SEEKS AN INJUNCTION.
Marconi's Company Would Restrain Gov
ernment Censorship.

New York, Sept. 25.-John w. Grlggs,
president of the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph company of America, issued the
following statement late yesterday:
"A bill has been filed in the district
court for the eastern district of New
York for an injunction to restrain the
secretary of the navy and the four naval
officers now acting as censors at Sea
Gate from censoring the oompany's sta
tion and possibly closing it. The names
of the officers made defendants are Lieut..
David |. Hedrick, Lieut.. Penn L. Carroll.
Lieut.. Josiah Ogden Hoffman, lr., and
Ensign John NJ. Sylvester.
"The following telegram was sent to
the secretary of the navy this afternoon:
II have filed in the federal court a
bill for an injunction 10 restrain you and
YOUR officers from censoring or closing
our stations. and have noticed hearing
Of motion for interlocutory injunction
for October :.
90 venture to express the hope that
as the Msrconi stations are all
in the spirit of the govern
ment's policy of neutrality and no mes
sages of an unneutral character have
been or are being received or sent, you
will be willing to await the result Of a
iudicial decision on the rights Of the
government and this company. In order
10 expedite the decision. | agree TO argue
the case at as early day as your coun-
sci may desire.

GERMANS RESUME
ROMBARDMENT
OF CATHEDRAL

ter their nerve with high explosives be'
fore the infantry attack is launched.
They seem to have relied on doing this
with us, but they have not done so,
though it has taken them several costly
experiments to discover this fact.
''From statements Of prisoners it APP
pears that they have been greatly dis
appointed by the moral effect produced
by their heavy guns, which despite the
actual losses inflicted has not been at
all commensurate with the colossal ex-
penditure of ammunition which has real
iv been wasted BY this it is not i'm
Piled that their artillery fire is not good;
it is more than good--it is excellent.
But the British soldier is a difficult per-
son to impress or depress, even by i'm
mense shells filed with high explo-
sive. which detonate with terrific vio-
lence and form craters large enough to
act as graves for five horses.
"The German bowitzer shells are from
eight to nine inches in calibre, and on
impact they send up columns OF greasy,
black smoke On account of this they
are irrevereutly dubbed coal boxes,
Black Marias,' or Jack Johnsons' by the
soldiers.
"Men who take things in this spirit
are, it seems, likely to throw out the
calculations based on the loss of morals
so carefully framed by the German mill
tary Philosophers"

aPHoNY" CHECK CHARGE.
Brought Against Young Man Arrested
By Burlington Police.

Burlington. Sept. 25.--Elijah Thiv-
ierge, young man of "a College street
has been arrested by the Burlington po-
lice on the charge OF obtaining money
under false pretenses from w. y. Peters,
the florist, the amount being 50, which
was obtained by Mr. Peters cashing what
is described as "phony' check. Thiv-
ieree was also loaded for other victims,
as he had several other checks made
out. PAYABLE to other parties and signed
by himself.
The check that was cashed by Mr.
Peters was on the form of the Burling-
ton Trust company but the name OF the
Trust company was scratched out and
the name Of the First National bank OF
Champlain, N. y, written over the top
in ink. The same was made out to Mr..
Peters and signed with Thiverge's name
and cashed by the latter for an accom-
mediation. Mr.. Peters suspected after
ward that the check might not be good
and he had the trust company telephone
the Champlain bank. 1t was found that
the man had no deposit there. His ar
rest was made later.

HE SUED FOR THE RING
Which He Placed on Finger of Pretty
Summer Girl.

Belfast. Me-, Sept 25.-Miss Marjorie
Cowan of Orange n. j., 10 years old
and one of the prettiest summer girls
at Northport campground, where she
spent the season with her mother in a
cottage, was a defendant in the supreme
court yesterday in suit brought by
Nelson Racklitfe of Worcester, Mass,
also about 10. TO recover the value OF
diamond ring, which he claims was
worth 800.
Nelson said he met Miss Cowan for
the first time this summer. The second
time he was in her company and while
they were sitting on bench in the park,
she expressed admiration for his ring, he
said. and asked him to slip it on her
finger. He did so and agreed TO let her
wear it home, when she promised TO
give il back in the morning. he said.
The girl told the court that when she
reached home that night the ring was
gone. She didn't know whether the
young man had slipped it of when she
didn't know it OF she had lost it. She
said that she and her mother searched
for it all the way from the park seat TO
the cottage, which wasn't far, but could
not find it. She denied that she has the
ring now or knows where it is.
Mayor Robert F. Dunton appeared for
the plaintiff and H. c. Buzzell for the
girl. Both made long arguments The
jury deliberated for nearly three hours
and finally brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff, fixing the value of the ring at
S26 and allowing interest on that amount
since the date of the alleged loss.

FLANK MOVE FAILED
According to Statement Given Out by
Count Bernstorff.

New York, Sept. 25.-Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador TO the
United States, last night announced he
had received by wireless an official state
ment from the German general staff in
Berlin, as follows
"0n the right wing of the German
army, beyond the Oise, the battle has
come to a standstill. Flanking moye-
ments of the French army have had no
success. Between there and the forest
of Argonne no serious fighting took place.
Varennes was taken by the Germans.
"Their advance is continuing. The
German army which is attacking the
forts to the south of Verdun repulsed
sorties from Verdun and Toul. Many
prisoners and machine guns were taken.
The heavy German artillery has success
fully begun to lombard the French forts
Troyon-les- Paraches, Camp desLomains,
and Lironville.
I'm the French Lorraine and on the
frontier of Alssce, French troops were
repulsed.
A really decisive action has taken
place nowhere"

WET WEATHER MAKES
LULL IN FIGHTING
Disease Is Also Getting Into Some of
the Armies, According to Report
Received in London.

London, Sept. %, 1918 a. m.-The
weather conditions which have been ex-
ceptionally favorable during the first
six weeks of the war, have now changed
radically and that is, in the main, re-
sponsible for the hull prevailing in all
the war areas with the exception of
the Montenegrin and Servian combined
assault on Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ac-
companying the respects of bad weather
comes the ominous news of the presence
of disease.
Hungary has acknowledged an out
break of cholrea among its troops, and
while it is denied officially the same
ourge is said to have attacked the
Servian troops The outbreak OF nild-
er diseases is expected in the western
battle area, where the troops drenched
by pitiless rain are lying in flooded
trenches.

returning yesterday forenoon with an
nouncement of its failure to agree and
being sent back by Judge Miles.
The trial of the case of Henry Russ VS..
Michael Good was started this morning.
This case comes from Barre and arose
over a peculiar cause, the men disputing
over a statement whether one of them
had assisted in the task of loading into
an ambulance a basket containing the re-
mains Of a man killed on the Montpelier
& Wells River railroad, the argument
turning into offers to bet and then into
physical encounter. The plaintiff sues
for $1,000.

L. j. Durkee Of Duxbury, Leon Daley
and Thomas Herbert of Middlesex. Will
liam Walker OF East Montpelier, F. q.

terbury and Thomas Mekkleson of Barre
Town. The plaintiff was represented by
R. A. Hoar and A. G. Fay, and the de-
fendant by j. ". Gordon and S. Hollis.
ter Jackson.
The first witness put on the stand
by the plaintiffs side of the case was
the defendant himself, who went on to
tell about the occurrences at the dining
and coat room at Jones Bros. Co.'S
plant. When he had concluded. Mr.. Nc
Donald was put on the stand and be
told the jury that Good punched Russ in
the jaw and then the jaw swelled. DE-.
w. !. Tyndall Of Montpelier and Dr. J.
III. Woodruff of Barre testified to the
condition Of Russ face when he came to
them for treatment Albert J. Hurry
was another witness on the stand this
forenoon, telling of the progress of events
at the gathering of men at the Jones
Bros. plant on the day in question.
A motion to continue the case OF Nell
son Larochelle, administrator VS.. Cen
solidated Lighting Co. and the Tenney
company, alleged negligence, probably
will be argued next Monday.

COMMUNICATION CUT.
Between Mexico City and Vera Cruz
Events in Former A Mystery.

Vera Cruz. Sept. 25.-All the tele-
graph and telephone wires and the one

Cruz were cut yesterday. Brigadier-
General Funston, in command of the
United States forces and w. w. Canada,
the American consul have been unable
to ascertain the reason or to learn what
is transpiring in Mexico City.
A force of men under Higenio Agui-
lar. an aged former federal general be-
Gan tearing out the railroad north of
Esperanza. about 100 miles west of Vera
Cruz, early yesterday and at the same
time cut the land wires. The first in
timation that these things were being
done came from the railroad agent at
Esperanza, who sent message to Oriza-
bs to the south saying, "people are
burning the bridges and tearing out the
rails" A few minutes later commuuica-
tion ceased.
A train which left the capital yester-
dav morning was on this side OF the
torn.up track and is expected to arrive
here tonight.
II is stated that one of General Villas
agents was in Vera Cruz recently can
vassine the fugitives here, holding out
promises that if they Joined Villa their
old ranks would be recognized.

about 5000 men in his forces.

WILSON MUCH DISPLEASED
Over Recent Utterances of Diplomats at
Washington.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 25.-President
Wilson manifested TO callers yesterday
his displeasure over the recent utter
anees of the diplomats accredited to the
United States from the belligerent gov,
ernments. He mentioned no names and
told inquiring newspaper men that he
would make no comment, preferring that
the discussion be conducted through the
regular channels of the state depart
ment.
Three published interviews in particu'
lar have given the American government
offense: One by the Turkish ambassador,
A. Rustem Bey; another by Sir Lionel
Garden. the British minister to Mexico,
and a third attributed TO Baron Won
Schoen. former secretary of the German
embassy at Toxic, but formally re-
pudiated by him. Whether other inter
views have been taken up officially has
not been divulged.
Opportunity was given to the Turkish
ambassador to withdraw his remarks,
but he informed the president that he
did not care to change his views and
would leave the United States soon of
his own initiative on leave of absence.
His interview compared lynchings in
the United States and water cures IN
the Philippines with acts which the
Turkish people had committed in re-
ligious uprisings.
An explanation of the remarks OF Sir
Lionel Garden, who criticized President
Wilson's Mexican policy, is expected to
be forwarded by the British foreign Of
flee as soon as the minister, who is en-
route to England reaches there.
Baron Won Schoen called on Acting
Secretary Lansing of the state depart
ment and personally repudiated an in
terview in which he was represented az
saving that the japanese hated the
American people, and that war between
the two countries was inevitable. On
Wednesday he acknowledged to newspa-
permen that the interview was authen-
tic His explanation Of yesterday was
accepted BY MIR. Lansing, who said after
ward that Baron won Schoen mentioned
it voluntarily while discussing other
matters.
The deduction which official Washing
ton has drawn from these occurrences is
that President Wilson looks with EN-
phatic disfavor on the conducting here
of any propaganda by the diplomatic
representatives of any of the belliger-
ents or other governments il that propa-
ganda is calculated to play upon the
patriotism of feelings of the American
people in way that might involve the
neutrality of the United States.
