Germany's forces in France were taking the offensive everywhere today, ac cording to dispatches received here this afternoon from field headquarters. A message from Bucharest said that the Crown council there decided Saturday in favor of continued Rumanian neutrality. There had been reports that the uumanians were on the point of joining the Anglo Franco-Russian allies. From Christiania came the news that Frithjof Kansen, the!

IS HERO OF 1 WRECK Jumped Into Sea and Carried Life Line to Exhausted Vic tim of the Accident Astoria, Ore, Sept. 21. "It was one of the bravest rescues in the aunalg of lifftsaving. " In these words Captain B. II. Mac Donald, of the tank steamer Prank II. Buck, today describes the rescuing of Frank Poelman, one of the two surviv ors of the Francis H. Leggott wreck Friday afternoon by Quartermaster Lars Kskildon, who, with the sea toe turbulent to launch a lifeboat, leaped over the rail and after swimming quite a distance, attached a lifeline to the exhausted man by which both were hauled to safety. The Buck arrived in Astoria Sunday noon with Poelman on board, terribly fatigued but recovering rapidly. Captain MacDonald said it was four o'clock Friday afternoon when ha in tercepted a wireless from the JapBiie.-o cruiser Idzuma, stating that the L'g get had gone down. The Buck immediately started for the scene at full speed, arriving abo'.t eleven o'clock Friday night. About midnight a cry of "help" was heard. "Shortly afterward a man was seen with a lifebelt on clinging to a piece of wreckage, but on account of the seas we did not deem it advisable to launch a lifeboat and maneuvered the Buck down alongside him." said Cap tain MacDonald. "Then Quartermaster Eskildon bravely jumped overboard with a lifeline, swam to the exhausted survivor and tied it to him. Both were then hauled to safety. "The lifeboats we're then launched and after a hunt of two hours the sec ond survivor. Alexander Farrell, was found and placed on board the steams Beaver. ' ' roeiman's story or tne disaster was substantially the same as that told by rarrell, who arrived in Astoria Satur day afternoon on the Beaver. FAIL FOR $1,250,000 Had Loaned Too Much Money to Themselves Tenino Bank, Also Fails Centralia. Wash., Se.pt, 21. Th United States National Bank with de posits of over $1,000,000 and the Union Loan & Thust Company, with deposits of over $250,000, failed to open their doors today following an inspection of the institutions' books by Bank Ex aminer Lloyd L. Mulit. The heaviest depositor in the banks was the city of Centralia, which had $90,000 on deposit. The closing of the institutions leaves the municipality with but. $10,000 cash on hand from it's spring tax receipts. The greatest factor in the closing of the. doors of the two banks, according to George Dysart. one of the stockhold trs, was over-confidence on the part of the bank officials in the handling of commercial paper, on which it was found impossible to realize w'hen a financial stress came. It is said that the trouble is directly due to financing mill and logging properties in which the bank people were interested. United States Attorney Clay Allen and Marshal J. M. Boyles are' in the city in connection with the closing of the banks, but their mission has not been announced. The closing caused no little excite meut but the directors of both institu tions assert they will turn over all of their private property and that deposi tors will be paid in full. The other two Centralia banks were prepared to withstand runs but none developed. The State Bank at Tenino, owned by i the same interests as the two institu- I tiong which closed here, also failed to open its doors this morning. The failure of the Tenino bank which is under the jurisdiction of the state bank examiner and not the fed eral authorities, wag largely due, bank otficials stated, to the fact that the bank had invested heavily in commer- eial paper similar to that held by the two local concerns. pany were settled.

The battle of the Aisue entered on its second week today. Both sides claimed small advantages but the truth seemed to be that: Thus far the fight was a draw. The allies were making frantic ef forts to crumplo the extreme German right under General Von Kluk. The Germans, led by General Von Buelow, were expending their last ounce of strength in an attempt to break the allies' center near Craonne. At these points there were cavalry and infantry charges and hand to hand encounters. Elsewhere the conflict was mainly au artillery duel- and a terrible one. Losses Staggering. The London war office admitted that losses were "staggering." Rains continued and the men fought and died in water-filled trenches. The Germans, successful in East Prus sia, were pushing their invasion ot Russian Poland, occupying town after town. In Galicia 2,000,000 Russians and Austrians fought. The Russians claimed uniform suc cesses in this quarter. After setting their stronghold of .Taroslnv- on fire and abandoning it, the Austrians were drawn up along a line from Cracow to Przemvsl. They asserted the retirement was onlv to sain stronger positions Here as in the west, the battle raged in cutting, trenching sleet and rain As Bad in the West. Losses, also as in the west, were ad mittedly frightful. The Servians announced they had repulsed fresh attempts at an Austrian invasion. Montenegrins occupied Rogbitza, onlv ten miles from Serajcvo, capital of the Austrian province of Bosnia Popular sentiment was so strongly anti-German and anti-Austrian in Rome that the German and Austrian em bassies there were heavily guarded. . People for Russia. , Romo information was to the effect that Rumania was about to join the Anglo-i ranco-Kussian combination. uermany, on the other hand, pro fessed to have been assured that the Rumanians would remain neutral. The fact was that the Rumanian nil ing house was pro-German; the people pro-Kussian A rumor was current that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria died a week ago but that the news had been sup- prcssed lest it precipitate a revolution, but this report wholly lacked confirma tion. Germany was succeeding in raising war loan of $1,065,000,000. BASEBALL TODAY National. R. II. E Chicago 01310010 0 i 1 New York ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 4 Vaughn and Archer; Marquard.

Bedding, Ca), Sept. 2.. -Mount Las sen was in eruption today for the forty-eighth time since its crater burn into activity last spring. " The outbreak was an unusually sharp one, residents of Maeomber Fists, nine miles from the peak, declaring their houses were shaken by the shock. The crater was in eruption twice Sunday. DRAW P Points Out Unjustness and Untruthfulness of Oregon ian Editorial That the elimination of the contract labor system at the Oregon state peni- lemiury nas not promoted idleness but on the other haiid has allowed the pris oners to be used to the advantage of nm niaiu, is me text ot a statement given out by Governor West tins morn ing in reply to editorials which recently appeared in the Oregonian. The govcr. nor pointed out that from the brick yard fund after purchasim; a lartre tract of valuable land and making improve ments, nini iouu wouM be turned back to the state treasury, Also that labor had been furnished to public institu tions which if figured at onlv 41.RD nor day would have netted over 78,000, or nearly double what would have, been received from tho old stovo foundrv contract. The Governor's Statement. The Oregonian in an editorial vester. day stated: "Governor West cancelled the stove foundry contract and thereby personal ly promoted idleness among the inmates and a falling off in earnings." it is true that I camelled tho stove factory contract, and I am proud of it, and I am glad to get tho Oregonian on record in the matter, as it is sure tn claim later on that the credit is due to it cr one of its minions. The other statement as to the idleness of the inmates and prison earniiitrs is absolutely untrue. The Oregonian has taken a cut frntn State Treasurer Kay anil is inaugurat ing a campaign to bring about a return to tne old prison contract system. As such a movement is most damnable it is my intention to apeak nt the armofv next Sunday afternoon, if it can bo so arranged, to the laboring men and wo men of the city of Portland and Mult noinah county. My purpose will bj to show that there has bcou practically no idleness at the prison and that the earn ings havo been grerjer than under the old system, why.' convict laoor and prison-mado goods should not be brought in competition with free labor and its products aud why said prison labor should be confined to services for the state. The Oregouinn states that there were 1,200,000 brick on hand at the prison brickyard when I took office. This is a fact, and it is so shown in the prison report for the 1911-12 biennial period. No statement has ever been made by me to tho contrary, notwithstanding the I,.., ,.,..:.. i " The Oregonian, when it is not follow ing its policy of deliberately lying, us ually suppresses facts which would show the truth. It failed to disclose the fact that the said brick were offset by sales aim girts as roilows: Sold O. A. C.... 774,100 at $5 Sold in. asylm. 133,090 at !. Free to pen 1 11,270 .$3,770.50 .

The Oregonian suppressed the fact that the institutions have been run without deficiencies as in the past and it suppressed the fact that nearly $2S, 000 of our appropriations will be turned back into the general fund unused. The Oregonian also suppressed the fact that the penitentiary will carry over January 1st, in the revolving fund, about $14,000 in casii and stock. It also suppressed the fact that la bor had been furnished public institu tions which if figured at only $1.50 per day would amount to over $78,000, or nearly double what the old stove foun dry contract would produce. ' It will be my purpose to discuss not only these things at the armory meet ing, but the general questions of the day, such as law enforcement and good government, the employed question, the charge the Oregonian some years ago took blood money from several state printers and in return covering up the state printing graft. On account of the rain Saturday, the tennis tournament of boys under 10 years that was to have taken place on that day was postponed. No date has been set for it, but it will probably be played off in the near future.

Tho Austrian evacuation of .laroslav indicates that tho fear of lining sur rounded in a fortress, which has been so apparent in tho western campaign is also influencing the Austrians. By securing this position the Rus sians have pained access to the railroad leading to this Cracow. The victory is importnnt for this reason alone and its' e.ttcct can be minimized if the Austrians destroy the railroad as they retreat to ward Cracow.

CHERRIANS INVITE hVLKiDWi 10 W Cherrinns are working hard to maki io the proposed excursion to Eugene t to m the Austrians but -t Thursday to the Lane county fair ,r , ' . nex a decided success. It was announced this morning that tickets aro placed on snl" at the Commercial book storo and at Waters cigar store. The rate offer- when the Chcrrinns will give drills and sing songs and let the Albany people know that Hulem is on the map. The Cherriuns urge that every Salemite who can possibly go on this excursion get a ticket and hike right along with them, for the number that goes will have a bearing on the number of Eu gene Radiators that will come here to visit the state fair next week. It was known the Radiators were planning to go to the Pen!eton Round Up, but on account of tho visit of the Cherrians this week it is said this trip has been called off and that the Radi ators will stay at home to welcome the Salem people. It is expected a large delegation of citizens will accompany the Cherrians, who will go in uniform in a special train over the Oregon Elec tric. At the recent meeting of the Cher rians it was found they ha,? gone $500 in the hole for tbe Cherry fair, and that an assessment on them was due. Accordingly each Cherrian dug down into his pocket and lifted therefrom $5 to pay for the deficit of the biggest and best Cherry fair Salem ever held. The Cherrians are of the opinion that Salem citizens ought to show sufficient public spirit to get in and make tne ex- ress. cursion to Eugene a rousing success,! "The Austrians retreated slightly to especially when the Cherrians are doing j , so much for the city. j (Contiuuod on page 2.)

In a night attack on Dubicek, on the River San, it was said the Austrians were, overwhelmed and thousands of prison ers and many guns were captured. An official denial was issued, to tn German charge that General Martos, a Russian officer captured in east Prus sia, had instructions to burn east Prus sian villages and kill their male inhab itants. It was denied elso that he or dered such burnings or killings with-. out instructions. Reprisals were threatened in case the) German court-martial which was said would try him, should sentence hiin to) death. The greatest indignation was express ed at the news that Martos had been taken to Berlin in chains, handcuffed to a private soldier and that he had been exhibited to the crowds at rail road stations on the road.
