WILSON TURNS DOWN
SECOND Term BOOST
Feels Such Action Would Prove
Embarrassing

At the direction Of President vii
son Secretary Tumulty wrote a letter
to New Jersey Democrats, declining to
have them endorse the president for q
second term.
Mr.. Tumulty's letter was to Edward
E.. Grosscup, state treasurer. 1t fol
lows:
, "You were generous enough to con
suit me as to whether the Democrats
of New Jersey should at this time en-
dorse the president fer second term
I had talk with the president about
1t, and he deeply appreciates the gen
erosity of the suggestion; but New
Jersey Is his home state, the men who
would act in this matter are his own
personal friends, and he feels hiatt
might seem IS If he were taking ad.
vantage Of the 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 Ne"
Jersey not to do this he is not abatine
in the least his deep appreciation"

SUNDAY.

Rheims, one of the most beautiful
cities in France, with 100000 popula-
ton, an important link in the French
defenses, is in flames, following a
furious bombardment of three days by
the Germans, in which 400 civilians
were killed and in which the cathe-
dral and the greater portion of the
city were demolished by shells.
An official Russian announcement
states that the German offensive
movement in east Prussia has been
checked, with severe losses to the
kaiser's forces. The German invasion
of that part of Russian Poland, lying
east of Prussia, continues highly sue
cessful, the Germans having taken
Grajewo and st. Shutchin, border
towns.
In Galicia the Russians are reported
to have cut off General DankPs army,
which was attempting junction with
the main Austrian army under Gen
eral Auffenberg.

Attacked on Three Sides.


The fortress of Verdun apparently
Is now being attacked from three
sides.
The railroad to Chalone on the west
Is still open as it's line of communica.
ton and source of supplies and rein

More than 5000 shells, each about
five feet long and nearly seventeen
inches In diameter, are being hurled
against the Verdun forts during every
twenty-four hours.
The cannonade goes. on night and
day. Trained gunners, whose life work
has been the study OF. scientific artil
lery fire, are at the German front at
Verdun directing the bombardment.
The Germans have more than 100 OF
the heavy guns in action there, not
counting the light artillery which is
being used agains tthe French troops
when they make sorties.
The French troops have constructed
q series of elaborate redoubts. De
fensive works have also been erected
for the protection of the batteries on
the hills.
Counting the fresh works, which
were erected to repel the German at
tack, there are no less than fifteen
forts around Verdun, on both sides
Of the Meuse river. The most Of these
are fortresses of the first class, which
were erected when the German al
vance against the city began. They
are protected with the finest artillery

"The right wing of the German
army has been under severe pressure
from the combined British and French
forces, but at no point has the enemy
succeeded in making an impression
on our lines. The main chain OF de
lenses along the River Disc and the
Aisne is intact, and the efforts OF the
enemy to carry the forts by night at
tacks have proved futile.
"Along the river from our right

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR
SATURDAY,.

Although no decisive result has
been achieved bye ither Of the great
armies facin geach other in northern
France, it would appear from the lat
est French official report that the al
lied forces are beginning to make
treir continued pressure felt.
The French army, operating on the
right bank of the River Disc, In the
region of Noyon, according to this re.
port, has made some progress, while
the Anglo-French force which week
ago crossed the River Aisne in the
face of a whitening fire from the Ger
man guns, now holds the heights to
the north of that point. In the center
the Germans have not moved from the
trenches which they dug when they
were compelled to fall back, while the
crown princes army, which holds the
German left, again has retired.

RUSSIANS NEAR
GERMAN BORDER
Dual Alliance Massing Troops
TO Meet Invaders.
COSSACkS REACH CBACOW

There Were Rumors Several Days
Ago That Cars Cavalry Was Seen
Few Miles From Breslau.
The news of the war in the east
indicates, after all reasonable allow
ances have been made for exasegra-
ton, that the immense Russian forces
are rapidly nearing the German from
tier on a line of advance 15O miles
wide.
London expects within week to
hear of a pitched battle, as vast as
that of the Aisne, between 100000
Germans and Austrians, who are con-
centrating on this line to save the
kaiser's territory, and 100000 Rus
SLAMS.
Belief that the direct Russian ad'
vance against Germany is rapidly pro
crossing is partially confirmed by an
announcement of the Breslau Gazette
that the military authorities there
have cut all telegraphic communica'
ton between Breslau, Posen, Oppein
and Liebnitz. This would indicate the
approach of the Russian armies, and
two days ago there were rumors that
Cossacks had been seen few miles
east of Breslau.
II Is now certain that the Russian
advance Is a double movement. A
great army Is moving westward and
southwestward from Warsaw and the
south for the purpose of striking at
Posen, while another army, released
from Galicia by the collapse of Aus
trian resistance, Is cooperating by an
advance against Cracow.
1t Is conservatively estimated that
the Russian strength In the two big
armies is not fewer than 100000,
this exclusive of the reserves held to
guard Galicia and Russian Poland and
to complete siege operations.
There are reliable reports also that
Russia, having now at the front am
pIe troops for the invasion Of Ger
many, Is now assembling a second
line of 100000 men.
Russian troops have captured the
fortified towns of Krukenice and Fels
ztyn, in Galicia, opening the way to g
final assault on Chyrow, an important
railroad center.
They also have defeated the garri
son of Przemysl, the last Anstrilr
stronghold on the River San, when II
made a sortie in an attempt to raise
the siege that has been in progress
for five days.
The Przemysl troops are now bottled
up within the forts, upon which the
Russians are keeping up a ceaseless
bombardment. Three attempts by the
German troops invading Russia from
East Prussia to capture Kovno, Rus
sia, have been repulsed and the inyad'
ers have been driven back.

MONDAY.

German troops were repulsed on
Monday with heavy losses all along
the battle line of $50 miles In
rance. Desperate attacks near the cen.
ter of the firing zone ended in defeat
for the kaiser, leaving his right wing
army exposed to the fianking maneuV'
ers of the French and British, and
compelling the crown prince Jon the
German left, to stand at bay before
the French forces harrassing his re.
treat.
Fighting was most sanguinary near
Craonne, where repeated bayonet
charges by the Germans endel in
their defeat. Bombardment of Rheims
continued for four days.
The two Russian armies which have
been operating in Russian Poland and
Galicia have formed junction and
are moving against the newly organ
lied Austro- German army, now in the
vicinity of Cracow.
