OYSTERMANS SAYS
 WIFE WAS FALSE
While He Sailed on Sound She Had Another Admirer
 At Home.

While William T. Thompson was sailing the blue waters of Long Island Sound on an oyster boat, his wife was too much interested with a man named Albert Rowbottom, the hus- band declared today in the superior court He was given a divorce from Florence M. RaynOr on the ground of infidelity.
 Thompson, who was employed by the Radel Oyster Go. in NorwaIk, said he went to Long Island on his boat when the oyster crop was being cul- tivated in those waters in 1917- He just returned from cruise when a fellow townsman told him of Mrs. Thompson's, affair with Rowbottorn. Thompson asked his wife about tho matter and she did not deny it.
 I'm through with you," declared Thompson
 whatever suits you, suits me- the wife replied.
 Marion Bertha Wilson was another NorWalk resident who got a divorce She was given her marital freedom from Frederick H. Wilson of parts unknown. She testified that her hus- band departed after leaving a note on which was written, 'I am in trouble" Later the wife learned her husband was short in accounts with his em- ployers. The Wilson's were married in 1915.

SERGT. KRUSKA
 FIRED FIRST SHOT

This is the story of the first firing in actual battle-done by any unit of the American Heavy Artillery in France, and of it's results.
 The story belongs to Batteries "H'' and 'I'' of the 53d Artillery Regi- ment-"Groupe Gilmor." Together with matteries ''I'' and ''K'', sgd Ar tfllery, Groupe Green, these batteries had left the artillery camp at Haussi- mont on February 10, 1918, by the Chen1fn de Fer de PEst. They were loaned, for the time being, to the Fourth French Army, commanded by General Gouraud, and were therefore operating under French command. But with the exception of an inter preter and a French officer on Haison duty the personnel was entirely Amer ican. The two groUpes together made up Major Menges' Groupement
 Four months of training at Haussi- mont had fitted them for any task that might be assigned to them, cept in target practice. The groupe had three railroad guns, r>---4I 0's-approximateIy 13-inch-with a range of twelve miles and up- wards.
 Everything went smoothly as the batteries got away to the epis near -Suippe that had been pre- pared by the French. Targets had been assigned, and the American off, cers had worked out firing data for all of them.
 The living train was left on 'garage" -switch-where the main line of the railroad passed through a cut about one and a half kilometers from the firing position. The two

batteries, Captain Olin H. 'Longino commanding 'H'', Captain Gooding Packard commanding "P', went to work on the night of the 11th and in three hours had the friction beams laid, ready for the emplacement of the guns. La Fanchette II-'La Fanchette twice." as the men called her-beIonging to Battery I, was the first gun of the Big Gun Corps in po- sition for battle firing. The signal officer, Lieutenant Lucas,S put up a wireless station and strung all the necessary telephone wires, and the batteries were ready to fire on the morning of Lncoln's birthday.
 No firing was ordered on that day, however. On the next, February 13, when the French were to attack at Butte de Mesni1, Groupe Gilmor was assigned a target-a concrete dugout housing a. telephone and observation station close to the Butte.
 The attack commenced about noon. Groupe Gilmor went into action at 1:18 p. m. Two salvos were fired, using the prepared data If Battery I had won the honor of being first to place a gun in position, Battery H was fully compensated by being the first American heavy artillery bat tery to fire.
 The firing was proceeding accord ing to schedule when a new Ger man battery suddenly opened on the French, who sent an urgent call for help. The new battery must be si- fenced, and silenced in a hurry. This was not one of the assigned targets No firing data was ready. There was no time to compute it in the usual way. But the oreinteur, Lieu tenant Fisher, E. R. C., also went into action and computed approximate data for shift of fire. From the plan directeur, on which the new tar get was located by the information which the French supplied, the ap- proximate range was scaled off. To obtain sthe new direction, a perpen- dicular was dropped on the old CT line from the new target, and by a process like the mil system the angu- lar difference between the old CT line and the new CT line was com puted in decigrades.
 The guns were shifted on the epis to satisfy the new data, the approM- mate corrections of the day being ap- piled to the new range and direction. It was necessary to move them about
 
 course involved taking up the fric- ton beams behind the guns and shift ing them to a new position in front
 Twenty minutes sufficed for the change, and the batteries opened on the new target. The weather was cloudy and only terrestrial observa- tion was possible. The heavies fired. Only one shot was observed; that was reported 10 meters short. But after the second salvo the French observa- ton station flashed back the mess age. German battery out of action"
 The job accomplished, the guns were moved back to their former po- sition and resumed fire on the orig inal target. Fifteen salvos were fired from the three guns during the af- ternoon, and when the batteries ceas ed firing at about 5:so their work was

done. Later aerial photographs show ed nothing but shell craters where the German observation post and telephone station had been.
 When the days work was over, general of the French Artillery came into the Battery Commanders car and made a pleasant speech to the officers. The batteries shot, he said, as if they had all been in the artil- lerv for a. lifetime.
 The same night. in a rain and mud which made the task dirty one, and of course without lights, the friction beams were taken up and loaded on their flat car. the signal apparatus was taken down and slowed away by midnight. the railroad officer, Lieu tenant Bromley, made up the train and batteries pulled out at ' on the morning of the fourteenth.

Plan to Aid JugO- SIaVia to
Buy Goods in America

BELGRADE, June is, (By Mail).-
Plans are being formulated here to
utilize the money sent home or
brought home from the United States
by natives of Jugo-Slavia to enable
this country to purchase goods in the
United States or elsewhere.
To accomplish this, steps are being
taken to organize a General Coopera-
tive Federation. A convention for
that purpose soon will be held IN
Belgrade. It is proposed to unite in
this federation fourteen cooperative
unions already existing in Serbia,
S~lovenia. Croatia and Dalmatia. Each
union is composed of smaller units
known as "zadruga." or loan assocla-
tons which exist in all OF
industry.
The largest among the fourteen
unions is the Federation of the Ser
bian Farmers Cooperative Societies.
Altogether the unions have a total
membership of 400, 900 heads of fam
lilies, corresponding to about 100000
persons.
If the general federation of these
fourteen unions is accomplished, 1t
is proposed to establish a central bank
at Belgrade. This is considered the
most practical effort yet made to re-
establish credit in Jugo-Slavia. The
new federation would sell products
and purchase for all its members, in7
troduce modern machinery, gather
the savings of emigrants and aid the
farmers to cultivate the land. It is
intended to be not political but eco
monte and might easily be the most
powerful institution of Jugo-Slavia.

Mexican Political Bee
is Buzzing Already
(hssociated Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.)
MEXICO CITY, July Although
the presidential election in Mexico is
not scheduled to be held until July or
next year, political alignments are
taking form.
The newspaper, Excelsior, in a re-
cent issue reviewing the political sit
uation declared that a canvass of the
governors of the various states show
ed these chiefs to have the following
preferences: Ten for General Alvaro
Obregon; five for General Pablo Con-
zales; one for Louis Cabrera, Secre-
tary of the Treasury; one for Aguirre
Berlanga, Secretary of the Interior;
one for a civilian candidate as yet
unnamed and ven undecided. These
varied selections give some hint, at
least as to what men are being CON-
sidered for the honor.
General Obregon at present is not
in active army service, being engaged
in private business in Sonora. Gen
erale Gonzales is at the head Of gov
eminent forces is the state of Oaxaca,
following his pacification of the state
of 4Moreios eliminating in the death
of Zapata. He has not openly pro-
nounced himself a candidate but has
issued several letters in which he
challenged statements credited to
General Obregon and in one asked
the latter to sign a pact with him
that, in any event, the decision at the
polls would be final. General DIRE
gon as yet has not replied.
