The German offensive against Riga lias been gaining in power now for nearly a weok. Riga is approximately 350 miles dis tant from I'etrograd on the Baltic sea. For the past three weeks there have been indications of a powerful German tlrive centering here at the point near eat to Petrograd of the fighting fronts. A week ago German destroyers, mine sweepers and other naval vessels, with hydroplanes, entered the Gulf of Riga while the German artillery fire on land increased to a considerable volume. The enemy troops struck across the Dvina river" southeast of Riga, moving for ward on approximately a twenty mile front. Strong resistance was offered this ad vanee, but the enemy pressure, was too strong. "To the west of Riga," the state ment said, "we retired yesterday morn ing on the line of ilderiingshof, Meden end Dalin in the direction oT Ikskul, on the north bank of the Dvina. In attacks along the river Jaegel last night the enemy penetrated positions in the region of Melmugnr and Skripto. Some of our detachments voluntarily Tctired northward- Counter attacks Were unsuccessful." The present German offensive is the fourth against Riga. In 1915, General Ilindenburg was held in check for months by General Russeky,- despite a tremendous poworf ul drive. Two pre vious attempts, both spasmodic, but, nevertheless attempted by strong forc es, were repelled. Abandonment of Riga has been fore cast for the past monrh. It was along this front, according to reports, 'that tho most complete demoralization of Russian troops was discovered. Petro grad official reports of even the past week mentioned the desertion from the fighting front of whole units of Rus sian troops- Premier KerensUy center ed hfs efforts two months back to re store fighting efficiency on this par ticular part of the line. Would Restore Monarchy London, Sent. 3. The reason for the German drive against Riga and toward I'etrograd was seen today in the royal ist plot uncovered in Moscow. The Ger man plan apparently was to lend all aid to those who sought restoration of the monarchy, while simultaneously smashing through Russian defenses in in the hope of reaching Petrograd.

Sept. 3. Hundreds of hop-pickers started work iu Lane coun ty yards today. Borne yards began picking Friday. The crop" this year is or unusually choice quality and grow ers expect high prices will make up for shortage. The yield will be about one-half normal, according to J. H. Sen vey, of Springfield. The short crop is the result of the drouth, but dry conditions have im proved the quality of hops, which are free from mould and lice. The growers will rusli picking to yet the entire crop into the dryers before it rains. J. W. Seavcy, with a yard of 137 seres on the McKenzie, reports 1500 pounds to the acre, the best crop he has over harvested. His yard is the one ex ception in Lane county this year. His success is due to irrigation. Yards without irrigation will produce about one-half yield. This is true.of the E. E. Morrison yard near Springfield the Benjamin Hammit yard on the Mo hawk and the Thornberry & Heyer yards on the Willamette, which are among the largest yards in Lane coun ty. Growers report that there is no scar city of pickers this season. "THREE OF A KIND" EACH PAJDFOR HABIT Old Man Barleycorn, Princess Nicotine and Miss Cosmetics Pay Big Bill Washington, Sept. 3.

SAY WALL STREET AND FAMILY TIES BEAT THEIR MOVE Conscriptionists Say Tax Wculd Bear Too Heavily On Some Senator's Folks COMMITTEE MEASURE ' WILL NOT BE AMENDED Wednesday Senate Votes On AO AmendmentsActs On Incomes Friday Washington, Sept. 3. Wall Street in fluence and "family ties" are held jointly responsible today for the odds against wealth conscription in the sen ate. Those favoring levy of from fifty to eighty per cent taxes on war profits admit they are beaten temporarily but say the country ' will know event ually the cause of solicitude for the purses of the rich and the reaction will come then. Pressure of Wall Street, first notice able early last week, following elimi nation or tuat section of the revenue bill increasing first class letter rates to three cents, has been growing con stantly, it is claimed, until today, when victory l or tne committeo low .war prot its provisions appears to have won it's fight. That many senators whoso families or relatives are interested in concerns making huge war profits have suffered from the natural influence of such a situation and turned their votes to the aid of the committee bill, has stirred bitter corridor comment among wealth conscriptionists. These today began their final drives to make riches pay the war bills. The Johnson-Borah group and LaFollette 's cohorts are now fighting to force the committeo to increase its present proi its tax sehedulo of thirty one per cent oh proceeds derived from the war. . wui vote weonesaay Wednesday the senate votes on all amendments covering war profits tax ation and will clean up that section of the revenue bill. Friday it will act on the income section- Both the committee and the wealth conscriptionists feel that such a stir over war profits taxation has been cre ated throughout the country that the people should know their positions. Each side has launched a campaign of education. The operation of the war prolits tax provisions as advocated by the committee and Johnson respect ively, are as follows: The committeo plan "war profits" the difference between the net 1917 income of a corporation and the total of its average pre-war profits (com puted from profits of 1911, 1912 and 1913t plus from six to 10 per cent on its invested capital are taxed on n graduating scale up to 31 per cent, ac cording to the percentage of increase in war profits over peace profits. The Johnson plan sets "war prof its" as tho flat difference between the net 3917 income of a corporation and the average pro-war profits (computed as by the committee plan) and places a flat high tax upon them. LaFollette s plan is the same. Joint Food Control Along With Canada Is How Under Way Ottawa. Ont.. Sept. 3 Joint food control" between Canada and the Unit ed S'ates was under way today. The Canadian food controller announced that F. W. Walcott, "personal repre sentative of Herbert Hoover," had been conferring with Canadian food control officials for two days. "The conference," the statement said, "has resulted in establishment of the closest possible relationships be twen two administrations and the ba sis of a working agreement has been reached. "The international nature of the food problem both demands and is re ceiving the mutual consideration of the uritish, United States and Cahadias ad ministrations. Plans are maturing for joint action to secure especial commod ities for export, while protecting the general public against exploitation and permitting fair returns to producers," WHISKEY EMPTIED IN SEWEE.

FULTON IS GIVEN DECISION IN SIXTH BECAUSEI FOUL Had Big Lead, Having Won Every Round Except First . Which,Was Even MORRIS USED HIS HEAD AND FOUGHT LIKE GOAT Made Poor Showing and Fought Foul Was Warned to Change Tactics Ringsido, Meyers Lake, Canton, Ohio, Sept. 3, Fred Fulton, the Minnesota giant, won from Carl Morris, the Okla homa giant, on a foul' in the sixth round of their scheduled fifteen round battle here this afternoon. Referee Hinkel awarded the fight to Fulton, fter he had repeatedly warned Morris to stop butting. . , Fulton had a big lead, having -won every round except the first, which was even. Six thousand fight fans sheuted un animous approval as Referee Hinkel disqualified Morris. The fouls were deliberate and repeated. Morris' tactics were so raw that the fans were all yelling for Fulton from the fourth round on. Morris was hooted and jeered by all as tho fight was stopped and a hundred fans leaped into the ring. Several made a wild rush for Morris and two men took furious swings at him but were pulled 'away and Morris was hurried to his dressing room amid a storm of hisses and cat calls. Hinkel, who also promoted tho fight, and Mike McKinney gave out a state ment that Morris' guarantee of $5000 is held up. It is possible he won't get anything more than his expenses and tho share that goes to his manager, Jack Curley, who is not blamed for Carl's foul battling. . It had been Fulton's fight all the way- and this seemed" to make Morris desperate.. HiB famous infighting tac tics faileif entirely. Fulton fought a clean, heady battle all the way. Morris finally ceased using his fists altogeth er and began boring in to butt Fulton's jaw with the back, of his head. Referee Hinkel warned Morris, fully twenty times before he gave the fight to Ful ton. Fulton landed about thirty blows to Morris' one in the sixth round. Fulton's science was far superior to anything expected and the ringsiders were unstinted in their praise of the big fellow. Jess Willard Absent. Ringside, Meyers Lake, Canton, O., Sept. 3. The heavyweight battle of Fred Fulton and Carl Morris drew a $23,000 crowd to the Canton ball park this afternoon.

It favored Morris five to four. conspicuous by his absence was Champion Jess illard, who sent word ho couldn't leave his wild west show. But he added ho expects to meet the winner of this fight, if he looms up as a logical contender for the crown. A challenge from Big Jim Coffee for the winner was brought by Ed Curley of New 1'ork. Referee Matt Ilinklc, who is staging this show, announced the big light would be put on immediately following the tirst preliminary as it looked like rain and he didn't care to take chances.

They fought with five ounce gloves. In Morris' corner were Jack Grace, the old time trainer, Jack Curley, Matt Brock, Joe Bonds and Eddie Guisburg- Fulton was seconded by Tex O ' Rourke, Mike Collins, Gene Connor and Harry Wills. The Canton authorities set their foot down on the plan for a rel'erec's decis ion. They announced a decision would mako the battle a prize fight, whereas a 110 decisiou bout, they said, would be a iegai boxing match.- Oifii ial timekeepers were Bob Max well, Philadelphia, Walter Liginger, chairman of the Wisconsin boxing com mission and Otto Kioto, Denver, light by Bounds First round: Morris staitcd to rush Fulton as soon as the gong rang. Ful ton had trouble getting in that lanious left jab as Morris kept closing iu as fast as they broke. Morris landed one of his fierce kidney wallops with the left early in the round. That roused Ful ton and he began to work his left to the face with effect. Morris' left eye was badly bumped just before the round ended. Even round. Second round: Fulton started charg ing and landed on Carl's solar plexus (Continued on page jrlx.)

German Liberals Would Put Germany in a Position to Have Her Word Acceptedi (By Carl D. Groat) (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington. Sept. 3. Germany's lib- i:iuia UrtVV EHUlLUtJ LU UCllllUlljr acceptable as a conferee at tho peace ; table. State department advices today from I neutral nations near Germany showed that the liberals are impressed with President Wilson 'as insistence upon, eliinintion of autocracy and that they: are urging reforms which would make tho German people not the kaiser the real peacemakers. Amplified press comment from Ger man and Dutch papers indicated that while the president's peace reply met a cold reception from most of the press, a struin of possibilities showed iu so cialist opinion. The socialists will now press on for internal reform, the department mes sages showed. The present move is like ly to bear further fruit as winter ap proaches with its new rigors. The peo ple at homo are beginning to clamor ior something besides autocratic prom ises, that do not coine true. The friedentsehn peaco longing is still more vigorous than censored press messages showed.

C. Boyd Hudson Bay company employe, is here today, resting up after six years spent at the Hudson Bay post at Telegraph cieek, He views the hurrying world with amazement and is trying to learn the entire three year's history of the world war in a day. His isolation has been compMe. It takes three months for a letter to reach Telegraph Creek from Victoria. "We're pretty busy up there in the summer and in the winter tho hardships of travel are not encour aging," he said today. The trappers in the Telegraph Creek district have not prospered during the last year, he de clared, because of the nnuBual scarcity of fur-bearing animals. He will leave In a few days for Quesnel, where he will take charge of a Hudson Bay post. A Handsome Return A. Riggs, a Powell Butte ranclier early tlus spring bought 40 acres of al falfa laud at $75 per acre. Thirty-seven acres was in alfalfa. Ho has sold the first cutting to William McCorniack,' a Central Oregon sheepmana, for $1500, and has contracted his second cutting at the same price per ton. This year's crop will more than pay the purchasu price on the land. British Cruiser Refused to Visit Buenos Aires Beunos Aires, Sept. 3 The greatest curiosity was aroused here today over the sudden decision of the British cruiser Glasgow hot to visit Buenos Aires. After announcing it would drop anchor here, the worship approached the harbor, hung around all day and thee departed out to sea. Tho fact that Argentine has patched up her differences with Germany and is no longer hovering on the brink of .

TRIAL OF KELLY MAV Burn's Detective Active In His Defense Accuses Others of "Knowledge" Red Oak, Iowa, Sept. 3. It was al most certain today that Lyn Goorge J. Kelly, itinerant unordained minister, would go to trial here tomorrow charg ed with the murder of "Lena Stillin gor and seven others" committed at Villisca, June 10, 1912. Both tho state and defense today said Kelly's trial for the alleged killing of Joe Moore, Mrs. Moore and the four Moore child ren and Lena and Iua Stillinger, would begin tomorrow uulesa " sama miexufiet od factor entered the case," The murders were committed five years ago as the eight persons were asleep in the Moore home.

The state says Kelly confes sed last Friday that he slew the eight nersoiiB in answer to a command from a "shadow the voice of God," to "slay utterly" and that the signed confession would be read at the trial. The defense, headed by Judge A. L.

While publicly they have not criticised his statement, privately they aro now indicating that they dis like his views. A prominent diplomat here suggested today that Germany's present etieude ought to be able to put up tariff walls against a very near business rivnl vh'"i America, three thousand miles distant, constructs a tariff wall against Europ ean competition. Tho allies have not yet reached Wil son's view that elimination of knis'" ism will also eliminate German v ' vicious intermingling of business and politics. m 1 Salsm Responds Slowly to Call for Bosks Comparisons are most awfully odious especially when the comparison is against us. But the fact is, Salem has been a trifle slow when it comes to giving books to be sent to the soldiers, as so far only 75 bonks have been re ceived nt the city library. While Salem bss been giving the 75, Pendleton gave 402, Baker, 230, Corvallis 124 mid Eu gene 115. Just to bring the capitnl city iu line with tho other more energetic cities, tho Boy Scouts have volunteered their services for next Thursday when they will call for bonks any. one might wish to give. All that v.ill be necessary is to telephone the public library and Thursday the Boy Scouts will be on hand for the books. This was the plan followed by Pendleton in getting its '(12 books. Through the national lilirary plan, the books are circulated from camp to camp thus keeping a new sup y)v on hand at each cantonment.
