Gay City is Quiet as Preparations Are
. Being Made for Expected Siege.
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.

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.

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

to keep it for some months yet.

British troops were reported cut oft I
irom tneir base by a flanking move
ment on the part of the Germans
who interposed a column between
them and the coast. 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

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

MAYOR MATLOCK OF
PE10LET
Mayor W. 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.
