PARIS. Dec. 19. The following: offi
cial communication wan Issued tonight
by the French War Office:
"In Belgium, in the region of Sten
etraete, an attack by the enemy has
been repulsed and we have made sen
sible progress in the neighborhood of
the Korteken Inn.
"The British troops have lost, in the
vicinity of Neuve Chapelle, several of
the trenches which they captured yes
terday. In the meantime the Indian
corps has advanced a few hundred me
ters toward Richebourg l'Avoue.
Surprised Grrraam Mowed Down.
"The- enemy has displayed activity in
the direction of Thiepval and Lihons.
At the latter place a detachment of the
enemy was taken by surprise In marching-
column and literally mowed down.
"From the Oise to the Vosges there
has been no incident worth noting."
The earlier official report today was
more lengthy than usual. It said:
"During the day of December 18 we
organized in Belgium the territory
won from the enemy the evening be
fore to the south of Dlxmude, and wa
advanced our front to the south of the
Inn at Korteker.
"Our advance to the south of Tprea
has been continued over a- very diffi
cult and swampy territory.
Kilometer of Prorreaa Noted.
"From the Lys to the Oise wo have
progressed in the region of Notre
Dame de Consolation, to the south of
La Bassee, by more than one kilo
meter. During the past two days we
also made progress in the direction of
Carency, St. Laurent and Blangy.
"In spite of very spirited counter
attacks, the positions taken by us De
cember 17 have been retained.
"In the region of Albert, during the
night of December 17-18, and during
the day of the ISth, we advanced un
der a very violent fire of the enemy
and reached the barbed-wire entangle
ments -of the second line of German
trenches. To the north of Marlcourt
we were obliged to abandon a trench
occupied - the night before and set on
fire by the enemy by means of hand
grenades. Several German trenches
have been occupied in the region of
Mameta, and in the vicinity of Lyhons
three violent counter-attacks on the
part of the Germans have been re
pulsed. Enemy's Artillery More Active.
"In the region of the Afsne there
have been artillery engagements, and
In the Champagne the artillery of the
enemy showed, December 18, increased
activity as compard to the 17th.
"In the Argonne,; in the forest of
La Grurie, we blew up a. German' un
dermining trench. Near St. Hubert
the enemy, by a very spirited attack,
succeeded in making slight progress.
"It has been confirmed that on the
heights of the Meuse our fire, directed
by aviators, demolished two heavy bat
teries of the enemy and damaged a
third battery.
"From the Meuse to the Vosges
there is nothing to report. In the
Vosges there has been spirited Ger
man rifle firing, but no attack."
BATTLE IS DEVELOPING

gives rise to the general expectation
that the next news of importance is to
come from that direction.
The Austrlans appear to have aban
doned for a time all operations in Ser
via. Teuton military critics are of the
opinion that the" Austrians were faced
with the question either of strength
ening their forces in Servia or in West
ern Galicia and that they chose the
latter course, as it was the one that re
quired the greatest urgency. Later
events, the military observers say, fully
justmed tne Austrian army headquar

Servian Campaign Walts.
The operations in Servia will be re
sumed, it is expected, if West Galicia
is cleared of the Russians.
LONDON, Dec. 20. According to a
Berlin wireless dispatch, advices from
Vienna to main headquarters say that
in the battle of Limanowa the Austrian
troops completely routed the Russians,
of whom Western Galicia is now clean
Tho Austro-Hungarlan army made
26.000 prisoners and took a large quan

AVIATOlt KASPAB BACK SAFE
Berlin's Apprentice Jurist Kctnrns
With. 40O Bullet Holes in Plane.
BERLIN, Dec. 4. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) Aviation
Lieutenant Kaspar, wno is in private
life an apprentice Jurist. Is back in Ber
lin after another series of daring
flights. The flight carried him over
Calais, where he tried to destroy some
of the hostile ships in the harbor. He
dropped 10 bombs, but none of. them hit
the designed mark. A hot fire which
greeted him on his arrival grew steadily
hotter. Finally high-angle guns on
some of the ships began work and Kas
par, his bombs exhausted, returned to
bis base.
It was Lieutenant Kaspar who flew
over Dover some weeks ago and
dropped several bombs. He also has
made several flights over Paris. The
wings of his aeroplane show the nature
of the fire to which he has been sub
jected on his various flights. There
are more than 400 bullet holes in tEem.
ENTERTAINMENT IS PLAN
Minnesota. Society Chooses Watch

Entertainment will be the watchword
of the Minnesota Society of Oregon
next year, says the first annual Christ
mas message sent by the officers of
the society members. Inasmuch as the
society has in its personnel, some
clever entertainers and artists, a com
prehensive social programme is planned
for 1915.
The principal object of the society is
the getting together of the former resi
dents of the Gopher state and the help
ing of the Commercial Club and other
organizations in the entertainment of
visitors from Minnesota or elsewhere.
Tho next regular meeting of the so
ciety will be held January 13.

DUM DUMS SHOWN

FEARFUL EXHIBIT IS MADE
Allegation of Germans That Soft
Xosed Ballets Were Seized In
France Is Hotly Denied
by British. Officials.
WASHINGTON, Dec 19. Photographs
have been filed with the State Depart
ment by Count Bemstorff, the German
Ambassador at Washington, in support
of the charge made by the German gov
ernment that the British have been
using dum dum bullets in the war. The
dum dum is a soft-nosed bullet which
"mushrooms" when it enters the body
and makes a large, ragged hole.
At various times the English and
French have charged that the Germans
were using dum dums and the Germans
have made like charges against the
English and French. These have been
explained by some American Army of
ficers on .the theory that individuals in
both armies might be using dum dums
without the knowledge of their com
manders. By scratching the nose of a
steel Jacketed bullet with a pocket
knife it is easy to -make it "mushroom"
when it strikes an object. The German
charge filed at Washington, however, is
that the cartridges were issued to the
expeditionary force which sailed from
North Wall, Dublin, August 8, and
landed at Ostend the following day.
A bandolier shown in a photograph
was taken from the ammunition box of
the British regiment which came over
on the Lancf ranc, of the Lamport &
Holt line. It contains what the tier
mans describe as an "improved" form
OREGON AMONG FOREMOST
DAIRYING STATES.
As a dairying state Oregon is
rapidly approaching first rank.
In the western part of the state
and in the irrigated sections of
. Eastern Oregon,, where large
holdings have been divided into
small tracts, dairying already is
well established. It promises
much greater development. In
many sections of the state nat
ural conditions are ideal for the
industry. Mild climate, cool
nights, abundance of pure water
and luxurious growth of stock
foods, such as alfalfa, clover,
vetch, kale and. corn, are among
the chief advantages to be noted.
Market conditions are exceed
ingly favorable. For a number
of years the average price of
butter-fat in Oregon has been
much higher than in Eastern
States. "With an active market
for dairy products and with the
low cost of production, Oregon
presents a most inviting and
. profitable field for the dairying
industry. In The Oregonian An
nual, which will appear January
1, 1915, there will be a full
presentation of this important
subject.

of dum dum, the nose of the bullet hav
ing lead inserted, while the steel jacket
is slit down the four sides, making the
bullet much more destructive than the
old dum dum. These cartridges, the
Germans say. were made by Ely Bros.
of Gray's Inn road, London. Pictures
of wounds made by bullets of this kind
which have been filed with the Secre
tary of State show that the bullets
make a small hole when entering the
body, but spread and tear a great hole
where they emerge.-
The British deny using the 'bullets.
AMERICAN GUNS ON WAY
Siege Artillery Made in United
States to Be TJsed by Russians.
SEATTLE, Dec. 19. Tho arrival of
-Vmerican-made heavy artillery is ex
pected to be of great advantage to the
Kussian army in Poland next month.
The Russian-volunteer fleet steamship
Novgorod, now on the ocean bound from
Vancouver to Vladivostok, is carrying
165 carloads of war supplies, mostly
siege guns and projectiles. . The guns,
made in Pennsylvania, weighed 105 tons
each.
Other trainloads of - American big
guns and shells are on tho way to Van
couver, . to be loaded on- the Kussian
liner Tambov, which will arrive at
Vancouver December 31.
The Russians are using French siege
guns and are reported to have received
Japanese guns recently. January should
see the. American guns tested in com
petition with those manufactured in
Germany, France and Japan.
LANE MAKES CONCESSION
(Continued From First Page.)
have been examining various possible
projects in Eastern Oregon, the Tumalo
extension among them. - - -
Enelnm Report Not Filed.
That report of engineers has not
yet been filed and until it is of record
Secretary Lane will give no intimation
as to what project they favor. The
secretary assured his callers today that
he maintains his view that Oregon has
been discriminated against in the past
In the distrbutlon of reclamation money
and that it should receive Its Just
deserts from ths time on.
In view ef Secretary Lane's state
ment to him today. Representative
Sinnott will ask the Secretary to ap
pear before the irrigation committee
before it reports the bill making the
appropriation for irrigation projects
for the next fiscal year and will also
ask officials of the Reclamation Serv
ice to appear, for he is confident that
when the entire record is laid bare the
committee will appropriate .not less
than $450,000 for some new Government
project In Oregon.. ,
Co operative Idea May Be Dropped.
Senator Lane did not attend the con
ference today, though he and Senator
Chamberlain called on the Secretary
ten days ago without oDtaining satis
factory assurance. Senators Chamber
lAln and Lane and Representative Sin
nott have had extended correspondence
with the Interior Department regard
ing this co-operativo project, but the
winning over of Secretary Lane was ac
complished by - Sinnott and Chamber
lain today.
Before Senator Chamberlain and Rep
resentative Sinnott left the department
Secretary. Lane told them explicitly
that he. would not sanction the use of
the money he has allotted for any but
co-operative work and under-the terms
of agreement, as he understands them,
but if Congress desires to make the ap
propriation without condition he then
will be willing to drop the co-operative
idea. i '
This is what Mr. Sinnott urged him
to do when he called on him a week
ago.
Emp-eror William Visits Wounded.
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 19. (Via Lon

along. More than once as night was
closing In we have been brought to a
halt by a prodigious snorting and a
blinding white light a hundred feet
ahead of us. Wo stop, and then work
our way tentatively along the edge ot
the road until we have gotten out of
the zone of the blinding light and the
snorting.
What we passed was a steam roller
with a stone crusher attachment. The
German soldiers and the French peas
ants who are operating It will work
all night so that the ' road may be In
shape for the passing of the first am
munition train in the early morning.
Officers Salute Wounded.
Sad, slow moving figures are in the
train moving hour by hour up to and
away from the camp and the intrench
ments figures of pale, bandaged men
lying in the bottom of farm wagons
that have been bedded with straw.
Many of them are too weak or too
heavily bandaged to be able to salute
as the officers sweep by them in the
automobiles, but the officers salute
them most punctiliously. Sometimes
they order the chauffeurs to halt and
their richly embossed cigar cases are
emptied of their contents . Into the
straw-bedded farm wagons. The men
smile wanly or feebly waggle a sound
arm. The officers salute again and
their cars rush on.
. We. are drawing near to the camp,
halting as we reach the steep lane that
leads to it behind an army wagon that
is piled high with neatly wrapped par
cels. They look as if they might have
come from a State streets department
store in the last weeks of Christmas
shopping, so carefully wrapped are
they - and so gay with colored string.
A hundred soldiers, bareheaded, laugh
ing, shouting, their hands stretched to
the parcel distributors, are standing
around the wagon.
This. is a great, glad hour for them,
for this wagon has brought them gifts
from some German city perhaps 200
miles away. Here -are cigars, cigar
ettes, sweetmeats, woolens, field poSt
cards, song books, knee warmers for
the men in the trenches, lead pencils,
cakes of chocolate, and such like ar
ticles either useful or dainty.
"Llebeagaben" Come by Trainloads.
"Liebesgaben" (love gifts), the Ger
man call these consignments which
come by trainload and wagonload from
the Fatherland, and more often than
not they arrive without specific ad
dress, but in mass "fur unserer soi
daten" (for our soldiers).
Half a mile to the south of the dense
ly wooded height in which the camp is
hidden, a yellow war balloon Is sway
ing softly against the gray Autumn
sky. It Is like no ordinary balloon, be
ing not pear shaped, but a long sack
that hangs slanting, and from the long
and curiously weighted rope that de
pends from it, which looks like a drag
on's tail, is known as a "dragon bal
loon." It is shaped as it is because it
always keeps its head to the wind and
stands better than the pear-shaped bal
loon. . The German army has had them
20 years. The French used to laugh at
them. They envy the Germans their
possession now. "Our dragons," said a
German officer, "they are of the great
est value."
As you climb the steep incline that
leads into the camp, you hear the kling
of telephone bells, the hum of voices in
sleepy conversation, and from the trees
above the crackle of dry twigs, the
rustle of leaves, and the sound of more
strident, voices which, when they 'first
fall on your ear, seem to be engaged in
the monotonous repetition of tables of
measures out of the arithmetic. Then
you realize that the lookouts aloft are
receiving and forwarding telephone
messages relative to artillery fire.
Gail Directed by Telephone.
They are watching the batteries post
ed a mile or two miles away, and if the
effect of the fire does not satisfy them,
they chant Instructions into telephones
leading direct to the batteries. "Twen
ty meters to the left," they say, or
"Too short," or "Thirty meters to the
right"
Other men in other trees are watch
ing other batteries and their singsong
mingles with the other. Sometimes it
is like nothing so much as the droning
of a tailor when he takes your measure
for a suit of clothes, and is echoed by
his assistant, who puts the measure
ments down in a big book.
Always the singsong la followed by
remote explosions and if you are In
the treetops, too, you can see combs of
fire leaping from a crest half way
across the valley.
While this- chanting and pounding
goes on hour by hour, tired men, rest
ing after 24 or 36 hours in the trenches,
are sitting in front of little huts which
run along the most thickly wooded side
of the camp. It is from them that the
sleepy hum of conversation comes. In
side the huts other men are sleeping,
snoring triumphantly.
God, Nothing Else, Is Feared.
In the first hut three Bavarians . are
stretched out on straw that is bedded
two feet deep in a kind of stall. On a
beam above their heads are chalked In
ornate Gothic letters words which are
here translated awkwardly in order to
preserve the literalness:
: WE BAVARIANS FEAR GOD, :
: . :
: and Beside That
J NOTHING ELSE IN THES :
: WORLD. :
One assertive individual has pro
claimed himself and his abode to the
world by means of a doorplate that
reads "Klein aber Mein" (little, but
mine").
A hut inhabited by six private sol
diers is placarded with the words "To
the Wolfs Cave." Three of . the
"wolves" in question are grinning at
the American visitor from behind a
pane of glass which is the chief glory
of their hut Their comments are pro
foundly guttural, but there is no snarl
in them at all. . Keep them out of a
fight and they will harm nobody but
only sing plaintive Bavarian songs like
"Muss i" denn?"
The houses are capitally built, partly
of logs cut In the surrounding forest
and partly of rough planking brought
from French villages or in carload lots
from Germany to the end of the line
of railway communication, and thence

by wagon to the camp. The roofs, and
sometimes the sides, of the huts are
thatched with pine boughs, and to some
of the ridge poles little evergreen trees
have been fastened.
Place Seems Made for Children.
Grim as is the business that has
brought the men here, they seem to be
living in the atmosphere of an all-the-
year-round Christmas dolls' houses
lettered in colored chalk, roofs of liv
lng green, giants going In and out of
tiny doorways, and sleepy laughter,
and the excited opening of the pack
ages of love gifts. Children would love
the place but it is no place for chil
dren. ' Lace curtains at the little glass win
dows! Aye, and clean lace curtains,
too. Curtains and glass were brought
up from the villages along with an oc-
casional chromo of some pastoral scene,
taken perhaps from the inn parlor of a
village that now lies shot to death. As
a work of art the chromo is appalling.
but the spirit of rustic peace in It no
doubt comforts the heart of a homesick
Bavarian and carries his thoughts back
to a village among his own hills.
Besides, on a wet day and most of
the days are wet the chromo puts a
warming splash of color into a man's
house. . This ia desirable, because until
the fog rolls up the heights at evening
no fires are allowed in the camp, either
for cooking or for comfort. Nothing
would more certainly draw the enemy's
attention than a campflre. So one
wraps a wet overcoat closer around
him, scrunches deeper into the straw
and thinks of times when he used to
raise an unholy row at home when the
household routine did not move just so.
Linoleum TJaed ' as Wall Paper.
Lace curtains are not the sole sign of
high living in these quarters. The in
side of one house has been lined two
thirds the height of the walls with, lino
leum, also beyond peradventure a spoil
of war.
It is curious how, even in a rough
camp on the battle front, the human at
tributes and impulses that spring of
possession and nonpossesslon Instantly
manifest themselves. With a candor
that makes it to him the best of com
pliments you envy the soldier whose
hut is lined with linoleum. Men come
into that hut and run their hands over
the linoleum with absolute awe. Can
it bo real? Is there so much luxury and
splendor In the world? Ah. well! The
gods have their own scheme for the
distribution of their gifts, and various
is the fortune of war.
But the fact remains that here in this
dripping wood and amid the incessant
pounding of the batteries are the lace
curtains and the linoleum. The man
whose palace they adorn affects to take
them lightly. He would, not be too
proud. But you can see that the men
who are for the moment his guests are
oppressed and humble.
The truth Is. too. that tho soldiers in
this camp where there is so much cozi
ness and so much solid comfort after
you get the hang of the way of living
are in many ways more agreeably
housed than are the Generals and staff
officers in the bleak French chateaus
four or five miles back of the firing
line stately old palaces some of these,
but difficult to warm and often far
from sanitary.
The great salons that the officers use
as dining-rooms can be warmed for at
least half their length by great fire
places, but when the staff' goes to bed
there is much histrionic shuddering as
spurred boots go climbing up the broad
stone stairways to chambers that are
like tombs. Even the thought that Na
poleon gave to one of his best generals
the particular chateau in which I shud
dered yesterday, failed to warm my
extremities.
