TIIE MOI?XIXG OKEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY. JULY 12, 1916. BERLIN SAYS FOE FAILS OF PURPOSE British Declared to Have Been Shot Down Before Coming ' . to Close Quarters. WOODS NOT RECAPTURED Trench Black Troops South of . . Soniiue described as Having Keen Mowed Down in At tempt to Storm Heights. BERLIN, via Ixmdon. July 11. Re peated attacks by the British and Krench troops on the Somme front have failed to win the German posi tions against which they were directed, says the War Office announcement to day. It follows: ""Between the Ancre and the Somme, the British launched attacks with strong forces during the afternoon and right. Over a wide front on both sides of the Bapaume-Albert road and north west of this road they were shot down before the attack came to close fight ing. East of the road stubborn fight ing developed on the southern fringe of the village of Contalmaison and on the fringe of Mametz wood. British Lose 100 Prisoners. . "Repeated attempts by the enemy to recapture Trones wood failed with heavy and sanguinary losses. He also lost 100 prisoners. "South of the Somme a. vigorous at tack by French black troops against I.a Maisonette Height was met by an overpowering fire. The few colored troops who penetrated our lines fell at the point of German bayonets or were taken prisoner. "As a result of counter attacks yes terday against Barleux five officers and 147 men remained in our hands. There was important artillery fighting throughout the whole sector. Our curtain of fire checked all attempts by the enemy to attack between Belloy and Hardecourt. Cjas Attacks VnHucceMsful. "Lively artillery duels occurred in the region of the Meuse. On the re mainder of the front there was in creased artilery action at places. The enemy made several unsuccessful gas attacks. Patrol and reconnoitering de tachments of our enemies were re pulsed everywhere. Near Leintrey in Lorraine a German detachment, after an extensive mine explosion, pene trated a badly damaged French posi tion and took 60 men prisoner. South of Lusse some prisoners were brought In by a patrol. "There was great activity in the aerial service and numerous encounters occurred in which the enemy lost two machines on the Somme and two west of Vouziers. A British biplane was shot down by anti-aircraft guns near Courcelette, on the Bapaume-Albert road." GETS TAFT PLEA Prrmissiox to aid folk cox ol'ered bv teutons asked. No Reply Made to Promise That Red Cross. Would See That o Sup plies Go to Military. WASHINGTON'. July 11. The Ameri can Red Cross -made public today a let ter from William H. Taft, chairman of the society's central committee, which lias been forwarded by the State De partment to the British Foreign Office, asking that a Red Cross commission be permitted to go into territory con trolled by the Teutonic allies and dis tribute relief supplies. The British Government is barring such supplies now on the ground that withdrawal of the Red Cross Hospital units has left no distributing agency to insure that consignments are not put to military use. Mr. Taft's letter pledges the faith of the Red Cross that the proposed commission, names of whose 'members would be submitted to the British gov v eminent in advance, would see that the supplies went for relief purposes only. The foreign office has not replied. nounced today that an Austrian cruiser had sunk four or five British, armored patrol-boats. Only nine men from the British vessels were rescued. The an nouncement follows: "Our cruiser Novara met a group of four, or, according- to the declarations of prisoners, five armored British, patrol-boats off Otrantp road (at the lower end of the Adriatic). All ' the patrol-boats were destroyed by artil lery fire. All the steamy-s sank in flames, three of them - after the ex plosion of their boilers. The Novara was able to rescue only nine members of the British crews." The Novara is a scout cruiser of 3384 tons displacement. She has fig ured in several engagements in the Adriatic.

(Via wireless to Sayville.) The Austrian Admiralty an. Third Oregon Mar Be Consolidated With. Othera Unless Full War Strength Is Obtained. Captain K. P. Williams, chief mus tering officer for the State of Oregon, has again taken up -with Governor Wthycombe the question of filling the Third Oregon to full war strength. Colonel Clenard McLaughlin, now In charge of the Third Oregon has tele graphed Captain Williams to send the urgently needed men to him soon as possible. Governor Wlthycombe ordered Acting Adjutant-General Wilson to co operate further in recruiting Oregon's quota to full war strength. .. , To this end offices will be opened at the Armory. The office will be open from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. Upon accept ance by Sergeant Hathaway the men will be .sent to " Clackamas at which point they will be fully clothed and equipped and partake of the excellent mess while awaiting the short interval before they will be sent to the Third Oregon for actual duty. unless the urgently needed 700 men are soon forthcoming there is a likeli hood of Federal authorities consolidat ing the Third Oregon Infantry now at the front into two battalions. The Southern Pacific and O.-W. K. & N. have made arrangements to take such care of their employes who enlist that they will suffer practically no monetary loss by giving their services to their country. The telegraph and telephone com panies have also made similar arrange ments as have practically all the larger Portland firms. The first men to be sent South will leave from Clackamas as soon as an ad ditional 100 men are recruited. BOND SUBSCRIPTION DENIED It. A. Booth Says Interest in Stra- horn Project Is Passive. EUGENE.

', We have not been asked to buy bonds of the Stra horn line. -1 However, we,- are very much interested in the project, and consider it a matter of greater moment to Ore gon than anything that has been pre sented to it in many years."

"IT GOES WELL," SAYS FOCH , Tide or Soldiery and War Material Still Flows Toward New Front. Prisoners Tell of Amaze ment at Attack. PRESS CAMP, British Army in Prance. July 9. via London, July 11. "It goes well," said General Foch. re ceiving the Associated press corre spondent, who came across from the British lines to see something of the French part in the battle of the Somme. "It goes well!" was the phrase heard from French officers and soldiers. General Foch's quickness and deci sion of manner singularfly expresses the French spirit. While France was withstanding the blows of Germans at Verdun and all the world looked in that direction, he was secretly preparing a sledge-hammer blow in conjunction with the British In that part of the line hitherto conspicuous for its quiet. "We were here, and we went there, gaining more prisoners than our total losses," he said, as turning to a map on the wall of his headquarters, with a gesture toward the map that represent ed a depth of four miles, the largest gain the .French "have made on the western front since the trench war fare began. "There is more to come," he added. Sheila Stacked Everywhere. Big guns, which were silent, and other guns, slowly grumbling, were drawn forward by big tractors along routes thick with traffic. Railway trains were unloading more shells at the bases; shells were bein stacked beside the roads and in the fields; new roads were building; lines of light rail way were being extended. There was the same scene of prodigious industry as back of Verdun, but this time, in stead of being on the defensive, it was overflowing on ground taken in the offensive. "Are we downhearted? No," called a soldier in good English. The supply of shells was kept on top. Bearded veterans were using the debris left by the Germans to make themselves comfortable or to secure their new trenches. "Yes. I speak English." said an offi cer. "I came from New York. Who was saying that France had no punch left well, what do you think of this?" Some four or five hundred prisoners, taken the previous night and waiting to be marched to the railroad station, were human lumps of utter exhaustion, asleep on the ground. All expressed the same astonishment that the French should develop such a sudden and de termined attack in that quarter. They had understood that only the British were to attack. Parked nearby were 33 guns, all taken by the colonial troops, which had already put Its name and the date of the capture on the trophies. One must have beeh a piece of honor, for It bore the German Emperor's monogram. Four six-inch rifles were more prized than this, and others, of field gun caliber, most commented on. were four French guns taken by the Germans at Mau beuge, now retaken and to serve France again. Across battered first line trenches through the ruins of Dompierre a good sized village reduced and broken to bricks and dust, where many German dead were still visible in cellars and underground warrens, the tide of sol diery and material was still flowing up to the new front. The country is flat, preventing a many observation posts and commanding redoubts as where the British attacked around Albert, and permitting the sweep of infantry across the fields once it had a start. U-LINER PEACEFUL SHIP had charge of tha examination, failed to notify him that the Navy officers were coming. When they arrived at the pier of the Deutschland. in a tug. Captain Koenig was at the offices of his agents and the subordinate officer In command declined to allow the col lector to bring his party aboard with out the consent of his superior. This Captain Koenig freely gave when in formed by telephone. Captain Hughes and his assistants, Lieutenant J. O. Fisher, of the Bureau of Steam Engineering, and Naval Con structor Herbert S. Howard, spent more than two hours In the vessel. Captain Hughes declined to discuss what he had seen, but he said not only did the young officer, who escorted them through the boat, freely answer all questions, but even volunteered infor mation. "He was proud of his vessel and I do not blame him," said Captain Hughes. "It is a wonderful piece of mechanism and a monument to German inventive genius." Deputy Surveyor. Hayward. who also was one of the party, said that the American experts seemed to be amased at what they saw. "It 'was all Greek to me." said Mr. Hayward. "but the Navy engineers ap peared almost dumbfounded. They were highly enthusiastic and were con tinually ejaculating." Captain Koenig meanwhile was tak ing luncheon at a hotel with a party of officials of the North German Lloyd, German-Americans of local prominence and their wives. He sat at the head of the table, was on his feet instantly when the orchestra played "Die Wacht am Rhine" and arose no less quickly when the "Star-Spangled Banner" was played as the next selection. The Deutschland began today unload ing her cargo of dyestuffs. This task probably will be completed on Thurs day, after which she will begin to take on her cargo of nickel and rub ber for return to Germany. - The agents of the craft said today that the cargo had been consigned "to order" and would be delivered to con cerns who presented bills of lading. How these documents reached this country, without falling into the hands of the British they declined to explain. The interned German steamship Neckar was towsd up close to the Deutschland today and will serve as quarters for the crew of the subma rine while In port. The report from abroad todav indi cating that the Bremen had left Ger many prior to the Deutschland and was now long overdue was denied at the North German Lloyd offices here. It was asserted that the Deutschland was the first to leave. Rio Janeiro Expects Sister XJ-Boat. LONDON, July 11. A report that a sister ship to the German commercial submarine Deutschland will arrive at Rio Janeiro within 10 days is con tained In a dispatch from the Brazil ian city from a correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company.

A striking map of the British front The line is a wavering one. It Is not the same one day after another, for the dispatches all agree that the battle now raging between the British and the Germans and the French and the Germans is a battle of give and take. Successes of one day are offset by failures the next. Neither British- nor Germans are holding for long the ground they are taking from each other; but on the whole the' allies ap pear to have made an actual and an Important advance in their latest offen sive. . RETUItX VOYAGE IS PLANNED Deutschland Proved Unfitted, for In stallation of Torpedo Tubes. BALTIMORE. July 11. Confident that the efforts of the diplomatic rep resentatives of the entente allies to have his vessel classed as a warship and Interned will prove unavailing. Captain Paul Koenig, master of the German submarine Deutschland, is pre paring to leave port on his return voy age within 10 days. Captain Koenig expressed satisfac tion tonight when informed that three American Naval officers, who today inspected the Deutschland to determine her status, had reported in effect that not only was she an unarmed merchant vessel now, but was so constructed that she could not be converted into a war- craft without practically being rebuilt. Captain Koenig said he could only re iterate, that the Deutschland, like other submarines built or building for Ger many's new underseas merchant fleet, was designed solely as a. freight car rier. At least eight of these vessels, it was authoritatively learned here today, now are building , at Kiel, and with these. in addition to the Deutschland, and the Bremen, already en route for an Ameri can port. Germany expects in a measure to re-establish her lost commerce and mail communication with the rest of the world. The view here Is that no such project would have been under taken had not the German interests be hind it' been thoroughly satisfied that the status of the vessels was unques tionable. The torpedo being a submarine's es sentia! weapon to make her effective as a warcraft. It was the possibility that the Deutschland might be pierced for torpedo tubes that was the chief concern of the American naval officers, headed by Captain C. F. Hughes, who inspected the vessel today. Not only were none found, but an examination of the forward part of the vessel's hull, where torpedo tubes naturally would be placed, revealed, it was learned, that the structure was not substantial enough to contain them. Before the Deutschland could be armed like a Gorman naval submarine, entire re conduction forward would be neces sary. Thic fact was sufficient, in the minds of the American experts, to war rant their decision that the Deutsch and could -in no wise be considered a war vessel. The possibility that guns could be mounted on her superstructure was understood to have been considered also. But there were .neither guns nor emplacements in evidence. Captain Hughes and his associates had the entire freedom of the ship and there was no space within the interior that they did not explore. The Deutxeh land's commander was not present dur ing the examination, as Collector of the Port Ryan, who, as represontative of the Treasury Department, officially Time and Place of Notification Cere mony and Speech of Acceptance Also to Be Considered. BRIDGEHAMPTON, N. Y.. July 11. unanes m. Hughes will go to New York tomorrow morning for a series of im portant conferences .with party lead ers. The time and place of holding the notification ceremony, the speech of ac ceptance., the contemplated trip to the Pacific Coast and the nominee's Ideas in general as to the campaign will be discussed. An early meeting with the ntewly appointed campaign committee also will be arranged. Mr. Hushes expects to see Senator Harding, chairman of the notification committee, within a few days, possibly tomorrow, to fix definitely the plans for the notification ceremony, tenta tively set for July 31. The ceremony will take place in New York. The nominee also will discuss with Chairman Wilcox of the National com mittee and other advisers his plans, so far as they have matured, for the trip West. There, are many details yet to settle concerning this trip. Including tne piace wnere Mr. Hughes will spend his expected fortnight of mountain climbing. Within the past week almost every mall has brought invitations for the nominee to spend his vacation at West ei i resorts. More man so communi ties have written of their attractions, and scores of other have requested that they be included on his itinerary. Mr. Hughes has not decided definitely wnere ne wjji go. but prefers the Northwestern Rockies. SWIFTS VISIT IN OREGON RANCH HOLDINGS IS HARNEY COU5TY TO BE ISSPECTED. Tracts May Be Cat Into Farms and Col onised 20,000 Mexican Cattle to Be Ranged. ONTARIO. Or.. July 11. (Special.) Edward F. Swift and Carlton B. Swift, of Chicago, were in Ontario today on their way to visit the holdings of Swift &. Co., in Harney County, for merly the P. and Double O ranches and the Blitzen Valley Company's land. They were accompanied by Frank Don nelly, of Chicago, and Senator P. J. Jensen, of Beatrice, Neb., associated with them In the Eastern Oregon Live stock company. Edward Swift indicated In conversa tion that'part of the land which has Its own irrigation system may be cut up into smaller ranches and .colonized. Whether this would be done or whether It would all be stocked with cattle on a larger scale has been debated here and in Harney County ever since the transfer of the property several months ago. but a largo part of this immense range will continue to be used for graz ing purposes. Last week the first shipment of 20, 000 Mexican cattle was received here for the ranches from Arizona and Tex as. The Swifts hope to secure from them a breed of cattle better adapted for Eastern Oregon range conditions than the present native stock. William Craven, who recently suc ceeded William Hanley as superintend ent of the land, is now on the ground. n m B B H a B n a a a n n H H a B M H Store Opens Daily at 8:30 A. M. Saturdays at 9 A. M.
