Scarcity of coal and wood in
France has forced the general
headquarters of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces to limit the
amount of fuel for cooking and
heating purposes both for the

behind the line. For the approach

stated in her letter of resignation,
but am now feeling that 1 would

MeAdoo Answers Letter.
Secretary McAdoo personally wrote
her a letter in acceptance OF her
resignation. In Il he says:
ALLOW me to acknowledge receipt
Of your letter Of the 18th instant. Of
fering your resignation from the posi-
tion which you have held so long and
so faithfully in the Treasury Depart
ment
4 cannot let this occasion pass
without expressing to you my very
high appreciation of the ability and
fidelity with which you have per
formed the duties of your position
throughout the entire period Of more
than half a century, during which you
have been a valued employe Of this
department.
your duties have always been dis
charged with exemplary care and ac-
curacy. and your fidelity and pune
tuality are also worthy Of the highest
commendation. Your last promotion,
well earned. I had the pleasure of ap-
proving in February OF last year.
Forty Years With Pay.
The records show that in the past
forty years, or since 1879. you have
never for a single day been absent
without pay from your post Of duty.
The books of the Treasury also
show that for the past thirteen con.
secutive years, or since 1905, you have
not lost a single day from sickness
but have, in fact in these years
given to the government. a portion Of
the annual leave to which you were
entitled For thirty-fve years OF
service you were not absent a day on
account OF sickness, and what is
more unusual and indeed truly extra
ordinary, the records indicate that
you have never been late in arriving
at the Treasury once throughout the
past half century. Such unprecedent-
ed promptness is exceedingly credit
able to you, and you have set an
example which is worthy of emula-
ton by all
Il earnestly hope that you may
spend the remainder Of your long and
useful life in comfortable and happy
repose, and that you may live to wit
ness the triumph Of our armies in
the great war which is now waging,
and the establishment OF permanent
peace on earth.
Again offering you my cordial
best wishes, in which I am sure all
Of your co-laborers in the Treasury
Department will heartily join, I re-
main.

Jim" Nugent. the so-caled Demo-

day bv. Joseph p. Tumulty, of New Jer-
sey. secretary to President Wilson
This yarn about Jim Nugent being
called in to direct the Presidents fight
for additional Democratic representation
in Congress from New Jersey is all non
sense, and purely an effort BY the Re
publicans to infect factional strife into
our campaign in the State, which Is
going along nicely said Secretary
Tumulty.

wits ED for issues in Jeresy' and are
getting desperate; they plainly see the
jig is up and are starting up the cry
of bossism' in our ranks in order to
help their own campaign" continued Mr..
TumuHy.
THE campaign in the Presidents
State is in excellent hands Charles
Mcdonald. of Monmouth County. the
State chairman. and Thomas S. Martin.
the vice chairman, are excellent party
managers and men of the highest class.
There is no need for assistance from
