were stopped short by French fire. 'Iu
the region of Apremont, southeast of
Verdun, another Gorman attuck was
topped.
Heavy artillerying occurred last night
the sectors of Roye, Lassigny, Moul
in and Tu-svent.
French troops have thrown forward
their first lines to within a mile and a
half of the important town of Combles.
The town itself had been under terrific
bombardment for three days by French
artillery. French infantry is pressing
tnstward, just south of Combles, to
pocket the Germans in much the same
manner as the British are closing in up
on Thiepval.
The French attack on Mourepas fol
lowed a day of cannonading in which
French and German artillery Bprayed
the whole French Homme front with
hundreds of thousands of shells. French
infantrymen left the trenches toward
sundown, and scrambling over ruined
German trenches in throo waves that
rushed steadily forward, drove the
Teutons from the northeastern corner
of Maurepas in less than 30 minutes of
actual fighting.
Detachments operating on the right
broke through the enemy's positions
cast of Maurepas with such rapidity
that several bodies of German troops
who had held positions in the village
were surrounded and captured.
The Germans made weak counter at
tacks, but were beaten back while the
French advanced their lines on a front
of a mile and a quarter. -
General Haig's troops, e few hours
earlier, drove forward for 300 yards in
fighting south of Thiepval, taking a
German trench on a 400 yard front.
Zeppelins Bald Britain.
London, Aug. 25. Six Zeppelins took
part in last night's raid on the Eng
lish east coast, the second within 2-1
hours, General French, commander of

The Zeppelins were violently attack
ed by anti-aircraft guns and by a Bri
tish aviator who dashed in at close
range .despite the Zcpeplins' fire and
turned his machine gun loose upon a dir
igible. The Zeppelin escaped by mount
ing high into the clouds where the pur
suing aeroplane was unable to follow
her because of the heavy mists.
The total of casualties has not yet
been reported and the number of bombs
dropped is uncertain. Several bombs
were directed at ships along the sea
eoast but the damage thus far reported
is slight.
In one locality, the railway station
and several houses were damaged. Two
horses were killed. In another locality
two houses were wrecked.

Deutschland Flew Stars
and Stripes at Masthead
By Carl W. Ackerman.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
Berlin, Aug. 25. An American flag
was flying at the Deutschland 's mast
when the first commerce submarine to
cross the Atlantic returned to her home
port.
"How are yout" I shouted in Eng
lish from the deck of the yacht Ga
zette as we approached the Deutsch
land. "Very. well indeed." replied Captuin
Koenig with a broad smile. Then tip
ping his cap he led the crew in three
cheers for the neutral, German and even
the allied newspapers.
Thousands of school children were
crowded along the banks of the Wcser,
singing national songs and yachts, tugs,
sloops and other small craft sped hith
er and thither to catch a glimpse of
Germany 's Bca marvel. We left Breihen
aboard the Gazelle and journeyed to
ward Bremerhaveu. In the distance the
Deutschland appeared, swimming low
like a duck, escorted by two tugs and
followed by another ship carrying the
guests of honor, including Count Zeppe
lin, Dr. Helfferich and other ministers.
The ships whistled their salutes. Guns
IN WYOMING FOR
E
Is Christened "Judge Walk
over Hughes" by Typical
Western Colonel
Laramie, Wjvo., Aug. 25. Republi
can Nominee Hughes got himself a
new name, broke all quick dressing
records and otherwise lived the stren
uous life in his one day campaign in
Wyoming today.
When the nominee's special train
pulled into Rawlins at a little after!
seven, a crowd of several hundred peo
ple guthered at the railroad depot and
whooped up a lively welcome. The
governor was not scheduled to make
a speech, but when he heard the noise
he started to dress. He appeared with
in four minutes on the back platform,
his necktie askew under his ear, his
hair unbrushed, his shoestrings untied
and even his whiskers unparted, but
he got there in time to expound brief
ly his belief in republican protection
ism. Then Colonel King Stanton, wearing
a United States army uniform, came
forward and introduced himself as
having taken Pershing into Mexico.
The governor grasped his hand and
thereupon Colonel Stanton announced
to the crowd that, Indian fashion, he
had selected a new name for tie W.
f T 11. l.,t I. . "1Ar,a WolkJ
over Hughes" and the crowd acclaim
ed it with cheers.
Particularly one slightly inebriated
personage on the outskirts seemed ab

insisted on punctuating every word
with a cowboy yell "whoop-e-e-e."

to see the Germans obtaining their first
view of the Deutschland. Tears filled
I the eyes of many while the captain and
I crew lifted their hats to repeated greet
ings.
We rode alongside the Deutschland as
she moved toward her dock. She bore
no scratches. The only evidence of her
long sea journey was the fact that Bhe

said:
"With special joy I repeat that all
true Americans who are not doinir
j Mammon service to England, all Amer
icans of free beliefs of Washington and

Deutschland with warm admiration."
Lohmann referred, to the fact that

"We have got to have proper pro

the European war is over we will have
a period of stagnation in this country
like that which we had after the Un

created by the European war. There
was then a period of stagnation
throughout the country when business
was at a standstill and there were hun

long ago you could have forgotten it"

BLOODLESS NAVAL
BATTLE IS RAGING
Defending Fleet Has Taken
Many Batches of Prisoners
From Enemy
Washington, Aug. 25. A naval bat
tle is anticipated off the Atlantic
coast today. - Admiral Helm's defend
ing forces will clash with the Red ene
my fleet, naval officers here said.
The naval censor refused to divulgt
the probable point of contact between
the fleets. It is believed that cruiser
squadrons may already have met in a
preliminary engagement, but the main
battle squadrons of capital ships have
not yet come together.
A number of marine hospitals along
the coast were today notified to pre
pare to receive "wuunded" sailors
and to report at once on facilities for
handling the cases. Stores of medical
supplies are at the same time ordered
lor the vessels which are expecting
them as soon as the engagement off
shore begins.
Several batches of prisoners taken
by the defending fleet have been dis
patched to New York, Norfolk and oth
er navy yards.
Regarding nn intercepted radiogram
from the defending fleet yesterday,
telling that the transport train of the
enemy fleet was sighted, nothing fur
ther has been heard at navy head
quarters. Oificers said today they thought the
report was scut out to deceive the at
tacking fleet, but there 1s some belief
that this opinion was g:ven to cover a
leak in the censorship. Fear is felt
I that this information may have reach
ed tne enemy neet when the latter
stopped merchantment out of Atlantic
ports and took off their newspapers.
It was rumored here tocay that to pre
vent such action Admiral Helm had
been instructed to take off newspapers
irom vessels going heyonrt his lines.
America Praised
by German Editors
Berlin, via London, Aug. 25. Most
of the buildings here are decked with
flags, in celebration of the return of
the merohant-tiubmariue Deutschland.
The newspapers give the exploit of
mpiain Koenig a prominent place in
their editorial comments and discuss
the possibility of the empire's getting
certain much needed materials through
merchant submarines. Captain Koenig
and his crew have been feted as heroes.
The press gives liberal praise to the
fair and neutral conduct of the United
States government. The Cologne Ga
zette says:
"The American government was
thoroughly and correctly neutral. The
American fleet saw strictly that the
American boundaries were daily re
spected by the English as well as the
French. Increased precautions were
taken after an English cruiser had sur
reptitiously entered Chesapeake bay at
nignt."
Extended Traffic Predicted
The Tageblatt in its comment laid
stress upon the new commercial rela
tions established by means of this voy
age between Germany and the United
Slates, despite the British blockade
and restrictions upon commerce, say
ing tnut wane t lie interchange of prod
ucts is so far of a limited nature, the
company owning the submurine is busy
with preparations to extend the traf
fic. The semi-official Norddeutsche. Al
Igemeinc Zeitung points out that ships
ot tne DeutHcliluiiit and firemen tvpe
will render valuable service during the
war, nut their value will be slight on
the return of peace.
(Captain Koenig personally expressed
great satisfaction ut the treatment ac
corded him by the American govern
ment. Enemy's Scouts Have
Been Sighted Off Coast
Washington, Aug. 23. hnemy scouts
were sighted ny l mted States defend
ing fleets scouts at 11 o'clock this
morning, 120 mill's off llarnegate in
let, forty miles south of Sundy Hook.
This was the gist of a radiogram to Ad
miral Helm, commander of tho defend
ing fleet picked up by the Arlington
station this afternoon.
Jf the main home fleet is not far
from its scouts, a buttle is imminent,
officials here said.
Somewhere behind a fringe of enemy
scouts should be tho main enemy bat
tle squadron and back of that, with a
guard of light craft, the enemy trans
ports. To break through the scouting
lines and reach the -transports, either
by destroying or evading the ninin
enemy battle fleet is now the problem
of Admiral Helm.
REPUBLICANS OPTIMISTIC

People are realizing more and more

Under this continual und perpetual

then trouble starts. Uric acid backs

STATE HOUSE NEWS :

Accompanied by Fire Marshal Stev
ens, of Portland, and by Captuin Groce,
of the Portland arson squad, State In
surance Commissioner Harvey Wellti
left this morning by auto for Cottuge
Grove, where he will deliver tonight his
illustrated lecture on fire protectiou.
Commissioner Wells has compiled front
newspaper clippings the amount of lnsa
which has occurred from fires in the
stnto of Oregon, not including Portland,
during the first 20 days of August. Tho
amount is 78,500, and it is estimated
that not more than half of the loss is
covered by insurance.
Protesting against the " temporarily
disconnected" custom of the Pacific
Telephone company, A. F. Flegel, Jr., a
Portland attorney, has written a letter
to the public service commission asking;
that the commission issue an order to
Unit company requiring it to remove no,
instrument entirely from the premises
of a delinquent subscriber after reason
able notice of the company's intention
to do so hag been given. In the event
that the commission does not consider
such an order reasonable, Mr. Flegel
asks for an order to the effect that the
company be not allowed to charge or
collect tolls for time when service was
interfered with or "temporarily dis
connected" as a result of intentional
act of the company. Mr. Flegel says that
the present practice of the company in
giving notice of a subscriber 'a delin- -queney
to others before diving such.
; notice to the subscriber, which is the
effect of the "temporarily disconnect
ed" system, is neither just nor proper.
