The BeecheS.

This is next to the last week of
the Beeches and this fact is a mat
ter of regret with all who have had
the pleasure Of boarding at Mrs. Pet
tengilPs commodious and homelike
house. If present plans are follow
ed out. the house will close on the
tenth of September, but up to that
time large number of guests will be
accommodated in the famous way
for which Mrs. Pettengill has become
so favorably known among summer
people.
Regret was expressed over the de-
parture of Miss Anita Silcox. who
left last week for her home in Brook
Ign, n. Y. Several others Of the
guests also were obliged to leave,
their vacation times having termi-
mated, and they all expressed their
delight with the house and their in
tention to come again next year.
The Beeches has attained its popu-
larity through conscientious atten-
ton to details, and careful consider
alton for the comfort of its patrons,
and this policy has reaped it's just
reward in the excellent summer sea-
son which has been enjoyed

The fishing schooner "Lochinvar,"
Captain John Toothaker, of this place,
put into port at Portland last Tues
day from Boston, tying up at Union
wharf. She will lay UP here and
send down her topmasts and will be
thoroughly overhauled preparatory
for putting out for the winter had
dock fishing. Captain Toothaker has
given up swordfishing somewhat earl
Ter than usual this year owing to the
scarcity of fish and the low prices be-
ing received now as compared to earl.
Ter in the season. The gross stock
for the past season of the "Lochin-
var amounted to about $4,000, prac-
tically the same as last year, but in
this respect she has been considerab-
ly more fortunate than many others
of the fishing fleet as the season in
general this year has been poor. Cap
tain Toothaker reported sighting a
warship lying hove to about fifty
miles southwest of Cape Elizabeth,
which he thought was one of the

celed owing to the driving rain that
day. The weather also forced the
postponment of the game between the
West End team and Freeport which
was to have been played on Hill Crest
grounds. Chebeague and the West
End are scheduled to meet in a
double-header on Labor Day, both
games of which will be played in the
afternoon. These teams have met
three times this season and although
the East End have been victorious in
all these games, the scores have been
close, and the last contest went four
teen innings before a decision was
reached. The interest in this final
meeting of the two teams is intense
and the double attraction Is expected
to draw large crowd Both teams
have made good records this year.
Chebeague winning II out of II

OF 10, both teams having played
the strongest teams of Portland
and the vicinity. Neither can
claim the championship Of the
bay as both have lowered their colors
to Mere Point, but the Chebeague
management Is hoping to arrange a
game with that team for this Satur-
day, in which they will have chance
to retrieve their laurels.

TWO RELIEF STEAMERS
 LEAVE NEW YORK TO-DAY
Each Is Carrying Cargo of $2oo,ooo
 Worth of Provisions.

New York, Nov. 13.Two more relief steamers. carrying food to the famine stricken districts of Belgium, are to leave this port about November 25, it was announced tonight and the sail ings of four others have been virtually arranged for. The two which will steam for Europe late this month are the Agamemnon and the Niches, each Of which will carry a cargo of ap- proximately $200.000 worth of provi- sions bought by the Belgian relief com mitete.
 The purchase of these two shiploads of food, together with cash remit tances to Minister Van Dyke and Min ister Whitlock at Brussels. have vir- tually depleted the Belgian relief fund, it is stated. and the committee has renewed its appeal for contributions from the American public with which to i'll other supply boats.

 Orders were Issued today that not more than s2e0 worth of cattle in a herd be slaughtered withouea special authorization from the department, unless the owner of the herd agreed that payment should be contingent upon congress appropriating the money.

BATTLE SUCCEEDS BATTLE
 IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM
sUt Military Position Has Not Under
 gone Noteworthy Change

Paris, Nov. 12. 11:21 D. m.-Battle apidly succeeds battle in the great kruggle in northeast France and Bel jun. but notwithstanding the heroic fYorts of both the allies and the Ger mans, the military situation there ap- sarently has not undergone any note- worthy change during the last 24 hours. first one side gains ground slightly md then the other side takes it back. III the attempts Of the Germans to dvance beyond Diznude, the capture f which was made after most vio- ent effort by great masses of men, eemingly have been vain.
 The constant artillery fire has trans tfrled tho surrounding country into furnace fn which factories, churches nd houses are burning All the in- iabitants have fled. The engagement round Ypres has been in progress for hree weeks. Scarcely an inch of round has beer: gained by either army though the opposing lines have been &nt snmewhat one way or another.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-11-14

Russia has driven the Austrians out of the towns of Tarnow, Jaslo and Krosno in Galicia and the Austrians ATuscovite forces toward the Carpa- thian Mountains.
 "1'he enemy has marched into Tar now, JasIo and Krosno," is the cryptic style in which Vienna officially an- Dounces this reverse to her arms. Pe- trograd merely announces the taking of Krosno, with heavy losses to the Austrian rear guard. Nothing is said of the other two towns in the Russian official report.
 On the western battle front the allies are said to have taken Dixmude from the Germans. This report is an unofficial one and has not been con- Arned by either Paris or London. The fighting in the vicinity of Dixnlude and also around Ypres continues extreme ly violent, although it has slackened somewhat compared with previous days.
 In the western zone both the allies and the Germans make claims to suc- cess at vapjous points. These claims, however, do not carry announcements of decisive victories at any point The Trench say they have progressed to the south of Bixschoote, re-taken a vil- 1sge east of Ypres and repulsed a Ger man offenes to the south of Ypres
 The Germans say their marines at Nieuport inflicted heavy losses on the allies and that they captured 700 pris- oaers, that l, 100 allies were taken cap five at Ypres and that heavy casualties were inflicted in repuising attacks around Sotssons.
 That big engagements already are in progress 0 rare about to begin in the east, all the way from the northeast Of Prussia to the eastern point of Ga- ticia, seems evident from the troop dis positions of the Germans and tbe Rus sians. Some battles have already taken place in the northeast, where the Germans are making preparations to contest vigorously any Russian at- tempt to gain a foothoId in eastern Prussia.
 The Austrians say they have entire ly cleared their territory of the Ser vian enemy
 A Turkish report coming by way of Bediin says the Russians are retreat ing all along the entire battle front, hard pressed by the Turks or all sides.
