CONDENSED NEWS
OF PROGRESS OF
WAR IN EUROPE
Events Of Importance as Outlined
in Dispatches From the
Front.
LONDON HEARS OF VICTORY
Reported Defeat Of Section Of German
Army Lacked Official Confirma alton
Enormous Numbers Of Troops En-
gagged In the Conflicts Raging Over
Hundreds Of Miles.

At the beginning of the week 1t was
announced at London that General
Pau claimed a victory by the allies
over the German Imperial Guard, I'M
der command of Crown Prince Fred
erick Wilhelm, in which the British
annihilated the opposing Germans. An
unconfirmed rumor said that the sur
render Of the German guard. with the
crown prince in their midst had been
demanded. The British official press
bureau issued no confirmation of this
report.
A general summary Of the wars
standing, so far as 1t is possible to es-
certain the facts, would seem to be
somewhat as follows:
Nancy, being subjected to an at
tack, said to be directed by the kaiser
himself, evidently had its means Of de-
tense considerably strengthened. and
the French must hold strong positions
here. Such an attack would appear to
be in accordance with the plan OF
forcing this part of the French army
back toward Paris and incidentally
against the advancing German right,
thus accomplishing the object Of cut
ting OF its line OF retreat and pos
sibly effecting its capture. There is a
certain element of doubt about this
attack on Nancy In view OF the fact
that the Germans had occupied Lune-
vile, a strong fortress about eleven
miles from II, some ten days ago and
that the Notifications OF Nancy are
old and obsolete. II would sound
more probable IL the attack were d.
rected on Toul.
Big Battle impending.
At any rate, the presence OF the kali
ser in that war zone would mean that
some decisive stroke is pending. The
French have been apprehensive of de-
terminod German action In that ter
rain and are supposed to have a
strong force there. This force, though
possibly inferior In numbers, has an
advantage In its defensive position
and ought to give a good account OF It.
self in the coming action which, for
France, may be the final issue.
Paris reports that the Germans have
been forced back in a southwesteriy
direction by flank movements of Gen.
eral Joffre on the right and by Gen
eral French on the left wing. Now
this is Just the direction In which
they swung from north OF Paris, and II
appears by this report that they have
been pushed where they intended TO
go. There is some confusion here, as
General French in the same report is
reported driving the Germans from
Lille. II seems to be certain, though,
that a great battle Is being fought
along an undulating line between
Meaux and Verdun.

cesses on French territory contained

uted them to relay work, is plausible

No Pay Until Completed.

To safeguard the city against un-
scrupulous contractors, it was decided
to have the new charter provide that no
payment for work shall be made until
the contract is completed. This might
break few contractors, but they would
not try to shove inferior work off on
the city, it was reasoned. The discus
sion of this plan brought out that the
work of street contractors is not at all
satisfactory to most of the members Of
the charter commission.
Methods of assessing for improvements
and collection for same were discussed.
In this connection it was stated that
the supreme court of Oregon has never
upheld a tax title to property.
Provisions for making the usual mill
and half levy for streets was in

amount was never enough. The propo
sition to make it mill and half more
