Austrians Retreating From
Week's Conflict at San
River but Przemysl Is Still
Stubbornly Holding Out
Against Besiegers.
O'nlted Tress tinned Wire.)
Petrograd, Oct. 20. Russia's
whole army was advancing to
day, along a front of tremen
dous length, against the Ger
mans and Austrians.
In the extreme north, tUe
Germans, badly demoralized by
previous meetings with the
czar's' troops, "were trying to
keep the avalanche back with
their artillery while they reor
ganized and reformed.
The fighting in this quarter
was on the kaiser's side ol the
ICast Prussian frontier and de
spite their efforts his soldiers
were being driven back.
Similarly,, at the center the
Slav forces were pushing the
enemy before them as rapidly
as the heavv condition of the
roads, now show covered., would
- permit. '
After a week's conflict along
the River San, the Austrians
were also in retreat. Przemysl's
stubborn resistance alone de
layed the advance of the czar's
entire left. Determined to re
move tins annoyance, the Kus
sians were assaulting the fort
ress with great violence, and
confidence was expressed by the
war office that it would fall into
their . hands soon.
GERMANS ADMIT RE
TREAT Berlin via The Hague, Oct.
29. That the Germans in Rus
sian Poland had been forced to
retreat was admitted by the war
office here today.
It. was explained that the re
tirement was rendered necessary
by the foe's enormous numbers.
"We are resuming the offen
sive, however," the official
statement added, from which it
was generally inferred that the
kaiser s troops in the eastern
field had been strongly rein
forced. n

ARCHDUKES
ASSASSIN
GERMANS ARE GIRDING
FOR SUPREME ATTACK
ON ALLIES IN FRANCE
England Is Hurrying More
Warships to Help in Re
pulsing Onslaught,
London, Oct. 29. Convinced that
(lermany is preparing for a supreme
effort against the Krcncli and I'.ritish,
additional British wars-hips wore be
ing rushed today to northern French
ports to aid the allies in resisting any
attack the kaiser may launch against
them.
There were many Indications that
the lull in the fighting along the Nieu-P'rt-Dixmude
line was only the calm
before such a storm as has not burst
I e fore in the world's history of war
fare. That the Germans were massing
submarines and light torpedo boats n
the canal between Bruges and Zee-
btugge, Belgium, there was ample evi-
i dtnue.
They were also reported bringing
large numbers of Zeppelins into north
western Belgium.
Their naval bases at Wilhelmshaven
and Cuxhaven were absolutely isolated
from the rest Of Germany. No on-j
was allowed to enter or leave them
but army and navy officers.
Fresh troops were pouring in
swarms from Germany, through Bel
gium to the Yser.
All these precautions and prepara
tions were believed to foreshadow cer
tainly a tremendous combined air,
land, sea and submarine attack, the
outcome of which, it whs predicted,
would be well nigh decisive so far as
the German western offensive U ton-
cerncd.
GERMAN TRENCHES IN
ARGONNE ARE TAKEN
IN BRILLIANT ATTACK
Paris, Oct. 2D. Continued progress
by the allies was reported by the Bor
deaux war office this afternoon in its
regular daily communication to the
French public.
Advances were said to have been es
pecially marked between Ypres and
Arras, where a number of German
trenches were brilliantly captured,"
in the Argonne region and in the for
est of Apremont.
r;!. Elsewhere it was stated that the
line was unchanged.
'During Wednesday," said the state
ment, "we progressed at several points
along the battle line, particularly
around Ypres and south of Arras.
"There is nothing new to report
concerning the .situation between
Nieuport and LMxmude.
"Between the Aisne and the Ar-
gonnes we have captured some of the
enemy's trendies and none of the
Germans' .partial attacks has suc
ceeded. "We have also advanced in the for
est of Apremont."
Germain Second Jjine Intact.
Paris, Oct. 29, Prostrated with ex
haustion, the combatants in northern
France and .Belgium rest on their
arms today. There was some skirmish
ing and the artillery had not wholly
ceased its activity, but in the main
engagement there was a pause. The
troops, had been taxed beyond human
endurance and time for recuperation
had to be fciven them.
Nothing indicated, however, that the
Germans had abandoned their plan to
reach the northern French coast towns.
Their losses had far exceeded the
allies', but their second line was intact
and they plainly intended to use It as
relentlessly as they used the first. All
accounts were that they were bringing
up reinforcements as rapidly as pos
sible. Thousands of reserves were reported.-
crossing Belgium, westbound.
The rtlies, too, were strengthening
their lines in anticipation Of a renewed
attack.
Indications were that the next as
sault, like the one just over, would be
directed along the line between Nieu
port and Dixmude and between L,ille
and Arras. It was thought, however,
that the Germans would keep clear, as
far as possible, of the coast, the big
guns on the allies- warships offshore
having wrought fearful havoc with
their extreme right in the past few
days fighting.
It seemed evident that, the kaiser
proposed to continue active throughout
the winter. His men were being sup
plied with heavy sheepskin overcoats,
gloves and leggings.
No fresh news had been received
here today from Alsace Lorraine.

Harbor, Torpedoes Boats,
( United Press Leaned Wire.)
London, Oct. 29. The exploits of
the German cruiser Emden are getting
seriously on the nerves of the British
public.
News from Tokio that the vessel
had ventured into the British port of
Penang, in the Straits settlements, and
torpedoed Ltho Russian hruiser Jemt
chug and a French destroyer, which
both sank with considerable loss of
life, after which the Emden got safely
away was received with a chorus of
execration and furious demands that
the admiralty do something to termi
nate such Incidents.
However serviceable the British fleet
may have been in blockading German
ports there is no question that the
people generally do not think It has
given a sufficient account of itself in
action and criticism of the admiralty
is becoming increasingly bitter.
The Emden was said to have de
ceived the port authorities at Penang
by flying the Japanese flag and chang
ing its appearance by the addition of
a counterfeit runnel.

Mexico City, Oct. 29. Advices re

that a riot was nearly precipitated yes
terday in the peace convention there
by a number of acrimonious speeches-
Several of the delegates, it was re
ported, drew their revolvers and spec
tators made a wild dash to escape from
the building. All exits, however, were
barred by the police and no one was
permitted, to escape. Order eventually
was restored.
The near riot was precipitated when
General Soto y Gama, a Zapatista del
egate, referred to the Mexican flag as
an "old rag." Several blows were
struck before General Obregon suc
ceeded in restoring order. Later Gama
explained that he meant no insult to
the flag, mereiy Intending to say that
intriguing . politicians had made It an
old rag.
General Gonzales Garza, a Villista

(Salem Bureau of The Journal.)
Salem Or., Oct. 29. Senator. HarrJ
Lane last night told a large audience
In the "Armory here several reasons
why Oregon should reelect Senator
Chamberlain, and explained why it
would be Inadvisable to send to Wash
ington a man so closely allied with
interests hostile to the people of Ore
gon as Robert A. Booth. Senator Lane
also paid a warm tribute to Dr. C.
J. Smith, candidate for governor, who,
he stated, was admirably fitted for
the place.
Senator Lane was warmly greeted
by the people of Salem and during his
address there was frequent applause.
In opening his address he referred
to the struggle in Europe, and stated
that the United States was to be con
gratulated on having President Wil
son at the helm at this time, when
it was so Important to have someone
with courage and abttrty sufficient to
preserve strict neutrality. The presi
dent's course in the difficult Mexican
situation, in which both Germany and.
England were so vitally interested
was highly praised.
Friendship for Chamberlain.
In giving his reasons why Chamber
lain should be reelected by the people
of Oregon, Senator Lane touched first
on the reports that from time to time
were circulated by a Portland news
paper as to unfriendly relations be
tween himself and the senior senator.
He branded such reports as un
founded, and told how Chamberlain
had given him every assistance on
his arrival in Washington in meeting
the men he should know, and that
they had worked iKtrmoniously there.
Chamberlain, he asserted, had con
sistently voted for the best measures
in behalf of the people, was alert and
active in performing his duties, and,
when it was necessary, fought hard
to secure just recognition of Oregon,

II. Gary, of the United States Steel
corporation and president . of the

viewed the world's iron and steel
trade in an address at the Institute's
semi-annual meeting here today.
Referring to the European war, he
said:
"I venture the cprnln that a strug
gle for commercial supremacy under
lies the war s causes, or at least had
a derided iniiuence in precipnaiing 11,
and that the questions at issue relate
to dollars and cents."
Turning to business conditions, he
continued:
"I am an optimist in principle as
well as in practice. There Is always
a bright slue to .everyming, annougn
it may be temporarily obscured.
"However, there is nothing to be
gained by closing our eyes to well
known and clearly recognized facts
at present we are not very prosper

"But as to the long future, I don t
hesitate to say with emphasis that
the opportunities for progress and
success in this country are better

"if we can get out of the ruts of-
antagonism, inconsistency, distrust.
hypocrisy and individual indifference

which seem to have prevented natural.
legitimate progress in the past few

their personal ambitions and work to
