To Help England. .srt
A brief dispatch from Lisbon says
the Portuguese congress has decided
that Portugal should cooperate with
the Allies. The minister of war has
called for partial mobilization of the
army. The treaty by which Portugal
believes 1t is bound to aid the Allies
vas made In 1903 with England. and 1t
provides that each shall mutually aid
and help the other" In case of attack.
French Guns Near Metz.
French artillery continue to bonn

Metz. Germany The development OF
an offensive In Lorraine has long
been expected. but to what extent II
may be carried was not indicated at
the war office.
From north Of Verdun and south OF
Metz the German line extends In a
wedge into the Verdun-T Toul defenses
of the French. The two sides OF the
wedge are Joined IN the region of
chauvonyourt and st. Mihiel. where
desperate fighting has occurred the
last week. 1t was at Chauvonvourt
that the French suffered heavy losses
through the explosion of German
mines. The French have been unable
to drive the Germans from the posi-
tions they now hold in this district
and the movement upon Arnayille is
evidently tightening of the circle
which the French are endeavoring to
drive about st. Mihiel
Heavy Attack on Allies.
The Allies have been attacked in
force from Ypres to La Bassee. A
terrific battle has commenced. The
Germans have heavy reinforcements
and fresh guns for this renewal of the
effort to cut through the Allies line.
The English artillery, however thus
far has thwarted all the German at
tempts.
II Is now said the plan is to reach
the French coast by December 10. The
Germans show few signs of being
staggered by their enormous losses
and dispatches from Berlin set forth
that the German troops are far better
able to stand exposure to the cold
than are the allies. The forces OF
Emperor William are trained and
clothed for just such an emergency,
while the troops OF the Allies, from
the south Of France, from Morocco and
from India must necessarily suffer
greatly.
Cold and Fatigue.
The extreme cold weather and the
exhaustion of the troops engaged
have yitually brought the battle in
Flanders to a standstill.

It is expected that the siege will occupy long period of time the Jap have intention of taking chances and will be quite satisfied to hold strong force outside the position to pre- vent the Germans from making successful sOrtie and to keep them within the walls until they forced to give up by lack of supplies. The investment of the place. n deed may develop into sort of freezing out game.

Two of Them Have Friendly Bout With Razor and One Is
 Stitched Up

The cannery crew that came here on the Dirigo will be sent out on the Northwestern by Mir. Peterson, one of the owners of the cannery in which the men were employed.
 Two of the gentlemen, Mexicans, had a little altercation last evening which resulted in the insertion of a razor blade under the armpit of one of them. The injured man was taken to the hospital where he had the wound attended to by Dr. Romig and he is again on the street this morning fraternizing with the other party to the little episode. His name was not Obtainable and when he was asked for the name of the man who used the razor he said merely that he was q friend-him all right. We just had a little miX-up" or words to that effect. Several of the men are supposed to be packing knives and care is being ta- ken by the authorities to prevent any further ebullitions of friendly consid- eration like that which occurred last evening.
 It was learned this afternoon that the name of the Mexican who was stabbed last evening was J. Moralis.

NOTES ON THE WAR

After the declaration of war between Great Britain and Germany and the day when general prayers fol victory were said throughout England St. Paus cathed ra was crowded to the doors from morning to night wt the hundreds of thousands who followed each other to the doors of the great cathedral.
 The London Economist declares that the refusal of the American government to permit loan to France was wise move the giving of loan to of the allies would mean that loan could not be refused to Germany and that loan to Germany would mean the prOIongation the war.
 Great Britain has lent fifty million dollars to Belgium ard this fact is regarded significant as the country would lend to nation which believed was about to be conquered and annexed.
