DEWEY CANNOT LIVE
MORE THAN A DAY
Condition of the Patient Was Far Worse
This Forenoon and Hope Was
Abandoned.

Washington, d. c., Jan. l6--Admiral
George Dewey's condition this morning
was said by the doctors to be distinctly
worse, and it was feared he would not
live throughout the day.
Later in the day, the physicians an
nounced that the patients condition was
growing worse.
The admiral was stricken last Thurs.
day as he was leaving home for the navy
department, where as president OF the
general board he has been at his desk
almost daily during the past l6 of his 81
years of service in the navy. He collapsed
and had to be carried to his bed Inquir-
ers were told that the admiral had a
cold.
But there was no recuperation. Yes
terday morning his condition had become
so serious that it was decided to state
the facts to the public.
Later it became known that Admiral
Dewey had severe illness more than a
year ago about which only his physicians
and intimates knew and that he never
had been the same physically since.
Mrs Dewey and the admiral's son,
George, jr., are with him and have been
told that the end is near.

WILL NOT TELL TERMS.
Entente Reply Forbids Such Action, Says
Zimmerman.

Berlin, Sunday, Jan. IA, by wireless Ia
the Associaed Press. via Sayville, Jan
l6-Dr Alfred Zimmerman. the German
foreign minister, informed the Associat.
ed Press to-day that, in his opinion, the
entente reply to President Wilson's peace
note bars the possibility for the present
for further German steps to bring about
peace. In particular. he said, il preclud-
ed any direct announcement by Germany
of her peace conditions in answer to the
terms set forth in the latest entente
note.
DIR. Zimmerman asserted. however.
that the answer of the entente to the
president did not finally and completely
close the door to later efforts for peace
before one side or the ether was com
plctely crushed.
The foreign minister, in the course of
a conversation last night, declared, al.
though with obvious reluctance, that it
was impossible for him to give a more
definite statement of the peace program
of the central powers than that indicated
in the declaration of DIR. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the chancellor. because the Ger
man terms were such that the unsolicit.
ed promulgation OF them iD their moder.
ate details after what he characterized
as the aspiring program of conquest and
outlined by the entente,
would be interpreted by the entente pow
ers as a sign of weakness and OF de-
sire Tor peace at any cost.

ever with the alleged leak" about the

"The putrid partisan politicians and
the putrid stock gamblers in New York

forts TO inlure the administration.

STATE FORESTER RESIGNS.
Act Was Perhaps Partially Caused B,
Gov. Graharns Program.

State Forester A. T. Hawes has re.
signed and will accept position in the
federal service. His resignati tion, which
/ is to take effect February Is. was nc
doubt brought about by the purpose OF
Governor Graham to consolidate various
Offices in the state, that of state forester
being included under the position OF
commissioner of agriculture.
In his letter of resignation to Prof
| j. l.. Hills, secretary of the board of
agriculture and forestry, Mr. Hawes
says: "Will you kindly bring before
your board my resignation as state for
ester? Early in December / accepted,
Iconditionally, the position of forester in
the United States relations service. Fol
lowing instructions from Washington
was unable to announce my acceptance
of this position.
1T is with real regret that | leave
Vermont and my many friends. There
is, however, the mitigating circumstance
that my new work will bring me here oc-
casionally.
II wish to take this occasion to ex-
press my sincere appreciation for the
active support and helpful advice which
you have always given me, and hope
in my new work of advising the states
in their forestry matters we shall con-
tinue the same pleasant relationship"
Before leaving for Washington Mr..
Hawes said he regretted that he had
not been allowed to announce his accept
ance sooner. He had no intention, he
asserted, OF being cause of embarrass-
ment TO the governor.
