GERMAN RETREAT DELIBERATE
Clean AVork Made ot Bridges and
f 'Stores on Way From Warsaw.
LONDON, Nov. 1. Professor Bernard
Pares, the British government corre-
spondect with the Russian army, tele
i graphs under date of October 30 the
following account of the battle around
; Warsaw, which is issued by the of
ficial press bureau:
"I have spent some days at "Warsaw
and have examined the scenes of the
, recent fighting as far out as beyond
i Bkierniewice. The Russian river line
of defense ran along the Nieman. Babr.
Narew. Middle Vistula and the San.
i "The Germans have not previously
tested seriously the strength of the
center of this line, and the Russian
-.. reports issued had so far only spoken
of a northern and southern front.
' Warsaw lay beyond the defensive river
' line. A rapid seizure of the city before
:. Winter set in would have greatly
: strengthened the Prussian northern
front and would have endangered Rus-
sian occupation of Galicia. It would
also have created a moral effect on
'. the Poles and they might have sup
ported any proposals to negotiate.
' "The Germans advanced principally
: from the southwest, a region largely
J left in their hands. The German army
corps reported a line southeast of
:" Blonie, and at Pruzkow they were lit
t tie more than six miles from Warsaw.
' "The cannonade shook houses in the
city; German aeroplanes dropped
-. bombs near the railway bridge, the
' quarters of the general staff and else
where, killing over 10Q persons.
"The Germans in retiring made clean
work of the bridges, railways and
stores. There is every sign of a de
liberate and well-executed retreat.
. Fewer prisoners were taken tban in
the case of the Austrians, the wound
ed being for the most part carried
away."
KVSSIAXS CLAIM MAX Y GAINS
Advance on East Prussia Front and
' Rout of Rear Guard Reported.
PETROGRAD, Nov. 1. The Russian
general staff takes the following an
', nouncement:
; "On the East Prussian front our
i troops are progressing in the region of
, V ladislawow (government of Suwalki)
i and the forest of Romentin.
; "The German attacks in the region
of Bakalarazevo on October 31, have
I ceased, following terrible losses suf
fered by the enemy.
; "Beyond the Vistula we have ad
vanced victoriously along the whole
. ' front. We have occupied Patrikau,
, Optczne and Ojaroff. Battles took place
, in roads leading to Opatoff, where we
i routed the rear-guard of the enemy.
: We took 400 prisoners and captured
six rapid-fire guns, convoys and pro
. visions.
"Upon the San River, near Lezachovo,
it a Russian regiment which had in
i. trenched itself step by step, reached th
; enemy's position and, profiting by the
; panic among the Austrians, took by
assault a temporary fort. Five of
; ficers and 500 soldiers were taken and
five rapid-fire guns were captured.
"A column of the enemy which de
scended from the Carpathians and fort
iried itself near Nadvarna, was at-
t tacked and put to flight."

' DALLAS, Or.. Nov. 1 (Special.)
Church services were suspended In Dal
las tonight while 1200 persons listened
to Robert A. Booth. Republican nomi
nee for United States Senator, speak on
"Higher Citizenship."
The meeting was held in the armory
under the auspices ot the Methodist
Church of Dallas. The large hall was
taxed to its capacity, the crowd gather
ing long before the hour for which the
'address was scheduled.
The meeting was opened with the
singing of "Coronation" by the audi
ence, followed by an anthem and the
reading of a selection from the scrip
tures. In his introduction Rev. George H.
Bennett, pastor of the church, com
pared Mr. Booth to Abraham Lincoln.
He spoke of the candidate as a man ot
.the soil, a self-made man imbued with
wisdom and patriotism. He referred to
the fact that Mr. Booth's father haa
laid the foundation for church and
school in Oregon, and pointed out that
Robert A. Booth is one of the highest
types of citizenship, a business man, a
philosopher, a statesman and a Chris
tian. , Mr. Booth's speech was non-political.
He pleaded for a higher citizenship in
'the Nation, higher education and higher
moral development, and lauded the
good work of the church.
t After the meeting, which closed with
a - prayer by the pastor, hundreds
crowded forward to meet Mr. Booth
and pledge their support to him. Mr.
Booth left at 10 o'clock for Salem on
tils way to Portland.

to have been antiquated, little effort to
modernize them having been spent on
them.

The Imitator is like, the counterfeiter.
He enters the field of business with a
cheaper, lower grade article of merchan
dise, made as a substitute for the genu
ine, and generally sold at a cheaper
price. arguinK. as usual, that it is "just
-. :l -r:r:--d;d to
handle it on glowins promises of enor
mous profits much larger than the reg
ular legitimate profit which is made on
the genuine article. The imitator suc
ceeds in playing upon man's natural
avarice, places his goods on sale with
the. dealer, and ' instructs , him to take
advantage of thepjublic by substituting
the false article for the genuine at every
opportunity. You can be pretty sure
that whenever you ask for a well-known
Uroduct and the dealer tells you he has
something else that's Just as good, or
even better, the dealer is going to make
' a greater profit on that article than the
one you- caU for. and ln nine cases out
of ten you will get a much inferior
article.
Some .buyers are easily imposed upon
and this encourages the "get-rich-quick"
schemers to increase their substitutions.
This also discourages . the legitimate
manufacturer who is putting out arti
cles of merchandise that represent hon
est value - to the consumer. Where a
man has devoted years of his life in per
fecting an article that he knows cannot
be excelled ln quality: where he has
spent thousands of dollars in advertis
ing his goods: and where these goods
have been plving universal satisfaction
for a long time, great Injury results by
permitting substitution to rob him of
his market and at the same time rob
the consumer by selling him a doubtful
article at practically the same price.
There is no law through which such
' evil practices can be stopped. The sole
remedy is for the legitimate manufac
turers to ask the public direct not to
patronize dealers who try to substitute
a different brand of goods for. the kind
wanted.
