabbi Jonah B. Wise and to participate in the Service of prayer and song. At 10 o'clock this morning a special observance will be held in the syna gogue with prayer, music and a ser mon by Rabbi Wise. The regular serv ices will be held next Friday and Sat urday evenings. September 29, at sunset, will begin the Fast of the Atonement. From that hour until, the sun sets on September 30, no Jew in Portland who holds his religion sacred will taste of food. Spe cial services will be held in the 'syna gogue during the day. .During the holiday season, particu larly preceding Yom Kippur, it is cus tomary for the Hebrew to beg the for giveness of all whom he has Injured during the year, and to settle all ac counts outstanding. Old ties of friend ship are supposed to be renewed, and families united in this season of re- pen ten ce. The Day of Atonement is the outcome of religious conditions as they existed during the Babylonian exile. The Feast of the Tabernacles in the old testa ment codes, closed the harvest of fruit, oil and wine in Palestine. It is said that the Hebrew priests adopted this feast from the Canaanites and that the name of the feast Is derived from the Canaan custom of erecting booths in the vineyards, In which the people dwelt during the season. Succoth. this year, will fall on October 12 and will oe toe last important jewisn Holiday before the Passover of next Bpring. At the sixth-street synagogue Dr. H. N. Heller spoke last night on "The Mes sage of the Shoffar." On Tuesday morn ing at 11:30 c, W. Robinson will lec ture there.

BRITISH REPORT LOSSES German Cruiser Captures Six Mer chant. Ste&niers in Bay of Bengal, Sinking FiveRiver Engage ments Fought. LONDON, Sept. 20. There has not been a gun fired in the North Sea for days, so far as the British pnblic knows, but the Admiralty Issued to night bulletins of Important encoun ters in far-off waters. The German protected cruiser Koen- igsberg caught tne British light crui ser Pegasus overhauling her machin ery in Zanzibar harbor today and at tacked and completely disabled her. The German cruiser, while 'of the same. class as the British, had more modern guns. The British loss is given as 2a killed and 80 wounded. The German cruiser Emden captured six British merchant steamers in the Bay of Bengal in six days and sank five of them.l The Emden reappeared at Rangoon, possibly having taken part in other exploits as yet not known. Former Canarder Sinks German. On the British side of the score was the sinking of a German merchant cruiser, supposed to have been the Cap Trafalgar or the Berlin, bj the former Cunard liner Carmania, also armed as cruiser, on September 14, in waters which the Admiralty describes as "off the east coast of South America." The British loss was nine killed and 26 wounded. The German loss is unknown. The survivors were rescued. Reuter's Telegraph Company says it was the Cap Trafalgar that was sunk. The British cruiser Cumberland re ports some small encounter between small British and German craft in the Kamerun River, in which the British had the better of it. The Admiralty report says that since the outbreak of the war the Pegasus, under command of John A. Inglis, had been working from Zanzibar and had rendered useful services, including the destruction of Dar-es-Salaam, a sea port in German East Africa, the sink ing of the German gunboat Mowe and a floating dry dock. British Snip Completely Disabled. Early 'today," continued the state ment, she was attacked by the Koen- sberg while anchored in Zanzibar harbor cleaning boilers and repairing machinery. The Pegasus, thus taken at a disadvantage, and somewhat over- ranged by the newer four-inch guns of the Koenigsberg, was completely dis abled- after suffering a loss unofficially reported at 25 killed and 80 wounded. This is a high proportion out of a crew of 234. "On September 10 the German cruiser Emden, from the China station, after being completely lost for six weeks. suddenly appeared in the Bay of Ben gal and during the period including September 10 to 14, captured six Brit ish ships, as follows: The Indus, Lovat, Kallim, Diplomat, Frabbock and Ka tinga. ' Five were sunk and the sixth was sent to Calcutta with the crews of the others. The Emden now Is re ported at Rangoon and It is possible she has made other captures. Armed CmUer Sank. "The British auxiliary cruiser Car- mania, Captain Noel Grant, Royal Navy went-into action September 14 off the east coast of South America with a German armed merchant cruiser, sup posed to be Cap Trafalgar or Berlin, mounting eight four-inch guns and pompoms. The action lasted one hour and 45 minutes, when the German ship capsized and sank, her survivors be ing rescued by an empty collier. "Of the Carmania's crew nine men were killed and five seriously wounded. None of the officers was wounded. The First Lord of the Admiralty has sent the following 'telegram to Captain Grant: 'Well done! You have fought a fine action to a successful finish.' "The British cruiser Cumberland, Captain Curil Fuller, R. N., reports from the Kamerun River that a Ger man steamboat on the night of Septem ber 14 attempted to sink the British gunboat Dwarf. Commander Frederick Strong, with an infernal machine in her bows. The attempt failed and the steamboat with one prisoner was cap tured. . Gunboat Purposely Rammed. "On the night of September 16 -the Dwarf was purposely rammed by the Nachtigall. a German merchant ship. The Dwarf was slightly damaged but sustained no casualties. The Nachti gall was wrecked. The enemy lost four white, men and 10 colored men and eight white and four colored men are missing. "A further report from the Cumber land today says that two German launches, one carrying explosive ma chines, were , destroyed. The. enemy's losses were one white man killed and three white men and two natives taken prisoners." The Admiralty reports confirm an earlier report from Tokio, last week, of the sinking of six British steamers by the Emden in far distant waters. Of the steamers the Indus was of 2103 tons, and was last reported at Cal cutta, August 11; the Lovat was of, 1090 tons; the Killim or Killin of 2257; the Diplomat 4873 tons was last reported at Suez August 11, bound from Liver pool for Calcutta. Neither the Frabbock or "the Katinga is mentioned in the official maritime register. There is a Kabinga of 2925 tons, which was at Calcutta September 3, ready to sail for Boston and New York, and a Katanga of 2160 tons, which sailed from Port Talbot August 20 for Calcutta.

Trust BUI in Dispute. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. Congress. which has been In continuous session for 18 months, is almost ready to send word to the President that it has com pleted its work. Unless the European war should precipitate conditions now unforeseen, legislative tasks in hand should be finished within a few weeks. Administration leaders tonight said they could see no reason why adjourn ment should not be taken by Octo ber 15. While the Senate Is fighting its way out of the river and harbor difficulty the House this week will at last take up the war revenue bill. Majority Leader Underwood believes he can pilot the bill through within the week. The war tax will take effect imme diately on passage, except that the stamp tax provision will not become operative until November 1. Senate Democrats will expedite the bill all they can, although there may be some changes. In its present form the meas ure has the indorsement of the Presl dent. Trust legislation is about concluded. The Federal trade commission bill awaits the signature of the President, who is delaying the vitalization of the law until the Clayton anti-trust bill to supplement the Sherman act can reach him. The conference report on that measure will be completed to morrow. The disputed point of the measure concerns the amendment by Senator Reed, which would give the courts authority when corporations are convicted to appoint receivers and sell property of corporations to per sons who would restore competitive conditions. Serious opposition has de veloped to this feature, the argument being that it opens a dangerous op portunity for connivance of courts with business interests and offers an allurement for corruption. ' The sec tion is certain to be modified if not eliminated. The House this week will pass the Ferris bill to provide for a National system of leases of public lands so as to open up their mineral resources. On its passage advocates of the Jones bill, looking to independence of the Philippines, are planning to call up rule now lying on Speaker . Clark's desk, the adoption of which would give the bill immediate consideration. PEAGE TALK IS CHECKED PRESIDENT WILL NOT NOW LISTEN TO IMPORTUNITIES. Time Believed Not Ripe For Effective Action Italy and Roumnnla Widely Disjcaaaed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. President Wilson feels that the opportune mo merit for the United States Government to exert its influence effectually for peace in Europe has not arrived. This was caid today on the highest au thorlty. For the present, it was said. unofficial and Informal efforts to per suade the Washington government to press for peace la Europe would be unavailing. There is a steady diminution here peace talk. Instead, the possibilities of an extension of the European con flict to Italy and Roumania re wide ly discussed among well informed of ficials. "Roumania will" follow Italy, said the report of an American diplo matic officer recently. Since then there have been added evidences of an en tente between Rqme and Bucharest. . Practically no change has occurred in the situation in Turkey, Russian vic tories it is believed by diplomats of the allied countries, has had a sober ing effect on the war party at Con stantinople. As October approaches, when the abrogation of the capitula tions becomes effective. It is expected the question of Turkey's neutrality soon will be definitely settled. From the far East sucn advices as have been received describe the ac tivity of the Japanese as careful and deliberate, their movements being ex ecuted slowly to enable them to invest Klau-Chau with the least possible loss of life.

Between the lines it would appear the Doctor went to London to treat some dear one with Bright's Disease. The results were satisfactory, and the' Doctor was to leave on the 1st for home. As to what the Doctor did, the fol lowing brief postscript discloses: "I brought six bottles of the Renal Com pound to the case, but find I should have brought more. The case Is pro gressing well." The motive of the letter was to ask if Fulton's Renal Compound can be had in London, and, if not. then the New York address. The 'ability of Fulton's Renal Com Dound to reduce albumen in many cases of Bright's Disease is a FACT IN PHYSICS established thousands of times. That this humane fact in urinalysis can, be accepted by some physicians and denied by others, when patients are dying for just such an agent, is to us the marvel of the can tury.

It has been a frontal attack against a power ful foe, splendidly entrenched and strongly situated. Only the better fighter wins such a battle.

Season for Industrial Depression. ero Prosperity is a happy state. It de pends upon good credit, stable prices, employment of wage earners, and a general confidence in the future. Of late there seems to have been an unnecessary amount of business de pression, due mostly to the lack of fairness of one class toward another, and to a little dishonesty or overgrasp ing scattered through all the classes, but not in a majority of any of l hem. In a country of our enormous natu ral wealth, we should have little to worry about. The United States, with its insular possessions and Alaska, is nearly as large as Europe. Our coasts are indented with excellent harbors and intersected by internal waterways, and we have, by far. the finest and cheapest cost railroad transportation in the whole world, making communica tion cheap and easy. We have tre mendous water power and every va riety of climate and soil. Magnificent forests cover a great area of our terri tory. -Our land is liberally stocked with almost every variety of mineral wealth, and with our vast agricultural wealth we lead the world in a great many things. When corporations are renovated and their ills aired by publicity, and when business men begin to feel a renewed confidence, and when political "cure alls." who have never made & success of their own affairs, ouit offering "reme dies" for all sorts of imaginary troubles; when we have full publicity in politics svnd in government: when business managers and employees treat each other fairly, the causes for apparent depression will disappear and rral pros perity will return and etay with us. isHiraiiiiisi
