from M.dia, on the Black sea, to Enos,
On the Aegean sea. This would give
Bulgaria both banks of the river Mar

tine since the Ohio river started 10
rise, two weeks ago, a decided reces-
sion of water was visible today. The
gauge stood well below 54.7, the mark
which was passed early last night The
fall here is believed to have been caus-
ed by the breaking of the levee at
Point Pleasant, Mo, although that
could not be verified here. Il is the
belief that 81. Francis bottoms are
being flooded on account of this break
and If this is the case all danger has
been ended as lar as Cairo is con-
Cerned
\ telephone message told of the
break, and very soon the current in
the river here became stronger, max
ing it plain to old-time river men that
break occurred at some place fur
Jher south.

women OF Washington to the number
of $50 today welcomed the wives Of
President Wilson, Vice President Mar
shall and members of the Wilson cab
met at a formal breakfast. Elimination
of wine from the menu was the result Of
a campaign which caused feeling to
run high. Members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, who oc-
cupied one of the tables, were active
in the campaign.
MANY LEFT OUT.
While $50 women were satisfied be
cause they were invited to the break
fast, at least that many more not in
vited are today in rather disturbed
frame OF mind. AS originally planned
the breakfast was to have been eX-
clusively for democratic women. The
plan was changed, however, and as a
result scores Of women whose hus-
bands are in the councils of President
Wilson's party were left off the list as
accommodation were limited.
SPEECHES ABSENT.
Another innovation was the total
absence of speeches. Not even an
address of welcome to Mrs. Wilson
graced the program. Instead an illus
trated lecture Of White house furni
ture by Mrs. Abbie Gunnbaker follow
/ ed the breakfast Mrs. Champ Clark
was invited, but did not attend be
cause Of a previous engagement. Her
