PRESIDENTS FRIENDS PREPAR
ING To'liAUNCH ACTIVE
CAMPAIGN WORK.
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record writes . his
paper that the campaign for Presi
dent . Wilson for renominafion may
now properly be said to be under
way. Tangible evidences that Mr.
Wilson's confidential political advis
ers have reached the conclusion that
the time has" come' for them to make
preliminary moves looking toward
the actual launching of his candidacy
are now in hand. These evidences
are sufficiently definite to shbw that
these advisers of Mr. Wilson will
have no uncertainty as to his atti
tude toward the second term princi
ple and his purposes in regard to the
presidential nomination at the next
Democratic national convention.
" The first movement in this direct
tion was made several week's ago,
when friends of the president brought
about the election of National Com
mitteeman Fred B. Lynch, of Min
nesota, to the chairmanship of the
executive committee of the Demo
cratic national committee. It was
well understood at the time that Mr.
Lynch would be a prominent figure
in the direction of the Wilson dandi
dacy should the president decide to
make the fight. Eugene E. Reed, of
New Hampshire, will soon be select
ed as chairman of the finance com
mittee of the national committee.
At the behest of Senator Ollie
James, the Kentucky Democratic
state convention adopted the follow
ing resolution:
"We believe that his "mastery of
thei situation (referring to the 'Eu
ropean waf) requires his nomination
in 1916, and heartily indorse him as
the party's efficient and trusted lead
er in the coming national election,
believing that patriots, without re
gard to the party, recognize Wood
row Wilson as the one man best suit
ed to bear the burden aud perform
the herculean task now confronting
the president of the United States."
Senator Ollie James stands high in
the councils of those who stand near
est . the political plans of Prer.idenr
Wilson. It may be stated upon ade
quate authority that the president's
confidential advisers knew of and ap
proved in advance Senator James'
plan to bring about an indorsement
of Mr. Wilson at the hands of the
Kentucky convention.
A week ago the Democrats of the
tenth district of Wisconsin adopted
a resolution "with reference to the
1916 nomination," indorsing the
Wilson adnfinistration.
The attitude now taken by Mr. Wil
son's advisers in this respect is in
marked contrast to that assumed by
them a year ago. September 2 2.
1914, Secretary Tumulty wrote to
Democratic State Chairman Gross-
cup, of New Jersey, at the president's
direction, to head off a movement
which was known to be under way
to indorse Mr. Wilson for renomina
tion at that time.
Secretary Tumulty in the Grosscup
letter declared that the president
feared such an indorsement given at
that time in the critical days which
followed the outbreak of the war, by
the Democrats of Mr. Wilson's home
state, might be attributed to a will
ingness on the president's part to de
rive advantage from the extraordi
nary conditions then existing; The
president would shrink from such a
construction, declared the private
secretary, and be begged that the in
dorsement be withheld.
It is believed that from this time
on the political friends of Mr. Wilson
will be found increasingly active in
obtaining for him indorsements on
the part of Democratic committees
and other party organizations as they
assemble. With the meeting of the
next national convention less than a
year away, the president's managers
realize that the tjme is near at hand
when they must frankly set the ma
chinery in motion that will bring
about his renomination without fric
tion in the party.
Despite the disposition of William
Jennings Bryan to insist upon the
one term declaration of the Balti
more platform, the friends of Mr.
Wilson are confident that the great
majority of tlie rank and file of the
Democratic party will demand his
unanimous renomination. Political
advisers generally realize that Mr.
Wilson, because of his success in
dealing with the German crisis, is
far stronger than his party, political
ly, and there are no indications that
important opposition will be madeito
his renomination.
Thf? president's managers intend to
pitch his candidacy upon the highest
possible plane. They will ppint to his
success in keeping the country out, of
the European war without sacrificing
its rights or its honor, as the most
conspicuous achievement of any pres
ident since Lincoln As far as can
be learned ther wilL endearxyrV to
make the president's diplomatic" suc
cess the keynote of his campaign.

. -Onpof the markedtefttujfiBaof the
European conflict that distinguishes
It from the wars'of the 'parc&the ab
sence of smoke on tne firing lines.
&wing to -ttoailttwi afji)$es P"
der no smoke is made when a rifle is
discharge
lery throws off nothing morethan a
thinVist that is invisible X 00 yards
away and disappears, within a few
seconds after a gun is fired.
' Only when shrapnel or a shell ex
plodes in the enemy's lines is there
anything visible in the way of smoke,
tlie whole purpose being to condeal
the position of the guns throwing the
projectiles and yet makfr the points
where the projectiles explode clearly
visible. The expression'The smoke
of battle," so faithfully descriptive of
the wars of the past, has little mean
ing when applied to a modern war.
The so-called smokeless powders
used in modern guns are not entirely
smokeless, but are sufficiently so for
all practical purposes. When gun
powder explodes, something like half
of its substance takes the form of
finely divided solids, and it is this
that causes the dense smoke result
ing from the explosion.
Practically all of a modern pro
pellant, and by this term is meant
the smokeless powder used for pro
pelling the projectile from the gun,
is, on the contrary, converted into a
true gas. In modern warfare every
precaution is taken to keep the loca
tion of a battery hidden from the
enemy, for artillery fire has become
so accurate that when a position is
once known there is little difficulty
in raining shells on it.
In addition to their smokeless fea
ture, the modern projellants have
enormously greater power than gun
powder. In the days of the Civil war
the distance between the opposing
lines , was seldom more than a mile,
and it is said that the average dis
tance was considerably less than this
in the battle of Gettysburg. The ef
fective range of modern artillery
varies with tne caliber of the gun
and ranges ordinarily from 2,000 to
12,000 or 15,000 yards. The three
inch field gun used in the United
States army can be sighted up to
6,500 yards, or nearly four miles,
while the new field piece now being
made is designed to have an effective
range of six miles. In the European
war most of the artillery engage
ments are fought- at a range of more
than four miles.
Since shrapnel is designed to burst
in the air and rain its bullets on the
troops at whom it is aimed, it fs nep
essary for the officer directing the
fire to see just where the shells ex
plode. For this reason the shrapnel
shell contains, in addition to the high
explosive, a smoke-producing charge
that forms a matrix in which the
shrapnel balls are imbedded. When
the time fuse sets off the bursting
charge in the base of the shell, this
matrix ignites and produces a ball of
whit smoke that serves as a marker
easily visible to the officer directing
the fire.
The gases thrown out by a burst
ing projectile are often poisonous,
but the possibility of injury from tnis
cause is considered negligible except
when the explosion takes places in an
inclosure that tends to confine the
gases.
Expects to Live 150 Years.
Dr. Wu Tingfang, well known in
America as the former Chinese min
ister to Washington, has just cele
brated his seventy-fourth birthdav
and boasts that a vegetarian diet
keeps him in such splendid condition
that he expects to live one hundred
and fifty to two hundred years. Doc
tor Wu lives in Shanghai, where his
son, Wu Chao-Chu, who is an adviser
to President Yuan Shakai, visited
him according to old Chinese cus
tom onthe occasion of his birthday.
The younger Wu, who speaks Eng
lish with an English accent, having
been educated in England, is a prom
inent man in the palace of President
Yuan. Being a barrister-at-law, he
was a" member of the famous consti
tution drafting committee which of
fended Yuan Shikai by refusing to
hear his opinions on wlrat the con
stitution of the Chinese republic
should be. It will be remembered
that Yuan Shikai then found reasons
for dissolving the republican Par
liament. Many of the members found
it expedient to escape from Peking,,
but, young Wu, like a number of
other prominent men, decided, to
make peace with Yuan Shikai and
work with him fos the unification
and development of the' country.'

Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltf more,
the highest dignitary of the Catholic
church in this country, called on
President Wilson Thursday with a
message of hop forpea;to';uroiJ-
to President Wilson from Pope Ben
"edict. It "was a caolegrsttn praising
the president's jattitude and indicat
ing a helief that the United States
might be in a position to help in
bringing the European war to an end.
After reading the message, the
cardinal remained an hour with the
president, discussing the possibility
of peae and the world situation gen
erally. He emerged smiling andT
walked over to the state department
for a conference with Secretary Lan
sing. Later he announced he had
talked peace with the president and
told him of his gratification over the
apparent success of the negotiations
with Germany over submarine war
fare. He spoke cheerfully of the sit
uation, saying the prospects for
peace seemed to be brightening. .
The text of the pope's message was
not made public, nor was there any
formal comment on it from the White
House. Unofficially, however, it was
said that the president was much
pleased with the message arid with
the interview. It was understood
that the pope made no definate sug
gestion as to a peace movement, and
that his message was purely a per
sonal one to President Wilson and
not addressed to the heads of other
neutral governments,
Diplomats representing the bellig
erent nations reserved comment on
the conference until more definite in
formation has been given but. It was
pointed out that many political ques
tions, including the maintenance of
the neutrality of the Balkans, and the
establishment of a separate Polish
kingdom would be involved in the
discussion of peace at this time.
The president's offer or the ser
vices of the United States to the bel
ligerents still stands open, and he has
reiterated several times that he is
anxious to do everything possible in
that direction. Whether he will take
any further steps without hearing
directly from any of the powers in
volved has not been made clear.
News dispatches from abroad re
cently discussing the possibility of
peace have been given the president's
earnest attention, and American dip
lomats in Europe have standing di
rections to communicate anything re
ceived on the subject to the presi
dent. In Mr. Wilson's private study

Brownsville, Tex., Sept. 2. The
bullet-riddled bodies of two Ameri
cans who were .kidnaped early today
by Mexican bandits' twelve miles
north of here, were found tonight in
the bed of a dried lake.
They were Earl Donaldson, a farm
er, and an engineer named Smith,
engaged in concrete construction
work on an irrigation canal.
The Mexican band to which was
ascribed the burning of the railroad
trestle north-of here last night today
was held responsible for the kidnap
ing of Donaldson and Smith and a
third American, and the burning of
a pumping station. The third Ameri
can kidnaped, a contractor named
Dodson, managed to escape. v
At the Fresno irrigation canal
the bandits yesterday fired probably
a score of shots at Perry Clerk, an
American land clearing contractor,
but none took effect.
A Mexican who talked to members
of the band said they were trying to
force the Mexican population of this
section to join them.
