Portland retail grocers have prom lsed their aid toward making a suc cess of National Apple day by naming Special prices for the fruit on that day. It is generally understood that the retailers will charge but 25c a box above the actual wholesale price for the fruit. This will include delivery from the wholesalers to the retailer, and from the latter to the consumer. An official of the National Grocers' association was present at the meet 1 ing of the retailers last night, at which time a committee from the Portland Commercial club asked that the retail ers jump into the fight to relieve grow ers of as much of their crop as possi ble at the best prices obtainable. t J. Pier, one of the committee, staged that the prosperity of the apple growers affected alike all "interests and . asked that a special effort be made to increase the sales on National Apple day. :- It was stated thar the :' average sales on Front street were only about e a box above the price 1 paid to producer Bombs Exploded in i New York Churches St. Patrick's Cathedral 4vnftv Bt.

During: their demonstrations here last winter, Industrial Workers caused a disturbance in St. Alphonsus' church and Frank Tannenbaum and several of his folowers were arrested.

WAR SUMMARY BY J. W. T. MASON Former London Correspondent for the United Jress. -New York, Oct. 14. Germany's campaign in Russian Poland, which is now beginning to develop offen sive strength, has been conducted in its early stages with great skill. It seems evident that the advance on Warsaw was masked skillfully by operations 100 to 150 miles farther north. In the Niemen river district. The Russians apparently mistook the German advance toward the Nie men as the kaiser's main attack. The Petrograd general staff's eyes were not opened even by the strange cir cumstance that its second and third class fortresses in this region were ablo successfully to resist the Ger mans at the same time that vastly more powerful Belgian and French fortifications were falling before them. Of course it is evident now that the reason for this lay in the slenderhess of the German forces sent into the Niemen river country. Warsaw Xa German Goal. While the Russians were hurrying overwhelming armies into Suwalki province to resist the' Niemen river advance and triumphantly driving the kaiser s troops back into East Prus sia the real German offensive was developing against Warsaw. The Germans appeared today to have pushed armies of great strength practically without resistance, 150 miles past their frontier to the Vis tula, on which is situated the en trenched camp of Warsaw. In the meantime, such energies as the Russian General staff was not devoting to its Niemen river opera tions were being exerted to hasten the advance of the czar's ' troops through Galicia. ' . . In short, the Russians were mov ins forward in the north and south with supreme optimism, as official reports showed, jubilant ' at the . ina bility of the Germans in East Prussia or the Austrians in Galicia to stand against them and promising them selves to be in Berlin by Christmas, when, suddenly, between their north ern and southern armies,- tne Ger man general staff launched its coun ter offensive and they realized the danger into which their over cpnfi dence had led them. Russians Too Optimistic. They have had now to withdraw the force which was advancing on Cracow and operations in East Prus sla have become of minor importance. A new battle front, extending to the southward from the Warsaw district and presumably of the Germans' own choosing, is being forced upon them The same excess of. optimism which brought disaster to the czar's Initial offensive in East Prussia early in the war. ; seems now to be robbing his' forces of the fruits of their pre vious victories in Galicia, ' This waj the Slav weakness of the - Russo Japanese war and apparently it is as much a Slav weakness as ever. -- 'S MEN IN PRUSSIA German Writer Describes Rapine and Plundering of Cossacks as They Retired From German Invasion. COUNTRY RAVAGED BY DISAPPOINTED RUSSIANS Farms Were Burned, All Men of Fighting Age Shot, Women Attacked. By Karl H. von Wiegand. Konigsberg, East Prussia, Oct. 13. (By Wire to Berlin, thence by Wire less via Sayville.) The czar's Cos sacks left a bleeding trail of woe and desolation across the fertile fields of East Prussia as they swept backward into their own country, smarting un der the defeat suffered by them at German hands. I have reached here after a 600 mile automobile trip through this area, fol lowing a path of blasted lives, tor tured men, women and children and devastated homes, such as It is almost impossible to believe.x My journey was made by virtue of c special permit is sued by the German general staff. The battlefields of Tannenbere and NIedenburg were bad enough, but the countryside toldV the most appalling stones of rapine, murder and inhuman cruelty. Around NIedenburg the Russians sat isfied their lust by the violation of scores of defenseless peasant women. The country thereabouts was ravaged terribly. The czar's retreating troops took full revenge for their defeat on the women. Catholic sisters and young girls bore cruelties worse than .the tortures of . the battlefield, and then were left dying as the Muscovite hordes passed on. Young Men Killed. The Russians killed every male of "military age they encountered. The country was stripped of men between the ages of 14 and 45. Older men, too, who protested, were slaughtered. The Russian investment of Konigs berg was accompanied by the sama riot of lust as occurred at NIedenburg.' At -Xbacnwagsn, 10 miles fjrpm.Jb.er 57 men and women were shot, including eight boys between the ages of 14 and 19. I heard stones from some of the witnesses of this inferno of blood. One father saia: 'The Cossacks shot the people one by one. My wife and I fell on our knees and prayed to God to spare our boy of 14. The Russians bound us and Torced us to see him fall before their bullets as we appealed to heaven for aid." At Abschwagen I went to the sick bed of a young widow who raved of the horrors she had seen. Three Cos sacks compelle ' her to stand at a win dow and look on at the murder of her (Concluded on Fate Seven, Column Three) Tons of Potatoes Leave Medford By Parcel Post Route Medford, Or., Oct. 14.

ATTACK ON GERMANS TO LEFT SAVE EXTREME French Report No Change on Left and Right but Claim Progress in the Center, By William Philip Sims. Paris, Oct. 14. A resumption of the allies' attack on the German center waa. reported here today. .APJC-linff to mUJtary experts. French aviators had reported this part of the kaiser's line weakened by the transfer of troops to the northward. The re newed pressure on this weak spot, they declared, would compel a recall of these forces, which. In turn, would weaken the Teutonic right. The war office was silent on the sub ject. Today's official communication from Bordeaux said: "On our left, as far as the Oise, the situation is unchanged -At the center we are progressing in the region of Berry-au-Bac There is nothing to re port concerning our right Engagements in Belgium icauau in jBSiglum Belgian field there have -al engagements around lcuiarly on October 12 and "in the been severa Ghent, partlc 13 "The French and British have occu pied Ypres." That the Germans had the allies' ex treme left in a dangerous position was not denied. As a result of the lines' lengthening, this Franco-British wing now extends across the frontier into Belgium, par alleling the coast to Ostend, or a little beyond. Kxperts admitted today that the Germans could not have chosen a more favorable position in Europe for an at tempt to bottle up their adversaries. Channel Country Is riat. The Belgians having, though nar rowly, escaped Isolation at Antwerp, the Germans released from the siege of that city were advancing west and south toward the coast. At the same time a column detached from General von Boehm's army was moving on the channel, swinging in an arc in a north westerly direction. The country along the channel a this point is flat and unsuited to de-1 fensive fighting. To the north of th.i allies' wing is Holland, a neutral country. To the west of them is the channel. The logical thing seems to be for the wing to slip to the southward, if it can, along the coast until it finds a suitable spot for giving battle to th kaiser's troops. It was reported today that the allies were unsuccessfully opposing part of Von Boehm's forcesat Hazebrouck and unconfirmed reports give ground for the belief that the field of fighting is shifting to the southward from Os tend. - Lemberg Evacuated By the Russians Kapld Austrian Advance Airainst the Bussians in Oalida Xn dies ted by X. ports rrom Tienna.
