Gains by the Trench troops at one point the heights of La Falie, in the Artois region are reported in the French official report today. At the same time. Field. Marshal Bir John French reports that on Friday night the British troops "achieved their objective" by a counter-attack near Fosse. France. This objective was two trenches which the Germans had re captured previously in a counter-attack, after having lost them. London military experts deduce from the reports that the general attack has abated somewhat in intensity, having for the present lost its character as a great "drive," while the allies are busy consolidating their positions already won. Early Resumption Expected. Tt is fully expected, that the drive will be resumed, but no one will predict when or at what point. It is reported from Paris that French war authorities expected to lose one-third of the men engaged in the recent advance and that they have found their losses to have been only 11 per cent. Artillery duels of unexampled in tensity, however, continue all along the line. The Germans are hampering the allies as much as possible in their work of reorganizing the ground won, and counter attacks are frequent, but these do not gain the measure of general engagements. Air Squadrons Active. The airmen have been unusually active. The German lines of com munication are frequently attacked. Sixty-five French aeroplanes today bombarded the railroad station at Vouziers and the aviation grounds near Challergne, according to the report is sued tonight by the French War Office. The German War Office declares that British counter attacks have failed and that the total of allied prisoners taken has been increased to 211 officers and 10.751 men. The text of today"s French official report' is: "In the Artois district, the artillery of the enemy yesterday bombarded violent ly our positions to the east of Vouchez. Kevertheless. we made perceptible progress from trench to trench on the heights of La Folie. Important Salient Captured. "In the Champagne district the Ger mans bombarded last night our new lines near St. Legrange. To the east of the Navarln farm our troops con quered an important section of the po sitions of the enemy, which constituted a salient of the actual line to the north of Mesnil. "In Lorraine German reconnolterlng parties have attacked two of our posts near Moncel and Sorneville. They were repulsed and pursued by French troops back to their own lines. The night passed quietly on the remainder of the front. "Squadrons of french airships have thrown down a large number of pro jectiles on the railroad stations and the railroad lines behind the German front, particularly at the junction of Guignlcourt-Amifontaine." Germans Deny British Gains. Tno Berlin official report says: "By & counter attack the English Jsst night endeavored to retake the land north of Loos which we wrested from them during the fighting in the last few days, but the attempt failed with sanguinary losses. "French attacks southwest of An rres, east of Souches and also north of Jeuville were repulsed. "The number of prisoners taken by ur troops in the sector covered by the Knglish-French attack now has been increased to 106 officers and 6642 men. We also captured 26 machine guns. "In the Champagne the French at tacked during the afternoon east of Auberlve over a wide front. The at tack failed. Only at one point did the enemy penetrate our position. Our troops went forward In a counter-attack and took one officer and 70 men prisoners. The remainder of the sol diers who penetrated the position were killed. "Krench attacks north of L Mesnil, northwest of Ville-sur-Tourbe.. were repulsed. In repulsing the attacks of the last few days northeast of Le Mes nil. the Twenty-ninth reserve regi ment especially distinguished itself. Prisoners Number Nearly 11,000. "The total number of nrknn.r. a booty taken in the fighting north of Arras and in the Champagne was in creased to 211 officers. 10.731 men and maciiino guns. "A bomb attack made hv an ri squadron from Taris on Laon resulted in the death of one woman and one child, while one civilian was injured Our anti-aircraft guns shot down an aeroplane south of Laon and made the occupants prisoners. Another enemy aeroplane fell In a burning condition iien over oissons. HOT LAKE IS RENDEZVOUS Portland Physicians Among Those to Speak at Convention. LA GRANDE. Or.. Oct. 2.

WEAK SPOTS POINTED OUT Chairman of Senate Committee on Military Affarls Says Ability to Take Care of Itseir Js Country's Only Assurance. (Continued From First pi. must mete out to Great Britain, for Great Britain was equally a violator of the rights for which we contended. International Law Held Broken. "The underlying principle that the international rules of civilized nations shall be observed by belligerents has been violated by nearly all of the bel ligerent nations and with them the neutral nations must deal. "America will never be a Nation of militarists. The programme for the reorganization of our standing army is not militaristic It contemplates only the increase of the Army to about 200,000 men to form a nucleus around which the great untrained mass of Vol unteers can be rallied and trained in case of need. "It is nonsense to minimize the pos sibility of 'aggression from without after the present war in Europe. After the war in Europe the United States will be about the only orchard left In the world out of which all may pluck if they see fit. Military experts have estimated that it is possible for any of the great powers of Europe to land 200.000 troops in the United States within 25 days. Danger of Conquest Cited. "Do you realize that if a force could he landed in the United States to take New York. Pennsylvania and Massa chusetts which is absolutely a mili tary possibility they would then have possession of all but one of the fac tories in this country which are capa ble of producing munitions of war, and we would be absolutely at their mercy?

Immediately seized all the German possessions in the Orient. "Could we expect that in case we became Involved in trouble with Great Britain that we would be treated any better by Japan than was Germany in the present war?" Senator Chamberlain pointed to the inadequacy of our merchant marine at the present time to furnish supplies to the Navy and coast defenses in case of war. "For years it has been necessary to carry coal and supplies to the Mare Island Navy-Yard in British bottoms," he said. British Bottoms Vsed. "When Roosevelt sent our Navy around the world to impress the na tions with our strength. It w;as neces sary to carry the supplies and coal and munitions for the warships in British bottoms "As' to our coast defenses at the present time, we have harbor defenses but we have no coast-line defenses. Harbor defenses, so called, unless they are covered by adequate coastline de fenses, are a liability rather than an asset in case of war, for it becomes necessary for the land trops to be brought up to defend them from at tack from the shore side and a large portion of the field armies is thus rendered practically immobile. "The Hawaiian Islands are one of the strongest and practically the only coast-line defense for the Pacific Coast.' Our insular possessions as a part of our coastline defense ought to be prac tically on a war footing to play their part in adequate military prepared ness, for as things now are it would be impossible for us to rush either men or supplies to them in case of war. 3Vnvy Held Prime Need. "And we must have a navy equal to the best navy In the world, for we must look especially to it for the de fense of our coast line. "I differ most radically from those who say that military training will make a dangerously militaristic spirit in our citizens. Switzerland is not a militaristic nation, and yet within 48 hours she-was able to mobilize 300,000 trained soldiers taken from the ordi nary walks of life. These men had begun their train in the schools as boys, and when they reached maturity they were already so proficient that the time necessary for them to devote to further training was insignificant. "The agricultural colleges of the United States have military training. ana yet X do not know or any of the young men in the regiment that gradu ated from the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, say last year, who sought to go into the Army. They went into the peaceful occupations of life, but in their course "in college they had re ceived that training which will make them effective and efficient soldiers for the country in case need arises. "If I had my way, every school and college in the land which receives state or Federal aid would Install military training. "We may agree not to become in volved in war and to arbitrate our dif ficulties, but we cannot by this means eliminate aggression and greed from the earth. When the time comes for trouble, nations do not pajf any too much attention to treaties, "All the arbitration in the world cannot keep the United States on a footing of peace unless she is ade quately prepared to resist aggression. "I voted for all of the 28 arbitra tion treaties of Mr. Bryan when they were ratified, but what does a treaty count when the stress conies? The treaty that was designed to protect Belgium in her neutrality among all the great powers of the world has been violated by all those powers that en tered into it within the past few months." W. S. U'Ren Indorsed the Idea of adopting the Swiss military system, but urged that the manufacturer of munitions be made a Government en terprise instead of being let to private concerns. Senator Chamberlain said the expenditure with private concerns for munitions now is only about 25 per cent of the appropriation. SELF-HELP IS ADVISED BX-GOV. HERHICK TELLS FARMER I-O CO-OPERATE FOR CREDIT. Counsel Given Acalnat Invoking Aid of Federal Treasury Danaer of Movement Pointed Out. LOS ANGELES. Oct. 2. Myron T. Herrlck. ex-Governor of Ohio and re cently Ambassador to France, told a gathering of business men at a Cham ber of Commerce smoker tonight that co-operation and not the aid of the National Treasury was the proper method of solving the problem of rural credits. The farmers, he said, should form organizations like that of the news papers that make up the Associated Press uncapitalized, non-prof It-mak. Ing associations, managed by the mem bers themselves and free from political influences. Proper enabling and regu latory laws, he declared, were an Im mediate necessity. "There were some SO.mu hiu. sented In the last Congress concerning rural credits." said Mr. Herrlck. "For tunately none was pnartul urn i, for practically all of them provide for '"8 money out of the treasury. "e country wakens soon to the danger of letting this movement run wild, laws are liable to be passed that ""' '"vuive me credit of state and nation in rarm mortgaging during crops ana nnanclal de pression.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2. Danger of an Immediate break between the United States over the torpedoing of the Ar abic, with the loss of two American lives, has been averted by the assur ances contained in a note received per sonally here today by Secretary Lan sing from Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador. Neither the Sec retary of State nor the German Am bassador would make any statement. the Ambassador was with Mr. Lan sing only a few minutes, during which tne latter did not express any view on the note. 'assuring Count von'Bern storff he would notify hltn of the time for the next conference after he had studied the communication carefully. Krrer Believed Admitted. There was nothing to Indicaterthat the new German note met entirely the viewpoint or the United States, but. inasmuch as the American Government made it clear to Count von Bernstorff mrornally that disavowal of the sink ing of the Arabic was absolutely nec essary before there could be another further negotiation of arbitrations of the 'amount of Indemnity, the general nference was that the Berlin Forelsrn Office had taken th view that the German submarine commander must have erred in assuming that the Arabic was Intent on a hostile act. It was pointed out as significant In German quarters that when the Ger man government sent Its first note on tne Arabic offering to arbitrate tho questions of fact In the case, the evi dence collected by tho American Gov ernment was not before it. Since that time the data carefully obtained lv the United States and held bv the Washington Government to be abso lutely conclusive that the Arahlc was not attempting to ram the German submarine have leen placed before the Berlin Foreign Office. Von Bernstorff Appears Pleased. The prevalent view tonicht w. thni Germany had admitted the error of her submarine commander, but wished to arbitrate the extent to which Germany was liable under the circumstances for a mistake. Whether this would be sat isfactory has never been indicated by Washington officials, though it has been made plain that the Drincinlrs in volved would not be made the subject of discussion in an arbitral tribunal. Count von Bernstorff at his hotel n- pearei much pleased with the contents of the new note, which probably will oe puDlisnen in a day or two. He an nounced that he expected to return to Washington with his embassy staff at the end of the present month. it was learned authoritatively that the subject of Captain von Papen was not mentioned. Secretary Lansing has not yet had an opportunity to examine the documents carried by James F. Archibald in which were letters from Captain von Papen.
