NOOSE ON G0K1BLES
IS DRAWN CLOSER
French Completely Isolate
Town, Which Is Not Yet
Entirely Surrounded.
GERMANS ABANDON VERDUN
Crown Prince Retains Only Frag
ment of Army, "While Others
Go to Somme British About
to Open New Drive.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
(War Correspondent for the New York Tri
bune. By Special Cable.)
LONDON. Sept. 14. (Special.) The
French drew the noose closer around
Combles today. Directly east of this
strongly fortified town they enlarged
their positions and to the southeast
they carried the farm of Le Priez,
which the Germans had organized into
a stronghold guarding Combles on the
flank. . , , j
Combles is now completely isolated,
although as yet it is not surrounded.
The British are striving to close the
loop on the north by pushing forward
from Ginchy. but their task is arduous.
They made some progress today, but
they have still to conquer a mile of
strongly fortified terrain.
Road to Peronne Cut Off.
All communications with Peronne
have now been cut. The French grip
on the national highway from Bapaume
to Peronne has cut it off on the north,
while on the south the railway to
Chaulnes has been breached. All the
roads leading to Combles and Peronne
are now raked by the allied guns.
The Germans made several furious
efforts last night and today to loosen
the French hold on .the Peronne-Ba-paume
road. These counter-blows cen
tered around Bouchavesnes, a bastion
on the defense line guarding the road.
But in the face of all these assaults
the French maintained their gains.
German Couiiter-Artacks Fall.
From their positions on the highway
the French can force a wedge far east
of both Peronne and Baupaume and
then, widening it by steady strokes,
pocket both towns and so force their
evacuation. That explains the fury of
the German counter-attacks.
Unquestionably the Germans exhaust
ed every effort in these counter-strokes,
but they could not make them tell.. For
the efforts they mustered every avail
able man. The last significant feature
of the fighting -was the fact that the
Germans transferred a division from
Verdun to take part in the assault.
Military opinion here interprets this
move as evidence that the seven months'
battle at Verdun has come to an end
and that the Germans concede defeat.
The Crown Prince, under Von Hinden
burg's division of the west front, is
still in command on the Verdun front.
But most of his reserves have been
drafted for service along the Somme.
British Attncls Expected. -
With the exception of small gains
around Ginchy. the British forces north
of the Somme have been inactive. Lon
don does not believe that this lull will
continue much longer. With the Ger
man line battered by the repeated
French blows, the time has come for
the British to renew the attack.
Before Haig can hope for success in
the effort toward Bapaume, Combles
must be captured. This town Is the
eastern extremity of the plateau which
extends oil the way to Bapaume. Once
it falls, the position further east will
be dominated by the allied guns and
the way will be open to begin a flank
ing movement against the stronghold.
TAFT ATTACKS DEMOCRATS
Xeed of Consistent Policy at End of
War Is Cited.
NEW YORK. Sept. 14. In his first
campaign utterance in a letter to the
Hughes National College League, made
public here today, William H. Taft at
tacked the present Administration.
"There are so many reasons why
Mr. Wilson should not be continued at
the head of the Administration," the
ex-President wrote, "that some import
ant ones are apt to be forgotten In
their multiplicity. It is of the highest
importance that in the critical issues
that are to be met in connection with
the ending of the war we should have
a consistent and intelligible policy of
a constructive and courageous nature
and this cannot be predicted on a con
tinued Democratic Administration."
William R. Willcox, Republican Na
tional chairman, announced today that
an October speaking tour was being
arranged for Mr. Taft.
RUSSIAN PLANE BOMBARDS
Giant Murometz Machine Destroys
Eight German Attackers.
LONDON. Sept. 14. A Reuter dis
patch from Petrograd eays that four
feiam. Russian aeroplanes of the Muro
metz type bombarded a German sea
plane station on Lake Angern. in the
Gulf of Riga, where 17 seaplanes of
various sizes and models were dis
cerned. The Russians dropped 73
bombs, with resultant fire and smoke
which concealed the seaplane sheds.
Eight German machines attacked
the Russian machines, but were put
to flight. Not less than eight German
machines were destroyed or put out of
action. The Russian aeroplanes re
turned safely, notwithstanding they
were shelled by anti-aircraft guns.
On a previous occasion, the corre
spondent says, one Murometz machine,
with a crew of five, routed seven Ger
man seaplanes which attacked it.

BATTERY IS ON EDGE
Mexican Holidays Cause Tense
Feeling at Calexico.
RUM RULES OVER BORDER
Heavy Penalties Threatened for All
Who Cross Lino Troops Get
Real Ammunition and Pre
pare for Eventualities.
CALEXICO, Cat, Sept. 14. (Special.)
With the Mexican national holidays
at hand tomorrow nd Saturday, the
preparedness net has been drawn
tighter by Battery A. A new issue of
ammunition has been received, out
posts strengthened and a provost guard
of one man from each unit stationed
here has been established. At this
time of the year business of every kind
comes to a halt, while joy runs ram
pant and Old Demon Rum rules with a
lavish hand in Mexican. Shooting af
frays are common occurrences, and the
streets, in ordinary times a place to
be treaded with care, become almost
a sea of intoxicated humanity.
Every precaution has been taken by
the post commander to prevent com
plications of any kind. One step has
been reinforcement of the "six sixty"
six months In prison and $60 fine for
crossing over in civilian dress. This
rule, for some time considered a dead
letter, was ordered to be enforced last
night. Commissioned officers .and en
listed men alike are affected. This
move is generally considered the only
possible method of preventing the men
from participating in the dangerous
revelry.
Hn Are on Edge.
While its brothers in the Third Ore
gon today are reported to be parad
ing before throngs of admirers, the
battery has lengthened its time of drill,
and the dummy shells usually carried
at such times have been supplanted
by real ammunition. In fact, every
lighting force is on edge to meet any
artillery and infantry firing, as well
as mining activity. The enemy at
tempted to advance at some points and
was repulsed by our fire.
"Two Italian battalions, one Bquad
ron of cavalry and one battery ad
vanced In the direction of Butkova and
Diuma. Our detachments attacked
them energetically and put them to
flight. The enemy retired and was pur
sued by our troops. We captured one
officer and 87 men. This was our sec
ond encounter with Italians."
Turkish.
CONSTANTINOPLE, via London, Sept.
14. Turkish forces have checked the
Russian offensive in the Ognott sector
of Turkish Armenia, according to a
War Office statement dated Septem
ber 12. ,
"Caucasus 'front On the right wing
we repulsed an enemy attack in the
Ognott sector. Two enemy attacks on
September 10 prepared for by artillery
fire were repulsed. Enemy troops en
deavoring to approach our positions
were scattered by gunfire and suffered
extraordinary losses. The number of
officers and men captured on September
9 in the Kighi sector is still increasing.
"On the left wing during skirmishes
which resulted in our favor, we cap
tured prisoners, arms and equipment.
"Gallcian front In close quarters en
counters on September 7, we captured
three officers and more than 400 Rus
sian soldiers."
Italian.
ROME, via London, Sept. 14. The of
ficial communication today dealing with
the operations against the Austrians
says:
"Our troops succeeded in taking some
important positions in the Zara Valley
in the Posina sector and on Monte La
gazuoi in the Travenanzis Boite Valley.
"At the head of the Felizon Valley
the enemy attacked in force one of
our advanced posts on Panta del Foame
and compelled it to fall back about 100
meters.
"On the evening of Wednesday, after
violent artillery fire, the enemy at
tacked our position on Slatenl on the
Upper Isonzo, and between Volzana and
Cemponl, southwest of Tolmino, but
were repulsed with losses."
Thursday's War Moves
TJESET by British on the west and
-1 French on the east. Combles. in
the Somme region, is on the verge of
capture.
With the British firmly established
less than a mile from the western out
skirts of the village, the French a
mile to the east of it, have driven their
wedge in farther and captured Le Priez
farm. The farm was taken by assault.
-Along the Peronne-Betfcune road to
the north and south of Bouchavesnes
the Germans, according to Paris, have
vainly attacked the newly-won French
poeitions in the hope of regaining their
transport line to the north.
Except for reciprocal bombardments
and a slight advance by the French by
means of bombing attacks near Belloy
en-Santerre south of the Somme. the
situation elsewhere on the front in
France and Belgium remains un
changed.
Teutonic allies are continuing their
advance on the Dobrudja sector of
Roumania, according to Berlin and So
fia.
In Transylvania Roumanians have at
tacked east and west of Hermannstadt,
but were repulsed, says the Vienna War
Office.
In the Carpathians Russians attacked
at Smotrec, Ludova and Kapul. Their
etforts to drive forward, however, were
stopped with sanguinary losses, accord
ing to Vienna.
On the Macedonian front heavy fight
ing has taken place, but with the re
sults beclouded. The Serbs in the Lake
Ostrov region are declared by Paris
to have made appreciable progress
while Berlin and Sofia mention gains
for neither side. On the front where
the Italians are facing the Bulgarians
Sofia asserts that the Italians have been
put to flight. In the Doiran region
the British have taken a Teutonic po
sition north of the town of Mucukovo.
Although it had been stated previ
ously that the Greek forts at Kavala
were evacuated by the Bulgarians. Ber
lin says they are all in the hands of
the Bulgars and that the Greek troops
which were at Kavala have been sent
to Germany, where they will remain
until the end of the war "in the status
of the neutrals."
In the Austro-Italian theater the
usual bombardments and isolated In
fantry attacks continue.

SERBS BEND BACK
BULGARIAN LINES
British Join French in Stroke
in Vardar Valley, Winning
Ground in Dorian Sector.
GERMANS SEIZE KAVALA
Greek Factions Divided and Entry
Into War Becomes Question,
Dimitracopulos Seeming to
Be Playing for Time.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
(War Correspondent for the New York
a'rlbune. By Special Cable.)
LONDON, Sept. 14. (Special) While
the Serbs are forging slowly ahead In
a violent battle on the left wing of
the allied front in Macedonia, the Brit
ish have joined the French in a stroke
up the Vardar Valley. They won con
siderable ground southwest of Doiran,
wiping out a salient the Bulgars had
driven into their line.
King Peter's troops continued th3
assault today, attacking heavily along
the whole front. After capturing at
the point of the bayonet Bulgarian
trenches between Kovel and Veterenik,
they carried all of the first line. North
east of Lake Ostrovo the Kerbs seized
an important strategic height after
fierce fighting.
Teutonle Allies Sterne Kavala.
Meanwhile the Bulgarians and the
Germans, with their flank protected, by
the withdrawal of the British forces
behind the Struma, have advanced to
the Aegean and taken possession of
all Kavala. Berlin reports that an en
tire Greek army corps, seeking pro
tection against the allied pressure, has
been transported from that port to
Germany.
Thus the situation in Greece has be
come more muddled than ever. The
Greek troops in Macedonia have al
ready split into two factions, one in
sistent that neutrality must be malW
tained and the other declaring openly
for the allies. The corps carried off
to Germany was of the former class,
while the allies' warships have re
moved to Thasos 1500 of their sympa
thizers who fled Kavala when the Bul
gars entered. The diplomatic situation
reflects the puzzle of the military
status. The continued advance of the
Bulgars and Germans undoubtedly will
arouse more feeling for the entente.
Stage Set for Greece's Entry.
The stage, tc all outward signs. Is
set for Greek participation in the war
on the side of the allies. But changes
are taking place so quickly at Athens
that until sentiment crystallizes such
action may de delayed.
M. Dimitracopulos. to whom the pre
miership was offered, is gauging the
sun carefully before he consents to
organize a new ministry. He has asked
King Constantine for 48 hours in which
to consult his friends and the entente
Ministers.
With the example of Zalmis before
him, M. Dimitracopulos is not inclined
to take any hasty steps. He wants to
be sure of his ground, for Zalmis found
the situation had slipped beyond his
control.
Dimitracopulos has demanded full
power over the national policy as a
condition of his acceptance. In this
power he asks is included the freedom
to enter the war if he decides thai
the step has become desirable.
Roumanians Striking Hard.
The continued advance of the Rou
manians has added to the tensity of
the situation in Greece. The belief is
held by many at Athens that the time
for Greece to strike was when Rou
mania entered the war. Dimitracopulos
is reported to have expressed this
view openly only recently.
In the Dobrudja, where no word has
come of the Russians for several days,
the air of mystery was lifted slightly
today. The Roumanians are evidently
making a strong counter attack at &11-
istria, where fighting still continues
on the southern bank of the Danube.
This counter blow has halted Mack
ensen's advance for the present, and
1he threat of a Bulgar advance toward
Bucharest apparently is ended. The
Roumanians in this sector seem to bs
holding their own against the Turks
and the Germans.
DOUGLAS FAIR PRAISED
QUALITY OK EXHIBITS SAID TO BE)
HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE.
Races Eliminated for Klrwt Time and
Entertainment Features Are
Less Numerous.
ROSEBURG. Or., Sept. 14. (Special.)
Quality is the predominating factor
in this year s county fair exhibits and
this extends to every department. Al
though the main pavilion is not so
completely filled as in some former
years, the quality of . the products
shown has never been excelled here.
The list of varieties is extensive, espe
cially in fruits and vegetables, while
the grains and grasses are less profuse
ly represented than in some former
fairs. The fancy work and art de
partments, as well as the domeatio
science, each have splendid exhibits.
The granges of the county are rep
resented by tine displays, there being
four competitive exhibits In the big
tent especially provided for this pur
pose. The granges represented are:
Rescue, of Looking Glass; Evergreen,
of Green; Melrose and South 'Deer
Creek. The Glendale and Yoncalla ex
hibits at their local fairs were not
brought here, because the people there
are in the midst of their prune har
vest. The showing made by the industrial
clubs of the public schools of the coun
ty is . universally pronounced the
largest and best ever shown in this
county.
The fair began Wednesday morning
and will continue until Friday night.
This year's event is unlike many fairs
held previously in Douglas County, for
the reason that the races and many of
the entertainment features have been
eliminated.

War, Says French Premier.
NEW LOAN IS AUTHORIZED

Turkey, Each in Its Turn, Cliam
' ber of Deputies Is Told.
Progress Is Satisfactory.
PARIS. Sept. 14 In addressing the
Chamber .of Deputies on the military
and diplomatic situation. Premier
Briand today laid stress on the close
co-operation among the entente allies.
The Premier reviewed the circum
stances leading up to the two most
recent important developments of the
war, Roumania's declaration of war
against Austria and Italy's declaration
of war on Germany, and declared
"Thus again confirmation is given of
the determination to practice more in
timately each day unity of action along
the united front.
"The allies, pulling their efforts In
common, combining and co-orainating
them in close collaboration, have de
termined upon an evolution of the war
along these lines. The Germanio
empires find themselves reduced to the
defensive. The Initiative of the opera
tions has escaped them."
After a reference to the natural rea
sons for Roumanian Intervention, Pre-
mire Briand referred to the army at
Saloniki as follows:
"In close union with our efforts, the
armies of Saloniki will fulfill the mis
sion confided to them. Already on that
front, as on others, the action is de
veloping according to the plans of the
general staffs. The action of the allies
will be developed in all ways necessary
to dissipate the Oriental dream of the
central empires.
"Even this will follow its inexor-
