HIS FRAU TO BLAME
French Officer With German Wife
Cause of British Disaster.

New York, Sept. 25.-Another version
of the reason why the French delayed
in coming to the support of the British
when they were hard pressed by the
Germans at Mons, was told to her
friends in New York today by Miss Eva
Gay. of Norwood, Mass. a former
Mount Holyoke college girl. who has
been teaching school in Spain and re-
turned from England Wednesday on
the Olympic.
Miss Gay said she had been told by
English friends, who had relatives con-
nected with the British war office that
General Joffre, in response to the re-
quest of General French, the English
commander. for reinforcements to ex-
tricate him from his dangerous position,
entrusted orders for the dispatch OF
such reinforcements to a certain high
French officer. When the execution of
these orders was delayed an investiga-
ton was begun and it was learned
that the French officer had a German
wife. His home in Paris was searched
and therein were found military docu-
ments of 2 treaonable nature
The officer was Immediately court
martialled, convicted and shot. Miss
Gay said she had been told that the
English authorities had refused to per-
nit the publication of the affair for
fear of it's effect on the morale of the
English troops.

"SHO0T EN- ALL makes NO DENT
Claimed French Forts J. Are
F. Crumbling.

Berlin, Sept. 25.-That the main
line of the French Notifications from
Verdun to Toul is being battered to
pieces by the German siege guns was
announced by the war Office today.
The official report said:
German troops are attacking the
entire line of the French Notifications
along the French eastern frontier
from Verdun to Toul. In an. attempt
to raise the siege and prevent the de-
molishing of their forts, already suf-
fering severely from the German
eral attacks in force on the German
line. All have been repulsed with
heavy loss to the enemy. who has been
driven back on his main support.
"The right wing of the German
army has been under severe pressure
from the combined British-F French
forces, but at no point has the enemy
on our line. The main chain of de-
fenses along the Rivers Disc and Afsne
is intact and the efforts of the enemy
to carry the forts by night attacks
have proven futile.
"Along the line from our right
through the Argonne forest no impor-
tant engagements have taken place.
East of the ArgOnne the German lines
have been extended through Varrenes,
which was taken by a series of bril-
liant assaults in which the enemy lost
heavily.
In French Lorraine and on the AL
SAGE frontier. fighting continues but
there has been little change here from
the situation as previously reported.
Summed up, it can be stated that
while a series Of violent combats have,
and are. taking place. at no point Is
the battle seemingly approaching a
decisive stage. The spirit of the Ger
man troops is WONDERFUL. They have
met the most desperate attacks with
counter r-assaults and have inflicted
great damage on the enemy

NO SECOND Term
President Prevents New Jersey
Democratic Endorsement.
Doesn't Want Home State to
Give 1t Now.

Washington, Sept. 25.-At the direc-
ton Of President Wilson, Secretary
Jersey Democrats declining to have
them endorse the president for sec
ond term.
Secretary Tumulty's letter was to
Edward E. GrOsscups state treasurer OF
New Jersey. 1t follows:
You were generous enough to con-
suit me as to whether the Democrats
of New Jersey should at this time en-
dorse the president for second term.
had a talk with the president about 1t
and he deeply appreciates the generos-
ity Of the suggestion: but New Jersey
il his home state, the men who would
act in this matter are his personal
friends. and he feels that it might seem
as IL he were taking advantage Of an
extraordinary situation now existing to
gain some personal advantage Through
such an expression of confidence by
them.
This would be inconsistent with his
whole thought and spirit. and he
shrinks from 1t as from something that
would embarrass him, rather than help
him.
HE feels confident that you will
know the spirit in which he says this;
that in urging the Democrats of New
Jersey not to do this he is not abating
in the least his deep appreciation"
1t was understood the president de-
cided not to allow the New Jersey
Democrats to endorse him for a second
term because he believed it would look
as though he were seeking renomina-
ton. His attitude, however, was not
taken by friends here to mean that he
has decided not to accept a renOmina-
ton If it Is offered to him.
Democrats in other states have en-
dorsed him for a second term and no
objection was made at the White
House. AS outlined by the presidents 8
friends, Mr.. Wilson's position is that
he is not considering the question of
a second term at this time and future
events will determine his stand.
The New Jersey Democratic conven-
ton is to be held next Tuesday and
Democrat leaders here say it was
ready to endorse the president for an
other term. Before Mr.. Tumulty's
letter to Mr.. Grosscup was written, ma
tional Democratic leaders were con-
suited. 1t was understood the presi-
dent took the position that II the New
Jersey Democrats endorsed him for
another term the country might think
his candidacy formally launched and
that all his future acts were designed
to gain votes.

KAISER WAS AWAY
Andrew Carnegie Says Wilhelm
Didn't Start War.
Damage Done While Ruler Was
on His Vacation.

New York. Sept. 25.-Andrew Carne-
gle. advocate of international peace,
reached New York today aboard the
steamer Mauretania with a new version
of how the war in Europe was started.
"I'n tell you how the war started
said Mr.. Carnegie. THE kaiser was on
holiday on his yacht in the North
sea. While he was away he received a
telegram asking him to return to Ber-
lin. When he returned the mischief
had already been done.
1.-The kaiser himself is a marvellous
man, possessed of wonderful ingenuity.
He has done more good for Germany
than any other man before him. He
has built up a great foreign commerce
and a marvellous internal business.
The kaiser himself is a peace-loving
man.
THE trouble was started by the Ger
man military caste that rules the
country. They are responsible for the
war. The kaiser gathered around him
a group of men who, unknown to him,
acted in concert and in his absence took
the action that could not be altered.
LAS for my own country, 1 do not
know how to thank God that live in
a brotherhood of forty-eight nations
forty-eight nations in one union."
Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter ac-
companfed the Laird of Skiboo on the
trip across the Atlantic. America s
duty to the world, Mr.. Carnegie added,
is to point the way to an everlasting
peace What we want is an internal
tional court to stop war. No real friend
of lasting peace wants to stop the war
now. That would be short-sighted
policy and would be but an armed

peal to Queen Mary to start

possible 100000 pairs of socks and
a like number of abdominal belts

Lady Paget is the daughter of
the late Paran Stevens of New

American Woman's hospital, and
a member of the committee ap-

ARMIES PREPARED FOR SIEGE

Paris, Sept. 25.-Accor6ing to fnfor-
nation reaching the French capital this
morning, the Germans are continuing
their desperate resistance against the
advance Of the allies In the north. This
advance was first on Roye, 26 miles to
the east Of Amiens, and then upon
Peronne. 20 miles north Of Roye. 1t was
only by continuous ralking artillery
fire and hard fighting. that the French
and British troops were able to con-
ttnue their advance against the vigor-
Gus attacks of the enemy.
The left wing of the allies now occu-
ana the river Somme, which were ira
versed by the Germans during their ad-
vance in the direction of Paris. From
this fact. 1T is argued here by military
observers, that the Germans will be
obliged to concentrate a force in order
to protect their right wing, the out
thanking of which, Paris believes would
mean decisive victory for the allies.
In this fighting, which is in large
measure from inprovised forts. the al
lies have advanced not only on the left,
where their maneuvers apparently were
successful. but also at other points
which were strongly fortified, such az
Berry-au-Bac, in the direction of era
onne. Judging from the reports coming
to Paris. the Germans appear to be sac
r1nc1ng masses OF men IN the hope OF
gaining quick advantage. So strong
are some of the positions on each side
that Paris believes long and steady
siege at some points Is not improbable.
The allies appear to be prepared for
this as well as for any other develop
ments.

UNIFORMS ARE WEARING.

London, Sept 25.-The possibil-

for the millions of soldiers in the
war may have to be seriously con-
sidered If the conflict is prolonged
through the winter. Some of the
correspondents are already report
ing that the soldiers uniforms are
beginning to show wear and tear
1t used to be believed that q good
uniform should last campaign.
That was not the experience OF
1870. In December, 1870, German
soldiers might have been seen plod-
ding through the mfry roads in the
depth of winter barefoot, whilst
many had .only wooden shoes and
