WILSON T0 WED IN DEGEMBER (Continued From First Page.) cabinet, government officials and friends of the President telephoned and sent cards to the White House conveying their congratulations. Mr. Wilson was kept busy all morning at- tending to personal matters growing out of the announcement of his en- gagemet. No Detailed Arrangement. It was said that no detailed ar- rangement had been made yet for the wedding. One of Mrs. Galt’s broth- ers probably will give her away. Be- cause of the smallness of Mrs. Galt’s home, the wedding party will be nec- essarily limited to a small group. The fact that the President of the United States, on whom the eyes of the world have frequently been focussed in the last few months of the European war had decided to marry again, gave the national capital a topic of absorbing interest which, for the moment, overshadowed all Guestions of international or domestic rolitics. News Came as Surprise. The news came as a surprise to all but a few intimate friends who knew that the friendship of the president for Mrs. Galt had developed into an intimacy that presaged marriage. That Mrs. Galt had become a com- panion of the president was known, however, in official and society circles, because she appeared frequently with him not only on rhotor rides but at baseball games. Close friends who watched the friendship develop ex- pressed today, their pleasure at its culmination, not only because of the personal happiness of the president hut because it meant a change from a life of loneliness and unvaried oécu- pation to an atmosphere of helpful companionship. His incessant labor alone in the ‘White House during the period of mourning had affected his spirits. When he began to take a renewed interest in personal affairs his friends roted immediately a change for the better in his health and the energies with which he attacked tremendous, problems before him, Woman of Rare Beauty. Mrs. Galt is regarded as a woman of rare beauty and charm. Those who have known her best predicted today that she would be, as the first lady of the land, a popular hostess as well as a comfort and support to the president in his daily work. Mrs. Galt is about thirty-eight years of age, youthful in appearance and sim- She is the widow of ple in her tastes. of a well known business man who died eight years She was married in 1896. Be- fore that she was Miss Edith Bolling of Wytheville, Va. A Her father was 'Wm., H. Bolling, a lawyer of distinction. Friend of Daughter. It was Miss Margaret Wilson and her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew Mrs. Galt into the White House cir- cle. ?hey met her first in the early autu of last vear and were so much ' attracted by her, that they sought her out more and more fre- quently, and the friendship between them, rapidly ripened into an affec- tionate intimacy. Mrs: Galt spent a month this sum- mer at Cornish, as the house guest of the president’s oldest daughter, Tt was through this intimacy of his daughter and cousin that the presi- dent had an opportunity to meet and know Mrs. Galt. One of the most significant facts about the engagement, indeed, as told by friends, is that the president’s daughters should have chosen Mrs. Galt for their admiration and their friendship before their father did. President’s Lonely Life. With the marriage of his two dzughters and the death of Mrs. Wil- son, more than a year ago, th® presi- dent’s life had become one of soli- tude. His absorption in official labors began to tell on him physically, and when, a few months ago, he began to take a renewed interest in personal affairs, his friends and the members of the family welcomed the beneficial change which was brought about in his health and spirits. Last night, at the end of a busy day for the president, during which he announced that he would vote for woman suffrage, took a firm position in favor of national defense and re- ceived a number of callers, Mrs. Galt was a dinner guest at the White House. TEUTONIC FORGES INVADE SERBIA (Continued From First Page.) mies concentrated against Serbia com- prise a total of 400,000 men. The German announcement indi- cates that the invading movement is in progress along a large part of the boundary between Austria and Serbia.

Paris, Oct. 7, 9 a. m.—A special to the Petit Journal, from Athens says the rupture between King Constantine and M. Venizelos followed a visit of the German minister to the king im- mediately after the session of cham- Ler at which Venizelos outlined the policy he expected Greece to follow. No Real Accord. Athens, Oct. 7, Via. London, 2;38 p. m.—“There has been no real ac- cord between King Constantine and myself since I resumed the premier- ship,” former Premier Venizelos told Greek deputies and other friends after his return with the king. “The only subject upon which we were in full accord,” he added, “was the mobilization of the Green forces in view of Bulgaria's equivocal atti- tude.” Break With Bulgaria. London, Oct. 7, 1:03 p. m.—The al- lies having broken off diplomatic re- lations with Bulgaria, news is mom- entarily expected of that nation's ac- tive participation in the war on the side of the central powers. King Constantine and the late leader of the Greek government being at odds, a coalition cabinet is being formed, pending the construction of which the policy of the Athens gov- ernment will be obscure. There are no misgivings in England, however, that she will cooperate in any way with Bulgaria. The cabinet crisis has in no manner impeded tne landing of allied troops at Saloniki, and the fact that these forces are on Greek soil is considered the hest guarantee that Greece ultimately must align herself with the entente powers, with which premier-elect Zaimis is in sympathy. General Russian Recovery. Champagne in the west and Dvinsk in the east, are now the scenes of the struggles most likely to bring de- cisive results. The Germans still are concentrating against Dvinsk evi- dently bent on a supreme effort to take the city. The Russians, how- ever, are delivering hard blows all along the line, and the British and French press professes to see a gen- eral Russian ‘recovery,” for which the activities of the allies in the west are given credit. Capture by the French of the vil- lage and hill of Tahure is a success of considerable local importance. The hill although less than 200 feet high, was one of the most important Ger- man positions in that sector. On most of the remainder of the French front there is still in progress the violent canonading which usually precedes infantry attacks. French Lose Heavily. Berlin, Oct. 7. via London, 4 p. m. —Renewed fighting of great severity in the Champagne was reported in the announcement from ary head- quarters. Six massed intantry at- tacvks by the French northwest of Souain broke down, the war office states, with very heavy losses to the attackers.

Others Ask For Passports. Sofia, Oct. 5, via Paris, Oct. 6, 11:55 p. m.—The Russian, French, British and Italian ministers 'have asked for their passports, Bulgaria's answer to the Russian ultimatum being unsatisfactory.

Y.—Comment in the morn- ing newspaper on the Balkan situa- tion is summarized by the Overseas News agency as follows: “The Vossische Zeitung notes that the entente powers in occupying Lemnos and Tendos (In the Aegean Sea) entered upon what might be called doubtful territory, but declares that at Saloniki they have touched what beyond doubt is Greek soil, The newspaper makes a compari- son of this act with the British atti- tude in the case of Belgium. “The Deutsche Tages Zeitung points out that the Balkans are considered by Great Britain as a fortress of which she wishes to make use for the protection of here Egyptian posses- ,sions during the prosecution of the campaign in the Dardanelless This campaign is declared to have been a great failure because of the brave de- fense of their soil by the heroic Tur- kish troops. The Tages Zeitung ar- gues that the British idea was that the landing at Saloniki would attract new allies, but the newspaper doubts whether Great Britain and France will find their opinions justified in this re- spect. i “The Boerson Courier declares that Russia assisted the Balkan states only so long as they were obedient to her and served the purposes of Russian diplomacy working for the conquest of Constantinople. The Balkan states, it holds, now must decide whether they shall be vassels of sovereign states. It considers the war to be en- tering upon a new and important phase.” AWAITS DECLARATION OF WAR. Bulgaria Expects Decree From Allies at Any Moment. Berlin, Oct. 7, by wireless to Say- ville, N. Y.—“Bulgaria awaits today a declaration of war from the allies,” says a despatch from Budapest to the Lokal Anzeiger, as given out here to- day by the Overseas News Agency. “Premler Radoslavoff had a long con- ference with the German, Austro- Hungarian and Turkish diplomatic representatives, while the British charge a affaires, on calling, was received by the first secretary. The allies are much disappointed.” A Geneva despatch to the news agency says: “The plan for landing French troops at Saloniki was based upon the report of the French gin- ister at Athens that the position of Premier Venizelos was unshakable. This report won over the British for- eign secretary, Sir Edward Grey- La- ter, however, Sir Edward was inform- ed as to the real situation.” GREAT WHEAT CROP.
