"Though the battle between the Ri

ITALY MUST GRAB
IF IT WOULD HOLD
If Italy Would Join Allies Ii
Would Help Bring Peace
Much Quicker

Petrograd, Sept. 1S.-Russian news
papers chorused demand today that
Italy join the allies against Germany
and Austria Hungary.
Should it do so, it was said Austria
Hungary would be compelled to sue for
peace Immediately and with Austria
Hungary's support cut off, Germany un-
doubtedly would see the uselessness of
further resistance.
1t was asserted that the German gov
ernment had led the masses of Ger
mans to believe the Italians would
shortly join them.
These newspaper uterances followed
a reported mint by the Petrograd to the
Rome foreign office that Italy must
seize Austria S Italian provinces if it
wanted them, as they would be too rich
reward for mere neutrality.
In its demands, the press was believed
to be gOvernmentally inspired.

SAYS CRIMINAL LAWS
ARE NOT ENFORCED

A letter was received this morning
by Governor West from a klamath Falls
woman, claiming that the restricted dis
trict in klamath Falls is flOurshing
and stating that cases against the own
crs had been filed in the circuit court
last December but that they had never
come to trial before Judge Benson. The
woman whose name is withheld pending
investigation says that the houses are
still running full blast and like many
other mothers and wives in Klamath
Falls she would like to know why the
cases against them have never been
tried
Governor West will investigate con-
ditions at that city and in case the
charges in the letter are substantiated
will bring action to compel the of
ficials of that district to do their duty
The letter says in part:
If you care to investigate this mat
ter if you will send someone here l viii

thing | have said.
g am writing this letter at the sug-
gestion of number of my friends to see
if there can not be something done to
see why it is that every few months
there is great excitement about the
red light district being closed and suits
are filed in the circuit court but the
houses never close and the suits are
never tried. -
1t is necessary for every circuit judge
in the state to certify before he ear
draw his salary that he has tried all
cases submitted to him within three
months. The conditions will be in
vestigated at Klamath Falls before the
warrant is issued for the next quarter
for Judge BensOn's salary.
Governor West says that conditions
at klamath Falls have been brought tC
his attention before but that nothing
has ever been done to secure any con

AT any rate, the Austrian situation
was serious.
The Vienna foreign office denied
however, that it was seeking peace.
The surmise was ventured--on no of.

position to talk peace terms to its own
best advantage.
Yet the Washington administration
did not seem to consider that its peace

EMERGENCY RATE
ASKED FOR FRUIT

That the entire northwest and all
fruit interests are lining up in support
of the emergency freight rate, as re-
quested by the Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change, is evidenced by the fact that
they are receiving cooperation from ev-
cry hand. 1t seems that this contention
may be the means of bringing together
the fruit interests of the northwest gem
orally on other points for a common
good.
The initiative as taken by the ex-
change in addressing u memoriam to
the common carrier of the northwest,
setting forth the need for alienation
of present difficulties, in the shape of
a reduction on apple freight to the
Missouri river and points east. 1t has
been approved and IS being endorsed in
an active way by not only the growers
but by all other fruit handling organi-
cations. The bringing together of the
various shipping interests, while neces-
sary at this time, may fine an added
benefit in getting together on other
important branches of this industry
The strong way in which the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors are lending
their assistance toward this end is ex-
pressed in the filing of an opinion by
their organization in support of the ex-
change and on behalf OF their growers.
Their declaration urges and requests
the carriers to give the proposition, as
presented by the exchange, for an en-
ergency rate on apples of 65 cents to
the Missouri river and 80 cents to the
east for a period of six months, imme-
date and serious consideration, as the
situation is such that prompt attention
is imperative
The Western Oregon Fruit Distrib-
utors have joined with the North Pa
cific Distributors in general support of
the movement, assuring the cause their
aid in every way possible.
With every evidence in favor of the
grower in this particular ease and with
the apparent readiness of the railroads
to listen and give heed, it is reassuring
| indeed.
While it would mean, to some extent,
cutting down of the revenue to the
carriers, still it may be in the long run
that they will profit thereby for it is
believed that disastrous season might
react considerably in the amount OF
tonnage available for the railroad, as
well as in land values, both Of which
they are dependent upon.
III has been intimated that a mini
mu of $4,000 pounds to the car of ap-
ples might be acceptable in lieu of the
old rate in case of this emergency. This
would mean the loading Of 720 boxes ia
the car instead of $50.
All eyes from the northwest are turn
ed toward the railroads, and it is not
too big guess to say that the roads
themselves are doing some hard think
ing along these lines.

TWILIGHT FALLS ON
FIFTH DAY OF FIGHT
Between Allies and Germans
With No Decisive AdVan-

Vienna, via Rome, Sept. 49,
4 tremendous battle between
Austrians and Russians was in
progress this afternoon along

W-Przemysl fortified line had
failed. The Russian losses were
enormous.
The Austrian armies were

BRITISH PREVENT
BREAKING OF LINES
Extent Of British Losses Not
Made Known But They Are
Said to Be Enormous
(By Ed L. Keen.)

London, Sept. lS.-The British had
again prevented General Won Kmk and
his Germans from breaking the Franco
British allies left in Northern France,
the war office stated this afternoon.
There had been series of fierce en-.
counters, it was announced, but the Bri.
tons had succeeded each time in repuls.
ing the German rushes.
Sir Charles Ferguson S artillery was
given credit for turning the tide.
British newspapers are emphasizing
the declaration, in the kings speech
proroguing parliament, that Great Bri.
tain would not cease nghting until il
had attained the object ror which the
fighting was begun.
This was interpreted as meaning that
the British would insist on decisive
German defeat
Reinforcements were still being
transported in large numbers from Eng
land to the French side of the chan
mel.
Tho extent of the British losses had
not been made public but il was be
lieved they have been enormous.

at approximately $4,000.
They based this on an estimate from
the French front that the German
losses had been 1900 daily for a fort.
night. The allies losses probably were
heavier than this, the estimators stated,
but they put it at the same figure, get
ting a total of SO, 500 on both sdes for
the fortnight.
To this they added the 100000 Aus.
trian losses admitted in the fighting
with the Germans and brought their to-
tai up to $4,000.
In addition to this there were to be
taken into account the Russian losses
in Galieia, Russian Poland and east
Prussia, the Germans east Prussiar
and those killed and wounded il
the fighting between the Austrians
Seryians and Montenegrins, and in tn,
engagements between Germans and Bel
gians.
In figuring that these would bring
the final figures up to 100000, tn,
statisticians said they undoubtedly wer'
guessing too low.

Battle Of Aisne Now In Its
Fifth Day With No De-
ciSiVe Results
GERMAN ARMY 100000
ALLIES HAVE 100000
Germans Strongly Entrenched
Which Makes Armies
About Equal

Inc Hague, Sept. 49, The
battle of the Aisne entered on its
fifth day today.
All accounts agreed that it
was the bloodiest of the war
thus far, 1t was said it far sur
passed the battle of the Marne
and was therefore entitled to the
now somewhat stereotyped de-
scription "of the greatest battle
in the worlds history"
Eleven hundred thousand Ger
mans were estimated to be en-
gagged against 100000 of the
allies.
Descriptions of fighting along
the eastern French frontier have
hitherto generally assumed that
the opposing lines extended from
northeastern France all along the
border into Alsace.
While this is correct in a gem
eral way, it is more convenient
for the purpose of avoiding con-
fusion in designations of centers,
lefts and rights, to regard the
conflict in northeastern France
as a separate engagement.
On this theory the lines would
extend from Compiegne, along a
reverse curve, following the
course of the Aisne, through
Craonne and Rethel, down past
Montfaucon and Varennes, to the
Verdun region.
The German right would be
the force under General Won
Kluk, the center General Won
Buelow's army and the left the
German crown princes follow
ing.
Along this battle front there
was no indications up to today
of a decisive result. The allies
were on the offensive but the
Germans were powerfully en-
trenched, had the advantage of
strong positions and did not seem
to be yielding.
Paris reports spoke Of the French as
gaining ground in Alsace in the face
Of a desperate resistance.
1t was said there had been no change
in the situation in the Vosges aud Lor-
raine.
German and Russian versions of tha
situation in east Prussia conflicted, but
all indications were that, at best, Gem
eral Rennenkamp, the ears command
er, was fighting defensiyely and barely
holding his own.
In Russian Poland the czar's troops
were reoccupying the towns taken from
them during the invasion earlier in the
war and seemed to be having matters
their own way.
Accounts concerning develop ments in
Galicia, like those from east Prussia,
were in conflict. The Austrians pro-
fessed to be holding the San River line;
the Russians maintained they were fall
ing back from the San toward Cracow,
where German corps was waiting to
nelp them.
The best judges here said there was
no question that the Austrian forces had
been defeated crushingly and they
doubted if their officers would be able
to reorganize them sufficiently for fur
ther effective resistance.
