Over Germans In North
Million in Battle.
London. A Boulogne dlHpatch to
the Evening News says a telegram
has been received from General Pan
announcing a victory by the allied
forces at Precy Sur Olse.
The Imperial Guard, under Crown
Prince Frederick William, Is reported
to have been annihilated by the Brit
Is l force which opposed them.
The Evening News dispatch says:
"A telegram has been received from
General Pau announcing a victory by
the allied forces under Field Marshal
Sir John French, commanding the
British, and General d'Amade at
Precy Sur Olse, about 25 miles north
of Purls.
"The allies were drawn across the
northern line wlth-the center at Precy.
The EngllBh troops were on the left
and the French on the right. The
former had in front of them the Im
perial Guard under Crown Prince
Frederick William.
"On both wings, It is reported, the
allies were successful. The German
left was held by the French and re
tired to the north. -"The
Imperial Guard, who were or
dered to surrender, were annihilated
by the British. It Is reported that
the Crown Prince was in their midst."
The British official bureau has re'
celved no confirmation of this meS'
sage.
An earlier official statement given
out in Paris said that a general action
had started on the line from Nanteull
le-Hardouin to Verdun, a distance of
120 miles. It was then said that,
thanks to the vigorous action of the
French troops, supported by the Brit
ish, the Germans had "started retir
ing." 1 Unofficial advices from Berlin also
have indicated that a battle of tre
mendous importance was being fought
In the territory described.
The official bureau Bays:
"General Joffre's plans are being
steadily carried out. The allied forces,
acting on the offensive, have been
successful in checking and forcing
back in a northeast direction the Ger
man forces opposed to them."
ALL ABLE-BODIED BRITONS
ARE SUMMONED TO COLORS
London In the historic Guild hall
of London, Premier Asquith Saturday
started the crusade to stimulate enlist
ment under the British flag, which he
intends to push through the country.
He is calling on every able-bodied
Briton of military age to come to the
help of his country in the hour of need.
The premier opened his Guild hall
address with the announcement that up
to the present between 275,000 and
300,000 recruits had responded to the
call of Lord Kitchener, the secretary
of war.
The premier said the empire had en
tered into this contest of might ver

Sorority Girls Are Free.
Stanford University, Cal. After
detention by German officials at Heid
elberg, three Standford sorority girls,
Miss Carolina Squires, Miss Ruth
Squires and Miss Katherine Sheldon,
of Palo Alto, have cabled their rela
tives that they have secured passage
to America. The young women were
allowed to proceed from Heidelberg to
I Rotterdam and thence to London. Ac
cording to the cable message the ves-
sel on which the party crossed the
English Channel narrowly missed hit
ting a floating mine.
Pope Names Secretary.
Rome It is officially announced that
Pope Benedict XV has appointed Car
dinal Dominico Ferrata to be papal sec
retary of state. Cardinal Ferrata was
born in 1847 in Montefiascone, Italy.
His work as papal nuncio at Paris and
as prefect of the congregation of bish
ops in Rome stamped him as a finish
ed diplomat. He presided over the
Eucharist congress held last year at
t ' Malta. In 1901, when the late Car
dinal Rampollo resigned as papal secre
tary of state, Cardinal r errata was
mentioned as a probable candidate for
the office.
Austrian Steamer Sunk.
London The sinking of the Aus-
trian Bt earner Bathori by a British
" cruiser in the Bay of Biscay was re
ported Saturday. The Austrian
steamer refused to heave to until
the cruiser put a shot across her bow,
The warship then took off the crew of
26 and sent the steamer to the bottom,
The prisoners taken included a Ger
man imperial staff officer.
The Bathori was a steamer of 1385
tons. She plied between Fiume and
French ports and was last reported in
Havre roads August 5.

after the opening of the recruiting
office for Ulster volunteers. 700 men
of the North Belfast regiment had en
rolled for foreign service. Sir Edward
Carson, leader of the Ulster Unionists.

assuring the men that "sufficient vol
unteers will remain in Ulster to pro
tect it from inviuinn. It will keen
a province for you until you return."
NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.
Portland.
Portland All cereals are advancing
in price, with wheat leading the pro
cession. At the Merchants' Exchange
sessions bids of $1.12, an advance of 2
cents, were made for bluestem, with
sellers asking 1.13 and $1.14. Club
was bid up to 03 cents, red Russian
was half a cent higher at 93 cents and
red fife a cent higher at 934 cents.
Buyers and sellers could not get to
gether, and no business was transacted
at the session.
The interior wheat markets were
very strong, with country millers com
peting sharply against Coast buyers
and farmers, as a rule, holding for
still higher prices. For two days
farmers in the Big Bend section have
been receiving $1 net for their blue
stem, while at Walla Walla a sale was
made at $1.07. Club wheat sold on
the Sound at 954 cents.
California is in toe market for wheat
of all kinds and full prices are being
offered. During the past month ship
ments south have been large, amount
ing to 471,305 bushels from Portland.
Flour shipments from here to Califor
nia in August were 40,171 barrels, and
the Sound sent 76,955 barrels down.
Barley prices were quoted unchanged
on call at $24.50 for feed and $25 for
brewing. The San Francisco barley
market advanced sharply, December
closing at $1.25, against $1.22 on
Saturday, and the May option at
$1.32, as compared with $1.28 Satur
day.

Seattle.
Seattle Predicting that Elberta
peaches will sell down to 25c per box
next week, the street is preparing to
meet the heaviest volume of this fruit
since the opening of the season. Not
withstanding that the stock has been
pouring in all week, jobbers have bat
tled to get the best price possible for
the grower, but to little purpose. Do
mestic canning operations, which sank
to a minimum since sugar began to
mount upward, has paralzyed profits to
the producer. With the main avenues
of consumption closed, the surplus has
been thrown back into the local trade,
and demoralization was inevitable,

cut down their trees.

TAUAN FLEET
TO AID ALLIES
reat Britain Supplies Coal for
Operations of Warships.
trench Fleet In Mediterranean
to
Be Shifted to North Sea
to Aid British Navy.
Washington, D. C. That an agree
ment exists between the Triple En
tente, made up of Great Britain,
France and Russia, and Italy, is estab
lished to the satisfaction of diplomats
here by Information they have re
ceived. Great Britain has given Italy 40,000
tons of coal for the use of the Italian
fleet. Additional Bupplies are to be
provided as needed. The result will
be that Italy will be able, when the
moment for her action comes, to use
her fleet against the Austrian and
Turkish navies. The French fleet in
the Mediterranean thus will be re
lieved of the necessity of bottling up
the Austrian men of war and can be
shifted to the North Sea.
The union of the British and French
navies will mean that tremendous
force will be stationed off the German
coast and enable offensive operations
against the harbors within which the
German navy is lying ready for action,
The exact moment when Italy is to
throw in her fortunes with the Entente
King Victor Emmanuel, of Italy,
whose fleet may join the Triple En
tente.
is not known, but it is predicted that
it will be soon. There is not the
slightest doubt either in official or
diplomatic circles that Italy will join
in the conflict. Similarly there IB no
question that Turkey and Bulgaria
will operate with Germany and Aus
tria. Turkey's entrance into the strug
gle will be the signal for action by
Greece. Self-defense will compel Rou
mania to participate, and her alliance
with Russia and Italy is undoubted.
FRENCH MOVE CAPITAL
TO CITY OF BORDEAUX
Paris A proclamation has been is
sued by the government announcing
that the government departments will
be transferred temporarily to Bor
deaux.
The proclamation was issued by the
minister of the interior, who said the
decision had been taken solely upon
the orders of the military, because the
fortified places of Paris, while not
necessarily likely to be attacked,
would become the pivot of the field
operations of the two arimes.
The building of supplementary de
fensive works is proceeding vigorous
ly. Several of the gates of Paris
were closed to traffic.
Russians Admit Defeat
at Hands of Germans
London Advices have been received
here from Petrograd (St. Petersburg)
that the Russian general staff frankly
confesses to disaster to two army
corps, including the loss of three gen
erals. Telegraphing from Petrograd the
correspondent of the Times declares
that the war reports given out by the
headquarters staff in the Russian capi
tal are generally rather meager, but
are generally true.
That the headquarters will stick to
this plan also when the news is bad is
proved by the announcement made
here.
The wording of the announcement
indicates that other Vistula fortresses,
besides Graudenz and Thorn have re
ceived reinforcements. The news ar
rived Thursday night and the people of
Petrograd received it with firmness.
Their faith in a final Russian victory
remains wholly unshaken.
Liner Reported Captured.
New York Reports were current
here that British cruisers had succeed
ed in capturing the Kron Prinz Wil
helm, the German liner which had been
roaming the seas since her sudden de
parture from this port a day or so be
fore war was declared between Ger
many and England. Sir Courtenay
Bennett, the British consul here, had
heard the rumor and made inquires
during the day, but said that he had
been unable to confirm it from any re
liable source. The Kron Prinz Wil-
helm was a North German Lloyd liner,
New Officials Keeping
Order in War-Torn Mexico
Washington, D. C Confident that
a general election in Mexico will be
held soon, the President and Secretary
Bryan have expressed to President
Carranza their satisfaction with the
rapid progress being made in restoring
tranquility in the Southern republic.
Although they realize reconstruction
days will be fraught with many deli
cate situations, administration officials
are convinced that the present govern
ment is rapidly acquiring stability and
believe no counter revolution of im
portance 1b to be expected.
Official dispatches bear out this
view. Order is being kept and busi
ness Ib being generally resumed. One
message commented on the arrival in
Mexico City from the United States of
a through Pullman sleeper, the first in
nearly two years, revolutionary opera
tions having paralyzed railroad traffic
ever since Madero was overthrown.
Paul Fuller, a personal representa
tive of the President, will confer with
General Carranza on the future rela
tions between the United States and
the Carranza government. Recognition
is not now expected to be given until
a definite program is agreed upon by
all factions for the election.
No differences, it was learned, have
arisen between Carranza and the
American government concerning the
closing of the port of Vera Cruz. The
act is construed as friendly and as re
sulting from a desire to increase cus-
tomsjrevenues at other Mexican ports.
BATTLE OF AEROPLANES
IS FOUGHT OVER PARIS
Paris A fight Tin the air over Paris
took place Friday. Three German air
men hovered over the capital and im
mediately two French machines were
sent up to engage them.
Meanwhile rifles and machine guns
mounted on public buildings kept up a
constant fire. By this means one of
the German machines became sepa
rated from the others and the French
aviators flew swiftly in itB direction.
The Germans opened fire, to which the
Frenchmen replied vigorously.
The battle seemed to turn to the
disadvantage of the German, who
mounted speedily to a higher level,
and, holding this position, was saved
from further attack. He finally dis
appeared in a northwest direction over
Fort Romainville, after a vain pursuit,
The other German aeroplanes also
escaped the fire of the guns and after
circling about for a considerable time,
disappeared from view.
Japan Charged With Vio
lating Chinese Neutrality
Pekin The German legation has
protested to the foreign office against
an infringement of China's neutrality
by Japan. The protest followed the
landing of a Japanese division at the
newly opened Chinese port of Lung
Kow, 100 miles north of TsingTau.
News of the Japanese landing caused
no surprise here, as the Japanese lega
tion several days ago requested the
foreign office to remove the limit of
the 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) ra
dius prescribed by the Chinese as the
fighting area around Tsing Tau.
The foreign office did not fomply
with the request, but it was under
stood that the Chinese troops would be
instructed not to oppose the Japanese,
The Chinese officials are described as
incensed, but afraid of doing anything
that might afford the Japanese a cause
for territorial or other exactions.
Whether British forces will cross
Shan Tung with the Japanese is not
divulged, but the point is much dis
cussed here.
Capital Edict Honored.
Petrograd (St. Petersburg) The
name St. Petersburg does not appear
in any Russian newspaper now. Thus
has been observed the imperial edict
changing the name of the Russian
capital from St. Petersburg to Petro
grad, on account of the German form
of the name under which the city has
been known since its foundation. Other
cities in Russia with German names,
such as Schlussburg, have asked that
their appellations be Russianized
Mourning dresses are increasing
number on the streets of the Russian
capital.
American-French to Aid.
Washington.'D. C A French relief
fund is being formed to assist sick and
wounded refugees, not only French, but
also Belgian, English and other nation
alities now swarming into Paris and
other cities. Reports reaching here
from Paris and other places in France
tell of the misery, particularly among
the poorer classes, following in the
train of the war. An announcement
will be made later of the details of the
organization of the French fund, which
will be centralized and administered
by the French embassy.
Owners of Autos File Claims,
Washington, D. C. Americans
whose automobiles were commandeered
by military authorities in some of the
European countries have begun filing
their claims with the State depart
ment. Most of the tourists obtained
receipts for their cars with the prom
ise that they would be reimbursed. In
most cases settlements are not ex
pected before the end of the war.
Spanish War Veterans Elect.
Louisville Major C. F. Cramer, of
Columbus, Ohio, was elected com
mander-in-chief, and Scranton, Pa.
was chosen for the 1915 convention, by
the United Spanish War Veterans in
11th annual convention here. Omaha
and San Francisco had wanted next
year's convention.
CURE HAMS AT HOME
MORS
ECONOMICAL, AND
MEAT 18 BETTER.
THE
Expert Tells of the Methods of Prepa
ration for Bast Results "Sugar
Curs" More Expensive, But
Better Than 8alt Process.
(By MRS. W. C. HUTCHINSON.)
There Is no other product of the
farm to which the owner points with
greater pride than to his abundance
of well cured hams, one of the dally
essentials for the tablo, and It the
ham la well cured and well cooked,
we certainly have one of the most
appetizing dishes which can be set
before us.
This edible need not be limited to
the farmer alone; those of the city
may enjoy, equally with him, by pur
chasing the slaughtered hogs, or bams
of the butchers, then, uslug a good
method of sugar curing.
It Is economy to those In the city,
and a profit to the farmer should he
place his home-cured hams on the
market; there is always a ready sale,
and they bring a much better price
than the packer's meat or the ordi
nary salt ham.
Should we decide to market our own
'home-made," "sugar-cured" hams,
there would be a very great demand
for them. Each year we are compelled
to refuse a number of would-be pup
chasers.
To all Interested in the sugar-cured
method of preparing It, we give the
following recipe:
For 1,000 pounds of meat, take
40 pounds of common salt, ten pounds
of Orleans, sugar, four pounds black
pepper, three .pounds Baltpeter, half
pound cayenne pepper. Mix thorough
ly, then rub one-half of the mixture
on the meat, let It lie two weeks, and
then rub on the remainder, after which
let It He four weeks, then hang and
smoke.
As Boon as the animal heat Is out of
the meat, apply first half, carefully
covering skin and fieBh side alike, and
well over hock bone.
The extra expense over salted meat
is small and I think about equal to oth
er methods of curing ; the amount of la
bor required for first application is
very little more than ordinary salting,
and for second, requires one man
about one hour. If you wish to cure
smaller quantities, time and labor will
be In proportion.
Do not think the quantity of the
preparation too small when mixed, for
although It may look so, yet It Is an
abundance.
As this Is put on the meat, each
ham Is placed separately upon a plat
form, there to await the second appli
cation, when It is again placed for the
four weeks, after which we hang and
smoke for four days from wood fire,
not being partial to hickory wood,
By this time the meat la firm and
dry, .and it Is wrapped in newspapers,
then placed in sacks made of denim,
or other strong material and hung In
a cool dark place.
We have used this recipe for 15
years, have never bad a ham spoil
and have never tasted better hams.

SAVING TIME AND STRENGTH
Proper Planning of Household Dutlee
Will Do Away With Muoh Unnec
essary Wear and Tear,
The housewife should carefully
study the conservation of her strength
and energy during the hot weather.
All the short cuts to housekeeping. a
well as the many little devices for
saving time and labor, should be ?re
fully considered. That is one of Oil
best features of the modern house
keeping. It teaches the conservation
of energy, of training the bead to save
the heels; the adding of the element
of Inventiveness and scientific thought
to the problem of the home that will
save the wife and mother from un
necessary wear and tear.
Careful menu planning Is one of the
means by which she may reduce her
labor by omitting many dleheB labor
iously made thut are often served
from force of habit. The mother and
grandmother probably handed them
down as prized possessions, and II
seems almost a sacrilege to omit their
preparation, even though It mean
hours over a hot stove.
By substituting others of equal food
value, but which require less time and
labor In preparing, much time and
strength may be saved. A more care
ful Btudy of food values will soon en
able even the busiest housewife to
do this.
The same reduction of Inbor may be
made In regard to clothing. There
are bo many fabrics on the market
that are equal In appearance If not
superior to garments made from those
that often require hours and hours of
the most arduous toil over the wash
tub or ironing board to make ready
for a few hours' wear.
When the housewife studies the el-
ments of the science of utility and
proportion that underlie even the com
monest household task she will then
be guided more than ever by common,
sense, which avoids unnecessary
work, worry or any of the things that
rob a woman of her birthright of
pleasure and happiness and make her
look old before her time.
