Allies Agree To Make Peace
Only By Mutual Consent

said, the allies have expected Turkey
openly to align herself with Germany
and Austria, but the delay in the
porte's action, construed by many as
merely a means of completing mill
tary preparations, nevertheless has
produced ray of hope that the wa"
party in Constantinople will not tri-
umph.
Many of the conservative party in
Turkey are contending that Turkeys
finances were so consumed in her
last wars that new conflict would
be economically ruinots and that her
Mediterranean ports would be at the
mercy of the Angle-French fleets,
while the Balkan states waged a sep
arate war on land.
All the considerations have been
placed before the porte by diplomats
representing the allies. Last re-
ports, however show wavering, with
the military arm Of the Ottoman en-
rire preparing industriously for all
eventualities.
ROumania's Attitude Unknown.
Reports that Greece had announced
her intention of making no war is
regarded as having quieting effect
at Constantinople. Today 1t was
learned on high authority here that
Turkey was not so sure of Rouman-
las support as previously.
Roumania, 1t was said, has had
secret alliance with Austria for some
time and has always harhored
grudge against Russia. The Rouman-
ians, however, are really Slavic, and
the indications are that they plan to
offset any help which Bulgaria might
give to Turkey, circumstance be-
lieved to have caused the porte to
delay action until 1t can learn more
of the Intentions OF it's northern
nelghbors. 70 p

Wife Beating
Creates Scandal

Quite a scandal was created few
mornings ago by one Of our we'll
known real estate men beating his
good wife up. Several of the neigh
Dor women claim to have seen a part
of the incident. We withhold the
mans name, for he promised his wife
that it would never happen again,
and he is now ashamed of his action,
so should not be condemned too
harshly by other husbands. 1t was
at least $50 in the morning, and
eye witnesses declare that he not
only beat his wife up, but actually
had the fire going and the coffee pot
on before the surprised wife could
get to the kitchen and fully realize
how badly she really was beaten.

Masonic Gathering
In Ashland Sept. "a

On Thursday, September "a, there
will be one OF the largest Masonic
gatherings in Ashland ever witnessed
in southern Oregon. The annual con-
clave of Knights Templar of the state
of Oregon will convene at the Ma
sonic hall at 10 a. N. The Grand
Commander of the state of Oregon,
with all the other grand officers and
Sir knights from all over the state,
all in full uniform, will be in attend
ance.
The afternoon of the Gath will be
given to street parades by the
Knights Templars and the Mobiles of
the Mystic Shrine, arrayed in their
gorgeous uniforms and red fezes. 1t
is expected there will lie many anus
ing and interesting features in this
parade. A very large attendance Of
Mobiles is expected
In the evening Hillah Temple of
the Oasis of Ashland, Oregon, will
hold its ceremonial for the reception
of candidates at the aTmory The
head of the Order of Mystic Shrine,
known as the Imperial Potentate,
with members of his diyan, will reach
Ashland on the II o'clock train from
the north and will remain in the city
until Nom Of tho 0Ith
1t is expected the merchants and
citizens of the town will do their part
in making decorations suitable for
the occasion and in making the city
show her appreciation OF these visits
and her welcome to the guests.
Knights Templarism is founded
upon the ancient history of the cru
sades, when the Knights Templars Of
Europe, in full armor, lined the roads
leading unto the city of Jerusalem,
for the purpose of protecting the pill
grims through the Mosem domain in
their pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
1t is an order given to religious
teachings and in which its members
are pledged to the support of the
Christian religion and the practice of
Christian virtue. They hold a gen.
eral conclave once in three years, at
which the Knights Templar from all
over the United States attend. Each
state holds an annual meeting al
some commandery within the state
at which meeting the grand officers
of the state and representatives from
all the Communicates in the state at
tend for the purpose of electing
grand officers for the ensuing year
and the making of bylaws and regu-
lations for such states.
The Mystic Ghrine is probably the
opposite of the Knight Templar or
ganization. 1t seems to be founded
upon the Mohammedan religion. in
which the descert scenes of Africa
and Arabia form a prominent part
1t is sometimes designated as the
playground" and is evidenced by 1o-
viality and good-fellowship.

Martin Identifies
Two Suspects

Steven J. Martin has positively
identified two suspects held in the
city Jail as the men who shot him in
the local Southern Pacific yards a
week ago Saturday night.
Although there was the idontifica-
ton of the long man as the one
Who fired the shot, Chief Portcr and
the Southern Pacific detectives are
proceeding on the theory that Martin
lis in bad and is making a play to
clear his own skirts by placing the
blame upon the two suspects.
When Martin gave out his story
of his trip from Medford on the cir
Gus train he positively stated he had
no conversation or words with the
men on the same car with him; that
he only passed few words with them
before reaching Ashland. When tho
suspects We're taken before him 70"
Identification he disclosed that he
had evidently had a general CONVEX
satiOn with the men while riding on
the train. He told the police the man
who shot him wore a new pair of
shoes, the shoe on the right foot be-
ing split over a large bunion or sore
on the right of the instep The taller
of the two men under arrest has on
very old pair of shoes. His left foot
| is swollen, not the right. Martin
talked to the men, calling their at
| tention to general remarks passed on
! the way up.
Chief Porter says the two men have
apparently established their presence
in the Sweeney camp on the Siski-
yous on the morning of the shoot
ing, and from there southwark. He
does not believe the men in custody
are the guilty ones, regardless of the
positive Identification by Martin.
The officials generally are of the
| opinion that Martin realizes that he
/ had no business on the traiu, and as
/ an eHlplONe Oh tne TdllTOdu lS SuDJeCI
to disciplines for trespassing upon
the train in violation of orders Of
the road to employees.
The police also believe Martin was
more or less under the influence OF
liquor when he left Medford, and is
more or less of a drinking man and
is inclined to be quarrelsome when
drinking. These facts have not been
established, but the police are so
thoroughly convinced that Martin is
not telling them the whole truth they
will investigate every phase of the
case.
In the meantime the railway detec-
tiyes are keeping up their search for
others whom they believe
the true facts.
The two suspects will be taken to
Jacksonville and held to the grand
jury for investigation.

German Attack On Paris
Checked By The Allies
Russians Near Forts

Paris, Sept. THE Germans
right flank has been turned by the
allies, according to telegram from
the war office at Bordeaux. Stimuli
taneously, it is stated, the British
broke through the German lines, i'm
periling the kaiser's entire right wing
and forcing him to withdraw his
troops from Lille and it's vicinity to
strengthen the wing. 1t is believed
the Germans have ceased to march
directly on Paris, having learned that
the allies contemplated a general en-
French were massed there, ready to
entrap the enemy, but German scouts
and aviators discovered the danger.
It is evident the Germans suddenly
changed their program.
Military Governor Gallieni pub
lished the following dispatch from
the war office at Bordeaux: THE
French and British are now engaged
in general action with the Germans
northeast of Paris. The battle lines
extend from Nantouvil to Verdun
via Vitry and La Franceo in the De-
partment of Marne, nineteen miles
southeast of Chalons and at the COM
mencement of the Rhine-Marne ca
nal. The French and British have
compelled the Germans to retire from
the region of Coulommiers, in the
Department of Zine at Marne, on the
Grand Norm river, after two days
fighting which ended Sunday night
The entire French and British lines
are in action and the combat is Wig
orous in the extreme"

Charles ButteYfield
Dies Suddenly

Charles e. Butterfiel, well-known
Ashland boy, died suddenly at the
homestead place of Margaret Lind
say Saturday evening at o'clock.
Although he has been in very con-
valescent condition for many months,
yet the death was unexpected. He
had been staying at the Lindsay
homestead cottage with his mother
during the summer in the hopes of
regaining health. The funeral SER
vices took place at the Lindsay ranch
Sunday. His remains were buried in
that vicinity, among the beautiful
pines that he had loved so well dur
ing life.
Many of the friends he had made
attended the funeral Beautiful
flowers and mountain verdure were
heaped upon the grave. Many Ash
land friends mourn his loss.

Impression OF
Josephine Caves

A representative of the "Pathe
Weekly" people was sent by his
house to make a series of moving
pictures of the Josephine caves dur
ing the past week. Three hundred
feet of film was made by this man,
and he returned to Grants Pass after
completing his work enthusiastic
over the wonderful work of nature
that is making Grayback mountain
famous. 1t is the greatest scenic at
traction in the west, said this pho
tographer, whose business it is to
seek out the strange and the beauti-
full and the interesting in the north
west and photograph it for the mil
lions of patrons of the moving pic
ture theatres of the world. Il could
have made 10000 feet of film within
those caverns and every foot have
been OF interest and marvellous beau
ty," said the photographer. "The
caves are simply great. They greatly
exceeded my expectations, and the
films I have made will attract world
wide attention to them"
This photographer who visited the
caves as a business proposition, and
who can take a coldly businesslike
view of the situation, voices an un-
prejudiced opinion. His visit was
an impersonal one. He expressed
wonder that the caverns had not been
more thoroughly exploited before.
Before tourist travel could be largely
turned toward them, however, he
said it would be necessary to have an
automobile road built to them, and
if it could go to the caves one way
and back the other it would be more
attractive to the tourist.
In these caves Josephine county
and southern Oregon have an asset
that will pay great dividends as soon
as they are properly developed. Time
and money spent in making them
more accessible will be well placed,
and then thousands will stop over t.
visit where hundreds go now. A
good start has been made this season,
and the work must be prosecuted in
an effort to reach the 1915 travel,
which promises to be a record
breaker.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Officials
and diplomats here regarded the
agreement just signed by Great
Britain, France and Russia, not II
make peace except by mutual consent,
as an indication that the war would
be fought to a decisive end. On all
sides the announcement was accepted
as meaning the inevitable prolonga-
tion of the war.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, who have been hoping for
some indication through American
diplomats abroad of readiness on the
part of the powers to talk peace,
were said to have been depressed by
the news.
Colonial Troops Gathered.
Diplomats of the allied powers in
terpreted the agreement as a reason
on the part of Great Britain and
Russia to wage their warfare in every
quarter, irrespective of reverses in
France. From all parts Of the globe
colonial troops are being gathered by
England.
Hope that the gathering strength
of the triple alliance might impress
Turkey with the wisdom OF remain
ing neutral was revived among diplo-
mats, though there was a complete
absence of advices from Constantine
pie.
That the allies had endeavorel
again to convince Turkey OF the ne
cessity of preserving her neutrality
as reflected in London dispatches,
dovetails with recent advices to the
American government.
Delay Produces Hope.
The contest in diplomacy between
Berlin and London has been causing
considerable worry around the
world. In the last few days, it Is

FRENCH CELEBRATING
OVER VICTORIES

Bordeaux, Sept. THE French
are celebrating as victory the Ger
mans failure to attack Paris. The
war office was of the opinion that
the kaiser was only waiting until his
right wing was strengthened. Gen
eral Won Beulow is trying to reach
it with force from Rheims. That
the situation in the fighting at the
front is improving for the allies was
asserted by War Minister Millerand.

London, Sept. Germany is
stalking everything on one mighty
bate. In a solid phalanx $50 miles
long the kaiser is hurling his full
strength against the allies. Driving
to the southwark from Nantenil, Cen
eral Won Kluk's force constitutes
their extreme right wing. General
Won Helingons body forms the eX-
treme left. Five German armies are
between them, all striking desperate
ly at the same spot. Experts declare
it is obvious the kaiser's plan is to
annihilate the allies mobile forces
and that they may divide their own
force, leaving half to besiege and
rushing the other half eastward to
meet the Russians.

Vital Question

A number of Rogue river fruit
growers and ranchers will leave to-

Antwerp, Sept. by flooding the
country southwest of here to prevent
the kaiser's artillery from operating
close to Antwerp's Notifications, the
Belgians drowned many Germans, it
is learned. The country about Ant
werp, as in much of Holland, is be-
low sea level, and the water held
back by dikes. When the gates were
thrown open the sea rushed in so
rapidly the German troops had not
time to escape. Large numbers took
refuge on the house tops and in
trees. Those unable to reach places
of safety perished. The Germans
also lost numbers of cannon. 1t is
estimated that the kaiser's ranks suf-
fered 5000 casualties at Termonde
Friday and Saturday.

President Sproule
Goes North Sunday

President Sproule of the Southern
Pacific passed through Ashland Sun
day on a northern tour of inspection.
He thinks next year will be the ban
ner tourist year for the coast coun-
try, and that Ashland will be FORUM
ate indeed If she succeeds in getting
her resort ready for the traffic next
season. Wealthy easterners who
have heretofore gone to Europe will
be turned by the war toward the
coast in great numbers, and the west
should reap a greater harvest from
them than ever before.
