The early official report Issued by the
War Office today said:
"Belgian troops continued to make

pursued the enemy, and seized
several trenches. In one of these we
found about 100 dead and some war

" In Lorraine our patrols occupied the
Tillage of Umbermenil. In the Vosges
there has been artillery action.
"The British air squadron has
effectively bombarded Westende.
"The success gained by the British
armies at Xueve Chapeile proves to
ha;e been absolutely complete. They
advanced on a front of about three
kilometers (about two miles), with a
depth of from 1.200 to 1.300 meters,
capturing successively three lines of
trenrhes and a fortified work to the
outh of Nueve Chapeile. Counter at
tacks delivered by the Germans with
great violence were repulsed.
German Lonnes Reported Heavy.
"The enemy suffered great losses and
left in the hands of our allies prison

RERL1.V. March 14. (By -wireless to
Fayville. N. T.) The War Office gave
out the following statement today:
"Several of the enemy's ships yes
terday shelled without result German
positions from the vicinity of La Panne
and Nieuport.
"Near Xueve Chapeile. except for one
Isolated Krltixh attack, which was re
pulsed, there were only artillery duels.
"In Champagne the French asain
made partial attacks to the east of
Souain and north of Les Mesnil. All of
these attacks broke down under the
German Tire, with heavy losses to the
Krench.
"In the Vospcs the weather is better
and fichtinc lias been resumed. In the
Argonnes the French are now using a
new sort of hand grenade, which fills
the air with a pestilential odor. The
tnfantry also is using explosive bullets,
which burst Into flames when striking
objects. This was observed in yester
day's engagements."
British Force Overwhelming.
BKRLI.V. March 14. (By wireless to
Fayvillo, N. T.) The Overseas News
Agency tonight says that it appears
from a Frlti.h army order found on a

daring in his meteoric career. In "The
City of Portland," the airship named
for the occasion, Beachey left Portland
at 11:15 in the morning of September
19 and landed on the fort grounds 40
minutes later. The airship "City of
Portland" was one of the early types
of airships, the gasbag of the "Gela
tine" being used for the craft. Cap
tain T. S. Baldwin was the owner of
the "City of Portland."
While Beachey's trip to the barracks
was most successful, notwithstanding
the high winds, his return trip failed.
In an effort to reach the exposition
grounds Beachey encountered stub
born . winds, although he arose high
above the barracks grounds before head
ing the airship toward Portland. The
wind was too obstinate, however, and
he was forced to make a landing. Later
he attempted to return, but was blown
about by the high winds, eventually
landing at Orchard, Wash., seven miles
beyond Vancouver.
Beachey's daring In this flight not
only gave the large crowds at the ex
position some of the first thrills of
pioneer air navigation, but the aviator
really began to gain world-wide recog
nition by his feats in Portland.
Beachey startled Portland and other
parts of the world which were watch
ing aeronautic accomplishments Sep
tember 26 by flying from the Exposi
tion grounds and alighting on top of
the Chamber of Commerce building, lc
the heart of the Portland business dls
trict. He remained on the building roof
22 minutes. Beachey made his round
trip from the Exposition grounds over
Portland and back, a distance of nearly
two and a half miles, in 5a minutes,
of which only 33 minutes he was In
the air. At times the airship made
15 miles an hour, at that time consid
ered a burst of speed. Beachey's trip
was made primarily as a speed test and
"thriller," his landing on the roof of
the Chamber of Commerce building be
ing one of Beachey's ideas for putting
the crowds on edge.
At the time of the flight The Orego-
nian printed the following, describing
Beachey's thrilling air maneuvers:
"When he reached the Chamber of
Commerce building Beachey was sail
ing very low, nearly grazing the roof.
He hovered over the building severa
seconds, getting lower and lower until
the propeller was not more than five
feet above the stone abutments. The
several score of people who were on
the roof grabbed the framework and
pulled the airship down on the roof. In
22 minutes Beachey started his trip
back to the exposition grounds."
President H. W. Goode. of the expo
sition, gave Beachey the highest in
dorsement as the premier aviator at the
exposition.
Beachey was only 18 years old at the
time of his hair-raising flights in the
pioneer airship in Portland.
LOSS IS FELT BY MILITARY
Volunteer Aviation Officer Praises
Beachey for Dauntless Courage.
ST. LOUIS, March 14. "The Death of
Lincoln Beachey is a great loss to the
country from A military standpoint,"
declared Albert Bond Lambert, organ
izer of the United States Volunteer
Aviation Reserve, when told of the ac
cident which cost Beachey's life at San
Francisco today. Beachey, as First
Lieutenant, was next to Lambert as
highest ranking officer in the reserve.
Beachey was referred to as a 'dare
devil,' " Mr. Lambert continued, "but
the qualities which gave him that name
are absolutely essential to military
flying. It was this unlimited courage
more than anything else that enabled
Beachey to live as long as he did."

Aviator, Once Told by Glenn Curtiss
That lie Was Failure, Wins
Fame by Persistent Kffort
and Disregard of Danger.
Lincoln Beachey. who was killed In
San Francisco yesterday was regarded
as the most skillful and daring of Amer
ican aviators. He earned his reputa
tion long before the French flyers be
gan gliding through tne air upsiue
down. Beachey was in retirement
when Pegoud began to perform un
heard of feats in the air and was
drawn back into the game by his de
sire to demonstrate he could duplicate
the remarkable flying of the foreigner.
Beachev had made a machine with
a small flying surface and a powerful
motor. Then he started out. as he ex
pressed it. "to outfly the birds." He
flew upside down, made spirals while
head downward, looped the loop and
did other "stunts" a thousand feet
above the earth which the Wrights and
others had never believed possible.
First Flight Made When 17.
Beachey was Interested in aeronaut
ica as a schoolboy. He was born in
San Francisco in September, 1887.
At 13 he entered the employ of
balloonist and began to study aerial
navigation. He made his first flight
at Idora Park. Oakland, Cal., in Feb
ruary. 1905, piloting George E. Heaton's
dirigible balloon. He was 17 years old
at the time.
In August of that year he flew at
the Lewis and Clarke Exposition
Portland, Or., as aeronaut for Captain
T. S. Baldwin. Beachey joined Roy
Knabenshue in 1896. He created ;
sensation in July of that year by fly
ing around the dome of the National
Capitol, to the astonishment of thous

ands and the adjournment of the House
of Representatives. Scores of members
of Congress greeted him as he alighted
at the steps of the Capitol.
Beachey then left Knabenschue and
started out for himself. He built a
balloon 40 feet long, much shorter than
any he had previously flown.
Balloon Impnled on Tall Spar.
Hundreds of thousands stopped their
work in New York on July 25, 1907, to
watch him soar over the city. He made
a landing at Battery Park, but was
compelled to rise almost immediately
to escape the thousands who flocked to
the spot. Beachey sailed over Broad
and Nassau streets and Park Kow.
Over Williamsburg bridge his motor
began to miss fire and the wind carried
him toward Sunken Meadows. Within
50 feet of the ground a gust of wind
whirled th gas bag around, carried it
across the river, and dashed it hard
against the tall steel spar on Spindle
ieht. The bag was lmpalea ana
Beachey saved himself by throwing his
arms around the pole. He' was rescued
by fishermen.
Beachey built another dirigible and
continued to make exhibition flights
about the country. In 1910 his Interest
turned to heavier than air machines.!
lie constructed a monoplane and
wrecked It in a flight at St. Paul. He
made his first "successful flight in an
aeroplane at Los Angeles in January,
mil. Later he wrested this machine
and broke up a second flyer at San
Francisco not long after.
Washington Flight Kamoua One.
Glenn Curtiss told him he was a fail
ure, but Beachey persisted and on May
5, 1911, he was the first man to circle
the Capitol at Washington in a heavier
than air machine. - The flight made him
famous and a few weeks later the Na
tion gasped when It read he had flown
over Niagara Falls. On June -'7 he
circled above tne cataract auu, with the
machine obscured in fog, swooped be
neath the arches of the upper steel
bridge and down the gorge almost to
the whirlpool. It was the first time an
aviator had cut through the air cur
rents and mist that have lured many
adventurers to death.
The following week Beachey won
the first inter-city aeroplane race held
on the continent, flying from New York
to Philadelphia in two hours and 22
seconds. Later in the month he was
the most prominent figure in the note
worthy aviation meet in Chicago,
He spiraled at such angles that per
sons thought he was falling and tele
phoned for ambulances. He played
leapfrog over the steam engines in
Grant Park. He. did what he called the
"Texas Tommy" on Michigan boule
vard, jigging the wheels of the chassis
on the pavement and driving automo
biles to the sidewalk. He spun his
landing wheels on the top plane of
another machine. Other aviators were
flagged down and Beachey was fined
for violating the code of the air that
machines must remain 150 feet apart.
He established an American record for
altitude by flying heavenward until his
fuel was exhausted and then volplaned
11.000 feet to the earth.
Early in the Spring of 1913 Beachey
announced he had made his last flight.
He asserted he believed himself partly
responsible for the deaths of nine avi
a tors who tried to emulate his "fool
ishly daring exploits." He said that in
case of war he would fly lor OKI oiory,
but until then be was through.
French Feats Draw Beachey Back.
' Later in the year, when American
newspapers began to chronicle the
feats of the Frenchman. fVgoud. the
"call of the air' mastered Beachey's
will and he said he would prove Arner
leans were masters of the French In
aviation. He constructed a biplane
only 21 feet wide, with double beams
and wires to stand the extra strain,
and said he was going to loop the loop.
In trying out this machine at Ham
mondsport, N. Y., October 7, 1913.
Beachey lost control and swept several
persons from the roof of a shed. Miss
Ruth Hildreth. of New York, was
killed and her sister was injured.
The accident unnerved him for a
time and he did not fly for weeks. Then
he took his machine to California uml
began to practice the "sunts" which
later thrilled large crowds In exhibi
tions he gave in many parts of the
United States.
Beachey's recent ' exploits included
flying a i ardinal-colored biplane at the
big California-Stanford fooiball game
at Berkeley, Cal., last Fall, flaunting
tiie Stanford men's colors gratuitously,
although it was reported he had been of
fered !M00 to carry the maize and blue of
the State University, He made a previous
flight at the Panama-Pacific Exposition
in the Autumn, being drawn down by
the cold when trying for altitude.
Beachey estimated that 20,000.000
persons had seen him fly.

WHAT NEURASTHENIA IS
Neurasthenia is a condition of ex
hausti'on of the nervous system. The
causes are varied. Continuous worn,
mental or physical, without proper
vacation periods, without proper at
tention to diet and exercise, also worry
over the struggle for success, are the
most common causes. Excesses of al
most any kind may produce It. Some
diseases, like the grip, will cause
neurasthenia. So also will a severe
shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensltlveness,
rritabllity, a disposition to worry
over trifles, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment Is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed toward building
up thje blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
act directly on the blood and with
proper regulation of the diet have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by
most neurasthenic patients, is also cor
rected by these tonic pills. Your own
druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Two useful books Diseases of the
Nervous System and What to Eat and
Howl to Eat will be sent free by the
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N, Y., if you mention this paper.

HIS RHEUMATISH IN Ml WEEKS
J. W. Brock, of Astoria, Out
With Big Boost for Great
Mineral Remedy.
V
Crippled up with rheumatism. .1. W
Brock, of Astoria, Or., a well-known
carpenter, was hardly able to follow his
trade until he toon AKoz. the wonderful
California medicinal mineral. Three
weeks of the treatment stopped the
pains and enabled him to resume his
work. He (says in a letter to the
Natura Company of San Francisco:
l had muscular rheumatism lor in
years. My legs and arms were affected
as well an the chest. I endured grtat
pain, especially when I breathed. I
used other medicines but never got the
results I have obtained from Ako.. My
rheumatism was so bad that it was
hardly possible for me to work. I took
Akoz three weeks. The pains left ine
in a few days, l now nreaine ireely
without suffering. 1 go to my work
with zest, can swing a hammer and
climb about as nimble as I could when
I was a young fellow. Not only has my
rheumatism practically been cured by
the three weeks I have taken Akor., but
my whole constitution has been helped.
I will take the internal treatmeat a lit
tle longer as advised to get the cause
of the trouble out of my system. I am
with Akoz at every swing of the hammer."
