THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 16, 191T. 5 GERMAN GUHS SEEK ALLIED GAS DEVICES Artillery Duel of Heavy Propor tions Takes Place in Out skirts of Lens. FRENCH RETAKE TRENCHES Teuton Force Ejected From Posi tions in Verdun Sector English Make Slight Advance to Ka&t of Westhaek. fBy the Canadian Prs.) CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Sept. 15. There have been no infantry engagements on the Ca nadian front during the oast few days. The enemy has apparently given up patrolling in the chaos of wrecked houses, of which No Man's Land con sists, on the greater part of the front. Retaliation for the recent projection of fas into Lens wap not swift, but when it came it was vigorous ind direct. On Friday afternoon the German trench mortars opened fire on our lines to the west of Lens, where the enemy perhaps believed our gas projectors were located. After the mortars had been going for some time, enemy guns, light and heavy, were also turned loose on this section of the front. In response our artillery put a bairge on the German line and silenced their trench mortars, but the violent artillery duel continued for several hours. I believe that there has been no concentration of Infantry there, nor any other indication of an intention to at tack. The. only reasonable explana tion of the enemy's marked activity is that his losses from our gas attacks have been so serious that even at great cost in projectiles he was deter mined to search that part of the line from which he believed the attacks came in the hope of locating and de tro; ing the projectors. The situation of the Germans in the center of Lens, with the vigilant ene my on high ground to the north nd southwest, is not a. happy one. . The bombardment was renewed during the Tilght. when gas shells were used by the Germans, but this morning rain Is falling heavily and. all is quiet. PARIS. Sept. 15.

DIARY DESCRIBES LOOTING Prlcele&s Paintings Taken From Mu seums to Dugouts -Municipal and CJiurch Valuables Sent Back to German Cities. (Bv the Associated Presa. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE AND BJULiGIUM, Sept. 15. German military authorities on the western front have shown concern about the imminence of the American Army's entry into the fighting by offer ing rewards for the production of the first American prisoners. The General commanding the Eleventh Reserve Di vision recently put the price of 4 00 marks on the first American soldier brought dead or alive, into his lines. This information has been disclosed by the diary of a Prussian sergeant of the Twenty-third Reserve Infantry Regiment. He wrote at the end of July: Reward Offered for American. "We are supposed to have had Amer icans opposite us for some time now, and two divisions of Portuguese on our right. The man who brings In the first American, dead or alive, to head quarters has been promised the iron cross of the first class, 400. marks and 14 days leave from the division." The diary, which covers a period of nearly two months, describes in detail the destruction of an important indus trial town by the Germans and its transformation by a German army com mander into a great mass of fortified ruins. Batteries have been planted In the cellars of private houses, factories and public buildings, which have been partly demolished to give a better field for the fire, while the streets and squares and even the city cemetery have been torn up and enmeshed with wire to provide positions for groups of machine guns. Cathedral. Are Sacked. The diary descri bes how the troops quartered in the city spent their time when not on duty in firing machine guns from the barricaded windows and the roofs of buildings left standing, and in searching for hidden treasure and in digging among the ruins for silverware. The sergeant tells how his friends found gold watches and priceless paint ings from the museums, statuary and other works of art which they are hoarding in their dugouts. The ca thedrals were sacked as well as the other public buildings. The German authorities have removed the bulk of the municipal and ecclesiastical valua bles to Germany, but many of the in habitants who were evicted, from their homes at a few hours notice when the city was cleared before its destruction had no opportunity to remove their private possessions and tried to hide them. The German soldiers, it seems, were eager to serve at St. Quentin be cause of - the chances for "treasure hunts" there. The diary does not indicate any marked depreciation of the German morale, but emphasizes the discomfort of the conditions of life in the field and the terrible accuracy of the French gunners, who give the Germans no rest. CAPTIVES ARE STARVED LABOR BATTALIONS CXJT FROM TO BOO BY DISEASE. German Officers Afraid t He turn Pris oners to Internment Camps Because of Effect on People WASHINGTON, Sent. 15 Another chapter is added to the story of the tortures of German vrison camps by a out food, to beatings with rifle butts ing with a knife under the electrically charged fence along the Antwerp Ro sendaal line. It has been forwarded to the State Department from Petrograd. Brutal treatment and poor and in sufficient food have cost Germany the labor of thousands of prisoners, he says. One labor battalion on the west ern front, consisting of 2000 men, has been reduced by starvation, exposure, beatings and death to less than 000 The unfit, the wounded and. those who Kae lost members of their body were kept in invalid, camps until they died, but never, he says, returned to camps in Germany because the officers ii command feared the psychological ef feet upon the people of the sight of the maimed men, often little more than animated skeletons. Stern and implacable methods were used to compel prisoners to work. In genious tortures that ended only short of death were inflicted on some, while others were shot outright. Punish ments varied from enforced standing at attention for a day at a time with out food to beatings with rifle butts and to hours of suspension in the air with ropes being tied to the wrists.

Use Cocoanut Oil for Washing Hair If yoa want to keep- your hair in good condition be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone In the family for months. Adv. ' Heating Stoves ! America's Best Stoves MADE BY THE Bridge Beach Mfg. Co. FOR THE PAST 77 TEARS.
