 Supply.

Washington, July 23 - President Wilson today byp reclamation assum- ed control of the Cape Cod canal, connecting Cape Cod and Buzzard's s Bay, Massachusetts, and directed the railroad administration to operate 1t.

WILSON ISSUESAN ORDER
 TAKING OVER TELGRAPHS
PROGRESS MADE
 ON ALL FRONTS BY ALLIED TROOPS
Fiercest Fighting Continued Monday on Both Wings of
 German Salient.

With the French Army in the Aisne- Marne Front, Monday, July 22.-(By the Associated Press)-The f1ercest fighting continued throughout the day on both wings of the German salient betweeen the Aisne and the Marne. The efforts of the enemy were concen- trated on an attempt to prevent the Allied troops from cutting through on either side and thus imperilling the great masses of German troops still within the semi-circle.
 Despite the German determination French, American and British troops all made progress.
 Probably the heaviest fighting today occurred on the eastern wing of the salient where British troops took part. The Britishers, who had arrived on the scene only recently, engaged the en- emy in a hand to hand conflict in the extreme wooded region southwest of Rheims
 Four fresh divisions faced them. One German division which had held the line against the Italians had been annihilated, only few hundred re- maining The Germans had a large number of machine guns in this vicin- ity, but the British captured 40 of them in the course of a strong attack in which they made progress and took more than 200 prisoners.
 Altogether the day was very sat- lsfactory for the Allies, who are threat
 ming the German communications ev- erywhere. There is every reason to believe the Germans are hurrying for ward more divisions to add to the so they already have thrown into the bat fIa

This wild rumor was brought to the notice of Ferdinand Karass, a west end landlord, who has had some. diff culty with few of his tenants who occupy two of his A houses. He was busy today making inquiries as to the truth of the story when seen by a representative of The Times.
 In answer to a query as to his atti- tude in the event of such action being taken by the government Karass said: T would be tickled to death if the authorities, whether federal, state, county, or city, collected my rents for me. It would take a great deal of work off my shoulders and I am sure that tenants in every one of my houses would be satisfied, but not as much as I would.
 If such a thing could happen ten- ants would have to respect property and pay rents promptly and they could not be fiocking to this and that organization with fancied grievances They have done everything in their power to discredit me with the au- thorities, even going to the extent of casting aspersions upon my loyalty SNf course anyone who knows my family will laugh at such an accusa- tion and our. neighbors will testify that. my family has done nothing but endeavor to inetil loyalty to the United States among the foreign born that we come in contact with.
 Personally I have bought s25, GOO worth of Liberty Bonds and being an American born, and raised and edu- Icated in America, there is nothing will not dc to further the interests of my country, therefore resent the false accusations which have been brought against me by objectionable tenants whom I am now taking steps to evict from my property which they have done their level best to destroy" :"

EXTRAVACANCEIN IN LIGHTING WILL BE
 DISPENSED WITH
Says Statement Issued To- day By Chairman T. J.
 Pardy.

Householders will be greatly inter- ested in the following suggestions that are embodied in the statements issued this morning by T. J. Pardy, chairman of the Fuel Administration of this city. He states that steps are to be taken by the Conservation Commit tee by which all extravagant lighting is to be dispensed with as soon as possible. Advice is given to the ef- feet that it is we'll to have some one in the house when coal is expected to arrive otherwise the coal may be de- livered to the nearest person who has an application in.
 The statement follows:
 It is very difficult to get people in terested in fuel economy in their homes during the summer weather, but every. pound of coal saved at the present time and every effort to pre- pare for the coming winter should be done as soon as possible. A few re- pairs to heaters or even a thorough inspection of all dampers, f1ues and grates the putting up of storm doors,
 
 tions, double windows will all help the fuel situation in the cold weather. Do not put this off until fall, but see that these items are attended to now.
 If you have filed an early applica- tion for coal with any dealer, do not fail to notify him that you are ready to receive your coal and make ar rangements so that someone will be in the house when the coal arrives.
 As the greatest number of applica- tions by consumers were made in the month of April, 1t will take several weeks to deliver the two-thirds ap- piled for during this period.
 The mutual arrangement between the local board and the dealers, s that all applicants will be supple with moderate amount of coal in rotation to the date on which their applications were filed.
 The local office are checking up these deliveries and as whole the coal dealers are living up to their promises. If you are not at home when the coal arrives your next door neighbor may be served even though the order was placed later than yours. This saves the expense of taking it back to the dealers yard.
 Try to use egg size coal in place of stove size, and your orders may be filled earlier as there is a larger amount of this size being received.
 Steps are being taken by the Con servation Committee by which all ex- travagant lighting will be dispensed with as soon as possible.

the German salient, and in Vile en Tardenofs, just behind the German lines southwest of Rheims
 The Germans, however, have suc- ceeded in holding up the Allied ad- vance on the line south of Soissons and have gained time for the with drawal of their imperilled legions, which now appears likely to be ef- fected in safety. The enemy may choose line along the Ourcq for further defensive operations, but the presence of Allied troops to the north of this stream may compel a retire. ment at least as far as the vesle riv- CT. This is said to be indicated by concentrations of German troops at Fismes and other points along the Vesle.
 The local success of the French north of Montdidier improves their line there. They now have secured positions which dominate the Avre valley for several miles along a vital sector.
 Farther north the British have ad- vanced their line slightly south of Hebuterne, where they recently at tackled and moved their positions for ward over a mile front. South of Morris and Meteren, in the Lys sec tor, in Flanders, the British lines also were improved and local successes in the Hamel sector north of Albert and in front of Amiens are reported.
 French and Americans have cross- ed the Marne over a front of twelve miles between Jaulgonne, seven miles east of Chateau Thierry, and Reuil, near where German line crossed the stream during the days when the Ger man offensive was at it's height.

(By the Associated Press.)
 Along the battle line from soissons to Rheims the fighting died down dur ing the last night, only the activity of the opposing artillery being report ed by the war office at Paris.
 This lull on the line where terrible fighting has occurred during the last week may, however, be only tempor- ary and renewed Allied attacks against the Hanks of the German sa- lient, or German rear guard actions may begin at any time.
 Such a lull might have been ex- pected at this time, for the Germans have thrown heavy columns into the line running southward from Soissons and the Allies are compelled to bring up heavy artillery and supplies be- fore they can continue their batter ing tactics against the enemy.
 The French, not content with the work they have done in the southern battlefield, attacked along the line north of Montdidier, in the Somme sector, last night, and occupied the villages of Mailly, Raineval, Sauvillers and Aubvillers, which are west of the Avre river and immediately to ,, the south of the French success earlier in the month, when thep captured valuable positions over a three mile front south of Castel.
 The new attack was over front of about x miles and the occupation of Aubvillers shows that there appar- entIy was a penetration of German positions to a depth of a Lille and a quarter. Prisoners numbering $50 were taken by the French.
 There are indications that the Ger man preparations for retreat north of the Marne are continuing. Large fires are reported burning at Fere en Tardenois, near the western flank of

FOE DESTROYS STORES IN VESLE
 RIVER REGION

Pafis, July 23-Reports of the fighting in the Soissons-Rheims sa- lient appearing in the Parisian news papers tell of fires burning in Fere en Tardenois and Vile en Tardenois Some of these were, no doubt, caused by bombs dropped by the Allied avia- tors, but it is believed that the enemy Is destroying stores that cannot be moved back of the German defensive line along the Vesle river.
 Fere en Tardenois is near the vest flank of the salient, while Vile en Tardenois is farther east and is near the Allied lines, southwest of Rheims. The burning of stores in both places may be an indication of a general re- tirement from the salient by the Ger mans.
