THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 13. 1914. BELGIANS REGAIN LOST TERRITORY Victory at Oortenberg Said to Cut Army of Occupation in Two Sections. HEAVY ARTILLERY IS USED Gbent Again Occupied and King A.I bert Takes Part in Engagement at Hofstade, Xear Malines. Extended Sortie Made. LONDON, Sept. 12. An Oatend dis patch to the Exchange Telegraph Com pany says: The Belgian 'troops have Just gained an important success at Oortenberg, be tween Louvain and Brussels, cutting up a German corps and taking several prisoners. The line toward Liege has been occupied by the Belgians." It Is asserted that after the recent battle at Termonde the Belgians burled 1239 Germans. The enemy suffered greatly at the hands of the .Belgian ar tillery. Cannonading was heard to day in the direction of Courtrai and YVaereghem. Germans are said to have been seen laying mines under Belgian roads which the allies may take wmie ioiiow Jng the retreating German forces. Victory Regarded an Important. The Belgian victor at Oortenberg is regarded as especially important, as the German army occupying Belgium hat been cut in two sections as a result of it. The victory was due in great part to artillery of heavy caliber, which was used for the first time there. The Belgian legation announced to day that the Belgians had again taken the offensive, which was being pushed satisfactorily. An extended sortie was made on September 10 and the Ger mans everywhere were forced to re tire. Malines and Aerschot were re taken. The Belgian legation said Bel gians had destroyed the railway be tween Louvain and Tirlemont thus cut ting off the German communications be tween Brussels and Liege. Belxintts Keoccupy Ghent. A dispatch to the Central News from Amsterdam says: "According to a Ghent dispatch to the Belgian government, having op posed the delivery of the army neces saries requisitioned by the Germans, a Belgian force has again occupied Ghent. The necessaries which had already been prepared were not delivered." The Antwerp correspondent of the Daily Telegraph sends the following: "A courier brings news of fighting at the Hofstade, near Malines. King Albert motored out and participated In the general engagement, which is apparently going well. "The German artillery ngurea con siderably, but the Belgian infantry, well supported by guns, gradually forced the Germans back." Battle to Be Resumed Today. The Antwerp correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company, in a dispatch dated Saturday, says: "Fighting continued south of Ant wem. To the left our division was obliged to give way before the enemy's offensive. In the center ana on uie right wing we made good progress. The battle will be resumed tomorrow (Sunday)." A German force of about 10.000 men spent Friday night in the neighbor hood of Desselghem and Waereghem. between Ghent and Courtrai, accord ing to a Iteuter dispatch from Ostend. About 8 o'clock Saturday morning they set out in a southwesterly direc tion, sending out numerous patrols In every direction. A force of 400 Uhlans proceeded toward Diedmude and Fur nes and toward the French frontier. GERMAN RETREAT IS RAPID Continued From First Page.) general staff of the eipht corps of the German army the following order signed by Lieutenant-General Tulff von Tschepe and Wedinbach: 'Vitry-le-Franco. Sept. 7. The end aimed at by our long and painful marches has been reached. The main French forces have been compelled to accept battle after continuously fall ing back. The great decision is near at hand. Tomorrow, therefore, the whole forces of the German army, as well as those of our army corps, must be engaged nil along the line from Paria to Verdun In order to save the welfare and the honor of Germany. German-, Too, 1'rged to Firmness. ' 'I expect that every officer and sol dier, notwithstanding the battles and heroisms of the last few days, will do his full duty, and to his last breath. Everything depends on the result of the day tomorrow.' "It is interesting to make a compar ison of these addresses. It shows that the Germans do not lend less impor tance to the issue of the battle of the Ma me than does our commander-in-chief." Lnacvtlle Is Reoccnpled. Another official communication issued tonight says: "r iret On our left wing the general retreat of the Germans continues before the French and British forces, who have reached the lower courses of the A line. "Second; Likewise in the center the German armies are retreating. We have crossed the Marne between Epernay and Vitry-le-Francois. On our right wing the enemy has in like manner be gun today a retiring movement, aban doning the region around Nancy. "We have reoccupied Luneville." FIGHT DESPERATE AT CENTER Loudon Keiorts Combined Efforts Promise Success. LONDON. Sept. 12. The official press bureau makes the following announce in t "A summary, necessarily incomplete, may be attempted of the operations of the British expeditionary force and the French arm during the last four days. "On September 6 the southward ad -vane of the German right reached the extreme point at Coulommiers and Provina, cavalry patrols having pene trated even as far south as Nogent-Sur-Seine. KKpoved V log Attacked. "This movement was covered by a large flanking force west of the line at tlie River Ourcq. watching the outer Paris defenses and any allied force that mipht come from them. "The- southward movement of the enemy left his right wing in a danger ous position, and he had evacuated the Crell, Senlis, and Compiegene region, through which his advance had been pushed" "The allies attacked this exposed wing, both in front and on the flank, on September 8. The covering force was assailed by a French army based on the Paris defenses and brought to action on the line between Nanteuil-le-Hawdouin and Meaux. "The main portion of the enemy's right wing was attacked frontally by the British army, which had been trans ferred from the north to the east of Paris, and by a French corp advancing alongside it on a line between Crecy, Couloummiers and Sezanne. "The combined operations have, up to the present, been completely success ful. The German outer flank was forced back as far as the line of Ourcq River. There it made a strong defense and executed several vigorous counter attacks, but was unable to beat off the pressure of the French advance. BrltlMb and French Cross Marne. "The main body of the enemy's right wing vainly endeavored to defend the line of the Grand Morin River and then that of the Petit Morin. Pressed back over both of these rivers and threatened on its right, owing to the defeat of the covering force by the allied left, the German right wing re treated over the Marne on September 10. "The Britsh army, with a portion of the French forces on its left, crossed this river below Chateau Thierry a movement which obliged- the enemy's force west of the Ourcq, already as sailed by the French corps forming the extreme left of the allies, to give way and retreat northeastward in the direction., of Soissons. "Since September 10 the whole of the German right wing has fallen back in considerable disorder, closely fol lowed by the French and British troops- "Six thousand prisoners and 15 guns were captured on the 10th and 11th, and the enemy is reported to be con tinuing his retirement rapidly over the Aisne, evacuating the Soissons re gions." , "The British cavalry is reported to day to be at Flssmes, not far from Rheims. Center Strongly Engaged. "While the Germans' right wing has thus been driven back and thrown into disorder, the French armies further to the east have been strongly engaged with the German center, which had been pushed forward as far as Vitry-le-Francois. Between September 8 and 10 our allies were unable to make much impression west of Vitry. On the 11th, however, this portion of the German army began to give way and eventually abandoned Vitry-le-Francois, where the enemy's line of battle was forming a salient, umler the impulse of the French troops. "Between the upper Marne and the Meuse, the French troops are following up the enemy and driving a portion of his forces northward toward the Ar yenne forest country. "The Third French army reports to day that it has captured the entire ar tillery of a hostile army corps, a cap ture which probably represents about 100 guns. The enemy, thus in retreat along the whole line west of the Meuse. has suffered gravely in morale, beside encountering heavy losses in personnel and material." RESULT NOT YET DECISIVE British Admit German Forces May Rally as Allies Did. LONDON', Sept. 12. News of a de cisive character from east of Vitry-le-Francois, where the army of Saxony and parts of the armies commanded by the Prince of Wurtemberg and Gen eral von Buelow are fiercely striving to break through the French right and center, still hangs fire and the anxiety of both forces grows keener as it is recognized that the result of the bat tle In this quarter is likely to have a decisive effect on the whole lines. Should the Germans smash through the center off the French line in this district, they would turn the line of French frontier forts and seriously en danger the rear of General Castleman's Sixth army corps, already engaged up to the hilt with a corresponding host of Germans before Nancy. It is fully realized here that the driv ing back of the German right wing and right center in no way is conclusive, and that as the Franco-British forces rallied after their long retreat, so may the Germans turn and retrieve their present reverses. The public is warned that the pres ent situation merely is the first phase of a great battle and that the battle itself is only the first stage of a titanic struggle between the nations, which will continue su long as .he main armies remain intact as they are at present. The latest unofficial reports from the plains of Champagne tell of consider ably larger numbers of German guns and prisoners being captured than were mentioned in the last official communi cation. ROAD TO HAVRE IS OPEN Report Says British Rested Before Taking Up Advance. LONDON Sept. 13. The road from Havre to Paris has been reopened and declared safe for traffic according to a message from Havre to the Weekly Dispatch. The communication continues: "According to "those coming from the front. General French rested the Brit ish troops for four days near Paris, thereby Insuring their freshness and excellent spirits for the advance. Ger man prisoners admit that their ammu nition supply failed all along the front. "The condition of the country along which the allies are now advancing is indescribable. The roads are littered with the bodies of horses and cattle, houses are wrecked and crops ruined. The allies are receiving ample supplies from the South." RAILROAD MEN ORDERED BACK Lines Toward Belfort and Nancy Believed Liberated Again. PARIS. Sept. 12. The officials of the Eastern Railroad posted notices today rhat the employes of the road who had leave of absence because of the occu pation of eastern territory by the Ger mans should return to their duties. This means that the railroad lines toward Belfort and Nancy have been liberated by the retreat of the Germans toward the north. One hundred and fifty canal barges loaded with ammunition, which had been hidden under a covering of coal, have been captured by the French on the River Oise. This may explain the German shortage of ammunition. Almost Whole Regiment Gone. CONSTANCE (via Paris), Sept, 13. The headquarters of the 14th German Infantry are in mourning, as practic ally the entire regiment has been de stroyed. Many pitiful scenes are en acted when the women come to ex amine the posted list of the dead. AMERICAN SHIP CHASED British Cruiser Takes After Steamer That Does Not Halt. NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The British cruiser Suffolk today chased the steam ship Coamo, flying the American flag, six miles down the coast of New Jersey. The Coamo left here today for Porto Rico. When the Suffolk sighted her, she hoisted international code flags asking, "What ship is that?" In reply the Coamo hoisted the American flag and kept going. The Suffolk evidently expected the Coamo to stop, and when she failed to do so, the cruiser turned and started after her. The Coamo soon outran the cruiser which then drew away and headed out to sea. SEA TRAFFIC GAIN BIG ON ATLANTIC Arrivals and Departures Are Almost as Frequent as if No War On. EIFFEL TOWER FORTIFIED Lawyer, Back From Europe With 4000 Other Refugees, Tells of Firing on German Aeroplane as It Circles Over Gay Paree. NEW YORK, Sept. 12. Arrivals and sailings of trans-Atlantic steamships today were almost as frequent as though war were not In progress In Europe, with cruisers of belligerent na tions patrolling the lanes of sea traf fic Nearly 4000 passengers, a majority of them American refuges, reached here from British, French and Italian ports on four steamships. Among the passengers on the France from Havre was Frederic R. Coudert, a lawyer of international reputation. In Paris Mr. Coudert registered his automobile at the American Embassy, flew the American flag on his ma chine and started on a tour through districts where fighting was in prog ress. He was present at the battle of Amiens. French Enthanlsjim Tremendous. "We saw a battery going into ac tion, and you cannot imagine the en thusiasm of those Frenchmen, who seemed to be going- to certain death," Mr. Coudert said. "They had been marching three days. They had fought engagement after engagement." Mr. Coudert said that on the way to Amiens he saw 15,000 French- Arfican troops, consisting of Turcos, Moroccans and Senegalese, on their way to fight the Germans. "1 saw four French soldiers walking toward me." he added. "They had a German prisoner. He proved to be an aeroplane pilot, wbo had just been shot out of his machine by a sharp shooter. He was badly wounded and they were taking him to a hospital. Russell H. Landale, a lawyer, an other of the France's passengers, told of bomb-dropping In Paris. With five United States Army officers he was dining in a cafe on August 28, when the crackling of rifle fire was heard. They went out into the street. . All Paris Fires at Monoplane. "There we saw the flashes of guns, and looking 'upward, a monoplane cir cling about 3000 feet over the city. It was going rapidly and It seemea to me that everybody in Paris was taking a shot at it. The Eiffel Tower is a fortress armed with rapid-fire guns, artd these guns now began to shoot like a Fourth of July celebra tion. "It was just growing dusk and in the dim light we saw a small object drop from the aeroplane Just above the Eiffel Tower. -Following its flight, we expected a fearful explosion, but nothing occurred, the shell failing to explode. At that moment two French aeroplanes rose from tli city and started straight for the invader, who was pursued by the two French planes until out of our sight."

Hero of Murlhausen Cleverly Relates to Good Parent In 1STO How He Lost His RlSht Arm. PARIS. Seot. J (Correspondence ot the Associated Press.) General Paul Gerald Pau, hero of the second capture of Muelhausen and whose army has borne one of the biggest parts in the war in a letter Just published, written to hi3 mother soon after the battle of Woerth in 18T0. in which he lost his right arm. told the story of his wound as follows: "My good mother: As I don t know if any of the letters that 1 have written to you have arrived, or. rather, since 1 have strong reasons for believing that none of them has reached you, while this time I may hope that you will be able to see my autograph, I am going to relate my adventures at length. "First of all. the originality of the preceding seven lines must lead you to think they were traced by a foot In stead of a hand. Undeceive yourself and laugh neither at the first efforts of an unpractlced hand, nor at the style. Besides the fact that I speak almost exclusively German Just now. I swear that elegant phrases do not flow easily when it takes five minutes to trace a line. "But I am forgetting that I haven t told you the main thing. I am wound- ed. but. you see, not dangerously. It was the 6th of August In the battle of Woerth. I had up to that time the luck not to be touched, in the midst of a rain of iron and lead; when a shell smashed a tree near me and the splin ter struck my right hand and put two fingers hors de combat. An hour afterward I regretted much less, the loss of the above mentioned digits, be cause a Bavarian bullet fractured the same hand and lodged itself between the two bones of my wrist, from which I delicately extracted It. I then was ordered to the ambulance, and it was while I dragged myself along in that direction, obliged to pass under the fire of the Prussian batteries, I re ceived the fragment of a shell In my right thigh. "Unnecessary for me to tell you that all is quite well with me. It is true they had to amputate my wrist, but the operation was highly successful. How could it be otherwise? I am with the best folks in the world; nursed like a child of the family, visits, each more affectionate than the last. I don't lack. "Enough of myself.

Secretary of Navy Raises Flap;, bnt Voyage Will Walt on Farther Tests With New Crew. NEW YORK. Sept. 12. The Red Cross, which carries American sur geons and nurses to Europe's battle fields, probably will not begin her trans-Atlantic voyage until Monday. Apparently she had started on her de layed voyage late today, bpt after passing quarantine she turned about and took anchorage in Gravesend Bay. There she is expected to remain for another 36 hours at least. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, bade the Red Cross farewell In person. He raised the Stars and Stripes at the relief ship's stern and persons on shore believed when they saw her steaming down the Hudson to ward the harbor that she was off for Europe at last. Recent delays were due to British and French official protests that the Red Cross own crew contained Ger mans. These men were replaced with American citizens and it is believed the purpose of the. Red Cross in waiting until Monday before departing la to enable her new crew to familiarize themselves with the ship. It was ex plained also that the anchors were in need of testing. RUSSIANS CLAIM VICTORY BRILLIANT HUNGARIAN CAVALRY DECLARED DEFEATED. Retreat From Lemberg Signaled by Airmen and Artillery and Cav nlry Inflict Big Loss. PARIS. Sept. 12. A Petrograd dis patch to the Havas Agency says: "Russlsn successes are -reported everywhere in the theater of opera tions. Notwithstanding the brilliant efforts of the Hungarian cavalry and the ability of the Austrians to Intrench themselves in a clever manner, the Russians have completely crushed the bulk of the opposing armies and are occupying more territory every day. "The Russian artillery was so ef fective at the bombardment of Nico laiff, south of Lemberg, that the Aus trian guns were silenced the first day, whereupon the Austrians began the evacuation without waiting an assault. Russian airmen signaled the Austrian retreat and the Russian artillery and cavalry gallantly dashed around, cut ting them off and inflicting enormous losses." WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. The Ger man Embassy today received the fol lowing wireless from Berlin: "General Hindenburg's victorious progress in East Prussia continues. Tire Russians attempted to relieve the pressure on their defeated left wing by launching the Twenty-second Army Corps against General Hindenburg's flank, but, according to , official re ports, were defeated."

CATARRH OF IAD AND STOMACH Took. Peruna Five Bottles Cured Me Mr. Frank Richter, No. 309 East Second St., Winona. Minn., writes: "My catarrh was principally located in my head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried several doctors, but they were unable to cure me. I read of Peruna in the papers, and five bottles cured me. "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh, of the stomach. I know what It is to be afflicted with this awful disease and consider it my duty to say- a word in behalf of the remedy which gave me such relief. Peruna cured me, and I know it will cure any one else who suffers from this disease.

That it will devolve upon the United States to bring about a peace ful understanding among the European nations, was the opinion expressed to day before the Commonwealth Club by Rev. Charles ?. Aked In an address tailed "The Moral Effects of Europe's Madness."' Dr. Aked said that victory either for the allies or for Germany would mean disaster; that the subjugation of England wonld only be the cause of another great war within 50 years, when Great Britain would be able to submerge the Continent once more in blood; the victory for Russia Inevit ably would mean a terrible war be tween the Czar and England.

But despite all this there was no hate until the rulers ordered them out and their ranks became deluged with blood. Then hate grew. The outrages we have read about are not all on one side. The ape and tiger, deep down in hu man nature, have been provoked, and thousands who might have done things to advance civilization are made to kill. The timorous, the feeble in body and mind are kept at home to carry on the race and the race and the world lose. It' has become the struggle of fiends.
