The admiralty has published an offi cial list of the survivors of the cruisers Abouklr. Creasy and Hogue, sunk In the North Sea by a German submarine. This list, with the sixty officers previously reported safe, brings the total of sur vivors up to 839. This, based on unoffi cial calculations, would leave a death list of about 1,400. as each cruiser car ried a complement of over 700 men. barf) Change la Weather. Weather condltiona, which were excep tionally favorable to military operations during the first six weeks of the war, have now changed radically and are In the main responsible for the lull prevail ing In all the war areas, with the excep tion of the combined Montenegrin and Servian assault on the coveted provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Accompanying the reports of bad weather comes the ominous news of the presence of disease. Hungary has ac. knowledged an outbreak of cholera among Its troopa and while It Is denied officially, the same scourge la said to have at tacked the Servian troops. General epidemics of milder diseases may be ex pected In the western battle area where the troops on both sides, drenched by rain, are lying In flooded trenches. The opeiTtlons In Alsace-Lorraine are saJd to ha. come to a complete stop on account of snowstorms. Rain and floods are reported also from the scene of the Galiclan operations and probably ac count for the cessation of the Russian at tack on the retreating Austrlans. Storm condltiona wlU Interfere greatly with motor traports, and troops taking the offensive may be Breatly handicapped by inability to bring up their artillery. Slea-e Umnm Taken. Several of the great German siege guns, probably destined for use against the fortifications of Paris, have fallen into the hands of the enemy, having been stuck in the mud when the Germans be gan their retirement from the Marne. The French are now digging this artil lery out, but the same cause which led to their abandonment may prevent the allies turning them on their former owners. WASHINGTON, Sept. K.-At the direc tion of President Wilson, Secretary the I Tumulty today wrote a letter to New Jersey democrats, declining to have them endorse the president for a second term. Secretary Tumulty's letter waa to Ed ward E. Grosscup, state treasurer of New Jersey. It follows: "You were generous enough to consult me ae to whether th democrats of New Jersey should at this time elndorse the president for a second term. I had a talk with the president about It and he deeply appreciates the generosity of the suggestion; 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 an If he were taking advantage of the extraordinary situation now existing to gain some per sonal advantage through such an expres sion of confidence by them. "This would be Inconsistent with his whole thought and spirit and he shrinks from Its aa 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 appreciation." It was understood the president decMed not to allow the New Jersey democrats to endorse him for a second term be cause he believed It would look as though he were seeking rcnomlnatlon. His al titude, however, was not taken oy friends here to mean that ho has decided not to accept a rcnomlnatlon If It Is offered to him. Democrats In other states have re cently endorsed him for a second term and no objection was made at the White House. As outlined by the presidents friends. Mr. Wilson's position Is that he is not considering the question of a second term at this time and that future events will determine his stand.
