Sept. 23-American artillery fire pre-
vented a German raid from matepializa-
ton today. Warning of the enemy's
intention was given by the start OF a
German barrage. As it shifted from
the front lines to the back areas, the
American fire opened so effectually
that any attack was out of the ques-
ton.
Isolated sectors were subjected to q
harrassing bombardment during the
morning. This fire did no damage.
The enemy is busy consolidating his
lines in front of the American right
flank before st. Mihiel.

MULDON CALLS FIRST SESSION OF
COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE CAM

NAME ZONE MEN.

The first official meeting of the Es-
Gambia County Liberty Loan com,
mittee was held yesterday morning al
Bank building, James NJ. Muldon, Es-
Gambia County chairman, meeting with
the members OF the committee.
Plans We're discussed for the launch
ing of the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, the greatest task ever
set this section. The committee eX-
pressed confidence that it will be car
ried forward with success.
Escambia went over the top in thu
third Liberty loan drive with nearly
ST 100000 to the credit Of the county
the Pensacola zone having reached a
quota of nearly s2,O0O.OO This gives
the committee confidence in the pres
ent drive.
r. F. Mitchell, zone chairman, is
making appointments in the various
counties ana will soon announce the
names of all chairmen for the Pensa-
cola zone.
Passes Up Pensacola.
When asked last night as to the
War Relic train, which is making a
tour of Florida, and which will moi
stop in Pensacola, Mr.. Mitchell said
tnat, according TO present ScneQule
and the decision of officials this train
will not stop in cities of less than 5000
or more than 5000 population. The
authorities feel that the larger cities
have advantages in the war work pro-
gram not enjoyed by smaller towns.
The fourth loan will be for much
larger amount than any of the for
mer ones: the time allowed for taking
subscriptions will be less than In the
preceding campaigns. This will mean
that we must work more diligently
than in the past in order to make a
success.
There can be no question that it is
as much the duty Of those Of us VINO
remain at home to buy Liberty Bonds
to the limit of our ability and to in
fluence others to do likewise as it is
the duty of the soldier in France to
fight" loan officials say.

ty commissioners for Volusia county,

cd with the charges forced me to the
coI clusion that the aforesaid county
commissioners were guilty of miscon-
duct, malfeasance and misfeasance in
Office and in order to bring about the
enforcement of the law, it was my
duty to suspend them and appoint
other commissioners from the districts
of Volusia county thus represented.
Upon further inquiry into all the
circumstances surrounding the charges
filed and the conduct of said county
commissioners | have been impressed
with the fact that perhaps the charges
over-emphasized the situation and
have not been fully sustained by the
facts in the case.
Reviews Evidence.
Being further impressed with the
supreme power vested in the Governor
in such cases, particularly in the abb
sence Of the Senate making it impossi-
BILE to have the suspension reviewed
until the next session of the legisla-
ture. and upon more definite informa-
tion that was not available when the
was made. have reached
the conclusion that the charges filed

cumstances affecting the real facts in
the case are insufficient to sustain the
permanent removal of the said w T..

Accordingly the Governor has revok-
ed the suspension of the aforesaid
