THIS HAS BEEN A BAD YEAR FOR BASEBALL
(United Press Leased Wire)
Paris, Sept. 14. "The German . retreat continues
everywhere announced the Bordeaux war office, in a
message received here at 3:30 p. m. today.
The kaiser's troops prepared a line of defenses north
of the river Aisne, in the vicinity of Rheims, it was stated,
and endeavored to make a stand, but were overwhelmed
by force of numbers, and compelled to continue their -retirement.
"The Germans have evacuated Amiens," announced
General Gallieni this afternoon, "and are retreating in the j
direction of Personne and Saint Quentin.
"From Nancy and the Vosges the German retreat is
general.
"The Germans have completely evacuated French ter
ritory in this vicinity."
CROWN PRINCE IS HARD PRESSED
London, Sept. 14. The German crown prince's army
about Verdun was hard pressed today, the oficial war in
formation bureau here announced this evening.
Those of the prince's troops who had crossed the river
Aisne were driven back.
As a result of the French assault, the prince himself
was compelled to transfer his headquarters from St. Men
chould, 23 miles southwest of Verdun, to Montfauson, 15
miles to the northwestward.
Officials said the German, attack on Verdun must cease
soon or the crown prince will be m daflgerrrfeaBturje
' They added that- alHndications pointed to.a hasty Ger
man retreat toward Stenay Gap.
FRENCH CALL VICTORY BRILLIANT.
Washington, Sept. 14. A telegram received at the
French embassy today from Bordeaux said:
"General Joffre has informed the government that our
victory is becoming more and more complete and brilliant.
He says the enemy is in full retreat."
The same dispatch declared the Austrians were retreat
ing along the entire battle front before the Russians.
RETREAT BECOMES LESS RAPID.
Paris, Sept. 14. The German forces' retreat before
the Franco-British allies was becoming less rapid today,
The retiring armies were also beginning to resist their
pursuers more vigorously than heretofore.
It was considered plain that the kaiser's general staff
was attempting a reorganization of its campaign.
The Germans continued to evacuate the extreme north
of France and northern Belgium, but were co'ncentrating
in increasing numbers on the eastern French frontier. i
Nevertheless, it was the view here that the worst of
the German peril had passed. Fighting continued.
The French general staff, according to Bordeaux mes
sages, fully realizes that, despite the repulse the kaiser's
troops have suffered, German soil is still' intact. It was
said to be the staff's view that permanent peace is impos
sible until its terms are dictated in Berlin.
REVOLT IN INDIA DENIED
Washington, Sept. 14. Flat denial of reports that a
revolution had started in India was made here this after
noon by officials of the British embassy.
GERMAN OFFENSE COMPLETELY BROKEN
By William Philip Sims.
(Copyright, 1914, by the United Press.)
Paris, Sept. 14. Declaring the danger of a siege was
past, General Gallieni, the military governor of Paris, has
notified War Minister Millerand that the seat of govern
ment may be brought back from Bordeaux at any time.
It was expected today that an official decree providing
for the transfer would be issued soon.
Most of the city's 500,000 defenders have been sent
into the field to help the allies.
Tomorrow's resumption, of Coast
leasrue baseball In Portland will be
delayed about half an hour beyond
regular starting? time, 3 o'clock. This
is due to the fact that the Beavers
are Jumping all the way from Los
Angeles. Buses will meet them tit

arrive in the morning, bringing along

While away the past fortnight, the
Beavers captured nine and lost eight
games, five of which were taken by
the lowly Solons.
A glance at the lineup of the Coast
league clubs will show that one might
truly attach the sobriquet of Tour
ists to the Beavers, If an adherence
is to be made to the schedule plan
followed out this year.
For instance, at the rate the clubs
are finishing up the season this year.
San Francisco, Oakland and the new
Mission club would have 21 weeks
each on the two bay district ball lots,
Los Angeles and Venice clubs have
18 weeks as it is in Los Angeles,
while the Beavers get but 15 weeks
at home.
Netx year Judge McCredle will
make a strong effort to get 1! or 20
weeks in Portland to make up for the
home service put in by the other
clubs. The 21 weeks at San Fran

The opening of the schools, scheduled for September

There are not enough railroad cars to bring the
wounded from the front. Even dining cars are being used
for hospital purposes. The Red Cross is begging funds,
indicating that its resources are exhausted.

Chicago, Sept. 14. It was learned today that Armour

to furnish 1,000,000 pounds of meat daily for one year.
The concern is arranging to divide the order with other
packing companies because Armour & Company has not
sufficient facilities to handle it alone

CROSS RIVER ON DEAD BODIES - '
Paris, S6ptTWouriaed soldiers "arriving from the
fighting front today described the losses during the criti
cal stage of the fightiag between the allies and Germans
just before the latter began falling back as appalling al
most beyond belief.
The Marne was repeatedly spoken of as being literal
ly filled with corpses at points where crossings were at
tempted, and in places where charges were made against
the machine guns it was declared the ground was strewn
so thickly with bodies that it was hardly possible to walk
without stepping on them.
Of the wounded Germans who fought the English,
large numbers suffered from frightful bayonet, thrusts.
Those who received rifle wounds escaped comparatively
lightly, the high power of the guns and small calibre of the
bullets sparing the mangling of flesh and crushing of
bones, but those who wer struck by fragments of burst
ing shells were frightfully injured.
FIRST SIGHT OF GERMAN BACKS
London, Sept. 14. Part of General French's report
referring to the fighting betwen September 6 and 10 said:
"On ; September 6, large German forces crossed the
Marne and pushed back the British right. The French
attacked them that night, capturing three villages at the
point of the paybnet.
"September 7 the allies advanced, the British having
reinforced the French, and pushed against the Germans,
who were in strength on the river Ourcq. It soon de
veloped that the Germans had been weakened by the de
tachment of large forces withdrawn for operations to the
eastward and an attack by the allies was decided on.
"The German commander, apparently realizing that
his own flank was in danger, ordered a retreat to the
northeastward.
"This was the first time the Germans had turned
their backs since they drove the allies from Mons.
"From that time, however, their retreat has been rapid
and continuous." , , -
