SAYS THEY WILL WIN.
Puter Declares His Belief the Squat
ters VIII Be Recognized,

People are continually asking me
about grant lands and the chances
squatters have for securing the tracts
/ selected for them" observed S. A.
D. Puter, well known to fame for his
connection with Oregon land fraud
cases few years ago, and for which
he paid the laws penalty, says the
Eugene Register. At the time Puter
made his observation he was pouring
over a book in the county clerks Of
flee. He worked assiduously all yes
terday afternoon, listing the names of
those who have filed on the Oregon
and California land grant, for which
they proffer the company the stipulat-
ed price of $3.50 per acre. Puter
made another notation with his pen
ell, then paused and assumed a rumi-
mating abstraction. Il can tell them, 8"
he resumed, that l don't know, but
1 have every reason to believe that
they will win out. l am pretty sure
that the farming and grazing lands
will be opened to entry"

NO VIOLATION, SAYS GERMANY
Country Agrees TO Pay Damages fol
Sinking of Steamer Frye.

Washington dispatches on the
fourth of the month say that Germany
is to be unyielding in her refusal to
concede that the sinking of the Amer
lean sailing ship William P. Frye by
the auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich in the South Atlantic last
January was a violation of American
rights under the Prussian- American
treaty or of international law. How
ever, Germany again declares her will
lingness to pay for the ship, and ac-
cepts a proposal first advanced by
the United States-that the amount of
damages be fixed by two experts, one
to be selected by each country. Such
a sum the German government pledg-
es itself to pay promptly, with the
stipulation, however, that the pay
ment shall not be viewed as a salts
faction for violation of American
rights. Should that method be un-
satisfactory, Germany invites the Uni
ted States to arbitration at The Hague.

Annual Picnic.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary
society of the Methodist church held
its annual picnic at the city park on
Wednesday. The day was ideal. and
was greatly enjoyed by more than one
hundred members and guests. A boun-
tiful dinner was served in the shade
of the grand old trees, by the ladies,
after which the society held its regu-
lar business session and monthly
meeting. Mrs. George II. Bennett,
the president, conducted a very in
teresting discussion of the topic:
"Glimpses of Missionary Life" This
was followed by a short program in
which Master Dan Quick and Paul
Bollman gave neat little recitations.
also Mildred Berg and Pauline Mil
Ter. Evelyn Bennett sang a song, The
Lost Mite Boxes" Mrs. W. P. Miller
gave a pleasing select reading. and
then the mite boxes were opened and
eight dollars was reported for the
work of the society. The annual cleo
tion of officers will be held at the
September meeting.

GERMANS GET WARSAW
RUSSIANS FIGHT STUBBORNLY
TILL ARMY is SAFE.
Supposed Garrison Surrenders While
Russians Make Orderly Retreat
to New Position.

Yesterdays press dispatches pro
| claim the downfall of Warsaw. Al
official statement from the German
war office yesterday announced thai
the Germans had entered the Polish
| capital.
The Russian garrison, it was an
nounced, retired over the three bridg-
es spanning the Vistula to the eastern
suburb of Praga after Offering briei
resistance to the Teutonic forces.
The Bavarian troops under Prince
Leopold stormed the last line of de-
! fenses and entered the city over the
Kolish and Radon roads.
| From Praga the Russian center is
retiring along the railway leading to
Novo Minsh and over the plain of the
northern railway, keeping in touch
with the right wing near Novo
Georgiewisk.
The German forces pursuing the re-
treating Slavs captured many strag-
glers.
Rumors of the capture of Warsaw
were circulated early today before Of
fetal announcement of the fact was
made. Berlin then began prepara-
tions for a celebration, and with the
publication of extra editions of papers
announcing the fall of the city, bells
were tolled and the capital gave itself
over to general rejoicing.
The official statement from the war
office gave no details of the final en-
gagement at the gates of Warsaw, or
of the greater battle on the wings in
which the Germans sought to envel-
op the Slav forces
That the struggle before the last de-
fenses of the city was short and fierce
is evidenced by the fact that Prince
Leopold arrived before the outer
works of Warsaw only a day and a
half ago. The Russians were holding
line running through Blonie, 13
miles from the city. With the open
ing of the Bavarian assault they fell
back to the last lines in front of the
city and finally were driven out en-
tirely.
1t is believed that greater part
of the Russian garrison which re-
manned in Warsaw to the last was
captured. No specific mention is made
of the success of the pursuit of the
remainder which escaped, and it is
assumed that the Slavs either Destroy
ed the Vistula bridges or attempted
to destroy them after withdrawing in
order to delay the pursuit of the Teu-
tons.
The first Germans entered the city
Wednesday. Simultaneously general
assaults were begun along the Narew
river to Ostrolenka and against the
Russian positions before the Bug. A
great battle is now raging in this re-
gion.

There are also persons who are dis
posed to regard conversation as an
endurance test.
Man is a versatile cuss, but he
doesn't do much toward promoting
the hunger strike.

worm when il comes to destroying
ones usefulness.
