WILSON DENIES LODGE
CHARGE OF POSTSCRIPT
TO NOTE ON LUSlTANlA

Asbury Park, N. J., Oct. 31-The
White House Offices made public last
night a telegram signed by the Presi-
dent denying the charge of Senator
Lodge that Mr.. Wilson contemplated
appending. a postscript to his "omi,
no word or deed" Lusitania note to
Germany instructing Ambassador
Gerard to inform Berlin that toe
serious Interpretation should not be
placed upon these words-that they
were for home consumption.
The telegram, addressed to Walter
Lippman, one of the editors of the
New Republic Magazine, who had
interrogated Mr.. Wilson on the sub
ject, follows:
In reply to your telegram, let
me say that the statement made
by Senator Lodge is untrue. No
postscript or amendment Of the
Lusitania note was ever written,
or contemplated by me except
such changes as I myself in
serted, which strengthened and
emphasized the protest.
1t was suggested, after the
note was ready for transmission,
that an intimation be conveyed
to the German Government that
a proposal for arbitration would
be acceptable, and one member
of the Cabinet spoke to me about
it, but it was never discussed
in Cabinet meeting, and no threat
Of any resignation was ever
made, for the very good reason
that I rejected the suggestion
after giving it such considera-
ton as thought every proposal
deserved which touched so grave
matter. It was inconsistent
with the purpose Of the note.
The public is in possession Of
everything that was said to the
German Government.

ed Jones with a cuspidor, both knock

Jones down lying on top Of him while

list go, saying, "If dot die. he's my
meat I'll kill him."
Last Monday afternoon Peden re-

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns US to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood OF this irritating acid, but
become weak from the oyerwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
