attacks have failed.

II is reported that part OF the Brit
Ssh forces probably the Indian troops,
has been sent to strengthen the French
line extending from Roye to Douai.
Fighting along the mighty battle
front has taken on new intensity
with both sides striving to hold the
offensive at various points, notably on
the northwestern end, where French
counter attacks were repulsed by the
Germans and the advanced lines Of the
French we're compelled to fall back
about fve miles.
II officially is announced this morn
ing that at no point has the Allies left
been penetrated. The general fiankins
movement continues to be extended
,northward, while fresh troops are be-
ing sent into action at the points on
the line where the greatest German
pressure is apparent.
The Germans are endeavoring to de-
velop also a new offensive on the right
Of the French centre in the Argonnes
and along the Meuse. They are carry
ing on practically continuous night and
day attacks in these sections, but, ac-
cording to tie reports received here,
they are sacrificing many men without
gaining advantage.
Meanwhile they have denuded their
centre lines to aid in these movements
They can safely do this, however, be-
cause of the natural strength of their
positions, which would require the sac
rifice of many thousands of men if
assaulted in frontal attack and
which are admitted by the French
commanders in the field to be i'm
pregnable.
1t has been learned here that the |
slackening of the German artillery on |
the right was due primarily to their
guns being worn out through too much
use. While fresh pieces were being

NAVIGATING SHARKS GUARD
GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR
Australians Leave Captives on Island
With Novel Sentinels.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Satlsfed that a
school of man-eating sharks will pre-
vent the prisoners from trying to es-
cape, scores of Germans who were cap
tured in New Zealand were left on an
Australian island without guards, ac-
cording to Chief officer John Stevens, OF
the British steamship Delphic, which ar
rived here from Auckland New Zealand
bound for England.
Stevens said the sea monsters act as a
natural guard. and that the Germans
would make no attempt to get away
even though the prisoners are near the
mainland and could swim ashore without
much difficulty.
The Delphic steamed a. days without a
stop, having left Auckland on August %,
and arrived here with 5000 tons of beef
bound for England. The only vessel met
on the 16OOO-mile voyage was the British
schoolship Midway.

BERLIN, Oct. 6.
An official statement issued at mid
night says that the German armies in
France are making a steady advance
on both wings of the battle line, con-
tinually forcing the Allies back and
extending the lines of intrenchment, 1t
also states that the inner works of
Antwerp are being bombarded and the
lines of investment are being drawn
closer about that city.
The statement follows:
Fighting continues night and day,
particularly on our right wing, where

offensive. He is being driven back,
however. Our intrenchments have

ANTWERP, Oct. g.
German troops are now storming the
defenses of Antwerp. The attack began
late yesterday. after the big siege guns
of the Germans had battered away at
the forts for four days. and fighting was
continuous throughout the night.
The bombardment of the southern and
eastern chain of forts continues without
interval day and night. Rumors are
current that some of the forts have
been badly damaged
The night fighting took place under the
glare OF searchlights operated by both
the conflicting armies. Those of the Bel
gians were mounted on the fortifcatlons,
while those of the Germans played from
a number of balloons behind their at
tacking lines. Several times German
aeroplanes attempted to fly over the city,
but each attempt was met with a volley
of bullets that drove the aviators to
flight.
sistance is we'll maintained.
The official statement issued today
said;
The Germans continue their bonn
bardment Of the outer ring Of forts.
They have utterly failed. however. In
their attempts 10 gain a foothold at
any point. In q series of sorties the
garrison has inflicted great damage
on the enemy, who has now aban-
doned all efforts TO carry our posi-
uons by storm. Every single fort
and redoubt is holding out The fight
ing was of desperate character sew
eral times during the night, our
troops engaging in hand-to-hand
struggles with their assailants. The
Belgians Won new glory by their
heroic defense
only the military forces actively en-
gagged in the defense of Antwerp are
now permitted TO go to the front. Be-
cause of the danger OF German spies, no
persons are permitted to occupy the spires
Of the churches or the roofs of the tall
buildings.
Despite the War Ofce's optimistic
declaration however 1t is known that
the pressure IL becoming so serious that
urgent messages have been sent 20 the
British and French General StaRs asking
that immediate steps be taken to force
the Germans to raise their siege. II is
felt that Belgium has sacrificed enough in
trying to check Germany by her own
efforts and that the Allies can now spare
enough fresh troops TO undertake a
Ranking movement in force from the west
coast which would compel the Germans
to evacuate Brussels and TO lift the siege
OF Antwerp.
There is the more reason Il is felt
here, why this movement should he in
stituted because of the attitude OF the
Germans toward Brussels. They are
plainly trying 10 find an excuse 10 de-
stroy the Belgian capital, and their acts
OF oppression are causing much friction
with the inhabitants. Brussels was aban-
doned by the direct order of the French
General staff and now that body has
been appealed to TO take steps that will
force the Germans out before the city is
made a fiery sacrifice to relentless war
fare.

MUTTON TRADE STRONG
icourtesy or The Journal.l


PORTLAND, Ore, June 22.-The
wonderful strength of the sheep mar
ket at North Portland as well as at
other American stockyards points is
attracting much attention from the
trade. The big run of mutton and
lambs at North Portland during the
week failed to even in the slightest
particular weaken the trade and all
arrivals were gladly picked up by
small and large interests at last weeks
full values.
The fact that sheep owners in the
country are themselves purchasing
mutton is sufficient reason for the
strength in the trade at practically
all points Wool prices were so good
this season with the likelihood of a
similar showing next season, that
there is a general tendency at country
points to get back into the mutton
business.
Considering its closeness to the
sheep supplies and the limited demand
that has beel shown in the coast mar
| lSets for mutton up to the last year
the present strength of the trade In
the face of flush of season arrivals, Is
causing comment of much favor tC

Hog Market Closes Higher.
There was a fair advance in the
price of swine at North Portland dur
ing the week in the face of small in
crease in the marketing. Hog prices
throughout the country are showing
similar condition and there is still
room for a rather smart advance in
the local price before it reaches its
usual position in the country's trade.
Whether this advance will materialize
will repend considerably upon che
amount of stuff that is available for
killers during the coming week. Re-
ceipts during the last few weeks have
been somewhat reduced and unless
more stuff comes forward there is a
general belief that killers will be
forced to change their views and again
