M AOOO SOUNDS
 DANCER SIGNAL
 ID CONGRtSSMEN

Washington, Oct. 3.-Plans of con- gress to adjourn for a month over the November elections drew warn- ing today from Secretary McAdoo that failure to promptly enact the eight billion dollar war budget will disorganize and endanger the na- tional finance.
 "I am writing in deep solicitation said MT. McAdoo in a letter to Chair man Simmons of the senate finance committee, "to ask your cooperation and that of the committee on finance in averting a grave peril in the suc- cessful financial conduct of the war.
 "I cannot disguise nor refrain from directing your attention to the fact that failure promptly to report and pass the new revenue bill will disor- ganize and endanger the national fin ance."
 The adjournment program was an. nounced in the senate today hv ma iority leader Martin but he said it was framed on the assumption that the revenue bill could not possibly be dis posed of before the elections The senate adjourned today until Monday and house leaders planned to begin tomorrow a series of three day re. cesses until the $7.O00. .0O0O OOO army emergency appropriation bill is re- ported, probably about Oct. 14 The senate also. plans similar re. cesses until the army budget is pass ed.

By The Associated Press.

London, Oct 3-Field Marshal Haig's announcement that German retreat has been begun in the La Bassee sector is commented on as a development of far reaching i'm portance. It is assumed and unof- ficially stated, that the town of La Bassee has been evacuated. It is also believed that the enemy with drawal involves Lens and there is report too that the Germans have ordered that Lille be abandoned.
 To the successful operations of the Belgian army md General Plumer's forces, to the north, is attributed the enemy's movement to the rear. The Anglo-Belgian drive has brought those forces near to Menin.
 Unconfirmed reports come from Holland that the Germans are pre- pairing to exacuate the Flanders coast and the towns behind it.
 The breach in the Hindenburg sys- tenn between Le Catelet and St. Quen- tin by the British, Australian and American troops is commented as an incident of great importance. AL though it has not yet compelled the enemy to withdraw and while he has temporarily regained Sequehart, it is admitted by Berlin that there has been retirements in the neighborhood of St. Quentin. Rheims and in Cham pag1le.. Takeif in connection with the retreat further north, 1t is believed that the whole German line is shak- ing.
 Nevertheless the army is putting up tremendous resistance and ex- traordinarily fierce fighting contin- ues. The battle is fluctuating with out great changes in the position of the contending armies from Cambrai southward. It is regarded as an open question whether the desperate ef- forts of the Germans indicate their determination to hold in this sector, or is merely an attempt to gain time while evacuating their present line.
 The view is taken by the Mail that the breach in the lines north of St. Quentin imperils the whole German position. It says that the break in the line was tremendous feat which has eclipsed everything the British have done in the past.
 Referring particularly the strug- gle in the sector north of Cambrai. the Mails correspondent tells how in one sunken road captured by the Canadians and British there was an enemy machine gun every four yards but most of them had been knocked out by artillery fire. Along the road bodies of men were mingled with the wreckage of mine guns. The fighting never ceased and as the day advanced German reinforcements streamed for- ward in successive groups.
 By evening deadlock was reached and one of the bloodiest combats in recent history developed. It ended in a considerable but not ambitious ad- vance by the British.

 Amsterdam, Oct. 3.-The news Of B,hgaria's unconditional surrender now is being published in the Ger man press. It was admittedly with held Intentionally from public knowl- edge for time because the German official world refused to credit it until the last moment.
 I've are betrayed" is sentence that consequently frequently appears in the newspaper articles. The Frank fort Gazette is the first to admit that the surrender is a direct consequence of the developments on the western front. and it describes King Ferdi- nand's reported messages of loyalty to the German and Austrian emper- ors as constituting "a psychological riddle"
 The Cologne Volks Oeitung is deep lv pessimistic regarding the future. It would be unwise, it says. to place any hopes on a counter movement.

Along Eight Mile Front.

The statement reads:
 At dawn this morning British in- fantry, and tanks attacked along a front of about eight miles from &c., quehart to the Canal north of Bony.
 The attack was successful at all points.
 "On the right of the attack English and Scottish troops of the Thirty Sec ond division re-took the village of Sequehart, capturing number of prisoners, and later in the morning beat off with loss hostile counter att tacks.
 Taken By Storm.'
 "In the center an. English division stormed Ramicourt and WiancOurt, taking several hundred prisoners, while the second Australian division broke through the Pon Sommes- Beau- revoir line west and southwest of BeaurevOfr.
 Pressing forward, the troops of these two. divisions accompanied by tanks, reached the western outskirts of the village of Montbehain and se- cured the high ground south and southwest of Beaurevoir.
 Forced Their Way.
 Meanwhile, on the left of the at tack, English and Irish battalions forced passages of the Scheldt canal at Gouy and Le Catelet, capturing both villages and the high ground to the east.
 Apply the Torch.
 As the Germans retreat in the Ar mentieres sector they are applying the torch wherever they have the time, and their retreat is marked by great explosions as ammunition stores are destroyed.
 "It is known that the Germans are becoming so short of ammunition that many of the higher officers are alarmed. but in the retreat the de- struction of dumps has been absolu- tely necessitated.
 In the battle between Cambrai and St, Quentin the Australian and Eng fish were assisted by large numbers : of tanks, which carried out thelr tasks with their customary efficien- cy.
 Some of these tanks were manned by Americans who had been attach ed to British tank units.
 Reports from aviators say that the tanks rolled rapidly over the coun- try, materially helping the infantry to clear out the Germans who had made a dive for cover from the hur- ricane of British shells.
 As the infantry gained ground the British guns were constantly moved up to positions, from which they could continue pounding the Germans who at least in the northern battle area. seemed to be in full flight.
 The roads in the general direGtlan east of Gouy are reporteaS fuH Pf transports and men. and some bodWs df troops have reached pointssat At least five miles in the rear ..s No new German troops appeared m the battle her. ,altho the enemy {ear- tainly must have known that ;the position was bound to be attacked.
 This is sign that cannot be isnort ed and one in which the British comt manders find considerable satisfac- tion. :
 Among the towns captured on this battle front today were Gouy. Le Catelet. Ramacourt, Sequehart. Wlan- court and Beaurevoir.
 Heavy machine gun fighting is go- ing on in Montbehain and on the hills to the southeast of Ramacourt.

FISH DESTROYED. TO
HOLD PRICES HIGH
TONS OF SALMON SAID 10 HAVE
BEEN Thrown INTO CO.
IUMBIA LAST FAIL,
Many Knew of Dumping Process Not
Only by Interest Aroused but Also
Because of stencil,

PORTLAND. Feb. 16,--Why was it
that last FalI when Portland was pay
ing fancy prices for salmon and was
talking and preaching and practicing
economy, tons of salmon were dump
ed into the Columbia river near st.
Helens and other points?
This is one of the little mysteries
surrounding the fishing business as it
is operated or manipulated, or what
over the right expression might be,
ON the Columbia river, in the Gamer
les and in the Wholesale markets OF
Portland. There are many such mys-
teries
Here are the facts in the case.
Along in the early part of September
last year, when Portland people were
digging deep into their pockets for
the royal chinook and the big juicy
silversides, there suddenly appeared
on the surface of the Columbia river
a vast, seething mass of floating fish,
The carcasses lodged along the banks
so the story runs, all the way from
Sta Helens to the town of Stella.
over in Kelso information has been
obtained showing that there were 40
tons of the fish in the consignment
that went overheard. The story there
is that the fish was dumped by the
Barley Fish Company at Portland.
Everybody along the river knew of
the dumping process, not only by the
interest such an event aroused among
fishermen, who know some of the
tricks of the fish marketing game but
also because of the stencil that went
up when the fish began to rot on the
banks.
Mr.. Barley Makes Statement.
Nobody down the river seems to
know what condition the fish We're in
~hen they were dumped overheard,
out it is presumed they were spoiled
and unfit for food.
