FRESH CIDER SECURED
For the Goose Green-Squag Holler Social
Function.

A cider man from Topsham was in the
city to-day to close deal with the Goose
IGreenSquag Holer committee for large
quantity of fresh cider, which is to be
served with the doughnuts and popcorn
at the playground benefit dance in How
land hall Wednesday evening. Apple
Juice of the brownest October brew is to
be provided by the Topsham purveyor
and there are plenty of dealers who are
willing to guarantee the rest of the re
freshments. The committee wishes to
emphasize the fact that dancers in cos
tune will be allowed to dance at the
outset, even though they are not masked,
as the affair is primarily costume dance.
People who attend and are not in cos
tune must keep on the sidelines until
after the fourth inning. The admission
fee for unescorted women has been ad-
vsnced to 80 cents in order to head off
scalpers and male patrons must expect
to come through with the dollar charge.
Lest deception be practieed by designing
males. the chief Of police is to be sta
toned at the door to ward off all aliases.

WILSON DECLARES
CHARGE UNTRUE
Says No Postscript Was Ever Written or
Contemplated by Him But He In
serted Words to Make
Note Stronger.

Long Branch, n. j., Oct, t.,3l.-President
Wilson last night characterized as 'un-
true" the statement made by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts to
the effect that the president had serious
ly considered adding weakening post
script to his "strict accountability" Lu-
sitania note.
The president telcgraphed to Walter
Lippmann of New York, editor of the
New York Republic, replying to a mes
sage from Mr.. Lippmann regarding SEN
ator Lodges statement. The presidents
telegram follows:
"In reply to your telegram let me say
that the statement made by Senator
Lodge is untrue. No postscript or amend
ment of the Lusitania note was ever
written or contemplated by me except
such pages that ] myself inserted which
strengthened and emphasized the pro-
test. 1t was suggested after the note
was ready for Transmission that an in.
formation be conveyed to the German
government that proposal for arbitra-
tion would be acceptable and one mem
Der of the cabinet spoke to me about
it, but it was never discussed in cabinet
meeting and no threat of any resigna
ton was ever made, for the very good
reason that | rejected the suggestion
after giving it such consideration as |
thought every proposal deserved which
touched so grave matter
1T was inconsistent with the purpose
of the note. The public is in possession
of everything that was said to the Ger
man government.

LODGE REPEATS CHARGE.
And Reads Letter On the Lusitania Post
script Case.

Ftchburg, Mass, Oct. 3l.-SenatoI
Lodge in the course of campaign speech
here last night read a letter from John
Temple Lloyd Jeffries of Boston. in
which the writer stated that Henry
Breckenridge, former assistant secretary
of war, had several times made to him
remarks similar to those attributed to
him by DR. Charles H. Bailey Of Tufts
college concerning the alleged elimina.
tion by President Wilson OF weaken
ling postscript from the "strict account.
ability" note to Germany.
/ A letter from Dir. Bailey regarding n
conversation he had with Mr. Breck-
enridge on the subject was read by SEN
ator Lodge at public meeting Saturday
night and the senator in his address last
night said he presented the letter from
Mr. Jeffries "as additional evidence"
The letter follows:
Dear Senator Lodge: have noted in
Boston papers your remarks connecting
President Wilson with a postscript to
one of the so-called notes. According to
the papers YOU state that the effect of
this postscript was to vitiate the force
of the note, purposely to inform the inn
perial government that vigor displayed
in earlier parts of the note was designed
for Anglo American consumption solely.
According to the press accounts this
postscript was added rather surreptiti-
ously and under star chamber proceed
ings and was withdrawn only because
the few manly members of the cabinet
happened to discover its existence by
luck, and naturally threatened to turn
the government upside down.
81 assure you, sir, | deeply regret be-
ing drawn into this affair, but can not
sit idly by and see you called liar when
| know your statements are true.
"My friend, Major Breckenridge, sew
eral times made to me remarks similar
to those reported by Prof Bailey. | can.
my memory is only human; but the gen
eral substance of your statement is cor
rect to my personal knowledge.
CAS- / have telegraphed to Major |
to tell him of my proposed !
action and as his remarks were not Sc
eret, and as Prof. Bailey has already |
involved the major, ! feel obliged to |
state that | know your statement is |
true. With regard to Major Brecken-
-idge, he is one of the finest examples /
If the American gentleman, and his dis /
,inguished family has been famous for .
is chivalry in the South for years. His
statement also is unquestionably true
beyond any possibility of doubt.
Believe me, dear Senator Lodge.
"Yours truly,
(Signedl
