THE. MORN'INC OEEGOXIAN. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1917. BERLIN CONSIDERS REPLY DIGNIFIED Press Points Out Conservative Tone of Kaiser's Note to Pope Pius. LONDON SEES HYPOCRISY British Paper Declare Germany Realizes Impending Disaster and Rain Sure to Follow America's Entry in War. (B13RLIK. Sept. 22. It is generally pointed out by the Berlin press that Germany's reply to the papal peace proposals impresses by virtue of its digrnified tone and spirit in contradic tion to President Wilson's reply to the Pope and also on account of the ab sence of all illiflcation of Germany's enemies. The Liberal press is especially Jubil ant because the government unreserv edly has brought itself into harmony with the Reichstagr peace resolution. Pan-German and ultra-Conservative newspapers, with one exception, are un expectedly moderate in their comment. The Zeitung Ammittaar says: It must be admitted that the Ger man reply heaps fiery coals on the heads of our enemies. After President Wilson's nastiness and the presumption of the French Foreign Minister, M. Kibot, and his followers we have here a document which, marked by dignity and reserve, is alone dictated by an appreciation of the brotherhood of men." Several newspapers concur in stating that the omission of direct reference to Belgium amply Is atoned for in the official admission that the government approves of the Pope's mediation, and, as a further circumstance, that this much-moot point Is accounted for in the acceptance of the Reichstag's action of July 13. LONDON, Sept. 24. The London morning papers are almost unanimous regarding the replies of the central empires to the Pope as vague, hypo critical and hopeless, and all the more reason why the war should be prose cuted to certain victory. The Laily Mail declares that the ob ject of the new German maneuvers is clear, that the enemy fears Field Marshal Haigs victorious troops and the future appearance of a great Am erican army in France. "Above all," continues the paper, "he fears that the allies, stirred to en ergy by President Wilson, will at last apply commercial and economical pres sure, which. If properly utilized, might long since have brought the Hohen xollern system down to ruin. "With the Hohenzollerns and the gang of militarists around them no lionest abiding peace can be made." The Express, under the caption, "The Mad Dog of Europe," declares that Germany no longer hopes for victory and foresees after the war the crea tion of a league rf nations from which she will be excluded, adding: "Germany's reply to the Pope in ef fect is a bid for membership in the league of nations. It must be useless to bid. Treaties gained by a Ilohen sollern must remain scraps of paper until the end of time." MAGAZINE MAKES CHANGE Journal of Society of Engineers to Be Published Monthly. Beginning with the current Issue of the Journal of the Society of Engi neers, that little publication, which is devoted to the interests of engineers and contractors, will become a month ly instead of & quarterly publication, as in the past. The Journal of the Society of Engi neers is published in Portland. Its spe cial articles by experts in the engineer ing world deal with the great engineer ing problems of the day. Progress of the War. IX none of the battle areas of Europe has there been any marked activity in the last 24 hours. A momentary lull appears to have settled upon the fighting operations in Flanders, on the Aisne and at Verdun, and along the Isonzo. Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, finding his efforts to dislodge the Brit ish from their recent gains in the Ypres salient ineffectual, has ceased bis in fantry attacks and resorted to artil lery. The British are resting after their ef- 3SSZ Every Earner should save, for the time will surely come when his earn ing power will slacken and his needs, no doubt, be greater.

Northeast of Gouzeaucourt, between Arras an.1 St. Quentin, the British carried a success ful raid into the German trenches. On the rest of the western front, the French and Germans have been con tent to bombard each other. The artil lery activity is reported violent along the Aisne front and northwest of Ver dun in the region of Hill 304. Berlin reports reconnoitering engagements on this portion of the front, but no action of moment. Having captured the Jacobstadt bridgehead, south of Riga, and forced the Russians to retire to the right bank of the Dvina for some distance north and south of the bridgehead, the Germans have halted their advance here. Petrograd reports the Russians entrenched on the right bank of the Dvina and bombarding the Germans in their new positions. Toward Riga the Russians Saturday drove back Ger man advance guards near Rudna. General Cadorna, in his report on op erations in the region northeast of Gorizia, chronicles the repulse of ad ditional Austro-Hungarian attacks on the Bainaizza plateau. In the region of Monte Marmolado. northwest of Trent, the Italians, after exploding a mine, captured two advance positions from the Austro-Hungarians. Argentina probably will not declare war on Germany at this time, although no decision has yet been reached. Ac tion by the Argentine Chamber of Dep uties was halted early Sunday by the announcement that an official commu nication had been received from the Berlin foreign office disapproving of the Ideas expressed by Count Von Lux burg, the German Minister to Argen tina, in the telegrams he sent to Berlin through the Swedish Minister at Bue nos Aires. THEATER LIKE WAITING EXTHVSIASTS BEGIN WATCH 4 HOURS AHEAD. Seats Reserved for Entire Season by Oae Appearance ud BO Were In Group Last Xlsnt. The Baker season seat sale opens to morrow morning at 9 o'clock and as this is an all-important event among regular stock patrons there will doubt less be a long line at the box office tonight to secure their seats covering the entire season, which opens next Sunday. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the line started to fprm and gradually grew all day until last night at least 50 were gathered in the line of the lobby to hold their places. They ex pect to be relieved by others of their family or friends and thus hold) their positions until the office opens Tuesday morning. They are about equally di vided between men and women. The system of holding these season locations is one that has a strong ap peal to the public, as having once se cured them no more trouble and no extra expense is required. They -are simply laid aside in the holder's name every week for the performance de sired and held until a specified time, thereby obviating the necessity of or dering and taking chances of getting good seats each week. No mail orders will be filled until the line breakB, and telephone orders must also wait their turn until those at the window have been served. This annual custom has long been a feature of the Baker sea son. The new season opens next Sun day. The first offering will be George M. Cohan's famous success, "Hit the Trail Holliday," and it will be followed by a long list of new and important productions, many of which have never been seen here. RICH FAMILY RECEIVES MR. AND MRS.

Rule Agalust Persona Entering; and LesTlas Durtnc Playtnsr of Numbers Is Approved. William R. Boone, organist in the First Church of Christ. Scientist, gave a splendid pipe organ recital yesterday In the Public Auditorium, and was greeted cordially by a large audience. He played with good knowledge of the capabilities of the pipe organ on which he gave the recital, and brought to his work fine sympathy and taste. His selections were from the compositions of Faulkes, Spinney. Pierne. Boellmann. Wagner, Xevin. Handel. Durand and Berlioz. These selections were for full organ, and displayed also the soft reg isters. It was pleasing to note this message at the foot of the programme: "Patrons will not be seated during the playing of a number and are requested not to leave the Auditorium except during intermission." Formerly people at tending these recitals entered and went out of the building at will and dis turbed the rendition of the music. The organist next Sunday at the Auditorium will be Mrs. Gladys Morgan Farmer. Fourteen Taken in Raid. Fourteen men were arrested ' last night in a raid on an alleged gambling game at 33 North Fourth street by Patrolmen Elliott and O'Halloran. John Docos was charged with conduct RUSSIAN REVOLT IS LAID TO KERENSKY March on Petrograd Said to Have Been Planned With Korniloff Beforehand. PREMIER MAY BE OUSTED Opposition Parties Demanding Ex planations and Charge Is Made Conspiracy Was Aimed to Crnsb Workmen's Delegates. PETROGRAD, Sept. 22. The contro versy over the source of the recent Korniloff rebellion has proved to be the sensation of the day. Petrograd newspapers publish columns of revela tions and interviews with the chief actors In the revolt, and. while much Is Inexplicable, it is agreed that negotia tions between ' Premier Kerensky and General Korniloff for the establish ment of a strong government at Petro grad preceded the rebellion. The march of General Kornlloffs troops to ward Petrograd Is said to have been part of a scheme. The Russkla Volya said the revela tions had made an overwhelming im pression on the members of the govern ment who were not initiated In the plan and that these ministers were awaiting Premier Kerensky's explana tion. General Savlnkoff, ex-director of the War Department and later com mander of the Petrograd troops sent against General Korniloff, declares that he was dispatched to General Kornil off by Premier Kerensky, who had re solved to proclaim martial law, with a mission to ask the Russian commander- in-chief to send to Petrograd a cavalry corps and the "savage" division under command of a General other than Gen eral Krymoff, who was in bad political repute. General Korniloff broke the agreement by sending both Krymoff and the "savage" division toward the capital. The Korniloff mystery has developed dimensions which threaten the exist ence of the Cabinet, particularly the position of Premier Kerensky. The newspapers representing the Left and Right parties demand an explana tion from the government, while the Bolshevlkl organs openly accuse the Premier, in the words of the Nabotchl Poot, of being in a conspiracy with Korniloff "to crush the Petrograd pro letariat and the workmen's and sol diers' delegates with the help of cav alry corps sent against Petrograd." The newspaper asks why. if the pub lished documents are forged, no denial has been Issued. The Bolsheviki group in the bureau of the central workmen's and soldiers' delegates has carried by an overwhelm ing majority a resolution demanding an explanation. Premier Kerensky has Issued an or der of the day praising the services of General Alexieff in suppressing the Korniloff revolt without bloodshed and for re-establishing order and normal activity in the headquarters staff. The Premier accepts General Alexieff s res- gnatlon, but places the General at the disposal of the government, so as not to lose the aid of his experience in the conduct of military affairs. General Douckonine, chief of staff to the commander on the western front. has been appointed chief of staff to the commander-in-chief of the Russian armies.

SALEM, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Governor Withycombe bas set aside Tuesday, October 9, as Fire Prevention day, and issued the following; procla mation. In which he urgres every school of the state to hold appropriate exer cises and every loyal citizen to observe the day by cleaning- up his premises: Whereas. Oregon this year stands with her sister states of the Union, facing the most stupendous conflict In the history of the world. We have given our sons until we have earned the proud title of "Oregon First" We stand ready to give our prod ucts until we too, in this regard have earned an equal rank, and Whereas. There is no treason as great ss the treason of waste. Pood destroyed is lost. Restitution is not subs Li tut ion. The loss of the contents of a barn or a ware house by fire is a greater blow to our al lies than the loss of a line of trenches. Factories must have raw materials; loss by fire Is an evil that checlLs our resources at their source; and Whereas. There is a grave danger this year In the need of the times that we sacri fice safety for speed; that tn the law of production we forget the law of protection. Oregon's fire record in the past Is not an enviable one. The year 1916 shows a loss to the state of almost $4,000,000. Of this waste. 19.3 per cent was by fires that were strictly preventable: 31.6 per cent was by fires partially preventable; 49.1 per cent was by fires whose origin Is unknown, but nrobablv larsrely preventable.
