PARIS, Sept. 1 Four German armies are pounding the French left today. The Allies' line though intact, is nevertheless retiring. Having mounted their heavy artillery, the Germans are murderously shelling the French entrenchments from Sedan southward. The French continued on the offensive along the Lorraine frontier. Paris is quiet, and in anti cipation of a siege, the exodus of non combatants continued. Every out going train is literally packed. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 Sharp protests to President Wilson's plan of building up a merchant marine by purchasing German vessels reached the State Department. It is learned on high authority that the protests were lodged by England and France through their ambassadors. England protested saying that it was against American neutrality agreements and that such action merely aided the Kaiser by taking off his hands useless ships and giving him money in return. MILLION DOLLAR EIRE TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 1 Fire destroyed the Carstens Packing Com pany plant early this morning. The loss is enormous and is estimated at a million dollars. The fire is thought to have originated from either de fective wiring or spontaneous com bustion due to the large amount of grease and lard stored in the build ings. Although the buildings were in ruins in practically forty-five minu tes, hundreds of cattle, sheep and hogs were removed in safety. FOUR BUSINESS BLOCKS BURNED AT THE DALLES THE DALLEsTore., Aug 31 Fire destroyed four business blocks here yesterday. Origin of the fire is as yet unknown.

AT TACOMA THIS MORNING LATEST WAR NEWS PARIS. Aug. 31 The war Office announced that fighting is progres sing along our northern line. The Germans are planning using all their immense resources o break the Allies defense but the French position is reported stronger than ever. The French continue to advance along the Lorraine frontier. The French .nade a vigorous offensive movement in the south to compel the shifting of a part of Germany's forces in the north but were unsuccessful. It is believed that the Kaiser is staking everything on the quick infestment of Paris. The French military authori ties seem confident of their ability to prevent this, nevertheless, General Gallieni, Military Governor of the Paris District, has completed arrange ments for banishing everyone from the city in the event of a siege who are not entitled to remain. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 31 It was announced that the Russians de feated the Austrians near Amosce with enormous losses, the Cossacks pursued the enemy decimating them. Reinforcements are being rushed to prevent them from effecting a junc lion with the Austrian force at Lem berg. The Austrian flight was so hurried that they abondoned their artillery. CETTINJE, Aug. 29 Ten thousand Austrians attacked the Montenegrian position on Mount Lochven, Sunday, according to advices received here, ihey silenced two batteries when the French-British warships arrived and shelled the Austrian forces. The Montenegrans charged simultaneous ly and routed the enemy which re tr.ated toward Cattaro, abandoning their artillery. L FARMER DUE LA HOLDS 5000 BUSKELS 1913 WREAT The Herald editors have noted a broad and protruding smile on the face of Mr. Andrew Rood, Jr., the well known wheat rancher living in Cason Canyon. It seems as this is due to the fact that Andrew did not sell his wheat crop last year but has it in the locul warehouse, some 5000 bushels or more. This year he hns over 7000 bushels of good bluestem anil ha been offered more than a dollar a bushel. And he says that he is going to keep it for some months yet. Last summer Andy took a trip to Portland and just yesterday disclosed his reason for going.

This was report ed by the officials of the War Minis try. It is predicted that Paris will soon be threatened. Hard fighting is still in progress in the Vosges mountains with the issue still in doubt. The French are said to h aimmrlv entrenched and the German losses are admitted to be heavy. PARIS, Aug. 31 The French made two furious attacks upon the Ger mans today. One on the Lorraine frontier where the main lines of the Germans was assulted in force simul taneously. In the Vosges mountains on the Alsace frontier the struggle was renewed with renewed violence. The War Office denied that the Kaiser's troops succeeded in crossing the river Meuse within French terri tory, although they have done so ex tensively on the Belgium side of the frontier. PARIS, Aug. 31 "At our center after alternating checks and surprises, I a general engagement is in progress," announced the War Office. Last even ing on our left by a series of circum-' stances which turned in the Germans favor, the Allies were forced to give I way on the right. In Lorraine the i French are taking the offensive and driving the enemy back. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 31 The German cruiser Leipsic was captured by the French cruiser Montcalm here yesterday. This removes the last German warship in north Pacific waters. . - TO better hold his wheat. He is thinking of making another trip there in a few ; days. The important part of the whole ! affair is not that Andy will make a small fortune by holding his wheat; j but that it will help the Herald get I him a wife. There has been no defi nite choice made yet by Andy be-! cause he is two subscriptions short and these must be secured now. Some of the enterprising young ludies of the town should take pity on Andy at this time and send in the two sub scriptions and assist him in finding a helpmate to spend this money which he will soon huve.

The older people stood it as long as they could and one by one they appeared on the floor, just to show them that we can do it, W. B. .said.

F. Matlock, of Pendle ton, died yesterday after a prolonged illness. He was a brother of Tom Matlock of Heppner who had gone to Pendleton several days ago when he received word that his brother's con dition was dangerous. Mayor Mat lock had been in poor health due to a fever he contracted several vears nirn. Lately he suffered from gallstones and was operated on the latter part of last week and his death was due to the in ability of his system to recouperate from this operation. At the bedside were Tom, his brother from Heppner; Joseph, anoth er brother from Eugene with his son ;nd wife; a granddaughter, Luda Mat lock, from Portland and his daughter, Mrs. Fred Laatz. An incident which ni ght be mentioned is that J. D. Mat lock, of Eugene, has served that town an councilman and mayor as long as his brother has served Pendleton in a like manner. Mayor Matlock's death is a hjss to the entire community of Pendleton. He was a public spirited citizen and was always ready to serve his community in every way. Few men had as wide a circle of friends and as few political enemies. HOPPERS ARE STILL THICK ON BUTTER CREEK Arthur Wills, prominent Butter Creek rancher, was in town yester day, and reports things pretty dry in his vicinity.
