Nurnberger Anzeiger "Extra- actual size of which is 12 by 8 fhes. It tells of the decisive victory of the Germans near Metz. Translated roughly, " Berlin Aug 21. Under the leadership of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, the troops of all the southern states in battle won a decisive victory between Metz and the Vosges. The French, with strong reinforcements, entered on the frontier and were defeated and routed with heavy losses. Many thousands of prisoners and ammunition were taken from them." mans are giving more of their atten tion to fighting than to telling about It. White paper is scarce andink like wise. The publishers have no "ads" and consequently the Nurnberg An sleger, which ordinarily is an eight page paper about the size of The Oregonian, has been reduced. Germany has not by a long way called out her reserve army strength, mmm Mr Tfrpssmatl. Who has two brothers and five brothers-in-law in the German army, and who has Just received a letter from his mother at Nurnberg, dated August 21. "Neither the Lanwehr nor the Land Bturm had been called out up to that dat-e." said Mr. Kressman. "The Land wehr would in case of need be called cut before the Landsurm. and only after these two organizations had been exhausted would the men we call vol unteers be called into play in the war. The Landwehr takes In the re nerve trained men not In the active army who range in age up to 39. The Landsturm includes the men between 8a and 43 who are army-trained, but who are not in the active fighting ranks. Beyond these two great forces the German War Department could call for hundreds of thousands of vol unteersthat is untrained men of all ages, but none so far has been called for and Germany has hardly begun to call upon her reserve trained strength. "I get this news from my mother and father direct from Nurnberg. The letter was dated August 21 and came through the censors in Just 19 days, which goes to prove the mails are not being held up in Germany because of lack of transportation or some such thing. From Nurnberg to Portland in 19 days is a good record. It took nie 20 days to come In peaceful times three years ago. Bnvnrlans Take I.iege. "My mother writes me that Liege fell In three days, and that the forts were stormed by the German Bavarian troops and not by the Prussians. . She writes also that every woman In Ger many feels warlike notwithstanding the sacrifice it means. They all feel Germany is fighting the war of self preservation, driven upon them. My mother has sent seven of her close rel atives to the ranks and she says other women feel the same way about it. Just as evidence of the enthusiasm In Germany there were ir.0.000 or more volunteers who offered themselves for the Kaiser's army in Nurnberg alone one day. These were not accepted be cause the Kaiser didn't need them, anil Nurnberg is a city of about 670. 000. This same spirit is shown through out Germany, according to my mother. 'The German people are receiving news of barbaric treatment of the wuunded Germans in Belgium after the siene Belgian girls, under the guise of ministering to the exhausted Ger man troops, carried water to them as they passed by. Many of the soldiers drank It. because they would not drop out of line to get a drink elsewhere, and they that drank fell dead In a few minutes. - Wounded Declared Tortured. My mother also writes that the civilians in Belgium gouged out the eves and pulled out the tongues of the wounded Germans, and it was for this that German officers put such se vere restrictions on the Belgians and treated summarily those who carried arms. It In a way explains the trag edy at Louvaln. ' "J. Carretti. a large manufacturer In Germany, whose name Is known by almost every school child, was shot as a spy because the German authori ties discovered him in the act of trans porting valuable German information to France. Mrs. Carretti, who was ar rested with her husband at the time, was not molested." Mr. Kressman's father is a large hoe manufacturer in Nurnberg. Recital Set for Tomorrow.

Pearson, a rapid sketch artist, will draw cartoons and scenic views on a screen, and tha fol- hihit in a booth.

City's Agreement Works Fine na Far a Use of Machine Goe, bat Hitch Comes In Settlement. Grief abounds in officialdom at the City Hall, for the Council la without an automobile. Back in- the recesses where the Commissioners sometimes hold executive sessions there has been a little family quarrel, which has caused Mayor Albee to withdraw the use of his private automobile by the Council. . Up to a few days ago the Mayor fur nished his private car on the understanding- that the city furnish a chauf feur and the gasoline and pay a por tion of the depreciation cost This ar rangement was made by the Council in place at the r-urchaae of a car by Uw city. Depreciation on the car was to be paid when the time came for turn ing it in as part payment on a new machine. ' m ' M . The Council, it is said, carried out its part of the deal so far as furnishing a chauffeur and- using the car was con cerned, but there w's a hitch when It came to buying the gasoline and pay ing a depreciation charge. The Mayor sent in a depreciation charge of Sizou, the depreciation on his car being fig ured at over $2000. There were objections, it is said, and on top of this somebody in the pur chasing department slipped a cog and sent the Mayor a bill for the gasoline that had been used. This capped the climax with the Mayor. Although' nothing of a puollc nature appeared and no official action was taken the Mayor pulled the J1200 depreciation bill out of the official files, consigned It to the waste basket, transferred the chauffeur to the Police Department and sent his automobile home. So now the Council walks when it goe on inspection and other trips. Damage Verdict Awaited.
