Plans are Tinder" way for tho formal opening? of the Interstate Bridge, link ing Oregon and "Washington at Van couver, and a celebration worthy of the event is expected to be held about Oc tober 31. A committee was named yesterday by the Chamber of Commerce to ar range all preliminaries. This commit tee will represent the Chamber in the demonstration and probably will take the lead In preparing for that event. On the list of committee members ap pear the names of many citizens who were prominent in supporting the plan lor the construction of the bridge now nearing completion. Frank B. Riley Is Chairman. Members of the committee are: Frank Branch Riley, chairman; Julius L. Meier, J. H. Nolta, Rufus C. Jfolnian, W. L. Boise, F. A. Freeman, Kdsar B. Piper. W. O. Feenaughty, T. J. Cleeton. Charles F.

Yeon and Albert button. An attempt wiirbe made by the com mittee to join the forces of Oregon and Washington, so as to make the celebra tion a joint one, participated In by both commonwealths, since both are to chare in the benefits resulting from the opening of the new structure. About September 1 the executive committee will meet with a similar or ganization from the Vancouver Cham ber of Commerce to outline the cele bration. Then the larger committees will be put to work and the details will be carried out. Other Bodies Are Welcomed. It Is probable that other Portland organizations will want to share in the celebration, and In that event, each participating club will be welcomed. The opening of the new bridge is ex pected to mean much to Portland from a commercial standpoint, as well as to Vancouver and Clarke County. It Is not only one of the longest bridges in America, but It is to afford for the first time a crossing of the lower Co lumbia River without the use of the ferry. By means of this crossing of the stream, farmers and producers from the Southwest Washington country can reach Portland at a minimum loss of time or inconvenience. diers in Hawaii . who successfully passed the preliminary examinations for appointment as second lieutenant In the United States Army. .

French Office Declares Oflewrr Is B tin sr Carried Oat With Precision Li- . aud Minimum Loasw LONDON, Aug. 17. Six determined German counter attacks on the Brit ish trenches northwest of - Pozieres 'were repulsed with heavy losses to the attackers, according to the official statement issued by the War Office to night. Northwest of Bazentln the Brit ish captured about 100 yards of Ger man trenches. PARIS. Ang. 17. The operations on the Somme yesterday were merely a detail of the offensive and of only lo cal bearing, a high military officer explained today. Significance is de rived from the fact that the Germans did not counter attack as usual. Never before have they failed to react when successfully attacked, and their fail ure to do so In this case is either a Mgn of weakness or. more likely, be cause of confusion of orders. , The precision with which the French offensive has been carried out is shown ny tne fact that every objective de signated In advance of an action has been reached. At Maurepas a certain number of houses were selected and every one of them was capturd and occupied. One consequence of this precision in tne French operations is the reduc tion of losses to a minimum. The oper- ntions n Artois and in Champagne cost five times more than all the ground gained on the Somme. The purpose is to destroy the German forces and the Franco-British defensive also has Accomplished the feat of holding on the western front the greatest pos slble portion of the German forces. It is fallacious to figure out the probable duration of hostilities on French soil by computing the average surface of ground gained per day. Every time an action takes place, even though the gain may be no more than 100 yards or so, the opposition is beaten. He loses heavily and the weakening moral eirect cannot be measured i yards. It is a cumulative effect which sooner or later will wear the enemy down so that he will be unable to bold the French gains to a few hun tired yards.

V SCESE FROM ClVItIZATIOX," THE BIG I.CE ANTI-WAR SPECTACLE. Today is the day. Twelve o'cloc k, high noon, is the hour. At exactly 12 o'clock 40 balloons, each bearing an invitation from The Oregonian entitling the bearer to two tickets for "Civilization," the wonderful cinema drama which opens at the Hetlig Theater to morrow, will be released from the roof of the Heillg Theater building. Then will come the grand scramble for the coveted invitations. Coveted because critics declare that "Civilization" surpasses In many respects "The Birth of a Nation," and surely that great spectacle is worth seeing, not only once, but several times. So 80 persons will be guests of The Oregonian at the Heilig some afternoon or evening during the next two weeks. The method of pro cedure is this: First trap a balloon one of the 40 then secure the in vitation. Next comes a trip to the Heilig Theater box office, where the Invitation may be exchanged for two seats, rjood for any perform ance during the first two weeks' engagement of the film. Then comes the hours of enjoyment ten reels of spectacular action, a prologue of two acta requiring the presence of more than GO living players, and all accompanied by specially composed music. drawn the money from various Port land banks yesterday ivlth the inten tion of leaving for the East. Slavkovich says he met the men Wednesday night and that they promised to find him work In Portland. They went to his house by appoint ment yesterday, and the three went to the strangers' room in a Washington- street hotel. All took off their coats and played cards. Each of the strang ers donned his coat after an hour or so and left the room for a few minutes. The men returned, took off their coats again, and the card game continued, al though they were not playing for stakes.

Slavkovich is unable to speak English and talked to the police with the aid of J. Christ, a grocer at Fourteenth and Marshal streets. DIVE KILLS EX-SENATOR David S.
