GrOdnO Made Untenable ROr
Russians When TeutOns
Capture Railway.
HINDENBURG NO PROGRESS
British Sink Four Turkish
Transports in Dardanelles
Is the Report.

London, Sept. 3.-An Amsterdam
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company says it is reported that Ad-
miral Won Tripitz, the German min
lister of marine, will resign and will
be succeeded by Admire Won Pohl,
now chief of the admiralty staff and
commander of the German battle
fleet.
Except in the region of Riga,
where the Russians are presenting q
solid front to Won Hindenburg, the
Austro-German offensive again is
making Roadway and the Russian
troops have resumed their four
months retreat. Grodno's western
forts were evacuated after two were
destroyed by the heavy guns and
stormed by the German infantry,
and it is considered extremely likely
that the whole fortress already has
been left to its fate, for it was no,
longer tenable after the Germans
had crossed the Grodno-Vilna rail-,
way, which they did at two points,
end had penetrated the forest of
Bieloviezh, to the southeast of the
town. ~
Wilma, doubtless, will be the next
object of the Austro-German ON
this front.
~ In the southeast Vienna reports a
series of successes, which virtually
have driven the Russians out Of Ca
licia; they now hold only anarrow
strip between the Sereth river and
Bessarabia. Across the border in
the latter province, the Austrians
state. the Russians set fire to villages,
which might indicate further re-
treat. Thus the hopes raised in the
allied countries by the recent success
es that Russia at least was making a
stand have been dissipated.
Everywhere the Austro.G Germans
claim to be advancing. but they have
not captured of late any great num-
Der of men or guns. The Russian
guns have been kept well behind the
infantry and are quickly moved back
when the rear guards are unable,
longer to hold off the invaders.
On the western front the Germans
claim to have recovered trenches lost
in August in the Vosges, while the
French refer only to artillery engage
ments, which have been the feature
of the last nine days, with no su9-
gestion of what they foreshadow.
Increased activity at the Darda--
nelles is shown 10 official reports.

Appearances are deceptive with re-
gard 20 Umatilla county's grain crop
this year. Notably Ia this true In the
Pilot Rock district. where seen from
the road a field OF wheat looks good
for forty bushels to the acre. y
stands well and has q rich yellow
color, but when entered the heads are
found TO be fun OF shriveled berries.
Barley around the Rock Is much bet
ter than wheat. that being good
barley district.
Favorable weather for the past
week or 30 has helped mature the
Weston crop without further injury
and the wheat is much better than on
the lighter lands. II not only looks
good from the road. but Is good. This
Il true except In isolated instances oi
burning. The yield will probably run
from 30 to 10 bushels per acre. i
would have been 10 bushels more had
not the hot wave struck the grain al
a critical time.
Barley Is also said TO have suffered
some damage in this locality. One
small crop has been threshed north
of town and made an extra good yield
but as 1t was seeded last December
and beat out the hot weather. Il
cannot be taken as a criterion fol
