THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, JUNE 25. 1915. LUST RUSSIAN LINE GOVERNOR, SI EMBERS OF DESERT LAND BOARD, MEMBERS OF STATE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION CAPTURE OF LONDON AND OTHER OFFICIALS LEAVING FOR CENTRAL OREGON. m PLANNED BY KAISER PARK, WEST PARK, NEAR WASHINGTON ALICIA BROKEN l iZz f-J Stubborn Resistance on River Dniester Is Overcome, Says Berlin War Office. MOVE ON WARSAW LIKELY Germans Consider Pan-Slavism De cisively Defeated PetrogTad Ob servers Say Victory Sure, Al though Far in Future. LONDON, June 24. Final breaking: down of the stubborn Rusaian defense on the Dniester, according to a dis- Tatfh from Berlin, virtually clears Ualicia of the invaders, who either have crossed or are near their own frontier; with military observers here conceding that the Czar's forces are not likely to h nble to assume the offensive for some time to come. A new Austro-German .offensive against Warsaw, capital of Russian Poland, and nossibly- extensive opera tions against the Italians in the south are considered the next probable moves of the Teuton armies. Berlin military experts reiterate that a crushing defeat has been adminis tered to Pan-Slavism in the recapture of Lemberg. Petrograd observers mini mize the political and strategical effect of the Russian reverse, liking it to the retreat of the Franco-British forces to the Marne. in France, early in the war, which subsequently resulted in hurried .retirement of the Germans from the environs of Paris to defenses nearer the Franco-Belgian border. End Slay Be Years Hence. The Russians are of the opinion that the tables will be turned eventually, but agree that months and even years may pass before the German aggressive ness will have spent itself. Petrograd writers express this view on the theory that the war has now resolved Itself into a state whereby the allies must take time and wear the Austro-Uermans down, admitting that preparedness by the Teutons is now manifesting its superiority. Some Russian observers even go so far as to say the Russians have lost Lemberg only temporarily, and that they will occupy the city again. In connection with this view, they point out the fact that the Czar's forces left the Galician capital practically un damaged, only petroleum and benzine tanks, railway facilities and some fac tories being destroyed before the evacu ation. Russia is not embarrassed by lack of men, observers say, although her losses in this war have reached more than 2.000.000. it Is estimated. Her terri tory Is expansive, one writer -saying maneuvers can be carried on over 1000 miles without touching vital parts of the nation. Farther Preparations ?f ceded. The time that would be required for this, the writers say, would enable the government thoroughly to prepare fur ther for operations and reach a state of efficiency that would compare with that attained by Germany before the beginning of the war. In the meantime. It is argued, Ger many would be subjected during this period to a process of wearing-down tactics that should in time give the allies an easy advantage. The operations thus far have been contests in the expenditure of muni tions. Russia, like her allies, had but a handful. comparatively speaking, while the Germans have expended quan tities so enormous as to be beyond the wildest imagination of her enemies. Or ganization of all essentials to aggres siveness have been equal, so far as the Kaiser's armies were concerned. i here is no visible indication tlat Germany is threatened with an exhaus tion of munitions, and Berlin observers are as sure of completing their victory s the Russian experts are that the Kaiser's organization will be smashed in course oi time. EGG CIRCLE IN OPERATION Preliminary Survey Made at Leban on for Similar Organization. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, June 24. (Special.) A poul try and egg circle has been organized at Salem for the purpose of handling ine poultry products of that section. i he organization has been promoted under the direction of C. C. Lamb and j-utner J. Chapin, of the college ex tension service. .The organization will handle the products of flocks representing over S00O fowls. The eggs will be graded. candled and marked with the associa tion seal. The association has markets already which will represent a ma terlal increase in the returns from tales of their products. Air. Lamb left today for Lebanon, wnere he win make a preliminary sur vey in anticipation of organizing the poultrymen of that section. There will probably be a third organization Jn the vicinity of Monroe. These or Ionizations will continue to receive thi assistance of the representatives of the college extension service until they have become firmly established. If the organizations prove 'successful many more will be organized in different sections of the state. I - 'JZZZZ&zs, f5:4JL ' '.

FIRST SUBMARINE IS JUNK Holland Nine I'ished From River to Be Broken Up. PHILADELPHIA, June 24. The firs rubmarine boat bought by the Unite states Government is on a junk pil today. It was the Holland Nine. Th little craft, only a mite compared with the Eubmersibles now making history in European waters, was hauled out o the Delaware River yesterday, and will be broken up for the material that is In it. The Holland Nine was completed in 1900 and coat 1150,000. sistanca to banks which desire special accommodations for short periods. The short-term rate is believed likely to be an effective substitute for call loans based on collateral." SAJf FRANCISCO. June 24. "With the close today of the American Medical Association's three-day session, the greatest gathering of eminent phy sicians and surgeons from ell parts oi the country ever congregated on the Pacific Coast came to an end. fif teen sections representing every branch of the profession held conven tions in 15 large halls of the Civic Au ditorium simultaneously. It was de cided to hold the 67th annual session in Detroit In 1916. Surgeon-General Rupert Blue, of the United States Public Health Service, was elected today president of the as sociation. Dr. Blue was In charge of the campaign to restore healthier con ditions in San Francisco following the disaster of 1906. His election was made unanimous. Dr. W. W. Grant, of Denver, was the rival candidate. Onen-Air Schools Favored. Sherman C. Kingsley, the Chicago charity worker, in a tiaper on "Some Medical Aspects of the Open-Alr School," stated that compulsory edu cation laws in the United States re quire some 20,000,000 children to spend 100.000,000 hours a day in schoolrooms of the land. The summaries of medical inspection reveal the fact that more than 60 per cent of the schoolchildren have physical defects serious enough to interfere with school work and to require attention. He estimated that from 2 to 10 per cent of the total school population needs some such regime as that furnished bv the open-air school, He said that the problem, wmcn was largely for the medical profession, was how to meet the physical needs of these children in the seven or eight years'when they are required to occupy school seats and to be largely under the control and supervision of a duly organized branch of government. ' Soldier Resistant to Shock. Dr. Wesley E. Drennen, of Birming ham, Ala., who spent several months in active service at the American am bulance . base hospital in Paris, said that the result of any extreme shock was not so great a menace with the soldier as with the civilian, owing to tbe difference In, their mental atti tudes. Two-thirds of the wounds which he had seen In France were caused by shrapnel. Notwithstanding the HI thi - ness, some of those whom he had spoken to not having bathed in from month to three months, tetanus, he said, was practically negligible owing to the use of antitoxin. He pointed out that tbe sharp-nosed bullets prac tically all are dumdums, at least In their enect. Dr. F. E. McCullough, of the United States Navy, said that while the per centage or mortality among the wounded la the Spanish-American war was 27. and in the Russo-Japanese war a tririe over three, the mortality in the present European war would be less than the latter figure, owing to the advances made in medicine and surgery.

In addition to inspection of the trout hatcheries, one of the main purposes of the trip by the State Fish and Game Commission Is to bring the members in close touch with sportsmen of Central and Southern Oregon. All of Which Is Obstructed by Mighty British. Force Concen trated on Narrow Front Many Lines Deep in France. LONDON. June 24. (Special.) Re ports reaching England from Germany through various channels appear to establish as a fact that another deter mined effort by the Kaiser's forces to capture Calais and Boulogne and a considerable stretch of the coast be tween Boulogne and Havre Is only a question of time. The Germans regard Calais from their point of view as the key to world power. They frankly say eo. Long before they said so, British and French strategists assumed aa much. This accounts for the particularly strong concentration of allied troops in the region that the Germans must tra verse if they are to reach the cities and the coast line that they covet. Capture of London Is Rope. The Germans say that once they pos sess Calais their guns with a range of 26 miles will destroy Dover, sweep the English Channel clear of hostile ships aad thus make easy invasion of England. Having landeda small army of vet erans in England they feel assured that the capture of London, which im mediately beforehand will be thrown into a panic by Zeppelins and aero planes, will follow readily on the army's rapid advance from the sea. Critics speak of the small sector of the western firing line held by the British and ask why the British do not deploy more widely and thus render greater service to the allies' cause. The answer Is that while the British troops hold only a narrow front they hold a part that in no cir cumstances must give way. Allies' Left Wins la Strong. From the start the Germans have been striving to crush the extreme left wing of the allies. That is still their strategy. The British, French and Belgians together mean that the enemy shall not- achieve his object. The first line he may overwhelm, es pecially by the agency of asphyxiating gases, but behind the first line Is an other and behind the second and third is still another. In short, the road that Germany wishes to tread on her way to world power will be found to be by no means easier now than when she so mightily essayed to travel it last Fall. Neither the British nor the French look on German occupation of Calais and Boulogne as synonymous with the collapse of France and the doom of England. Nevertheless, they much de sire that this occupation shall not take place. They wish to keep Calais and Boulogne and all the French coast, first, because they belong to France, and secondly, - because these ports are most Important to the proper suste nance of the allies' fighting strength in the west. Britons Doubt Invasion. Britain and France, if they must, can transfer their coast bases farther west and south, but they prefer to have these bases where they are and they have . made what they believe adequate dispositions to keep the bases unmolested. Germany says that when she gets her army of Germans into England the conquest of this country will be an affair of small difficulty. But. In the first place, the best minds in Eng land robustly doubt Germany's ability to land any sort of force on these isl ands. However, they dare not base any national policy on this doubt. They must assume that a landing is not only posible. but practically cer tain, and N therefore they must make preparations to meet it when it comes, Berlin is th home of nearly one-third of r,frmany more tiian miu mask, scnools. Aged Indian Is Dead. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. June 24. Henry Pitt Jackson, perhaps the most prominent Indian on the Klamath res ervation, died today at Bonanza at an advanced age. He was a Pitt River Indian by birth and was for some time held a slave by the Klamaths until released under requirements of the treaty of 1864. During the Modoc War in 1873 he served as a scout under Captain O. C. Applegate, of this city, and afterwards became an employe in the sub-agency at Yainax.
