WILSON DECLINES
JERSEY ENDORSEMENT
FOR SECOND Term

Washington, Sept. 25.-At the
election of President Wilson, Secre-
tary Tumulty today wrote letter to
New Jersey Democrats declining to
have them endorse the President for
second term.
Secretary Tumultys letter was to
Edward +, Grosscup, state treasurer
of New Jersey. 1t follows:
You were generous enough to
consult me as to whether the Demo-
Gratis of New Jersey should at this
time endorse the President for a sec
ond term. | had talk with the
President about it and he deeply ap-
preciates the generosity of the sug-
gestion; but New Jersey is his home
state, the men who would act in
this matter are his own personal
friends. and he feels that it might
seem as If he were taking advantage
of the extraordinary situation now
existing to gain some personal ad-
vantage through such an expression
of confidence by them.
This would be inconsistent with
his whole thought and spirit and he
shrinks from it 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 ap-

that either of the vast armies whose

point.
1t has been said that new bat
tie was developing on the allies left
wing, but SO far as London is con-
cerned this as yet lacks official con-
firmation. There were also reports
that the Germans have made gigan-
tic preparations to renew the siege
of Verdun.
The heaviest siege artillery. ac-
cording to these reports, is being
transported by the Germans from
Metz. and they are sacrificing thou
sands Of lives in their endeavors to
place these monsters in position. The
plain to the east of Verdun is said
in London to be strewn with 10000
dead and 900 wo.nded, the result
of repeated German advances which
have followed each other with light
ming like rapidity.

Already steps are being taken to

teams to be in the league are Trini-

received from the Monte Vista high
school, the federal army boys at
Forbes and the navy hospital at Las
Animas. These teams will probably
be matched, also arrangements made
for two games with the Ration high
school.
The Central park management has
very kindly offered the use Of the

the football games will be seen there
this season. After three or four
years without football the organi-

The school directors at recent
meeting proved the plan of noon

first lunch will probably be served
in a week or 10 days and some ex-

pare the lunches. 1t was found to
be. impractical to utilize the domes-
tic science classes in arranging the
lunch plan. Some doubt is entertain
ed also that the price can be f1xed at
1G cents owing to the high cost OF
staples, but the price will be kept
as low as possible.
The high scncol orchestra has re-
organized again with 10 members.
Miss Kroner is director.
Arrangements are being made for
the annual high school fair which
promises to be the biggest event OF
