GERMAN ARTILLERY WAR HEROES OF TODAY No. 9. DECISIVE VICTORY iS REPORTED BOGGED NEAR, SAYS RUSSIA British Observer Says Opening of Dykes Has Embarrassed Foe's Advance. BRAVE ENEMY PRAISED Men Press Forward to W hat in Many Cases Obviously Is Certain Death. German Prisoners Say Iftood Has Been Scarce. LONDON, Nov. 6 Colonel E. D. Swln ton, of the intelligence department of the British general staff. In a recital of events on the front in France, dated November 1, says the fighting of the preceding five days has been of the most desperate character, and that the German troops have won the respect of the allies by their bravery. "Whether it be due to patriotism or to the fear induced by iron discipline," he says, "the fact remains that they steadily press forward to what in many cases must obviously be certain death, marchers Fall From Fatigue. "That they are forced sometimes to BO on is shown by the following answer to an interrogation put to a wounded German prisoner: " 'I was enlisted In October. 1913. On mobilization the weakly and those back ward in training to the number of about 60 per cent of the company were withdrawn from the active regiment to form the nucleus of a reserve regiment. After 10 weeks of hard training we traveled to Aix-la-Chapelle. where we remained in reserve. We were told that our nearest enemies were the English. " 'On October 17 and 18 we performed such fatiguing forced marches that many men fell out on the road. On October 19 we each received 285 rounds of ammunition, and had our first taste of Are. From this day onward the fighting was uninterrupted. October 20 the section received orders to go for ward to attack, and our officers warned us if we gave way fire would be opened on us from behind. This threat was carried into effect when the losses we suffered compelled us to retire. Indeed, it was by a German bullet that I was wounded. Food Declared Lacking. " 'Having fallen to the ground I re mained between the lines without food or care for two days, at the end of which time I dragged myself to a ruined house. During all this time German shells, which were short, were falling About my shelter, a few hundred paces from the French lines. The French having advanced October 24, I myself moved forward and called but to a pass ing patrol and surrendered. " 'We have received no distribution of food since our arrival in France. The commandant of my company was a reserve Lieutenant, 28 years old. The Colonel, whose name I do not know, also belonged to the reserves, as did all the other officers of the regiment. The officers told us that If we fell Into the hands of the French we would- be sent to the foreign legion and that we sure would be massacred by the Moroc cans. " 'I saw one man shot. He was & priest, who they said was a spy.' Artillery Bogged on Dykes. "The results of the inundation to the north of Dlxmude have been observed by our aviators, who have seen num bers of the enemy collected in groups on the dikes, which intersect the flooded area, where, according to report, some German heavy artillery is bogged. Our airmen also have been able to harass advancing hostile columns by bomb-dropping and machine gunfire. "The tactical transfer of troops be hind the German front line is now car ried out to a great extent by omnibuses, of which long lines are visible from above. During the past few days large numbers of refugees have been stream ing back along all the roads from Bel gium and crowding the empty trains returning from the front, on which the French have, most humanely, allowed them to travel. In these trains whole families may be seen Jostled together In horse trucks and having with them what few household goods they have been able to carry away. But the less fortunate have to trudge the roads, making use of any shelter they can find. Inhabitants Hope mrnd Fear. "The Inhabitants of the district with in our cone of operations also line the roads from morning to night and listen to the sound of the guns, there being nothing else for them to do. "As the dull roar waxes and wanes, so does their confidence die away or re turn, and in such alternates of fear and hope Is each weary day passed. All this traffic to and fro of civilians en tails the utmost vigilance in order to guard against espionage." CANAL WORKERS GO HOME Government to Pay for Transporta tion of Men Out of Work. NEW TORK, Nov. 6. The rapidly approaching completion of the Panama Canal and the consequent reduction of the force of employes has caused Colonel Goethals to repatriate numbers of these men thus thrown out of em ployment. Notices have been posted that the Panama Canal Zone Govern ment will furnish free transportation to limited numbers of West Indian for mer employes to their homes, and to date about 3400 repatriation passes have been issued. While the Government's obligation to return laborers to their home com mittees was originally limited to those brought to the canal work under con tract. It has been extended to include laborers who migrated to the isthmus on their own responsibility, but who could show a period of service equal to that stipulated in the contracts. Now, principally as a police measure for the prevention of vagrancy, free transportation Is offered to practically all employes out of work and the Re public of Panama Is excluding further Immigrants likely to become public charges. GRAIN VESSELS SCARCE Marked Decrease In Sales on Chicago Market Follows. CHICAGO, Nov. 6. Scarcity of vessel room was the explanation today for the marked decrease in sales of grain for export. Wheat export sales were reported as 600.000 bushels, while 600. 000 bushels of corn, 50.000 bushels of oats and 40,000 bushels of rye were moved from Chicago.

GERMAN LINER SAFE Kronprinzessin Cecilie Voyages to Boston Harbor. CAPTAIN FRANKLY AFRAID Two United States Destroyers Act as Convoys and Scouts and Slost of Trip Is Made Well Within Territorial Waters. BOSTON, Nov. 6. Under protection of two torpedo-boat destroyers of the United States Navy, the North German Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie steamed Into this port late today, after 13 hours' run from Bar Harbor, Me. The transfer of the shiD. which has been interned at the Maine port for three months as a result of the war, was accomplished without unusual in cident. Her captain, frankly concerned over the possibility of molestation by a hostile ship, paced the bridge during the entire voyage, but his fears proved groundless. Captain Much Relieved. "I am a much relieved man." he said when he had brought the vessel to anchor In President Roads,'between other German steamers which also are confined here because of the war. Most of the voyage was made within the three-mile limit, but on several stretches the big liner was more than ten miles off shore. The destroyer Terry was close alongside throughout, while the destroyer Lamson held to a course a bo tit,, ten miles out, on the watch for the appearance of any pos sible element of danger to the Cecilie. Aboard the steamer Lieutenant Kil patrick. U. S. N., assisted Captain Polack in the navigation of the vessel and supervised the operation of the steamer's wireless apparatus, which was unsealed for the first time in many weeks. Hearing; of Suit Postponed. Almost at the time that the United States Marshal for Maine turned the custody of the vessel over to Deputy Morse, of Massachusetts, an agreement was arranged In the Federal Court here postponing a hearing on the principal suit against the steamship company until November 20. It had been set for today. The suit was brought by the Guaranty Trust Company, of New Xork. for damages alleged to have resulted from the failure of the Kronprinzessin Cecilie to deliver in Europe a con signment of $11,000,000 of gold. SUBMARINES TO BE BUILT (Continued From First Page.) of the - seagoing type and the usual number seven or eight small subma rines for coast and harbor defense. While the submarines have attracted much attention, the naval strategists, with whom Secretary Daniels is con ferring in the preparation of his an nual report, do not believe there should be any change In the plans set forth by the general board several years ago in the programme of two battleships a year and a proportionate number of auxiliaries and submarines. The United States already has more submarines than Germany and Japan and Mr. Daniels has publicly declared that the general board still believed In the battleship unit as the necessary line along which the American Navy should advance to keep peace with the other fleets of the world. It is conceded among naxral men. however, that Con gress, with the importance of the sub marine impressed on the world, will discuss the advisability of using the appropriation ordinarily made for a single battleship for the building of 28 new submarines. Many Submarines May Be Built. By sacrificing one battleshio the American Navy could be at one stroke alongside England and France In sub marine strength. Some naval officers point to the long coast lines and nu merous harbors of the United States aa requiring more submarines In comparl. son witn me small coast lengths of European nations. One of the chief recommendation th Navy will make to Congress will be an Increase in personnel. It Is esti mated that 18,000 more men than are I now provided for by; acts of Congress will be required to man the present fleet, including ships under construc tion. More torpedoes also are certain to be asked for. In this connection the Army also will make an appeal for more ammunition. The shortage in shells and other mu nitions have been pictured to Congress for many years without much success, but there is every indication that not only ammunition but more field artil lery and 16-inch i guns for coast de fenses will be pressed for with renewed vigor by the War Department. Greater Army Also Considered. What Secretary Garrison, however, will seek to obtain from Congress :s a settlement of the much-debated prob lem of an adequate Regular Army, with the progressive development of a policy analagous to that formulated by the general board for the Navy a dec ade ago, when the programme of two battleships a year was adopted. It is understood that he is prepared to reiterate, in greater detail and with more emphasis, this view, expressed In his last report: "For some years the Army war col lege section of the general staff and officers generally throughout the serv ice, have been working with great ear nestness. Intelligence and enthusiasm' for the establishment of a definite Na tional military policy, the spread of military knowledge among the people and the creation of a military reserve force, to the end that there shall be In all the walks of civil life an increas ingly large number of men with a suf ficient military training to make them better prepared for the service of their country should the call ever need to be made. The purpose and effect of this have not been to invite or to encourage it, Dut to postpone it Strong Defense Advocated. "As a peaceful and unmilltary peo ple, engrossed in the settlement and upbuilding of our vast territory, we are but dimly impressed with the fact that Just as agriculture and commerce are the foundations of mr great National prosperity, so with equal truth are our military and naval forces Its bulwark and defense." Mr. Garrison said then and Teiterated that "the time has not yet come when a nation can wisely disarm or slacken its efforts for preparedness in case of war." Specifically the general staff has been long at work on a plan for a reserve army. Details of the plan .through which Congress could enact legislation that would tend to build up the desired reserve force are expected to be dis cussed by Mr. Garrison in his forth coming report.

FLOUR TRADE IN DANGER MILLERS PROTEST AGAINST ACTION OF HOLLAND. Insistence on Consignment to Govern ment Said to Make Bills of Ladinar Non-Negotiable. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. A delegation representing the Millers' National Fed eration, headed by President Mennel, of Toledo, protested to the State De partment today that The Netherlands government had refused to permit the shipment' of flour into Holland except when consigned to the government it self. The millers told Acting Secretary Lansing and Solicitor Johnson this de cree would break down their flour trade; that the Dutch government was selling the flour directly to the con sumer and that blUs of lading of goods consigned to the government were not negotiable. As a result, .they said, the movement of some 600,000 sacks of flour across the Atlantic was being held up. They urged that should other neutral nations adopt an attitude sim ilar to that of Holland, utter demoral ization of the : American flour trade with those countries would result. Acting Secretary Lansing asked his visitors to submit their complaint in writing, and promised to do-what he could for them. It was pointed out in official circles, however, that the man agement of Holland's flour trade was an internal matter with which foreign governments - were not concerned, though representations probably would Insure delivery on contracts entered Into before the outbreak of the Euro pean war. ITALY TO STAY NEUTRAL FORMATION OF NEW CABINET AN NOUNCED OFFICIALLY. Ministry Now Believed More Repre sentative of Country's Interests and Allies Satisfied. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Formation of the new Italian Cabinet, news of which officially reached the embassy here today, probably will mean the con tinuation of Italy's policy of strict neu trality, according to opinions expressed today at the embassy. "The appointment of Baron Sidney Sonnino, as Minister for Foreign Af fairs," said an Italian official, "does not mean a change of policy, but with a Cabinet representing more broadly the various elements of the country, the Government's policy will be a more truly national expression of Italy's in terests." Diplomatists of the entente powers expressed confidence In the unbiased action of the new Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is generally believed Italy, as previously indicated by the Italian Ambassador here, will remain aloof from the European conflict unless her national Interests are vitally threat ened by some overt act of a belligerent, Good Men, Good Measures Win That's why our Men's Suits and Overcoats are the choice of those who appreciate style, fit and work manship, coupled with the savings off ered in our se lections at The emblem of clothes economy IBrownsirllle Woolen Mill Third at Morrison Some of the best-dressed men seen at the Land Show are wearing our clothes made here in Portland STOCKYARDS Oil FIRE Several Thousand Hogs En dangered at Kansas City. 10,000 CATTLE STAMPEDE Firemen Hampered by Heat of Flames and Entire System of Pens Is Threatened With Ie strnctlon Big Force Fights. KANSAS CITT, Nov. 6. Flre start ing1 In one " of - the pens of the local stockyards and within a few feet of the Livestock Exchange building will prove serious. The entire yards were threatened late tonight. In 20 minutes two square blocks of cattle pens had been burned and the fire was spreading rapidly. A strong breeze from the southeast and the in tense heat of the burning pine from the maze of pens handicapped the firemen. It is believed that a cigarette or matcri dropped by a smoker caused the blaze. Every available f-ire company in Kansas City, Mo., was called to the scene and several companies' from Kan sas City, Kan. Only two pens in the district burned at 11 o'clock contained cattle. About 10.000 head were released and turned into alleys in an attempt to drive them into sheep pens out of range of the flames. The animals stampeded, racing through the West River bottoms. Sev eral thousand hogs were imprisoned and it was not believed possible to rescue them. ; inT RUSSIANS IN ARMENIA REGIMENTS OF TURKS ARE RE PORTED CAPTURED. Ameer of Afghanistan Reported to Have Sent Army of 170,000 Men Asralnst Border of Indian. LONDON, Nov. 6. Russia has thrown a fighting front extending 160 miles into Armenia and the army Is being received by the populace as a liberator. says a Petrograd dispatch. It is further said that several regiments of Turkish troops have been captured. A Berlin dispatch says a Constanti nople communication, reports that an army of 170.000 troops has been sent to the Indian border by the Ameer of Afghanistan and that several Indian tribes have joined the Afghans. The dispatch further says that -the British officers on the border have been taken prisoners and many were killed, while the railway line from Herat to Kushk has been destroyed. It is also said in the Berlin dispatch that a force of 250,000 Turks Is operat ing against Egypt. .While Great Britain is confining her fight on Turkey to naval bombard ments of seaports It is said that the land forces will become active If the Turks invade Egypt. It is also considered likely that Italy would finally become an active par ticipant in the war should Egypt be in vaded by Turkey, as her recently won territory In North Africa would be menaced. A Turkish force has advanced in the Sinai Peninsula, according to the Ber lin report. A British steamer has been sunk off Aivali, Asia Minor, and the Turks have seized two others at Smyrna, according to Exchange Telegraph dispatches. i'SER RETREAT CALLED ROUT English Correspondent Says German Right Smashed Like Broken Glass. LONDON, Nov. 6. The correspond ent of the Daily Mail in the north of France, under date of November 5, de scribes the relief felt in Dunkirk. Calais and' the neighboring towns and villages lat the retreat of the Ger mans, which, he declares, amounts to nothing less than a rout. He says: "The German right is' smashed like a fallen wine glass. Guns, stores, rifles and even the wounded were abandoned in the' rush from this fatal battlefield. The chance of the Ger mans was well on the wane when the flooding of their positions came as a climax of the disaster. "There is now left no more than a remnant of the German force which met its fate at the Yser. Thirty thou sand Germans, say the Belgians, have beera put out of the ficht on this line. Not & single gun remains on this side of the river, and the unburied dead, the drowned and the wounded, with the memory of all the trains of wounded that left the firing line ir recent days, lead one to think that there is no over telling of the enemy's loss. There must be many thousands of prisoners." GERMANS TELL OF ADVANCE Offensive Northwest and Southwest of Ypres Reported Gaining. BERLIN. Nov. 6. News given out officially for the press today says that tne hard fighting in the northwest con tinues, but that It is as yet without result. The Germans have, however, been able to make slow advances at several points from Ypres Inland. The clash in Poland, which has been expected for several days past, has not yet developed. One reason is that the condition of the roads make rapid movements impossible. The cold weath er Is now making some Improvement in- this regard. LONDON, Nov. 6. The" Marconi Wire less Company has received the follow ing official statement issued by the German headquarters today: "Our offensive to the northwest and southwest of Ypres has made good progress. At La Bassee. to the north of Arras and in the Argonne region we have gained ground. "Our troops captured important posi tions southeast of St. Mlhlel and have inmcted heavy losses on the French.'

Cannon, has brought suit for $25,000 damages against the Press-Democrat, a local Democratic paper.

Fourth and Alder 3 M The standard of maker direct to you Count von Bernstorff. German Ambas sador to the United States. The state ment said: "Some time ago the German imperial government warmly recommended to Turkey the protection of Jews of what ever nationality. Recently, prior to tho outbreak of the war, this recom mendation was renewed. "It had been feared that the numer ous Jews in Turkey would, in case of war. be endangered, not only on ac count of their religion, but also for their non-Turkish nationality. Many Jews who have resided in Turkey for years are not, up to this day, Ottoman citizens. "It is, therefore, reassuring to learn that Germany has warmly recommend ed to Turkey the protection of all Jews, irrespective of nationality." 266 Missing From German Cruiser. BERLIN, Nov. 6.
