Vare will bo ! candidate for Mayor, nnd an announce ment of his candidacy probably will be made within a few days, according to friends of tho Vares In this city, Wash ington nnd Atlantic City His candidacy would mean n bitter fight In tho Itcepub llcan Organization, similar to that of 1011, when factlonnl disputes resulted In the election of Rudolph Blankcnburg. The downtown Congressman held a long conference In Washington, D. C, yesterday with Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of La bor. The conference was apparently confidential, ns neither Vnre nor Qom pcrs would discuss It afterwards, The .understanding among Vare followers Is, however, that the Congressman s own la bor record was thoroughly 'gone Into nnd the probable support of tho Philadelphia labor organizations was discussed. Upon his return to Philadelphia, and Inter last night,, when ho reached Atlantic City, Congressman Vans refused to make any statement. At tho shoro he called upon City Chair man David H. Lnno. but Lnno was out. Tho report spread among his friends In Atlantic City that an announcement of Vare's candidacy would be mado within three days, and thnt It would be made from the Congressman's summer homo In Chelsea. "I must dedlnn to discuss the matter nt this time," was all that Congressman vnre would say in regard to the reports. Senator Vare today also refused to say anything About them. Congressman Vare would not deny that he will bo n pandidnte, although he would not admit It, Ho was In Philadelphia un til noon yesterday, and then quietly went to- Washington to .hold his conference with Gompers. 'DId our -visit to Mr Gompers have tany reference to tho Mayoralty sltua- ttlonT" he was asked " "1 cannot discuss that." was the reply. "Are you a candidate for the Repub lican nomination for Mayor?" "I have nothing to Bay," answered Vare. "I had a friendly chat with Mr. Oumoera .and, that Is tho only statement I care to mnuc. The "friendly chat" also concerned Gov ernor Brumbaugh, according to Gompers. He said that Brumbaugh and the labor legislation Brumbaugh sponsored during the last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature nero talked over. It Is be lieved that thlB part of their talk was a preliminary "feeler" for the labor sup- mp uruuiiuugn presiuentlal UAItnisnunO, July HV-Btalo High way Cotnmlssioner Cunningham hai opened negotiations with a number of turnpike companies, Including that con trolling six miles of tho Chester nnd Darby pike, with the object of securing offers for their purchase by the Btnte Highway Department. The turnpikes selected are the ones considered most Important In tho Sproul system of high ways nnd It Is the intention of the de partment to acquire theso properties so that no turnpikes will exist on Btate hlghwas. The appropriation for 1915 and 1516 for the purchase of turnpikes is J23O,O0O. Com missioner Cunningham believes that It wilt be possible to make considerable progress In the purchase of these turn pikes If the counties through which they pass furnish tho light co-operation and, possibly, financial assistance to the State iilghnay Department In acquiring tnc properties, When prices which are regarded as ex cessive arc placed on properties by the turnpike companies the Stnte Highway Department contemplates either tho con struction of roads paralleling tho turn pikes nnd connecting with the Stnte high ways nt each end or diverting tho money from that county to bo used for the pur chnsa of turnpikes In other countries whne a disposition to piny fnlr with the department Is manifested.

"WASHINGTON, July I7.-General Za pata's army, driven from Mexico City and retreating southward, has been routed by pursuing Carranza troops In the valley below the capital, according to a dispatch from General Carrnnza to his agency here. The message dated ut Vera Cruz yesterday follows: "I nm -Informed by General C,onznfi that Generals Coss, Zeepeda, Sanchez, Garcia and Mnchucn, nnd Colonels Munez Flores and Gomez have routed the Zapa tistas at Contrerna, causing them to Iobo ECO men, capturing five locomotives, a large number of box cars, nine cannon, over 100,000 rounds of ammunition, two machine guns, several cases of cannon shells, tho entire hospital service and a large quantity of mixed merchandise.

Twelve million men aro now under arms In Europe, according to the latest esti mates. The United States could raise, It Is esti mated, after a lapse of months following tho declaration of hostilities, a volunteor army of 1,000,000 jnon. That number would require 35,000 officers to handle It. Thora Is no class of persons In the country who have had tho training to fit them for of ficers of volunteers amounting to any- tnlng like that number. The Government Is attempting to remedy this latter defect by the system of summer camps for col lege and business men, such as the one that will be held at Plattsburg, N. Y during the month of August. Beyond a million volunteers many be lieve that this country would have great difficulty obtaining additional recruits. They back up their contention with his torical facts. In the War of the Revolu tion, according to them, the colonies at tho beginning had an army of approxi mately 80,000 men. At its close 29.000 men wero enrolled nnd It had been Impos sible for months to get more. During tho War of 1812 an Invading force of British burned the capltol at Washington opposed by a wretchedly Inadequate defensive force, the largest available, mainly be cause the United States, In order to Ret apy volunteers at all, hod to confine the enlistment to three months.

CITT TAKES STEPS, In Philadelphia, to remedy tho above conditions, two plans aro under foot. One Is the formation of a branch of the Na tional Security League here and the other Is the introduction of military training In ths high schools, as proposed by Dr. Jos eph Leldy. Tho object of the league Is to prepare the nation against attack, and branches have already been established In Boston and Chicago. The local branch of tho league will bo organized next Thursday at a meeting In the Racquet Club. Men of national promi nence are expoctea to speaK, Tho plan to establish a branch here was brought about by a visit of E, Woodward Duke, the national secretary, and William McComb, tho field secretary. These men have been In consultation with represen tative Phlladclphlans who aro much Inter ested In tho work. Tho military training plan for the Cen tral High School, for which Doctor Leldy has offered J1000, provided 100 Phlladel phlans will each contribute a similar amount, has received a strong endorse ment from Major General Leonard Wood, United States Army, stationed at nm.r. nor's Island. "I believe thoroughly." said General Wood, "in military training n high schools, and believe that you will bo very fortunate If you are able to establish It In the high schools of Philadelphia, especially If ypu can secure an ortlcer of the army to supervise the Instructions." Doctor Leldy, when he made the offer a few dayB ngo, asserted that military training is as beneficial to those taking It as Is participation In athletics, .
