GermaBi Start Battle.
"It is already known that the battle

with a bombardment by the German
heavy artillery in the region of
opotzkin on the left bank of the
River Niemen, followed by an offensive
movement by the enemy against the
came fortified town.
"At the same time the Germans made
repeated efforts to crush and dislocate
the Russian forces near Druskenikl, on
the Niemen.
"On September 26 the Germans also
began an attack on the fortress of Os
eowetz, but everywhere met with fierce
resistance and. were compelled to re
treat. ....
Not satisfied with counter attacks,
our troops . took the offensive vigor
ously and pursued the enemy. Notwith
standing the energetic resistance of
fered by tlie Germans, they could not
check the onward rush of our troops,
who captured the enemy's positions one

"Routed by this irresistible engage

army, 1 inform the public that Warsaw
and its vicinity are as before, beyond
all danger from the enemy. I beg the
inhabitants to be calm and peacably
carry on their occupations."
The military critic of Russki Slowo

Silesia includes the Bavarian corps, and
that the army is commanded by the
K.ing of Bavaria.
"The Russians now have to deal with
a total of six armies," he says. "Two of
these are in East Prussia and constitute
the left flank: two In West Poland
form the center and two others are
concentrating on the right wing in
West GaJicia,
"The Polish peasants in Kalisz, Rus
sian Poland, are carrying on a guerilla
warfare in which the Germans and the
peasants hunt each other in the forest
with the aid of snares and entangle
ments. No mercy is shown on either
side."

LONDON, Oct. 5. Telegraphing from
Paris, the correspondent of Reuter's
Telegram Company says:
"That the fumes of the famous
French three-inch shell have a most
deadly effect in an enclosed space is
shown by a scene that met the eyes of
the French penetrating a chateau occu.

had just bombarded. Entering the
drawing-room, they found a company
of Wurtemburgians petrified in action.
Some were at the windows taking aim,
with their Angers still pressing the
trigger, while others were at the tablea,
where they had' been playing games
with cards in their hands, while still
others had cigarettes in their lips. An
officer stood with his mouth as if in
the act of dictating an order, anj all
the corpses looked absolutely lifelike."

VON KLUCK IN BAD PLACE
German Outposts Indicate Demoral-
Jzation, Says Writer.
LONDON, Oct. 5. The Dally Mail's
correspondent in France reports fight
ing in and around Douai, in the depart
ment of Nord. IS miles south of Lille,
and consider that if the French have
reached Douai in force that the situa
tion of tiie German General Von Kluck
must be desperate.
"General von Kluck," the correspon
dent says, "has had all the reinforce
ments which can be spared him, and
yet finds himself outnumbered at every
point.
"The timidity of the German outposts,
who surrender when surprised, is strong
evidence of their demoralization."

Germans Fall by Hundreds in
Trap, Say Russians.
PONTOONS ARE CAPTURED
Retreating Teutons Declared Pur
sued by Cossacks, Who Use Bridge
Erected by Kaiser's Forces.
Resistance Is Stubborn.
LONDON. Oct. 5. A graphic account
of the frustration of an attempt by the
Germans to cross the Niemen River Is
given by the Dailv Telegraph's Petro
grad correspondent.
"The Germans appear' to have fallen
into a Russian trap," the correspondent
says. "On September 23 the rear guard
of the Russian General Rennenkamp's
army was transferred to the right
bank of the river and the following
evening the Germans approached the
stream. The next day, seeing no signs
of opposition, the Germans proceeded
to construct pontoon bridges and com
pleted this work without molestation.
Germans Swept Into River.
"It was only when the troops were
pouring across to the right bank in
fancied security that a sound like the
roll of thunder was heard and dozens
of Russian guns, cleverly posted and
screened, opened their concentrated fire
on the crowded bridges. ,
"Before the blast of shra'pnel and
machine .gun projectiles the Germans
were swept into the river by the hun
dreds, fepeedily. however, the challenge
of the Russian guns was taken up by
the German artillery and for a long
tine the duel continued.
"After a while, the Germans, think
ing they had gotten the measure of the
Russian gunners, attempted to throw
their troops across the Niemen. But this
time also they had no better luck and
not one of the soldiers who stepped
upon the bridges either reached the op
posite shore or returned.
Hundreds Float Away.
"The bodies of the slain floated in
hundreds. down the yellow flood of the
Niemen. Still the Germans vigorously
maintained their bombardment, and
about six o'clock in' the evening made
a last desperate effort to utilize the
bridges On which they had spent such
pains.
"Columns in close formation were
sent forward to the crossings, but. once
again every man was mowed down by
the murderous fire of the Russian ma
chine guns.
"With the fall of evening the Ger
man batteries were silenced, one after
the other, by the steady and well
directed fire of the Russian artillery.
The enemy then fell back eight miles,
pursued and harassed by Cossacks who
had crossed the river on the German
bridges.
"According to one account no fewer
than 20,000 German corpses were car
ried down the Niemen after this awful
carnage.
"In the fight at Sredikl, on the Nie-
man, September 15, the German cas
ualties also are said to have been
large. An eye witness of the battle
says that in the river and on its banks
no fewer than 8000 Germans perished.
On the opposite shore from the city the
bodies of 1500 Germans were lying un
buried for some days afterward."

PORTLAND ACADEMY TROUXCED
The Dalles Team Is Too Experienced,
Says Coach Hurlburt.
Coach Hurlburt and his Portland
Academy proteges returned home
from The Dalles Saturday night with
S 34-to-0 defeat charged to them. Too
much experience is given as the cause
by the local players.'
"It was practically the same organi
zation I sent a team against three
years ago," said Coach Hurlburt, "and
it is an advertised fact that the back
field has been playing together for
four seasons.
"This was the first real scrimmage
my team has had, and taking under
consideration the fact that a large ma
jority of the local players were green
at the game, the showing Is gratifying.
I had figured on being beaten by three
touchdowns."
COLOR LINE IN ENGLAND

LONDON. Oct. 4 The growing prej

who says:
"Among the men who poured into the
smoking room of a city restaurant was
a faultlessly dressed negro of distin

at & table, which would accommodate
four -persons. All the other tables In
the room were quickly tilled and there
was not an inch of space to spare, ex

There was a time when elephants
had a place in the fighting line. The
Carthaginians employed these animals
in their wars with Rome, and Antiochus.
according to the Books of the Macca
bees, "to every elephant appointed 1000
men. armed with coats of mail, and 600
