ARMIES Of BOTH
GREATLY EXHAUSTED
UTTEir WEARINESS OF BOTH
SIDES BRINGS LULL IN
FIERCE FIGHTING,
MEN TRTT0 REST
Many Gallant Deeds, and Almost Superhuman
Bravery Marks Great
Struggle Between the Large Opposing
Armies.
Oveipowering fatigue and privations
resulting from, five days of unrelenting
struggle brought about Saturday
night a temporary lull in the
combat of the powerful armies that
are face to face along the rivers Oise.
Ai'snn and YVoevro.
The roar of eanr.on, machine guns
and rifles died down early in tho night;
(iiiu inu j.'i i v\ m ii'ivs
poscci probably altogether of 1,000,001)
or more men wdhin touch cn an uneven
hue and ready to spring to a
fatal grip, scarcely could be conceived,
so intense was the stillness
broken only by an occasional vagrant
report.
The soldiers of the allies and the
Germans alike were snatching a little
rest huddled up in the strong entrenchments.
In some places the
trenches were half filled with water
as equinoctial storms continued.
The French and British, like the
Germans, had entrenched and settled
clown for the stern fight which
threatened to be even longer and more
sanguinary than the battle of the
-Marne. Progress is being made at
some points by the allies, but very
slowly, and the developments of the
24 hours were not important except
that it < onfirmed that the Germans
have received rinforccmcnts
from Lorraine.
There were a few isolated encounters
Saturday, but both sides appeare 1
to have abandoned* the rash movements
across the open which marked
.the early stages of the war. Obviously
the deadly machine guns taught a
lesson.
One of the incidents when the fierce
lighting was awful in its sacririce,
Wits widely recounted.
< 'A British infantry regiment, upon
receiving nn order to advance and
take a Gorman position, knelt for a
moment in prayer. Then the men,
knowing- that their charge was to he
terrible in cost, sprang to their feet
and .vith fixed bayonets clambered
out of the shelter of the trench. In
short and rapid rushes they advanced
in wide open order, alternately lying
down and then making another dash
of 113 yards. From the German position
came the thick hail of the machine
guns. The attacking soldiers
hurrahed and sang a;> t) ey pressed
forward. Many fed with cries oi' de
feriBimali. ii on their lips.
Finally those who remained of the
tregimcnt reached and took the German
position aider a desperate hand
10 hand encounter. This was was only
one among many acts of courage
and ucsciplhi e on the part of the
French, British ami Germans alike at
various points along the line.
Man 1'igMs Policeman.
Barricading himself in his homo
when two patrolmen came to his
house to arrest him for beating his
wife, Frank Latina, an Italian, last
Saturday fatally shot one policeman
and seriously wounded another. A
hundred policemen with riot guns
were sent to Latina's home and more
than a half hour were held at bay be
cause "Latina used nis wife and child
.as a shield. He stood behind them
and defied the officers. Suddenly he
had a change of heart and threw the
revolver into the crowd after which he
surrendered. ?
Steamer Sank.
With a loss of life of at least 74
persons, the steamer Francis H. Leggett
foundered last Friday in the
Ineavy seas oft' the Columbia river and
but two of those aboard are known to
have been saved. They are Alex Farrel,
brought to Astoria, Oregon, port
on the Beaver at noon last Saturday.
Marketing Cotton.
The announcement that the business
men and farmers are organizing
in an effort to finance the Southern
cotton crop through the European
crisis, is one of the most important
events that has shown up on the industrial
horizon for many vears.
There have been numerous plans
sprung out of this great problem
whereby the farmer could chase the
bear to his den, but the bear always
escaped, and the farmer was usually
caught, and many would-be financiers
have talked as voluminously on the
subject as a book farmer discussing
the boll weevil. Hut the present
plan cuts out the middleman. The
man with the cotton and the man
with the money are now talking face
to face, and it is a great hour for
Dixieland. |

PEACE EFFORTS !
j AT STANDSTILL
WILL NOT PUT UMTEI) STATES
IN POSITION OF DISREGARDING
NEUTRALITY OBLIGATIONS.
Washington, Sept. 19.?Efforts to
bring about peace in Europe virtually
are at a standstill, according to White
House and state department officials,
i Acting Secretary Robert Lansing to1
day said the message received from
I Ambassador Gerard, giving his conversation
with the imperial chancel- 1
lor as to peace proposals, had not i
j been forwarded to American embasi
series, nor had the subject been dis;
cussed with foreign ambassadors
1 ! il is < a
, nere. wane tne message trom Mr.
Gerard recording the chancellor's re*
marks suggested that the United
States should ask for peace terms of
: the allies, because, it was alleged,
I they had begun the war, the American
; government does not construe that
i suggestion as an obligation. lVesin
j dent Wilson it is known, is endeavor- (
ing scrupulously to avoid thrusting
the olTices of the United States upon |
any of the belligerents at an oppor- ;
tune time.
The president is biding his timev
hoping that as the war progresses one
of the belligerents will take Home <&rfi
inite steps which will enable the Uciitj
ed States to help make peace.
1 Dispatches from Great Britain in,
dicate some resentment over the talk
: of peace emanating from the United
States.
Ambassador Hcrrick at Paris has
arranged it, became known today, to
transfer the American ambassy to
! Former Representative William CD
Sharp of Ohio, the newly appointed
ambassador, October 1. The state department
had Left it to the me'\-.
voiced to arrange the date.
