Column One I Wage Advance Will Be Given To Workers in The Shipyards Demand for Dollar an Hour Not to Be Granted, However, According to Word. Washington, Aug. 28. (U. P.) Skilled workmen 'In the shipyards of the United ! States will be granted an increase In wages, it was learned authoritatively here today. Demands for a country wide standard -wage of $1 an hour, however, will not be met. Announcement of the advance and the , amount will be made probably on Labor ; day. j As a result of the conference with the president last night the shipping board labor adjustment committee has worked out a waE scale which, it was said, wouid be accepted by the union leaders. None of them would divulge the nature of tne agreement, howeVer. The present wage controversy while originating among Pacific coast wock- men. now includes all ship yards. Pre- vlous decisions of the labor committee would indicate that four separate wage schedules would be established in rals- ing the pay "generally. Because of the variance in living cunuuions anu cobis, different wage scales likely will be made for the Pacific coast. Great Lakes, Dela ware and New England and the Gulf coast yards. Officials intimated the announcement of the committee's decision would be the signal for celebrations in all ship yards. Production of America's ship building plants will be well on its way to the four million pf tonnage on Labor day and It la proposed to use the combina tion of circumstances to spread enthus iasm among the workers.

An extra telling of the capture of Chaulnes, the important key point in the Germans' southern line of the Somme battlefront. was on the streets of Portland at 8:4 5 Sunday morning. Thousands of copies were sold immediately and other thousands of copies were bought eagerly by churchgoers when they appeared on their way to morning worship. , "The extra gave readers of the Oregonian an entire page of up-to-the-rainute news telling of the progress of the great allied offensive, all of which had developed since regular morning editions had come off the presses.

How to make every third person In Portland the owner of a Liberty bond of the fourth lBsue will be the principal matter of discussion at the meeting of the Portland campaign executive com mittee. Emery Olmstead, chairman of this group of 25, has set the meeting for 4 o'clock today at the Liberty temple. Portland's quota Is usually about half the state quota. With state quota for the next loan approaching $40,006,000, Portland will raise about 120.000,000. Sixty-seven thousand people of this city bought bonds of the last loan. Mr. Olmstead says that in keeping with the deuire to havo more individuals owning bonds, the committee here will work to have a third of the population subscribe. Portland Is Eager Were it not for Portland's reputation when money is needed for Uncle Sara, this task might seem great," said Mr. Olmstead. "By that I do not mean that raising such a sum will mean little to Portland's citizens, for that Is In no way the sense of the campaign. How ever, in each of the glorious . oppor tunities which: have been t successfully accepted, Portland made wonderful rec ords and because of our faith In every man who works within Its gates,', we are. going to make this campaign one of bringing as forcefully, as we know how. the message of the drive to each one.

The irresistible force of., the allied offensive on the western front was revealed today when General Peyton C. March, chief of staff, 'announced at - his mid-week conference with representatives of the press that the onrushing forces had captured 112, 000 prisoners and 1300 guns since July 1. In the latter number. Gen eral March said, pieces smaller than field guns were not included. "When I spoke to you last Satur day the British drive on the front between the Scarpe and the Somme was carrying the allied lines for ward over the' hilly planes- east of Albert," said General March. The allies advanced Saturday and Sun day, in spite of more or less de termined resistance by the enemy. "On Monday the British captured the heights east of Arras known as Orange hill, and on Tuesday con tinued along the Arras-Cambrai road to a depth of five miles. This ad vance of the British overran the so called Hindenburg line a distance of ' one mile on a front pf three miles. "On Monday the pressure by the British spread along a front of 40 miles, down to the junction with the French line. In'the meantime,-the' French be gan a new offensive opposite Roye on a 10-mile front, and went for ward a distance of two miles.

(7 A. M) (I. N. S.) Scot tish units north of the Scarpe have captured Fon tains Les Croisilles, thus carrying the British line to the farthest eastern point ever reached. The British troops marked the eighth day of their whirlwind offensive by continuing to buck the enemy line with such vigor that they have forced the Huns to retreat in disorder and with heavy losses at many places, especially between the Sensee and Scarpe rivers. Between these two rivers the British have penetrated the German lines at several points. At the northern end of the batJefront the Canadians, after taking Cherishy, swept on Bois Du Hari and Vis En Artois. London, Aug. 28. (1:44 P. M.) (I. N. S.) British troops are now within between six and seven miles of Peronne. Paris, Aug. 28. (U. P.) (12:05 P. M.) French troops cap tured Chaulnes, the great German defensive point on the ricardy front, Tuesday night, the war office announced today. The advance along the whole front, between Chaulnes and the Oise, continued through the night, and this morning the French had reached the vitally important railway town of Nesle. Thirty villages have been retaken since Tuesday and at some points the French have advanced seven and a half miles. The French are now within two miles of the Somme and at a point north of - Nesle and arc advancing rapidly. "During the night our troops, maintaining contact with the German rear guards, continued to advance north and south of the Avre," the communique said. "We occupied Chaulnes, Omic court (two miles east of Chaulnes), Balatre (three miles east 'of Roye), Roiglise (two miles southeast of Roye) and Verpillierea (a mile south of Roiglise). Farther south we penetrated Crapeau mesnil wood -(three miles north of Lassigny) and took Dives (two miles cast of Lassigny). "This morning we progressed toward the Somme.

The German line is cracking along the whole 50 mile front, from Lassigny to north of Arras. P The enemy is filling back hastily on the Somme, the center of which is marked by Peronne and Ham.
