Frank Williams wants to be a
member of the legislature to help
enact a law that will put the office
of auditor on a system that will
guard against the alleged shortages
held up against ex-Auditor Graham.
Well, if it takes him as long to form
ulate law to correct this as it has
to discover the fault there will be
time to loot state funds and carry
away the vouchers for several adj
ministrations. We do not know
what Newport wants, but we believe
the state wants no such dull pupil.

THE FALSEHOOD NAILED

President of Vermont Local Option League
Rutland, Vermont
Dear Mr.. Clement:
notice in the current number of the Vermont Issue
official organ of the Vermont AntiSaloon League the
following statement Readers should clearly understand
that every naturalization advertisement in Vermont
newspaper represents the sentiment of and paid for by the
allied liquor interests of the whole country the interests
which during all these past years have withstood the
of every effort to curta the power lessen their evil
effects 1t not to be supposed for moment that any Ver
mont citizen will invest hundreds of dollars the hopeless
task of bosterng up the dying liquor power in this country
The from who have been deuded into the
belief that there enough chance of keeping Vermont from
ratfyng the amendment to make it worth while to risk
their good money on this gamble
This paper accepted this advertisement supposing that
the sentiments expressed in the advertisement the
sentiments of Vermont organization whose membership
comprises Vermont only and that the advertising in
Vermont papers and all other expenses of the Local Option
Leagues activities paid by Vermont in Vermont
money.
AS president of the Local Option League you in
position to know and ask any money received directly
indirectly from the Alled liquor interests of the whole
country is being used being used in paying for the
Leagues advertising in Vermont papers. Your reply
neglect to reply be used in the columns of this paper

The Herald believes the republican
state committee has acted hastily in
demanding the resignation Of Gov
Graham at this time. Such things
are not usually done except on the
ground of impeachment, and Gov,
Graham has done nothing while gov
ernor for which he could be i'm
peached. Whatever wrong he may
have done was before his election as
governor and in an office entirely
outside the governorship. We are
not condoning Gov. Graham's acts as
auditor but this hasty action Of the
state committee looks like peanut
politics and in due time the "nigger
in the woodpile" will be uncovered.

Dear Mr.. Belknap:
am in receipt Of your favor of the 10th inst which
has been forwarded to me here Don't worry about the
money to be paid for Local Option advertising 1t fortu
nate that money is not tainted by the whence
but by the purpose for which is used The
sush fund of the AntSaoon League used in Washington
and at other Capitals to Prohibition does faint
the donor that fund.- but it brands forever the unscrupu
lous methods of the Anti-Saloon League.
am perfectly willing to state that the advertising put
out by the Local Option League in Vermont contracted

The Local Option League will, however, welcome con-

West of Fismes.
fAssoclated Preasl

| With the American Army on the
Vesle, Monday, Aug. 6.-The Germans
facing the Americans along the Vesle
increased the intensity of their artil-
lery fire late today, bringing into ac-
tion guns Of $50 millimetre against the
forces west of Fismes. During the
afternoon the Germans. employed fiamo
projectors from the slopes north of
the Vesle. where they appeared to be
well organized. Machine guns also
were used repeatedly.
The American lines also were sub
jected to heavy fire from German
1865. and late in the afternoon the
enemy raked the hilltops with various
kinds of gas shells.
The big gun duel soon became so
violent that observation was difficult
and maps had to be used, the Ameri-
cans picking out German positions OBJ
served during the day. The Germans
shelled forests, crossroads. highways,
clumps Of trees and al other places
where they thought troops or supplies
might be congregated.
Seventeen Guns Seized.
In the capture Of Fismes the Ameri-
can troops took seventeen guns. With
their crews, these weapons had been
left south Of the Vcsle to enfilade an
advance into Fismes. Some of the
German artillerymen also were cap
tured. ...t..
The American soldiers who captured
Fismes were members of the same or
Eanization that occupied Coulongcs,
Cbhan and Dravigny during the nd
vance north from the Marine.

t-av l..
spring were found IN the village

cupied the village. All personal be-
longings of any value were taken from

JAPANESE OFFICERS TO
COMMAND MOVEMENT
Siberian Operation Being Care
fully Planned-Red Gross
to Take Part.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Plans for
the organization and dispatch of the
American military contingent to Russia
to cooperate with the forces Of the al
lied nations In support of the czccho-
Slovaks at Vladivostok are being
worked rut by the army general staff
Beyond the statement issued Saturda,
by Acting Secretary of State, Polk tina
tho American forces would be "fcv
thousands" in number. no Intimate
as to the size of the contingent has
| been given.
Meanwhile the rules OF censorship re-
garding the actual movement of troops
do not permit OF any specific state
ments at this time of what is being
accomplished, but there is a good rea :
son TO believe that when Gen. March
makes his statement II will disclose
that 1t follows rather than preccdcs the
action that has been determined upon,
at least In some of its leading features.
Meanwhile there is no objection to the
statement that Ii the military laws that
govern joint action of interna-
tional military forces are to be OBJ
served In the case of this Siberian
operation, and there is no reason to be-
heve they will, the senior officer of the
international force will be in supreme
command This rule prevails even
where the different national forces
make up the joint expedition work on
concurrent lines, though in that case
the national commanders having COM
plete control of their own are bound to
obey the general rules OF the campaign
outlined by the supreme commander.
In this case II Is assumed that Japan,
by reason of her proximity to the scene
OF action, and the excellent condition OF
her army and transport service. will
supply the largest single body OF troops
in the undertaking, and, therefore. fol-
lowing military rules would naturally
assign to their command an officer of
higher rank than those in command of
the smaller American and entente
forces. In the opinion of officials here
this officer will be Gen. Baron Uychara.
chief OF staff of the Japanese army.
Red Cross To Participate.
The Red Cross has been arranging
for the participation Of that organiZu-
tion in the Siberian enterprises and al
ready has arranged for the shipment to
the far east Of quantities of supplies
likely to be needed. This is to be done
in addition to the usual hospital service
which falls to the Red Cross.
Though Acting Secretary Polk's
statement made 1t appear that only
America and Japan were in position to
render immediate military assistance in
Siberia, information has reached Wash
ington that, responding to the state
appeal for aid, the Brit
ish already have landed battalion Of
troops at Vladivostok. while a similar
force Of French troops from Tonqun
Is due there at any moment.
