WASHINGTON. Sa-pL 26. The French
ambassador, Jules J. JWierand. made
pubic today the summary of ten docu
ments drawn up by various officials ac
cusing the German soldlesw of a sys
tematic campaign of atrtK-lties. The
documents, which were placed In the
hands of Acting Secretary lAnslns;, of
the 8tate department, by the ambassador
were alao delivered to all signatories of
the Hague convention.
With the documents a letter was de
livered which explained that tltn French
government did not take the etrp with
a view of demanding any action on the
part of the United Ptates, but merely
to report to this country aa a signatory
of the Hague treaty evidence) of hoev the
treaty waa being carried out.

The statement made public by the
French ambassador follows:
By order of the government of the
French republic, a aeries of official re
port Is to the way In which the prewerat
war la being carried on in the French
territory by German troopa have been
communicated to powers who signed the
Hague convention, th? United Rates
being: one of them.
"These documents, ten in number, show
that the destructions and arnasnlnationa
which have taken place, have been sys
tematic and performed in accordance
with orders from officers and not aa a
result of an accidental lack of discipline.
"The facts quoted are given only aa
sample and not aa complete enumera
tion: they cover, moreover, only the first
tbree weeks after the beginning of hostili
ties (two weeks of actual warfurr), and
worae deeds have been committed since.
Wonaaedl Are hot.
"Such as they are, they show, among
other things, that wounded soldiers have
been finished In large numbers by shots
fired right against the face of the
wounded; that Pont-a-Mousson, an open
and undefended town, was bombarded,
the hospital, which Is itn historical build
ing, having especially Buffered; a num
ber of villages, among them Parux and
Afflevllle, have been methodically de
stroyed, house by house, soldiers being;,
as It seems, provided with Implements
enabling them to perform that kind of
work 'With a minimum of trouble; nurses
bearing conspicuously the badge of the
Red Crrss have Wen assassinated; numer
ous Inhabitants have been put to death
without pretext or provocation (among
whom at Badumvlller the wife of the
mayor) In some cases, i.otably at Billy,
on Auguet 10, the German troops, when
they marched out of the place to charge
the French troops, made the women and
children walk in front of them.
Pledgre of Indemnity.
"Attention la called, as regards such
deeds, to two text.

Hague, which was proposed by the Ger
man delegates themselves, states that J
the belligerents, who might cause such
destruction as those mentioned above,
would bo bound to Indemnify the Inter

his army.
"In the second place, even if civilians
had taken up arms on the invasion of
'French territory by the Germans, which
was nowhere the case, Uiey would have
been within their rights and the killing
of them wholesale wound have been un
defendable, for article IV of the aama
convention reserves to the population of

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.
