GERMAN ADVANCE
HAS SLACKENED
Russians Are Stubbornly Re-
sisting All Along Line;
Fighting Is Severe
BY Associated Press

London, Sept. "a, 1916 p. m.-Mili-
tary activities on the eastern front are
once more assuming the familiar
lowing the recent impetuous rush of
the invaders. The German plan of
dividing the Russian armies north and
south of the Pripet has been a strate-
gic success in a way, but the imme-
diate effect of the severance was to
throw an increased burden on the
Austrians, who seem unable to check
the Russian drive.
Unofficial dispatches from Petro-
grad state that the latest Russian vic
tory, northwest of Dubno is of more
Importance than was revealed by the
official communication from Petro-
grad, involving recapture of the fort
ress of Lutsk, northwest of Grodno.
Relinquishing of this fortress the Aus
trians are said to have retired across
the Styr.
All the way from the Baltic port of
Riga to the Pripet marshes the Rus
slams are holding their line stubbornly
in an attempt to bring their long re-
tirement to an end The fighting is
particularly severe southeast of Wilma
and east of Dvinsk. development of
the Wilma army having failed, it is as
sumed the Germans will develop their
offensive movement at Dvinsk. with
the view of an ultimate blow at Riga.
1t is generally believed the Germans
have determined to capture Riga be-
fore the onset of winter.
The French War Office this after
noon gave out a statement on the pro-
gress of hostilities reading:
"An artillery battle progressed dur
ing the night in the region of Arras.
Our batteries seriously damaged the
enemy's organization at several points.
"a strong German patrol which
seized one of our underground listen
ing positions in the sector of Breten-
court was dispersed by our fire"

respondence, lis unbelievable. 1t is
nothing more or less than the ami
hilation of the whole people"
A letter from the Constantinople
source says that Armenians in all the
cities and villages of the province of
Cilicia have been deported en- masse
TO the desert regions south of Alepho.
'Moslems have occupied the lands
and houses abandoned by the Ar
menians," the letter reads.
The deported are not allowed to
carry with them anything. They have
to travel on foot distances requiring
q month or two of walking in order
to arrive at the desert assigned for
their habitation. where they will find
no houses, no work. no livelihood, but
their graves.
THE villages in the vilayets of Van
and Bitlis have been pillaged and the
populations put to the sword. All the
Armenians of Kara-Hisar have been
massacred except a few children who
escaped by a miracle"

Accomplished Won
ders in Ten Days

The twenty-third annual session OF
the Southern Oregon Chautauqua
closed Friday evening with "The
Great American Circus" OF all the
most excellent numbers on this sea-
sons program this was by far the
best crowded house greeted the
opening number and applauded al
most continuously during the success
sion of drills, games, dancing and
acrobatic work There were nineteen
numbers, five OF which were given by
Prof. Larimore and his two assist
ants. The remainder were various
stunts and drills put on by the vari-
Gus classes. The acrobatic work Of
Mr.. Larlmore and the two young men
who are with him excelled anything
which has ever been seen in that line
in Ashland. Some of the stunts
which the trio did are exclusive fea-
lures which only one troup of profess
sionals in the United States carry in
their repertoire
Over two hundred boys and girls,
from little tots. Of three to high school
girls and hoys, were included in Prof.
Larimore's classes, and II is needless
to say that each and every one wor-
ship their instructor as the ball fans
OF New York worship Christy
Mathewson.
The results which Mr.. Larimore
has accomplished during his ten days
stay here were amply exemplified Fri
day evening in the stunts drills and
dances. Wonderful" is too weak n
word to describe the results of the
work of the king of physical instruct
ors and prince Of good fellows. To
adequately describe each of the fea-
lures would require more space and
more eloquence than TINS paper can
afford. The folk dances were prob
ably the prettiest features Of the pro-
gram. Each and all OF the little par
Elephants deserves personal mention.
The training which has been given
the children OF Ashland by Mr.. Lari-
more will have a lasting effect. Many
were taught to swim, and it is to be
hoped that the parents Of every boy
and girl will see that ample oppor-
tunity is afforded the children to con-
tinue the exercises and swimming.
Not only the young people but the
parents of Ashland wait the return
of Prof. Larimore next year. 1t Is to
be hoped that We can get him for a
longer stay.

carried their own bands and played
on the depot platform while here.
OF all the trains, that of Lu Lu

haps the most attention. Lu Lu is
the Philadelphia Shrine. The special
train cost $4,000 and was in so

Park Entrances
Portland Visitor

B. w. Richards of the firm of Ger
linger G. Richards of Portland and
George II. Smitton, general freight
agent of the Great Northern railway,
with headquarters at Portland, to-
gether with their wives, stopped off
for two days in Ashland last week
while en- route from the exposition
in the formers automobile.
Mr.. Smitton called at this office
before leaving, saying that the party
felt that they could not leave Ash
land without telling of the impress
sions which Ashland had made upon
them. Mr.. Smitton said: "You have
here the most beautiful natural park
on the coast if not in the entire coun-
try, and are proceeding along the
right lines in your wonderful devel-
opment work. Ashland is my ideal
of a place TO live and certainly envy
you who live here" Mr.. Smitton has
had extensive railroad experience and
in the course of his work has made
a complete investigation of the tourist
traffic. Here in Ashland he sees
resort city which has the attractions
to draw the entire tourist traffic
which comes to the coast. One of his
remarks. was that all that we lacked
was a good hotel and that there was
an opportunity here FOR a man to
build hotel and become million
aire in few years.
The party spent practically all of
their two days here in rambling
through the park and over the ad-
jacent hills. "We are sure coming
back" were their last words.
