Coincident with the charges comes a temporary injunction frorL the court of common pleas restrain ing Stella V. Houghton from conn pleting a frame garage at her prem ises in Collins street on the ground it is a fire hazard.

SO FISHERMEN ADRIFT
 AFTER U-B0AT ATTACK
WILSON FIGHTS
 CONGRESS FOES
Outspoken in Opposing Re- election of Men Antagon-
 istic to His War Policies.

Washington. Aug. 12-President Wilson has assumed an outspoken at- utude in opposing the election of members of Congress who have fought Administration policies in the conduct of the war. In the last few weeks he has taken an active part in the primary fights of both Senators and members of the House who have been especially active in aligning themselves as obstructionists.
 His most recent move in this re- spect was a letter which he wrote urging Georgians to support W. J. Harris, former member of the F4d- eral Trade ComIf ission, for the United States Senate against Senator Hard wick. He also wrote letter oppos- ing the primary fight of Senator Va1- daman of Mississippi. These letters are taken as indications that the President intends to exert every cf. fort to defeat anti-Administration members of Congress for re-n0mina- tion or reelection.
 The President, while opposing Var daman and Hardwick, has come out in support of the candidacy of Sem ators who have stood with him. He recently wrote a letter urging that Senator James Hamilton Lewis of H. linois, one of the most stalwart Ad- ministration supporters, to make the race for reelection, this after Sena- tor Lewis had hesitated about run ming again for the Senatorship. The candidacy of Representative James L. Slayden og Texas for re- nomination was opposed by the Pres ident in a letter written to a Texas editor. Representative Slayden inn mediately announced his retirement from the race, which resulted in the nomination, equivalent to election, of Carlo Bee, a brother-in-law of Post master General Burleson. The Pres ident also wrote a letter against the candidacy of George Huddleston of Alabama, another anti-Administra- ton Congressman. The primary in the Huddleston district has not been held.
 The President interposed opposition last spring to the election of Irving Lenroot, then a member of the House, to succeed the late Senator Husting as Senator from Wisconsin. The Pres ident advocated the election of Jo- seph Davies, Democrat, member of the Federal Trade Commission, in sisting that Lenroot's attitude in the early days of the war was unpatri- otic. The Presidents interference, how ever failed to prevent the cleo tion of Lenroot to the Senate.

The American divisions which par ticipated in that drive have been un- der French command, but now are included in the first army.
 Gneral Pershing, who retains his post as chief of the American expedi tfonary forces, after a time may re- hnuuish the command of the first army but possibly not until the or ganization of a second army is well under way. Meanwhile, he will have two headquarters. at the first army as we'll as at General Headquarters
 Tsa step is regarded az the Tnc5t important development in the organi- zation of the American expeditionary forces to date. It Is looked upon as the natural development of the 1917- IS scheme of organization and train ing by which regiments after training were merged into divisions under full staff direction.

VERMONT GOVERNOR
 SHORT IN ACCOUNTS

Montpelier, Vt, Aug. PA short age of S20,00O in the accounts of Horace F. Graham with the State of Vermont when State Auditor of Ac- counts, has been discovered in the books. which MT. Graham turned over to his successor, Benjamin Gates, when the former took the governors chair nearly two years ago.
 The shortage was discovered by State Bank Examiner Frank c. Will Hams. His examination disclosed en- tries extending from 1902 to 1916, totaling a little over s20.O0O, and for which th3re were no vouchers. Some of these items are charged to clerk hire, State highway work, and State aid, but the greatest part is charged to H. F. Graham.
 It Is understood that the governor contends that this money was used for legitimate State work, but as a result of the disclosure about s9,OoO has been paid to the State Treasury to cover part of the deficiency, and 1t is understood that arrangements have been made to supply the balance of the shortage.

to stand may be only for the purpose of preventing the complete rout of General von Hutiers' army which re- treated from the Montdidier salient early Saturday. Aviators report heavy movements of troops and trans port toward the east.
 All the railroad lines leading out of Rove now are within easy cannon range of Allied guns and French troops aEe at Andechy, three miles to the west and within less than four miles from the southwest where they have crossed the last barrier of hills. Lasigny, between Rove and Noyon, is within two and One-half miles of the French on the west and south. It is an important position. South of No van the French are fighting their way up the Disc and are within five miles of the town.
 Noyon is important not only in it's relation to the present battle line, but to the German position eastward to- ward Rheims and the enemy is fight ing desperately to stay the French advance toward it. The fall of Noyon undoubtedly would compel a rear engagement of the enemy line east ward.
 Unofficially the Allies have taken 10000 prisoners and TOO guns.
