RETREAT DUE TO PRESSURE Arm jr Officer Say Enemy Lacks Re terTes 10 Make Stand on Extended Front. WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. While the German retirement In Belgium has glit- terlnr Dosslbilities. military it- rnrrcrt to the conclusion what is in progress is a well-ordered and executed -withdrawal, probably upon prepared positions. The fact that reports from other por tions of the front, notably from the Lille area and the sector southeast of Laon. also tell of retirements. lives the movement Indications of a general withdrawal, but as yet no official in , formation has come to Indicate where the line upon which the enemy will at tempt to vtand has been established. . Army officials can take no notice of the numerous reports of an impending complete capitulation in seeking the explanation of the German maneuvers In the field. They can ascribe those operations to very definite and well developed plans of the German general ataff. ! e Dae te Frrumwrr. It was said tonight that the enemy probably had begun the second phase of the withdrawal he had been com-1 nelled to undertake as a result of un wavering pressure by Marshal Foch all along the battle line. Lacking the re serves with which to make a stand on an extended front, it is to be assumed that he is falling back to a much short aned line, where he can show greatc resisting power. There is reason to believe, however. that under the hammering of the allied and American armies the German high command has been compelled to make a comDromise. Instead of holdlnar to the front lines until the new front was In complete readiness, it Is regarded probable that the advanced positions are being aoan doned barely In time to avoid encircle ment and the retirement being made to defenses not fully equipped. The genius of the German general staff is plainly shown, officers say. in the skill with which the withdrawal has been conducted thus far. which is till well ordered. Belgian yituatloa Obscured. The situation in the Belgian contour la hasy In many respects, however, due to the swiftly changing nature of the lines. The reports showing that the-French were making good progress in clear ing up the Oise-Serre pocket, southeast of Laon. attracted particular attention here. This narrow point of high ground between the two rivers, guarded by wide, marshy water lines on both fronts, has appeared to be the bastion on which the enemy resistance in the center rested. It has been regarded as incapable of retention for any great length of time. as it is subject to a three-sided bom bardment by heavy guns that eventu ally would force Its evacuation. The enemy made this sector, however, a part of the Hunding line, and has been employing it to hold up the general ad vance in the center. The collapse of this position presum ably means a rapid straightening of the whole center of the front. At the wings of this vital part of the line American troops northwest of Verdun and Anglo-American forces at Le Cha teau are hammering ahead toward the main communication lines that support the whole enemy framework. Fierce FightiBg Kxplalned. This probably accounts for the stub born resistance on both wings as com pared with that encountered elsewhere. It was said. The freeing of the Belgian coaRt will have little direct effect on the sub marine situation, but may be of the greatest indirect -value in furnishing the allied forces with new bases from which to operate antt-submarine patrols. The German U-boat flotillas on the Flanders coast have been a thing of the past ever since the harbors were blocked by the British naval forces. fered Tuesday evening.

BRIDGE REVENUE REDUCED Influenza Has Decided Effect on InterMate Traffic. VANCOUVER. Wash- Oct. 1. (Spe cial. Columbia Kiver Interstate bridire revenues have -fallen off as result of Spanish influenza. On Wednes day, when the heavy rain fell, tho tolls were the smallest for a day since last May.' The soldiers, until last evening, were not permitted to go to Portland, and this caused a loss of streetcar traffic as well as bridge tolls. Soldiers now may go to Portland provided they do not use the streetcars. Military police are sent over daily to see that the soldiers avoid crowds. The Jitneys now are doing a thriving business. Ixws Stringent Measures Than Install' ment of Modern. Fixtures Asked by 4 0 Artisans. Affected. Hundreds of shipbuilders in the St. Johns district may be forced to leave the city If .the City Health Officer's order for the installation of modern plumbing fixtures in every house be enforced, according to a protest signed by about 4U shipworkers filed in the City Auditor's office yesterday. The petition asks the council to instruct the Health Officer to advise less strin gent measures because of the present emergency. Because of the fact that there are no vacant houses in the vicinity, hun dreds of industrial workers have been forced to put up tenthouses and tempo rary dwellings," says the communica- ion. "To people of moderate circum stances this has represented a consid erable outlay greater than cost of renting a house for a year or two. These people have suffered many minor Inconveniences and deprivations. which are being cheerfully endured be cause they recognize the difficulties of the situation, ltecently they have been served with an order hjy Health Officer Farrlsh that they must install modern plumbing devices within ten days. Temporary facilities are not de sirable, but may be rendered innocu ous. We believe overzealous en forcement of the ordinance at this time to be inept." SALEM MAN DIES IN CAMP Fred A.

Albert and other German agents to prevent the manufacture and shipment of muni tions to the allies were made today by the alien property custodian, A. Mitch ell Palmer. He revealed the workings of the Chemical Exchange Association, or ranizsd bv Dr. Huco Schweitzer in 1916. to buy up all available carbolio acid lit America and prevent its use in the manufacture of trinitrotoloul and other high explosives by converting it into harmless pharmaceautical products. The story of the Chemical Exchange Association, Mr. Palmer said, was un earthed by Francis P. Garvin, director of the bureau ( of investigation. He found that Dr. Albert and Count von Bernstorff arranged with Dr. Hugo Schweitzer, a naturalized American and chemist of the Bayer Company, to carry out plans which would prevent the shipment of. carbolio acid to the allies and to American munitions man ufacturers making high explosives for them. Chemical Concerns Involved. The Heyden Chemical Works, of 135 Wiiliams street. New York, and the Bayer Company, of 117 Hudson street, New York, both of which have been taken over by Mr. Palmer, were the chemical concerns through which Dr. Schweitzer arranged to carry out hi plans, according to the enemy property custodian. In 1915." said Mr. Palmer. "Thomas A. Edison Invented a synthetic carbolic acid of which the American Oil & Sup ply Company, of Newark, became the selling agent. Comparatively little carbolic acid was purchasable at this time. Dr. Schweitzer Immediately set out to control this supply, and on June 22, 1915, entered into a contract with the American Supply Company whereby this company agreed to ship six thous and pounds of carbolic acid each work- In; day from July 1, 1915, to December 31, 1915, and four thousand pounds each working day from January 1, 1916. to March 31. 1916, at a price nearly double the usual market price. Big Security Put Up. "Dr. Schweitzer put up $100,000 in cash, which was furnished by Dr. Al bert, as security for performance of this contract, and a 125,000 surety bond, "To obviate doing business in his own name, Schweitzer organizea tne Lliemi cal Exchange Association. This asso ciation was a co-partnership, compris ing Dr. fcchweitxer and Richard Any, father-in-law of George Simon, busi ness manager of the Heyden Chemical Works. 'Muller, Schall & Co., of 43 William street. New York, were the sale agents for Dr. Schweitzer. "Every effort was made by bcnweit r and Kny to keep their contract secret and to prevent the American people from knowing that Dr. Albert and the German government were be hind this contract. 'In the meantime the American Oil & Supply Company delivered large quantities of carbolic acid to the Hey den Chemical Works, which was con-' verted into harmless pharmaceutical preparations and sold. 'The net profit on tnis aeai was $816,000, which Richard Kny told Mr. Garvan was divided equally between himself and Dr. Schweitzer. Imperial Money Traced. The investigation showed that on June 23, 1915, the day after Schweitzer entered into his contract with the American Oil & Supply Company, G. Amsinck & Co., bankers, wrote Dr Albert stating that they had received mperial German government certifi cates, dated January l, tit, as coi- ateral for whioh they placed at the disposal of Dr. Albert a drawing ac- count of J3C0.0OO. G. A. Amsinck & Co., acting upon the instructions of Dr. Albert, gave their check to Dr. Schweitzer for $100, 000, which they charged to the account of Dr. Albert. This was the $100,000 which Schweitzer posted as a forfeit with the American Oil & Supply Com nanv. guaranteeing the fulfillment of his contract." To celebrate the success of the scheme Dr. Palmer said Dr. Schweitzer and Richard Kny gave a dinner to Dr. Albert at the Hotel Astor in New York in the latter part of 1916 and presented him with a loving cup. Captain Wolf von Igcl, of the Ger man embassy, was among the guests. quarters in Liberty Temple, the com mittee in charge of Portland's housing survey is now seeking volunteers to assist in tabulating the- data secured, and soldiers in the offices of the Spruce Division have been given, an opportun ity to volunteer their services in han dling the work. With the exception of but one or two precincts, all canvassers have finished their work, according to Chairman C. C. Colt, and the cards have been returned in an especially satisfactory condition. Few altera tions have been found necessary. The survey, while interfered with by the influenza epidemic and unfavorable weather, proved to be all that members of the committee had desired. Every vacant dwelling, apartment and room in the city of Portland is listed with the Permanent Placement Bureau, and as soon as the tabulation is completed the data will be available for those in need of accommodations.

The internal revenue department of the United States Treasury has taken action, as the result of the large amount of grapes being shipped into the state of Oregon for the past few months. As a result of the Government probe startling disclosures are expected. Offi cials of the department say that eigh prominent . Oregon men now are California and have been there for some time contracting with vineyard owners for 800 tons of grapes at 1 80 ton. If an effort is made to ship the grapes to Oregon it is probable that indictments may follow charging the consignor and consignee not ouly with violation of the prohibiwon law, but wnn an anempL iu aeir&ua ma unneu States Internal Revenue Department It is said that the names of several of these men are already in the hands of the United States Treasury Department and several other men are under cus picion. It has been known to the depart ment and the police, they say, that numerous Italians have manufactured small amount of wine for their own consumption. Where no direct viola tion of the statute has been found it has always been the tendency of the department to deal leniently with offenders. However, the wholesale scale in which recent offenders have been engaged in making wine has at tracted the attention of the Govern ment and it is probable that drastic action will be taken In an effort to abate the evil. - DESERTER TO BE TRIED Douglas County Finn Says Ho Left Camp to See Father Who Was III.
