Hostile Land.
ROTTERDAM. Sept 14. The corre
spondent of the Berliner Tageblatt with
the German headquarters In the field,
describing the f ortiflcations of Mau
beuge, recently taken by the Germain,
points to the fact that this was the first
fortress of its kind to be taken.
The fortress consisted of a chain of
forts and outworks. These latter were
composed of permanent trenches and
redoubts, access to which was difficult
owing: to the general use of barbed
wire entanglements. The artillery was
placed in deep epaulements, but was
mobile instead of stationary, as usually
is the case. During the attack on the
fortress an armored train on the line
nortn of the city was in action.
Heavy Artillery Is Effective.
Before Maubeuge surrendered seven
units among the outworks were taken
by the Germans. The lesson of this,
asserts the correspondent, is that the
(jerraan heavy artillery was able to
overcome what the French thought to
be impregnable positions.
In view of the German claims that
dum-dum ammunition was found in the
French fortress of Longwy, Colonel
Darche, commander of the French
troops there, who was permitted to re
tain his sword by the German Crown.
I'rince, has been deprived of that honor.
The German general staff announces
that the recent Ugures of French, Eng
lish and Russian prisoners of war. ex
clusive of the 40.000 French taken at
Lougwy and all others taken since that
dale, total now more than 260,000.
Potato-Raising Encouraged.
According to a journal of the alcohol,
the production of alcohol in Germany
has been cut down 40 per cent, and of
the remaining 60 per cent a large
amount must be converted into a prod
uct suitable as fuel for motors. This
was due, it is said, to the efforts of the
German government to convert the po
tato crop into food. & large part of
which in the past has been used in the
manufacture of alcohol.
The Prussian Minister of Agriculture
has announced that those wishing to
establish potato-drying plants could
get necessary capital from the German
government at 4 per cent, returnable
between 1U17 and 1924, together with
interest, provided the production was
begun immediately. The manufac
turers have formed a society for the
development of a dried potato produc
tion and consumption and are turning
ever to this society their entire out
put. Bakers everywhere have been in
structed to teach the population to use
potato meal as an ingredient for bread
dough.
Grain Harvest Is Short.
It is asserted that while the grain
harvest was not as plentiful as was
expected. It was unusually rich in al
bumen and the adoption of potato meal,
therefore, would be desirable in pro
portions of 10 per cent potato starch
una 20 per cent potato meal.
The German Minister of the Interior
has recommended that the requirement
in the German naturalization of for
eigners be limited to the utmost in fa
vor of foreigners offering their serv
ices as volunteers in the German army.
Speaking of the advance on the Ger
man wing in France, Major-General
Gatti, of the Italian army, says in the
Corriere Dellazera that the perform
ance was astonishing in speed and. in
results. The advance, he says, re
sembled the' progress of an earthslide.
Russians to Leave Germany.
The 190 kilometers (118 miles) from
Brussels to Compeigne were traveled
in about 20 days, notwithstanding the
lighting, making nine kilometers (5.2
miles) a day, which, in view of the
large bodies moved and the extension
of the lines of communications. the
Major-General adds, was a remarkable
performance.
Russians residing in Germany have
received permission to go home, except
males Detween the ages of 17 and 45
and active and retired officers. Special
trains are being put at the disposal of
those returning to Kussla. A special
bureau has been established for the
issuance of the necessary papers.
The return of English, French and
Belgian civilians in Germany is not yet
permitted, but it Is thought this will
be merely a matter of a few days, pos
sibly after the Russians have gone
nome.
GERMANS ARE IN SQUABBLE
Ha variuns Taken From Brussels, Re
tenting Insult to Belgian Queen.
LONDON, Sept. 26, 3:41 A. M. A dis
patch from Ghent to the Express says
that the trouble between the Bavarians
and Prussians in Brussels has continued
and that all Bavarians in Belgium are
being removed. The resentment of the
. Bavarians, it is said, is due to insults
alleged to have been offered by the
Prussians to the Belgian Queen, who
is a Bavarian Princess.
A dispatch from Amsterdam to Reu-
ter's says, however, that the reports
of fighting between the Prussians and
Bavarians is officially denied in
Brussels.

SCENES OF HEAVIEST F1GHT1SG ABB ON ALLIES' IEPT, AKOBND
FIRST AID LACKING
Sick and Wounded Soldiers
Seriously Neglected.
SCORES NOT PICKED UP
American Official Sajs Battling Na
tions Are Alike So Sngrossed In
Making War They Have
Forgotten All Else.
LONDON", Sept. 17. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) Inability to
take prompt care of the sick and
wounded soldiers in the field is mani
festing itself to an alarming degree
in the rear of the French and English
lines.
An American official who was close
behind the allies for several days with
in 100 'miles of Paris said he found
200 soldiers in one emergency camp
who had been for two days without
food and water and had had no sur
gical attention, although some of them
were badly wounded and their wounds
were foul from neglect. In many other
places he found scores of wounded men
who had not been picked up by the
ambulance corps.
First Aid Is Lacking.
At Paris hospital facilities are ade
quate and good care is taken of the
injured there, but the "f lrst-atd,-to-the-
injured" work is not tnorougniy or
ganized and adequate provisions have
not been made for picking the injured
up promptly and affording them speedy
treatment and transportation to a oase
hospital.
"The plain truth 1 about the present
situation is that Germans. French and
English alike are so engrossed with
the mighty task of making war that
they have no time nor strength left to
care for the sick and wounded," said
the American official. "Here is the
opportunity for the United States to
play the good Samaritan in a way
which will be thoroughly appreciated
by the entire world. Instead of send
ing a few surgeons and nurses to each
of the belligerent countries sufficient
funds might be subscribed in the
United States to enable the American
Bed Cross to send 20 surgeons and 100
nurses with . complete field hospital
equipment intoB"very one of the coun
tries where fighting is now going on.
Need Is Immediate.
"There is Imperative need for imme
diate help from neutrals. The bellig
erents cannot do justice to their sick
and wounded without the assistance of
outsiders. Until one gets Into the war
zone and sees the wounded it is im
possible to conceive of the magnitude
of this conflict.
"The Red Cross hospital ship sent by
the Americans will be of great use, but
trained surgeons and nurses to go into
the field are needed more than ships
or base hospitals. The surgeons and
doctors are needed immediately and
will be needed throughout the war.
Modern science has proven how vital
the Immediate treatment of all wounds
is. I saw men lying on battlefields in
France whose wounds were actually
rotting through neglect."
RED CROSS SUGGESTS I.I3IIT
Americans Abroad Asked to Confine
Appeals to Europe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. The Amer
ican Red Cross cabled Ambassador
Page, in London, today asking that he
discourage efforts of Americans there
to raise funds in the United States for
relief work In the European war zone.
The message said:
"American Red Cross, under procla
mation of President Wilson, is receiv
ing contributions for Impartial distribu
tion among all countries at war. Ap
peals received from American societies
in London for funds for the same pur
pose are causing confusion in America.
Believed American Red Cross In much
better position to assure impartial dis.
tribution than London societies. Sug
gest, therefore, that latter confine ap
peals to Americans In Europe. Please
communicate to societies
FRENCHJSOLDIER IS TARGET
(Continued From First Page.)
after studying our map we decided we
could make better progress straight
ahead to a point where we could reach
Maubeuge, at which place we knew
fighting was in progress.
The road lay open and clear. After
three or four miles we arrived at a lit'
tie cluster of houses called Merben-ste
Marie, where we found a number of
trenches freshly built. A peasant told
us that a desperate fight had occurred
there three days before, Sunday, the
23d.
Some English cavalry had arrived on
the evening of the 21st and on Satur
day the French arrived. In the After
noon they went on toward Biiche.
Later there came one regiment oficul
rasslera, one regiment of dragoons Vnd
some artillery.
German Advance Engaged.
When the German advance struck
them on Sunday a hot fight resulted
and more than 100 were killed and
wounded. Two English soldiers were
buried near a farmhouse and two near
a railway station.
The Germans put some wounded in
a farmhouse which had been partly
wrecked by English shells.
The town, of Maubeuge is only 12
miles away, but the forts defending it
are much nearer. We debated the mat
ter of proceeding on to Maubeuge after
a farmer had told us that the German
troops had all passed to the eastward
toward Beaumont, where, he said, the
French and English were massed
There was danger of getting outside
the lines, or between them, if we con
tinued straight ahead It became a
question of going on toward Maubeuge,
where we. knew fighting to be in prog
ress, or of going toward Beaumont,
where the great battle might occur.
Man's Throat Cat In Hamw,
We decided to go on ahead toward
Maubeuge. In an hour we reached the
outskirts of the town of Merbes-le-Chateau,
where we found a group of
citizens disconsolately standing near
some houses that had been destroyed.
The houses were still smoking. There
were evidences of a severe rifle fire.
The scene was a sad one. A lot of
furniture had been carried out and was
on the sidewalk. A half dozen people,
sorrowful but eager to talk, told us of
the fight. They said that a man in the
first house had his throat cut by the
Germans, and we were taken into 'the
smoking ruins to a spot where blood
was on the floor. Down in the cellar
was a table with food on it, wnere
people had probably taken refuge.
The neighbors say the Germans en
tered the house and killed the man. It
was the first evidence of an atrocity
that we had seen, and we investigated
it in an effort to learn the truth. From
one source we heard that the citizen
was deliberately murdered; from an
other that he had been found in the
house studying the German troops with
a pair pi field glasses, and from still
another that English soldiers had been
firing from the house at the German
skirmishers, and that the latter bad re
taliated on the citizen in whose house
the English had taken a protected posi
tion.
Story of Sniping Credited. '
The last explanation I believe to be
the most probable one, for the German
officers make no secret of the army's
policy of killing citizens found in
houses where sniping had been done.
rrencn occupied strong breastworks
at the top of the bluff at Buissiere,
supported by artillery posted behind.
The Germans had to cross the open
fields and Into the valley, crowd their
columns on the culvert and march In
a narrow file to the two bridges over
the Sambre. Every foot of their ad
vance was in the open.
I never see French soldiers without
being struck by the criminal folly of
sending men thus uniformed into bat-
ue. liieir coats are long ana cumber
some, as well as unsoidierly - look
ing. Their trousers are red and their
shoes are laced. As a target a French
soldier is conspicuously inviting as far
as he can be seen.
Trenches Show. Panic of French,
What a contrast to this uniform is
tho dusty, greenish-gray uniform of
the German, who wears an ideal garb
both for service and for its protective
coloring.
The scene in the trenches, was one of
great confusion, showing how panicky
the Frenchmen had become. Caps, hav
ersacks, cartridges, tobacco, food, can
teens, broken rifles, blood-stained note
books, shirts and shoes were strewn on
the ground in a way which eloquently
told how precipitate had been the flight
of the French defenders.
Pieces of wearing apparel, soaked
with blood, were scattered about. Rifles
broken at the stocks showed how the
French had smashed them in order that
they might be useless when found by
the Germans.
PEACE PACTS RATIFIED
SENATE APPROVES BRITISH, SPAN

Action on Proposed Chinese Agreement
Deferred In View ef Far
East Situation.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. Peace com
mission treaties with Great Britain.
France and Spain were ratified today
by the Senate, making 25 nations in
the series negotiated by the State De
partment which have been approved by
this Government. A similar treaty
with China was favorably reported by
the committee on foreign relations, but
action was deferred by request of sev
eral Senators who wish to discuss it
thoroughly in view of the situation in
the Far East Involving Germany and
Japan at Klau-Chau.
No opposition developed to the agree
ments with Great Britain. France and
Spain. The treaties provide for in
vestigation for a year before resort to
arms in all international disputes which
cannot be settled by ordinary resources
of diplomacy. The theory is that a
year's reflection would serve to allay
bitterness which might precipitate war.
The Chinese treaty will be called up
again next' week.

HOUSE PASSES TAX
Vote 234 to 135 in Favor of
War Revenue Bill.
11 DEMOCRATS OPPOSE
All Republicans and All Progres
sives, Except Copley of Illinois,
Vote No Temperance Work
er Against Beer Tax.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. The House
today passed the war revenue measure
by a vote of 234 to 135.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where the finance committee already
has begun paving the way for its
prompt passage.
All the Republicans and all the Pro
gressives, except Representative. Cop
ley, of Illinois, voted against the bill,
anj they were joined by the following
11 Democrats: Representative Callo
way, Texas; Church, California; Hob
son, Alabama, U'Hatr, Illinois; Rags-
dale, South Carolina; Sisson, Stephens
and Witherspoon. Mississippi; Thomp
son, Oklahoma, and Wingo, Arkansas.
Move to Recon&salt Defeated.
The bill was under discussion in the
House two days. Its passage was pre
ceded by the overwhelming viva voce
defeat of a motion of Representative
Payne, of New York, to recommit the
bill to the ways and means committee,
the only motion of any kind allowed
the opposition under the .rule.
During today's debate, Republican
Leader Mann assailed the measure as
due to the Democratic tariff rather
than to the war and as a novel
proposition to tax the people's pocket
books while the Government has $75,
000.000 on deposit In the National
banks.
Representative Hobson, of Alabama.
Democrat, declared the temperance
forces were opposed to any tax on beer
on the plnciple that the Government
should not be dependent in anyway
upon alcohol, which, he said had 5,000,
000 slaves in this country and cost
more lives than wars.
American Diplomacy Praised.
Representative . Gallivan. of Massa
chusetts, Democrat, praised the Ameri
can diplomacy of today, which he said
was emerging with honor while "the
'trained' diplomacy of Europe had
wrought a blunder so colossal that no
man living can reckon its conse
quences." The bill would Impose an additional
tax of 50 cents a barrel on beer. 2
cents a gallon on gasoline, 20 cents a
gallon on sweet wines and 12 cents on
dry wines, stamp taxes on railway and
steamboat tickets, brokers' contracts,
insurance policies, mortgages, telegraph
and telephone messages and special
taxes on theaters, brokers, bankers,
tobacco dealers and others.
MR. SIXNOTT ATTACKS WAR TAX
Tariff Law Blamed for Deficit by
Oregon Representative.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Sept. 25. But for unwise
revision of the ' tariff by the Demo
cratic Congress, and extravagance in
appropriations there would be no oc
casion at this time for passing the de
ficiency tax bill, according to Rep
resentative Slnnott. of Oregon, who to
day made a short speech in opposi
tion to the Underwood measure.
Mr. Sinnott told the House that be
tween $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 of the
present deficiency was the result of the
action of Representative Underwood
and his Southern colleagues in placing
cotton bags and cotton ties on the free
list and quoted Mr. Underwood's cam
paign book used in the recent Alabama
primaries In which Mr. Underwood
claimed credit for this saving to
Southern farmers.
Mr.. Slnnott said that when this
feature of the tariff bill was before
the House he tried to secure an
amendment for the benefit of Western
farmers, placing grain bags and wool
sacks on the free list also, but that
Southern votes defeated his amend
ment. Free cotton bagging and free cotton
ties, given to constituents of the
gentleman from Alabama for campaign
thunder, and campaign arguments in
the senatorial contest In his state, ac
counts for $5,000,010 to $6,000,000 of
the deficit in revenues, charged Mr.
Sinnott.
His speech was loudly applauded by
Republican members. Representative
Hawley joined Mr. Slnnott in voting
against the Underwood bill today, as
did other Northwestern members.

to take them prisoners, when, it is said,
the Germans reopened fire. The British
officers ordered their men to lie down,
which they did. Three British machine
guns were brought into action and
killed every German in that portion of
the field.
JTO ADVANTAGE IS INDICATED
New Battle Reported ' Along Left
Wing of Allies.
LONDON, Sept. 25 From Peronne on
the west to Lorraine on the east, along
a battle line that would take a pedes
trian a fortnight to cover, there came
to London today nothing to indicate
that either of the vast armies whose
millions, like moles, are conducting
their operations virtually underground,
had yielded at any important point.
It has been said that a new battla
was developing on the allies' left wing,
but. so far as London is concerned, this
as yet lacks official confirmation.
There were also reports that the Ger
mans have made gigantic preparations
to renew tho siege of Verdun.
- The heaviest siege artillery, accord
ing to these reports, is being trans
ported by the Germans from Metz and
they are sacrificing thousands of lives
in their endeavors to place these mon
sters In position. The plain to the
east of Verdun is said in London to be
strewn with 10,000 dead and 15,000
wounded, the result of repeated Ger
man advances which have followed
eacn other with lightning-like rapidity.
Official statements bear out other re
ports that there has been a compara
tive lull through the center of the
battle line. . . . (Portions of this
dispatch have been deleted by the Brit
ish censor.) . . . almost unbroken
series of Russian victories ...
(Another group of words taken out by

should come to a head, perhaps before

say 8 :
"The enemy, perceiving the danger
to his right wing, as Indicated by the
communication Friday afternoon, has
perceptibly reinforced it to the detri
ment of the center and left. This ex
plains the violence of the battle which
is being waged between the Somrae and
the Heights on the left bank of the
Oise. But In doing this, the enemy
necessarily stripped his front, and we
have profited immensely by advancing
toward "Berry and Moronvilliers.
"The position of the Germans would
be perilous it the line they hold breaks
in the center and the position of their
forces on the right would be endan.
gered. It is because of this disquieting
prospect that they ape redoubling their
efforts against the heights of the
Mouse. We learn that they possess the
promontory of Hatton Cbatel, not prob
ably without difficulty, and that they
are marching on St. MihieL"
Lieutenant-Cblonel 'Rousset refers to
the difficulties of the territory con
fronting the Germans, whose left wing
is menaced by the mobile garrison of
Toul, and declares that even if the
Germans succeed in their efforts they
would not become masters of the
French fortified front. They would
have to descend the heights of the
Meuse and cross the river under fire
and the forts of the center, which are
still intact, would constitute a serious
danger to the operations.
"I Imagine then," adds the writer,
"that this new offensive is a simple
demonstration to draw our attention
from this side and if it assumes seri
ous proportions the army will know
how to find convenient dispositions to
check It."
