Case, Reported Very iii.

Breaking down in the midst of his
arguments, which closed the murder
trial of Khair Din on Monday after
noon, James Callum, noted criminal
lawyer of San Diego, is in a pitiable
at his coast home, accord
ing to work received here today
While the breakdown is more or
less physical, the friends of the at
torney fear that his mentality may be
affected. 1t was pointed out that
sartling indications of his were shown
in his appearance before he court
here.
In his closing argument for the
life of the alleged Hindu murderer
he spent several minutes in discus
sion of the transmigration of souls
and the final section of his talk in
reciting poetry that had no possible
bearing on the case.
Mr.. Callum was taken back to San
Diego in the care of two friends. He
is one of the best known attorneys
in Southern California. For fourteen
years he was attorney for the Santa
Fe railroad and in the past few
years has earned a reputation as

Washington, Oct. 9.-Following is
the text Of the reply of the president
to the latest peace proposals of Ger
many, made through Switzerland. The
reply was handed to the charge of
the Swiss legation here this afternoon,
for transmission:
"Sir: l have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the president, your
note of October 6, enclosing the COM
munication from the German govern
ment to the president; and l am in
structed by the president to request
you to make the following commune
cation to the Imperial German chan
cellor.
Before making reply to the request
of the Imperial German government
and in order that that reply shall be
candid and straightforward, as the mo-
mentous interests involved require,
the President of the United States
deems it necessary to assure himself
of the exact meaning of the note of
the Imperial Chancellor. Does the
Imperial Chancellor mean that the
imperial German government accepts
the terms laid down by the president
in his address to the Congress of the
United States on the 9Th of January

last, and in subsequent addresses and
that its object in entering into dis
cussions would be only to agree up
on the practical details of their ap-
plication?
"The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose cessation Of arms
to the governments with which the
government of the United States is
associated against the Central Pow
ers, so long as the armies of those
powers are upon their soil. The good
faith Of any discussion would mani
festly depend upon the consent Of the
Central Powers Immediately to with
draw their forces everywhere from
invaded territory.
"The President also feels that he is
justified in asking whether the I'M
perial Chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities Of the
empire whe have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point of
view.
"Accept, Sir, the renewed assuran-
ces Of my highest consideration.

(Ry Associated Pressl

Iondon Oct. 9.-The British have
captured Cambria. Eight Thousand
Germans were taken in the fighting
Yesterday, in which the English and
Americans participated. The attack
was resumed today along the entire
front south Of Cambrai and progress
;s beinp made. Additional progress
was made last night east Of Seque-
hart and toward Bohain and Maretz.
The English have captured Foren-
Vile and have reached the western
outskirts of Walincourt.
The Hindenburg line no longer pars
the path of the Allies. A defin1te
rupture was achieved during the flrst
day of fighting in a new development
north of Escaut. The Anglo-SaXon
forces had the honor of storming the
last remnants of the extraordinary
m,za of defenses between Cambral
and St. Quentin. The days fighting
is notable also in that the enemy
losses must have reached tens Oh
thousands and strategic objects were
attained by the Allies also. The Al
lies are now threatening Bohain, the
possession of which will enable them
70 take in the rear St. Gobain Massif
and the Hindenburg line along the
River Serre.
The British and Americans contln-
nod their progress of Tuesday IN
heavy fighting last night on the
Cambrai-St. Quentin front. Aided by
a heavy protective fire the British
artillery defeated the enemy and al
most smothered him under great
deluge of steel and explosives. Inc
Americans captured two complete en-
emy field batteries and a battery OF
heavy artillery when they suddenly
outflanked, both ends of the valley
south of Fremont.
The Allies captured 10000 Teutons
in the fighting on the various fronts
Yesterday, according to the Echo De
Paris. It is said that the: Germans
are hurriedly evacuating the Argonne
forest. The French captured German
defenses last night between Harry
and Neuville-St Amand, and drove
past the latter town. In the fight
ing south and east of st. Quentin
the military critic of the Temps says
the German armies are at the end OF
their strength, but the German high
command is hoping to save them.
An armistice would allow them to
withdraw, reorganize their ranks and
prepare for the moment "when eBr-
lin would denounce the Allies cOndi-
tions as impossible"
General Pershing said the French
and Americans were steadily driving
the enemy from the scene of the
desperate struggles for Verdun. He
announced an advance on both sides
of the Meuse and the capture of 5000
prisoners. Cornay was captured aft
er stubborn fighting.
Haggard and nearly famished, the
men of the "lost" battalion rescued
Monday after they had been surround
ed for more than four days in the Ar
gonen forest, are recovering from
their experience. They subsisted part
ly on oak leaves and we're so deplted
by weakness that wounded men took
turns at guard duty, yet they cheered
as the drove back the German forces
surrounding them. When they reached
the American lines they were white
and exhausted, but were infinitely
proud of their gallant stand.

among the American expeditionary
forces thus far reported by General
Pershing, including Saturdays list, to-
tai 1915, the war department announc-
ed today in making public the first of
regular weekly summaries of casual
ties. Deaths in action and from
wounds, disease, accidents and all 9th
er causes number 1927, while 4046 men

While no official explanation was
given for the decision of the depart

Strong Lumber Market
and Shipments Heavy

Buying is brisk, shipments are heavy
stocks are low and the market is firm
This is the condition among the lum
Der manufacturers of western Oregon
and western Washington as reflected in
the weekly barometer of the West Coast
Lumbermen s Association.
Probably the most significant element
in the situation is the apparent short
age of stocks. While the government
demands have kept the mills, short OF
the upper grades for almost a year, il
has not ben until recently that the
shortage made itself felt in commons
An Informal gathering of representa-
tive lumbermen at Tacoma few days
ago revealed that many mills are well
sold out. The yard congestion from
which they suffered early in the Spring
has almost entirely disappeared.
fhe short supply is accentuated by
the continued heavy demand by retail
buyers, who, apparently, are rushing in
to the market to avoid the increased
