CHAMBERLAIN WARNS
AGAINST CALAMITY
L
Efforts Made by Republican
Organ to Mislead Voters
on Issues,
By Staff Correspondent.
Grants Pass, Or.. Oct. 23. Senator
George E. Chamberlain, continuing his
Ltriumphal tour of southern Oregon,
tpo.e oeiore an audience of over 600
People In the opera house of this city
last night. The fact that Grants Pass
is the former home of Robert A.
Eooth, his Republican opponent, did
not lessen in the least the warmth of
his welcome. Grants Pass, knowing
Chamberlain, received him enthusi
astically with typical southern Oregon
hospitality, with faith and confidence
in Chamberlain, the man, and with as
surances of support in the coming
election.
In speaking to the people of this
city the senator described the efforts
of tho great Republican paper of the
Btate to mislead the people on issues
now before them and on the accom
plishments of the Wilson administra
tion, particularly the revision of the
tariff downward. He decried the
calamity howling press that preached,
hard times on their editorial pages
and gave the lie to their own claims
on the market pages.
Wool and Wheat Soaring.
"Wheat." said the senator, "is bring
ing record breaking prices. "Wool has
never been higher , and the Oregon
sheepmen who first protested against
the removal of duty on wool are now
reiuaing io contract ror their next
year's clip, in he hope of getting still
more of an, advance on the present
rising market
"Honestly, instead of making this a
bread and butter campaign my oppo
nents are trying to make it a butter
and egg campaign. They scream about
Chinese eggs, and eggs range around
40 cents the dozen; and New Zealand
butter, yet butter is so high that
everyone has to use it sparingly "
. From the tariff Senator Chamber
lain turned to the other measuaes of
the administration which are for the
good of masses the income tax.
federal reserve act, trades commission
bill and the Clayton anti-trust act.
His explanations of tbe Wilson meas
ures were listened to with marked at
tention and interest by his audience,
which .expressed its approval of the
many beneficent features by frequent
applause. T
, Sepreaents the People.
Professor R. R.- Turner, formerly of
Grants Pass but now register of the
land office at Roseburg, acted as
chaiman of the meeting. Robert G.
Smith made the speech of Introduc-"
tion. ."Senator Chamberlain has al
ways run on the Democratic ticket,"
he said, "but the election of a United
States senator is no longer a question
of what party the man belongs to but
whether he . represents the people.
George Chamberlain is that type 0f a
man." That the audience agreed with
him was evidenced by the anolause
that followed.
Senator Chamberlain reached Grants
Pass last night about S o'clock, after
an entire day spent in . the northern
part of Jackson county, which he cov.
ered in two days In a whirlwind cam
paign. Jackson county folks are loyal
to Senator Chamberlain. There Is no
doubt about it. It may be the birth
place of hla opponent on the Progress
ive ticket, but the mv women aad
children knew Senator Chamberlain
as a friend -and a true triend and wel

Smith in an address here at 2:30 yes
terday afternoon.
He was urging a rural credit system
for farmers that would give them
lower Interest rates and long-time
loans. "The farmer's security Is the
best," he continued. "His land which
clothes and feeds the world is the
most precious material thing on the

rows money at 4 per cent, and on 20
years' time, and some of the great
magnates, not Mr. Hill, forget to pay

Eulogises Peace Policy.
At Independence he eulogized the
peace policy and great constructive
work of President Wilson.- "We are
not torn with strife, so we have the
opportunity to advance along the lines
Of peace and progress," he said. "That
we are not engaged lit deadly warfare
as they are In Europe, where the land
is drenched in the blood of the men
and tears of the women, Is due to the
wisdom and courage of Woodrow Wil
son, who stood out against the shaft
6f criticism and the jibes Of news
papers because he would not send an
invading army into Mexico.
"There are, in our country, no homes
bereaved by war, ao weeping mothers,
no dead boys in blue, no vast expendi

struction of men on the battle line.
"And we have a new currency law.
No longer can Wall street manufac

"In Oregon we cannot afford to go
backward. There is a new movement
to revive the assembly in this state.
We cannot afford to permit the "pro

Good Audience at Monmouth.
Dr. Smith spoke to a good audience

Little Belgian Army Holds

With Remarkable Courage.
By William Philip Sims.
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Hazebrouck, France, via Havre, Oct
23. "My life is no more valuable to
the country than yours and my place
is on the fighting line," was King Al
bert of Belgium's reply today to his
personal staff's importunities to him to
leave the front
Thursday I saw his majesty in action
at (deleted by the censor), fighting
with the remnant of his army for hia
native land. The Belgians are unter
rified and unconquered. The king wore
a general's field uniform. He is con
stantly encouraging his men every
where. The Belgian general staff admitted
today that the German' attack in north
western Belgium was the fiercest of
the war. The Germans, it was said,
plainly intended to sweep through the
country Into France and sieze Dun
kirk but King Albert's army prevented
it.
Monitors Come to Help.
The Belgians made their final stand
at Nieuport, where they literally
fought with their backs to the -wall.
They were outnumbered Jid their ar
tillery was Inferior to the kaiser's but
they repulsed assault after assault,
until the arrival of the British moni
tors, ..which, supporting them from
the North sea and the Belgian canals,
enabled them to win the day.
British naval officers who saw the
fighting declared it seemed almost un
believable for the Belgian forces to
have held their positions against such
ferocious attacks. '
German, prisoners said today' that
the kaiser's general . staff intended
originally to take Dunkirk October 16,
and that only the fragment of King
Albert's army, which still remained In
the field, saved the city from capture.
The allies admit that the Belgians
saved the situation. Experts said it
was now considered that the previous
ly threatened city was safe.

OBJECTIVE FOR

y
German Central Armies Claim
They Will Have Reduced
Great Frontier Fortress
Within Two Weeks.
By Karl H. von Wiegand.
Montmedy, France, Oct 21. Via
Metz, Berlin, The Hague and London
(Passed on and edited by both German
and British censors) The German cen
tral armies are endeavoring deter
minedly to reduce Verdun.
Heavy batteries have been mounted,
and with them some of the outer forti
fications have already been destroyed.
The officer commanding. General von
(name deleted by censor), told me to
day that he was confident the strong
French fortress would be overwhelmed
and taken within fortnight at the
outside.
He praised French bravery unstint
edly,, saying the Gallic artillery was
excellent, but that its work was partly
nullified by inferior ammunition, in
this connection he called attention to
the many French shells which had
failed to explode because of imperfect
manufacture.
Montmedy is the biggest t hospital
center and clearing house ' for the
wounded behind the first line of the
German center. Here wounded Ger
mans and French are brought and here
the serious cases are treated, while
those who are not so badly hurt are
sent into the interior to be cared for.
French Ida Zs Unbroken.
After a personal tour of the Ger
mans' extreme left, I am able to state
that while the French line is bent in
places, nowhere has it been broken, and
wherever the French have retired they
have immediately dug themselves into
new positions as strong as the ones
they vacated. . t
There has been the heaviest fighting
all along the line of forts between Toul
and Verdun, and Saint Mihiel and Camp
des Romains have both been taken by
the Germans, who finally crossed the
Meuse In two places in the vicinity of
Saint Mihiel.
The struggle here has been practi
cally continuous and extremely des
perate, the French making the most
determined efforts to retake their lost
positions and drive the Germans back
across the Meuse, but thus far with
out success.
Both sides have lost enormously.
The wooded ridges are covered with
wounded, who cannot be cared for be
cause of the impossibility of gathering
them up. The whole territory is be
ing riddled with both armies' artillery.

War Stricken People Here;
Contributions Pour In,
This was getaway day for the
Christmas ship. For days gifts ha
been accumulating at The Journal
fice, the contributions of hundreds of
children and grownups in Portland and
the northwest to the stricken widows
and children of the war zone.
To facilitate the final packing of
the hundreds and hundreds of artiv!e.
the entire battery of Journal motor
trucks was pressed into service this
morning to transport the packages
from The Journal building to Lipman,
Wolfe & Co.'s store, where the final
assembling will occur and the entire
shipment made ready for delivery to
the O.-W. R. & N. for transportation
to New York. j
Even the movie roan was on hand
to register the unusual scene in film !
form for display in all parts of the j
country as evidence of the generous
manner in which the people of the Pa- 1
clfio northwest have responded to The !
journal's appeal for aid on behalf of
the Europeans bereft by war. '
Final arrangements were concluded
today with the O.-W. R. N. for the
transportation of The Journal's share
of the cargo, A 60 foot steel baggage
car has been selected for this service
by them which with the following rail
roads win haul the car on through
passenger trains to New York: The Or
egon Short Line, the Union Pacific, thc
Chicago & Northwestern and the Erie.
The car will be labeled with ban
ners announcing the fact that it con

ous people of the Pacific Northwest
for this worthy cause. Its .time of
passing through tlie many cities anil
towns en route will be wired by the O -,W.
R. & N. to all gents along the
lines involved.
The .great influx of contributions
today gives rise to the anticipation
that there are many contributions
which will not reach Che Journal

today to handle berated gifts, the de

to break through the allies' line in the vicinity oiR Arras as well
as in the exrreme north. f
The outcome of the fighting in the Arras region was as yet
uncertain. ? .
Owing to the flatness of the country and the lack of cover,
the losses on both sides were enormous. ,j
The Germans were taking advantage of tf 5c network of
trolley lines throughout Belgium and northern France to rush
reinforcements and ammunition supplies to critical points?
Reports from Ostend were conflicting. One account was that
Anglo-French naval forces were bombarding the city. On othec
