A revolu tion in India on a gigantic scaia is being fomented by th German govern ment. Tb details f th Carman operations which hav com into th possession of Th Oregonlan correspondent snow th usual systematic methods of th Berlin War Offlc. Larg quantities of arms and am munition hav been shipped from th L'nlled Statea and China to secret ports In th Philippines and tha Dutch East Indies. A large fore of German agents. Including Garman missionaries. haa been busy In seditious campaigning among th natives of tha great eastern possession of th British crown. t prUlaa- Slaasl Awaited. Plana hav been perfected for th transporation of th munitions to point In India where they can be 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. ladla Prlacea Offer Aid. 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.

At I o'clock the thermometer registered 100 de grees.

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 fConcludedon Page 2. Colu-nn '!)

In addition to being one of the warm est daya of the year, yesterday was perhaps one of the most peculiar be cause of the temperature registrations. At 2 o'clock the mercury stood at 90 and at 7 o'clock registered 87, rising seven degrees in three hours and drop ping 10 degrees, in two hours. The high degree of humidity was one of the rea sons for Portland sweltering. Hourly temperatures were as follows: 11 A- M S 7 P. M ot 12 Noon e-i 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. The Arabic Incident and Germany's submarine policy are the subjects of Concluded on Page 2. Column 3.) COMMENT. KAISER'S ADVISERS WOULD YIELD POINT Von Tirpitz Alone for Submarine Warfare. CONFERENCE RESULT SECRET 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. FRIENDLY WORD IS EXPECTED Von Bernstorff Goes to New York In Hope of Satisfactory Instructions. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.
