Newspaper Page Text4 THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTL,AXI, OCTOBER 25, 1914- BRITISH SAY ENEMY IS FIGHTING WELL Resources and Bravery of Scouts Described in Re cital of Observer. LIFE BETTER CONSERVED Tendency to Rely More on Splendid War Material and Tx"ss on Masses of Men Noted Old Pattern Ammunition Captured. LONDON. Oct. 24. Another descrip tive recital of events in the north of France from an eyewitness attached to British general headquarters was issued today by the official informa tion bureau. It is dated October 17, and speaks of the fitness of the troops and declares that the "fact that we are steadily advancing and that the enemy is giving way before us has proved a most welcome and inspiring r change." Continuing, the report sayB: "We still hear from prisoners that German advance troops, at any rate, are short of food and exhausted by con tinual outpost work. We can afford to give our troops more rest and there is no lack of food. Many of the men opposed to us at present have had only two months service and some prison ers declare they will not expose them selves in the trenches. Germans Are Fighting Well. "Nevertheless, the army is fighting well and skilfully and showing consid erable powers of endurance. They generally contrive to remove their wounded and often to bury their killed before they retire and their escape is often facilitated by the numerous deep ditches in this country." Many of their cavalry patrols are wearing Belgian uniforms, a practice which is not excusable on the ground of any lack of their own. "An incident which occurred October 13 shows the resource and bravery of some of our enemy's scouts. A detach ment of German artillery was retiring and from time to time coming into ac tion. An officer of one of our flank cavalry patrols had been standing for some minutes under a tree when he noticed a fine wire hanging close to the trunk. He followed the wire with his eye and was astonished to see one of the enemy in the tree. As he drew his revolver and fired the German dropped onto his head, also firing. The British officer was stunned and when he came to it was to find himself alone, with the peak of his cap blown away and his uniform covered with blood which was not his own. Enemy More Sparine of Men. "As the campaign goes on the tend ency of the Germans to rely on their splendid war material with which they have been so amply provided, rather than on the employment of masses of men, has become more marked. There are Indications, however, that their ma terial is not inexhaustible and the sig nificant circular of the Prussian Min ister of War, enjoining a careful search of battlefields for equipment and even the collection of empty cartridge casks, has been quoted in a previous letter. "This circular seems to have been promoted more by necessity than by economy, for in the recent fighting both gun and rifle ammunition of old pattern has been found in trenches evacuated by the enemy on their dead and on prisoners. Among the latter are Mauser cartridges, similar to thoBi used by the Boers in South Africa." The narrative then quotes from Dam phlets dropped by German airmen sum moning the French to surrender on the ground that they are only pulling cnestnuts out or the fire for the Eng lish. Soldiers Have Newspapers. '"News of a sort Is disseminated among, the German soldiers by means of a special military newspaper called The Patrol, published in Berlin." the report continues. "Its historical value may be gauged by the statement made in its issue of September 6, as fol lows: " 'It may be confidently asserted that the resistance of the active army of the French has been overcome. The reserve troops and new formations will no doubt give our heroic forces plenty to do as they advance further. "Three weeks more of fighting, how ever, must have convinced the German troops that this assertion was not jus tified." The writer of this report then gives passages from captured German let ters, which indicate anxiety concerning the result of the fighting. One of these, dated September 27, contains the fol lowing: "Today we got papers from the first to the fifth of September, and it is really painful to read of the boastful announcements of our march on Paris, tor we are no nearer Paris now than we were then. I don't know whether you realize this, but there is no use of trying to hide it. The narrative, after saying ''Infor mation received corroborates the im pression already gained that the en emy's troops suffered severe privations during August and September," con cludes with these words: There Is no doubt that the Germans have to a great extent recovered from this condition but their forces are by no means what they were." .VAR HANGS ON BATTLE GERMAN EXPERT SAYS ISSXTE IS LIFE OR DEATH.

LONDON. Oct 24. (Special.) The London Times said in its leading war dispatch Saturday morning. For some days past tne war bulle tins issued in Paris have spoken of se vere fighting on the- left flank of the allies, between La Bassee ana the sea- coast. The inner meaning of these announcements is revealed today, curiously enough, by German military experts writing in Berlin papers. One of these experts in the .Berliner Tageblatt frankly says: "The greatest battle of the war is now in progress between Lille and Dunkirk. This battle is for the Germans a question of life or death. On h.e. issue of this en counter will depend the fate of German operations in France." Another German military expert, writing also in a Berlin paper, offers the opinion that the battle In Northern France will finish only when one of the opposing armies is too exhausted to continue any longer." . WAR GIFTS ARE FORWARDED San Francisco Contributes to Widows . . and Orphans in Europe. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.. 24.Traffic in San Francisco's downtown streets stood aside at midday today to allow a procession of 11 huge paper trucks bearing 450 big packing cases to pass. In the boxes were more than 250,T00 presents from the people of California to the widows and orphans of the Eu ropean war. From the schools of San Francisco came 100,000 useful firifts, and sewing societies and churches add ed manv garments. ' ' The shipment of donations left by rail tonight for New Orleans, where it will be transferred to a vessel ana taken to Brooklyn to be loaded on the Navy collier Jason. With gifts from other parts of the country, California's contribution will be taken across the Atlantic in time for Christmas. The collection of good cheer was made by a San Francisco newspaper. CRIMINALS WIN PRAISE patriotic british burglars pause: because of war. London Police' Records Show City Is More Law -Abiding; and Improve- t Is Said to Be General. LONDON, Oct. 16. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The patriotic fervor over the war ' has touched the souls of even burglars, pickpockets and strong-arm men. London's police rec ords prove it, for crime has fallen off nearly 40 per cent since the war beganl "Praise is due the criminals," said Robert Wallace, K. C. in addressing the grand jury at the London sessions, "for the self-control they are exer cising during this period of stress and anxiety." A well-known social reformer, com menting on this, attributes much of crime to the ebullient animal spirits or youths brought up in wrstched sur roundings. Defiance of law and order offers them a means to escape from their dull drab environment and to indulge their propensities for romance and adventure. This they now prefer to seek at the cannon's mouth. A cross of honor or a corporal's stripes for valiant service may reclaim many who have- heretofore been considered can didates for the gallows. The' annual report of the prison com missioners for the past year show, there has been a general decrease in crime all over Britain. Sentences to penal servitude are 797. as against '871 in the preceding year, while the impris onments of all classes are 136,140, against 149,552. British reform, the substitution of kind and helpful treatment for the harsh disciplinary methods of old, and mercy for young offenders are held re sponsible for the change. SURRENDER IS OFFERED TENDER BT AFRICAN INSURGENT SAID TO BE LEFT UNNOTICED. Assurances as to Cotton Sought. WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. Senators from the cotton states asked Acting Secretary Lansing, of the State Depart ment, to obtain assurances from the belligerent countries of Europe that shipments of cotton from the United States either to neutral or belligerent countries would not be detained or seized. rE;i.'

HEAVIEST TWEES ALLIES' LEFT AND GERMAN RIGHT FROM OSTEND TO LILLE. FIGHTING IS STILL BE- 70 or 80 German gunners, who have a few Maxims and a couple of field guns. Maritz endeavored to retire into South west Africa, but found his retreat cut off by a. strong force of English and Dutch. "It is understood that Maritz sent an offer to surrender if his followers were granted free pardon and the Germans allowed to return to their own territory. No notice was taken of his message. It is unofficially reported that four rebels 'who surrendered were court martialed and sentenced to death. The sentences were referred to Pretoria for confirmation." CARD OF THANKS.
