QUESTION ARISES
ON PAYING FOR FILL

Although crews 'of tmen lack less
than six weeks Of completion of Ithe
concrete work, it is likely that the big
concrete bridge being erected across
Hood river here will not be open for
traffic this year. The new bridge, the
cost of which will exceed $40, 900, is
considerably higher than the old steel
bridge, with its wooden trestle support,
and a 70-foot fill eight feet deep will
be required at this end Of the bridge
1t seems to be question at present
as to where the funds for the fill will
come from. Despite the fact that the
contract with the county calls for an
appropriation of only $1,000, this in
consideration that the State Highway
Commission will furnish remaining
funds necessary to make the bridge
ready for traffic, representatives of the
Commission have sought to have the
county bear the expense. Since the
fill lies within the city limits, the city
too, has been approached on the mat

HUNGER AN DCOLD FACING RUSSIANS
 DURING WINTER

London, Sept. 26-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Russia is facing a winter of hunger and cold augmented this year because of the extreme scarcity of fuel which pre- vails in all parts of that country. The lack of coal has been .keenly felt ever since the loss of the Donetz basin to the Germans early last spring. It affected the railroads and caused fac tories to be shut down.
 The Czecho-Slovak operations in Siberia and in the Ural region have prevented any relief from that direc- tion.
 The stores of wood in Moscow and Petrograd, owing to the lack of transportation facilities and other diff faculties too numerous to mention, are far from sufficient to meet the de- i mands of a long winter. A Moscow paper estimated months ago that the supplies of wood in that city would hardly suffice to satisfy the needs of public utilities this winter, and that in consequence all private enterprises 1 and homes could not hope to get even a limited quantity of it.
 To one who has experienced the discomforts of cold Russian winter even under better conditions, the situ- ation is far from alluring. The chilly atmosphere of an unheated apart ment, darkness in the streets and homes the quiet of city undistur bed by the rumble of street cars and mo- tor vehicles. and, lastly, the uncom- fortable feeling of an empty stomach such are the prospects of the com ing winter in Russia.

Fifteen Austrian divisions operat- ing between the Brenta and the Piave on the Italian front have had their retreat cut off through the cap ture of the mountain pass of Vadal by Italian and Allied troops.
 Official wireless despatches from Rome today say the advantage is be- ing pressed to the utmost and that a crisis is near. Enemy losses are de- scribed as appalling.
 Occupation of the valley of Quero by the Italian army corps operating north of Valdobbiadene threatens Feltre and exposes the Austrians in the Grappa region to f1anking movement, which 1t Is said will com pei immediate retirement.
 The Third Italian army on the lower Piave is reported advancing steadily in the face of desperate enemy resistance.
 In all, more than 1000 square kilometres of Italian territory was reconquered yesterday and apparently the whole front is being driven north ward.

 Venice now is safe since the Third army has driven back the Austrians in the lower plain. Italian cavalry is advancing rapidly at many points.
 Apparently the Austrian forces which were along the Piave will have great difficulty in reaching the hills east of the Isonzo. They have been separated from the armies in the mountains west of the Piave and the Allies already threaten their rear from the region of Vittorfo. Along the lower Piave the Italian third army has crossed the river and taken up the pursuit. In the center the Ital- fans have taken Oderzo while farther north they have advanced beyond Vittorio in tho direction of Bellinuo. In the retreat over the 55 miles be-

 Admirals Benson and Sims, with their staffs. walked to the French admiralty building yesterday, unre cognized by the crowds.
 Field Marshal Haig, accompanied by a single aide, took a promenade on the Champs Elysee and the Place de la Concorde, among the German trophies where the small boys play about the huge guns. He was not recognized by the crowds, but was sa luted by every soldier with a special snap. General Bliss, the ranking American officer, came in from Yer sailles, shook hands with the report CTS, and had a jovial chat with them.

tween the Piave and the Isonzo the Austrians rush backward as through narrow hallway, walled in on the north by the Carnic Alps and on the south by the Adriatic. From thei
 manner in which the Allies have driven in their wedge east of the Piave 1t apparently is the intention to outfiank the Austrians on the north
 in the foothills of [he Alps and crush them from both the north and the west.
 The situation of the Austrians guarding the Trentino along the front from the west of Lake Garda to the Piave also is becoming serious. Be-
 tween the Brenta and the Piave the 15 Austrian divisions operating there have been cut off by the capture of Vadalpass. Elsewhere on this front the Austrians must retreat northward through the Alps with the Italians, British and French pressing hard at their heels. If, as reported, the Ital- ians are attacking from Stelvio south ward to Lake Garda as well as east ward from the lake the Allies have begun the familiar pincer movement in the Trentino.
