THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. OCTOBER 11, 1914. MAIN BATTLE NOW DUEL OF ARTILLERY British Bureau Describes Cam paign in Which Minor Srat egies Are Many. LESS AMMUNITION WASTED Striking Feature of Handling of Guns by Enemy Is Speed With Which Fire Is Concentrated on Given Point. LONDON', Oct 11. A serious German check is reported this -morning (Octo ber 11). at Quatrecht. near "VVetteren. east of Ghent, where, according1 to an Ostend dispatch to the Exchange Tel egraph Company. 20,000 Germans have been repulsed by French and British troops. , LONDON, Oct. 10. The official news bureau today issued the following de scriptive account communicated by an eye witness with general headquarters, which continues and supplements the narrative published October 9 of the movements of the British force and the French armies in Immediate tou;h with it: "Compaartive calm on our front has continued through the fine and consid erably warmer weather. The last six days have been slightly misty, with clouds hanging low, and conditions have not been very good for aerial re connaissance. . Moon Check Alght Attacks. "In regard to the latter it is aston ishing how quickly the habit is ac quired, even by those who are not aviators, of thinking of the weather in terms of its suitability for flying. There has been a bright moon also, which has militated against night attacks. "On Saturday, October 2, practically nothing happened except that each side shelled the other. Towards evening on fcunday there was a similar absence of activity. Opposite one portion of our line the enemy's bands played patriotic airs and the audiences which gathered gave a chance to our waiting howitzers. "Not only do their regimental bands perform occasionally, but with their proverbial fondness for music, the Ger mans have in some places grama phones in their trenches. One Day Sees Three Air Duels. "On Monday, the 5th, there wfere three separate duels in the air between French and German aviators, one of which was visible from our trenches. Two of the struggles were, so far as could be seen, indecisive, but in the third the French airmen were victo rious and brought down their oppo nent, both of whom were killed by machine-gun fire. "During the day some men of the landwehr were taken prisoners by us. They were in poor condition and wept copiously when captured. One, on be ing asked what he was crying for, explained that, .though, they had been advised to surrender to the English, they believed that they would be shot. "On that evening our airmen had an unusual amount of attention paid to them, both by' the German aviators and their artillery of 'every description. , Burial Party Fired On. "One of our infantry patrols discovered-150 dead Germans in a wood, one and a half miles from our front. We sent a party out to bury them, but it was fired upon and" had to withdraw. "On Tuesday, the 6th, the enemy's guns were active in the afternoon. It is believed that the bombardment was due to anger because two of our how itzer shells had detonated right in one of the enemy's trenches, which was full of men. Three horses were killed by the German fire. "Wednesday, the "th, was uneventful. On Thursday, the Sth. the shelling by the enemy of a locality on our front, which has so .far .been the scene of their greatest efforts, was again con tinuous. Opposite one or two points the Germans have attempted to gain ground by sapping In some places with the view of secretly pushing forward machine guns in advance of their trenches, so that they can suddenly sweep with cross-fire the space be tween our line and theirs and so take any advance of ours in the flank. ( Blown t'p From Tunnel. "It is reported that at one point where the French were much annoyed by the fire of a German machine gun, which was otherwise inaccessible, they drove a mine gallery 50 metres (about 55 yards) long up to and under the emplacement and blew up- the gun. This men who drove the gallery be longed to a corps which was recruited in one of the coal mining districts of France. "The German machine guns, mounted on low sledges, are inconspicuous and evidently easily moved. "The fighting now consists mostly of shelling by the artillery of both sides and in front a line of fire from the machine guns as an occasional tar cet offers. Our maxims have been doing excellent and have proved most efficient weapons for the sort of fight ing in which we are now engaged. "The amount of practice that our of ficers are now getting in the use of this weapon is proving most valuable in teaching how to maintain it at con cert pitch as an Instrument and how. to derive the best tactical results from its employment." Gfrman Fire 3iot So Prodigal. "Against us the Germans are not now expending so much gun ammunition as they have been, but they continue to fire at insignificant targets. They have the habit of suddenly dropping heavy shells without warning in localities or villages far behind our front line, pos sibly on the chance of catching some or our troops in bivouac or billets. They also fire a few rounds at night. "The artillery has up to now played so .m-eat a part in the war that a few general remarks descriptive of the methods of its employment by the enemy are justified. Their field artil levy armament consists of 15 quick tlrlnsr guns for horse and field batteries of divisions, and there are. in additibn with each corps, three to six batteries of 4.3-ineh field howitzers and about two batteries of 5.9-inch howitzers. With an army there are some 8.2-inch heavy howitzers. "The accuracy of their fire is apt at first to cause some alarm, more es pecially as the guns are usually well concealed ana tne position and the di rection from which the fire is proceed ing are difficult of detection. But ac curate as is their shooting, the German gunners have, on the whole, had little luck and during the past three weeks wn astonishingly small proportion of the number of shells fired by them nave been really effective. Guns Directed by Telephone. "Quite the most striking feature of tneir Handling of the artillery is the speed with which they concentrate the fire on any selected point. They dis penee to a great extent with the method of ranging known by us as bracketing, especially when acting on the defensive and direct their fire by means of squared maps and the telephone. Tnus when the target is found, its position on the map is telephoned to such bat teries as it is desired to employ against that particular square. "In addition to the guns employed to lire on the targets as they are picked up, others are told off to watch par ticular roads and to deal with any of the enemy using them. "Both for the location of targets and the communication of ttie'-effect of the fire, reliance is placed on observation from aeroplanes and balloons and on information supplied by special ob servers and secret agents, who are sent out ahead or left behind in the enemy's lines, to communicate by telephone or signal. These observers have been found in haystacks, barns and other buildings well in advance of the Ger man lines. Smoke Ball Give Range. Balloons of the so-called sausage pat terns remain up in the air for long periods for the purpose of discover ing targets and until our aviators made their influence felt bv chasing all hostile aeroplanes on sight, the lat ter continually hovered over our troops in order to register their posi tions and to note where the headquar ters, reserves, gun teams, etc., were located. If suitable targets were iiif.nrrMi the airmen dropped a smokeball direct ly over It or Jet fall some, string m tinsel, which glitter in the sun as they slowly descend to the earth. The range to the target apparently is ascer tained by those near the guns by means of a large telemeter, or other range-finding device, which is kept trained on the aeroplane, so that when the signal is made the distance to the target vertically below is at once ob tained. A few rounds are then fired and the result Is signalled back by the aviator according to some prearranged code. POSTOFFICE IS ROBBED 1A.F-E BLOWN AT RICK RE ALL AXD 15 IJT CASH OBTAINED.

FIGHT IS HAND TO HAND (Con tinged From First Page.) from the general headquarters only mentions encounters between the two cavalry forces to . the southwest of Lille, a violent action to the south, to me east and to tne north of Arras and vigorous attacks from the enemy on the heights of the Meuse. The earlier official report said: "The fighting continues under satis factory conditions. Our entire battle front has been maintained in spite of violent attacks of the enemy at several points. "On our left wing in the region in eluded between La Basse, Armentieres and Cassel, the fighting between the opposing forces of cavalry has been confused because of the nature of the terrain. "To the north of the Oise our troops nave attained real advantages at sev eral places in their zone of action. In the region of St. Mihiel we have made material progress. "As to Belgium. It is announced that Antwerp was taken yesterday. The conditions under which this place was occupied by the enemy-, are, however. not yet known. Stops Tobacco Habit.

PETROL IS VALUED HIGHLY Cargo of Coffee for Rotterdam, Re garded as Sufficient to Last AH Holland Six Months, Re leased After Delay. LONDON. Oct. 10. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Every day cargoes of foodstuffs, petrol and other supplies which would be useful to Ger mans move with greater difficulty into Netherlands pcrts. At Falmouth and other ports in the south of England warships are constantly escorting Dutch bottoms into a safe refuge, where they are held-until the ultimate destination of the cargo is finally de termined and until The Netherlands government gives assurances the cargo will not be sold to Germany nor used to replace supplies now in Holland, which may be sold to the Auetrians or the Germans. Recently the Getria. a big Dutch steamer, from the River Plata country, carrying a large cargo of coffee and other foodstuffs, was towed into Fal mouth, where it was held more than a week before being permitted to proceed to Rotterdam. Coffee Carco Susptclounly Large. The Getria carried several German reservists, "who were taken off the ship before she was finally ' released. Her cargo of coffee was so large an English official said it was estimated to be sufficient to supply the poDula- tion of all Holland for six months. However, the ship was allowed to pro ceed to her destination after the Neth erlands government assumed responsi bility for the cargo and guaranteed none of it would go to enemies of the English. The Ryndam and several other Dutch ships, which have been escorted into Irish ports by warships, underwent several investigations. After the Ryn dam's quota of reservists was taken off at Queenstown the shin was re leased only to be seized again off the south coast of England and taken Into Falmouth for a fuller investigation of its cargo. Plymouth la Busy Port. ' Plymouth has also been a much busier port than usual since the Eng lish warships have been investigating Dutch ships so thoroughly. Scarcely a day passes that a number of craft of varying size are not escorted into that harbor for careful inspection. Up to this time most of the Dutch ships have been able to make a. sat isfactory explanation and accounting after a few days of delay and commu nication with The Hague. Sometimes they are relieved of part of their cargo and permitted to proceed with the re mainder. 'What sense would there be in main taining a large navy and in waging war if we were to permit our enemies to get ammunition and food through neutral ports?" a prominent English official remarked in discussing the seizure of Dutch ships. "We want Hol land to have all the foodstuffs required for her own people and shall see that ihey lack nothing. However, we can not stand oy and watch Dutch mer chants supplying Germany's needs." Petrol of Great Value.. Ships carrying saltpeter, petrol and other supplies clearly for the use of an army are usually held indefinitely. Airships and motorcars play such an important part in the present war that petrol is of the greatest value to the armies and tjnglish warships are not permitting neutral tank ships to move toward the North Sea if satisfactory guarantee is not given as to the ulti mate destination of their cargo. BBID6E CLAUSE SIGNED LITIGATION OVER OREUOX CITY ELEVATOR E.DS. For Nearly- Two Years Mrs, - Sarah Chsae Ham Prevented Consumma tion of Public Project. OREGON CITY. Or., Oct. 10. (Spe cial.) The Chase stipulation ending the long controversy between the city and Mrs. Sarah Chase was signed to day and work on a bridge leading from the elevator tower, now erected, to the top of the bluff at Seventh street will begin at once. The legal fight over the construc tion of the Seventh-street elevator, in itself an unusual feature for any city. is considered one of the -most persist ent which has ever been waged in this city. Nearly two years ago the voters authorized the salo or bonds for the construction of an elevator on Seventh street. The tower was to be built about 60 feet from the face of the bluff, which rises 100 feet through the center of the town, and a bridge was to span the space from the top of the tower to the crest of the rise. The first step taken by Mrs. Chase, who owns property on which the bridge would land, was an attempt to have the elevator declared a public nuisance, but here the city won in the courts. Mrs. Chase would come to no terms with the city for the landing place and the approaches and the city appointed a board of appraisers and began condemnation proceedings. The price of the property was set at S1G00 Then followed a long series of injunc tion suits, appeals and postponed ac tion. The various questions raised in .injunction with the case were argueu before Circuit Judges Benson and Campbell at various times and two ap peals were taken ' to the Supreme Court- Untll August 19 attorneys for Mrs. Chase publicly declared that they could delay the completion of the ele vator indefinitely, but about that time Circuit Judge Campbell handed down a decision which crushed the last hope of Mrs. Chase's attorneys and at the same time told the lawyers that "thee was an end to all litigation," and that the construction of the elevator could not be permanently stopped. BIG PROJECT IS APPROVED Reclamation of 4 6,500 Lake County Acres Planned. SALEM. Or., Oct. 10. (Special.) State Engineer Lewis said today that he had approved the application of the Goose Lake Valley Irrigation Com pany for the reclamation of 46.50D acres of land and the construction of a large reservoir in Goose Lake Valley in the southern part of Lake County. He said the company soon would complete the reservoir and main canals at m cost of approximately $1, 000,000. The impounding dam, which is 66 feet high, -'00 feet long at the bottom and 600 at the top, has been completed. Its storage capacity being 65,000 acre-feet. The north and south canals, two of the largest, are completed with the exception of certain flumes. "The company," said Mr. Lewis, "will sell water at the rate of $25 an acre, and. as soon as the land under the present canal has been sold, the project will be extended by the con struction of high line canals which probably will bring the total acreage under the project to 60,000. Fees col lected by this office on approval of the permits aggregate $526.09. . While water rights for the project were initiated under the old law, the com pany handling the bonds insisted that the same be brought under the state water code to secure protection offered by it."

BAD-CHECK BOY PAROLED One-Year Sentence Hangs Over Lad With Criminal Penchant. William Felberbaum, aged 15, was sentenced to serve one year at the State Training School yesterday by Judge Gatens in the Juvenile Court anil pa roled. The lad has a failing for castl ing bad checks, having committed these offenses here and in Los Angeles and Denver. The latest charge against him, for which he was sentenced, was the cashing of a bad check for 50 at a department store here. The boy seems to be practiced in check writing, and his appearance is such that he inspires confidence. Curiously enough, he usually spends the proceeds of his pen work in moving-picture shows, candy and similar juvenile dissipations. Those familiar with his attempts to outwit the law say his proficiency might well be envied by older and more practiced hands. Rose Society Meets Tomorrow.

PROTECTION IS DEMANDED United States Stands by Officials of Vera Cruz Who Served on Condi tion They Would Be Immune From Punishment. WASHINGTON. Oct.' 10. The United States Government will make no fur ther move in the Mexican situation and will reserve announcement of its fu ture policy towards the Mexican cen tral government until General Carran za, the first Constitutional chief, has riven formal guarantee of full pro tection of allies and Mexicans, irre spective of their political affiliations, and promises not to impose customs duties collected by Americans during the occupation of Vera Cruz. This was the positive declaration of State Department officials tonight fol lowing the announcement that, despite two attempts. Carranza has so far re fused to explain his position satisfac torily as to what steps he contemplates taking on the withdrawal of the Amer ican forces from Vera Cruz. It was pointed out that General Funston had secured the services of Mexican officials in the administration of the civil government at Vera Cruz on the condition that they would be protected when ha withdrew. Under the Mexican law those officials are liable, for serving invaders, to impris onment for from five to 20 years. Im munity for these citizens is sought by this Government. It also has been learned here that Carranza was asked through the Bra zilian Minister at Mexico City, repre senting the United States, no less than two weeks ago for assurances when hia forces took over Vera Cruz they would respect the conditions laid down by General Funston. He was requested also to promise that, on the receipt of the SI, 000. 000 customs collections, he would not further molest Vera Cruz importers. , . It has developedt that the Brizillan Minister has Informed the State de partment -rrf- the reply of the Mexican government and, according to officials here, it dealt In generalities and was altogether unsatisfactory.
