Plana hav been perfected for th
transporation of th munitions to

r.ly landed and distributed among
the natives. When th time Is rip, tb
signal for the uprising will be given.
The British government Is aliv to
th German purpose and Is exercising
th greatest vlgllanc to effect It
failure. Both tha United Statea and
th Netherlands have been informed
of th efforts being mad to us their
Kastern territories aa oaae of oper
ations against th colony of a friendly
power. British and Japanese warships
sedulously are patrolling th waters
leading from the Philippine and the
Dutch East India to India.
Through tha efficient Information
system, best described In Rudyard Kip
ling's "Kim." tha activities of the Ger
man agents within India are being
watched carefully. In addition, the
necessary military measures have been
taken to suppress any revolt that may
occur.

Th South African revolt was prompt
ly quelled, and tha world waa f- r
nlshed tha spectacle of men con
quered li years ago by tha Britisn
fighting for the continuance of British
rule. Instead of India proving a source
of trouble to th British. It proved a
source of assistance; for Indian Princes
offered their fortun to the British
crown, and Indian troops volunteered
for service in Europe. The large fore
assembled In Kgypt prevented a suc
cessful movement by tha Egyptian na
tionalists. When Turkey Joined Germany and
Austro-Hungary, it '-as feared tha
"holy war" proclaimed by tha Sultan
would cause an outbreak by the Mo
hammedans In India and Egypt.
There haa been soma trouble. It la
known, but tha British authorities have
tha situation well In hand. It is to
bring their work to naught, to stir tha
natives up to attack and to end British
rule In India that tha Germans are ao

Oregon, Particularly Jack

Hundreds of men today are fighting
forest fires in Western and Southern
Oregon, covering thousands of acres,
and mora will be called out if necessary-Indications
at a late hour last night
pointed to high fears on the part of
forest officials and rangers that the
excessive heat, long dry spell and high
winds, prevailing in the mountain
country for the past three or four
days, would mean a disastrous forest
season not known in the state since
1910.
A few miles southwest of Mount
Hood, on the Salmon River, already
more than 1000 acres of valuable tim
ber have been .Ire-swept, and the dan
ger is not yet passed. Fully 100 men
are at work in that district.
In the Cascades In Eastern Clacka
mas County, more than 150 men will
be fighting before Sunday is far spent.
Three dangerous fires and a acore of
smaller fires are giving great concern
in the thickly timbered Cascade coun
try. For a time it was feared several
families had been entrapped by the
flames, but a change of wind late last
night relieved aft fears, and it is be
lieved danger to them is now passed.
MANY FIES RAGE IX CASCADES
Fighters Gather to Combat Blazes
Caused by Big Storm.
OREGON CITY. Or., Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) Three forest fires of serious
proportions are raging in the Cascades
in Eastern Clackamas County. A score
of smaller fires have been reported in
every part of tha county by hunters,
deputy game wardens and farmers.
The fires In the Cascades were start
ed principally by a thunder storm last
Monday. The most serious blazes are
back of Sandy, and scores of men from
Sandy, Cherryville and other Eastern
Clackamas communities have left for
the mountains to fight the fire. F. M.
Morgan, Joe Laundree. Al Edwards, P.
T. Shelly and Alfred Bell, of the Sandy
district, have been busy hauling men
and supplies to the mountain fires for
several days.
The largest fire near Sandy Is on
Shell Rock Mountain, near Clackamas
Lake, about 50 miles from the town.
This fire has covered about 700 acres
of timber. Another fire is on Bonpies
Butte, about 25 miles from Sandy.
Oak Grove Blase Serious.
Deputy Game Warden Ames returned
to Oregon City today after several
weeks in tha Upper Molalla and Ogle
Mountain districts. He brought in
word of a serious fire on the Oak Grove
Creek on the Upper Clackamas River,
which was started during the thunder
storm a week ago. The blaze is in
heavy timber and is doing considerable
damage. Owing to the remoteness of
the fire, it is difficult to fight. Its
extent is not definitely known, but
from meager reports. It Is certain that
it Is of considerable extent.
Another fierce blaze Is near Gagley

Saturday's War Moves
WHILE Petrograd unofficially ex
presses the opinion that the
Russians are on the eve of digging
themselves in and making a stand on a
new front, there are no indications as
yet of a halt in their retrograde move
ment or of any let-up in the Teuton
rush. w
On the contrary, the Austro-German
offensive has broken out again in a
sector where there had been compara
tive inactivity for the better part of
two months past in Eastern Galicia,
where the lines along the Dniester, the
Zlota Lipa and the Gilna Lipa have
changed only litt'e since early July
when the Teutonic armies swung north
and began the closing-in movement
which resulted in the Russian with
drawal from the Warsaw salient.
The early lines. Berlin contends,
have now been broken along the Zlota
Lipa and the Russians are in full re
treat under energetic German pursuit.
Apparently it is the Teutonic aim to
clear Galicia of Russian troops.
The retreat of Grand Duke Nicholas'
armies from Brest-Litovsk and the line
to the north is being harassed by Field
Marshal von Mackensen's armies and
those of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, the
latter having penetrated the Bleloviezh
-.t hiie southeast of Bialystok
General von Etchhorn has pushed east
ward as far as the town oi jarew.
In the north, however, where Vilna
and Dvinsk are at stake, the Russians
are offering a stiff resistance. At some
point, here, apparently, they have even
taken the offensive. Berlin declares
their attacks were repulsed.
On the front in France, the artillery
and the airmen have been active, but
infantry sallies from the trenches have
been lacking. Berlin says that French
air attacks on Ostend, Middelkerke and
Bruges were without success and that
in Mulheim, Baden, three persons killed
in a bomb attack were civilians.
Little change in the situation in the
Dardanelles is indicated by recent ad
vices, both official and unofficial. The
losses of the entente allies in the attack
made at Anafarta, while the recent
landing was taking place, are declared
by a correspondent at Turkish head
quarters to have been extremely heavy,
the killing alone being estimated at
about 6000.
Conferences are in progress between
British government officials and rep
resentatives of the Welsh miners,
among whom there is dissatisfaction
over the arbitration award following
the recent coal strike. Several thou
sand operatives have already gone out.
despite the advice of their leaders, 4000
being added yesterday to the number
on strike.

Chief Aides of Emperor Favor
Concession to America.
HOPE OF PEACE IS SEEN
Ruler's Personal Adviser on Xaval
Affairs, Admiral von Mueller,
Joins Others in Plea to Avoid
Complications With America.
BERLIN, via London, Aug. 28. Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German
Imperial Chancellor, and Admiral von
Tirpitz, Minister of Marine, who left
together on Wednesday evening to Join
the Emperor, are still at eastern head
quarters, where the Arabic case and the
submarine policy generally undoubtedly
have been the subjects of consideration.
No word has reached Berlin concern
ing the conference, and no develop
ments of any sorthave occurred In the
case here since the Chancellor's decla
ration of policy given in a statement
to the Associated Press last Wednesday,
Tea Mueller Favors Jagow.
Admiral von Mueller, chief of tha
private marine cabinet and the Em
peror's direct personal adviser on naval
affairs, also is with the Emperor. The
Admiral's influence, it is known, is
thrown with that of Dr. von Bethmann
Hollweg and Foreign Minister von
Jagow against complications with the
United States, and so, the opinion is
held here, there is no reason to change
the hopeful view of the situation ex
pressed after the Chancellor's state
ment. The exact wording of instructions is
sued to naval commanders has not been
divulged, and higher officials when
questioned avoid an answer, but it is
stated that they certainly include the
direction to attack no passenger steam
ers without adequate warning. Whether
this applies to freighters cannot be
learned, but the technical difficulties in
distinguishing a freighter from a pas
senger ship through a periscope would
in any case produce the same effect.
Arabic Sinking Not Reported.
The American Government is now
ostensibly in possession of the declara
tion of policy as contained In Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg's statement and ap
parently with the same limitations, this
having been conveyed by Minister von
Jagow to James W. Gerard, the Amer
ican Ambassador, at a conference
Wednesday noon.
No report on the sinking of the Ara
bic has yet been received, none of the
submarines which might possibly have
been involved having returned to port.
The Admiralty says that the report
may come any day, and may possibly
be delayed another fortnight. At least
that interval must elapse before the
last of the submarines operating south,
of Ireland returns.
