Longest Climb in Alps.
Although the ascent OF Mount Blanc
offers no greater dangers than that OF
some other Swiss mountains, it has the
name of being the longest and most
exhausting climb in the Alps. While
such peaks as the Matterhorn and
the ChamoniX Augilles are so formed
that no great quantities of snow can
cling to their sides, and consequently
present for the most part merely dan
gers incident to rock climbing, Mount
Blanc, from its peculiar formation, is
almost wholly buried in its upper
reaches in snow and glacier, so that
crevasses and avalanches and all
other dangers peculiar to snow-climb-
ing are constant menace to the
climber. The extreme cold and rar-
ity Of the air as you approach the
summit are also serious obstacles. The
equipment for the two days journey
consists Of ice-aXes, hob-nailed boots,
wooden legglns and gloves, mountain
caps which cover the face and protect
it from blistering, dark glasses with
wire sides to protect the eyes COM
pletely from the glare of the sun, and
a goodly supply of provisions-for you
would be surprised at an Alpine appe-
tite. The guide himself brings long
coil of rope, almost 100 feet in length,
slung over his shoulder.
Ten thousand feet above the sea Is
an island of rock projecting from the
snow. A tiny chatlet has been built
here, where the climber can spend the
night sleeping in good bed. The
J little chatlet is leased to a man and
his wife, a most woebegone couple,
whose detected looks eloquently be-
speak the solitude of their lives amid
these eternal SHOWS, where the ther-
mometer each night stands at zero.
ITri-weekly two hardy porters alternate
in bringing up supplies from Cham
onix, and they certainly earn their
few francs a day. No wonder a glass
of water costs twenty centimes, even
II it be melted snow, for every billet
of wood has to be brought from Cham
onix, seven hours below"

From Enemy Ships

HALIFAX, N. s., Aug. accomplishing in
four days and ten hours It's fastest and
most dramatic voyage across the Atlantic,
the mammoth Cunard liner Mauretania,
from Liverpool for New York, arrived at
Halifax today with 2,4O0 passengers, most
of whom were Americans fleeing from
war-raNaged Europe.
Passengers and mails viii be landed
here and sent by fast trains TO New York
and other cities in the United States and
Canada
At II 30 o'clock Wednesday night, while
off Sable Island the Mauretania was
warned by the British cruiser Essex to
change it's course without delay and head
for Halifax The helm was shifted SO
quickly that many passengers, jolted by
the shock as the ship heeled sharply, be-
lieved the steamer was turning turtle
Under the highest pressure Of its tur-
bine engines, with all ports blanketed and
not light showing, It sped over the four
teen miles that lay between it and safety
from German cruisers. Behind ii came
the Essex. whose searchlights could be
seen flashing at night across the horizon
as 1t scanned the waters for the enemy.
The Manretania's passengers were not
officially informed OF what had occurred.
They have received no intimation of the
declaration Of war.
The Mauretania sailed from Liverpool
at 1855 p. m. August I, amid the utmost
excitement Many would-be passengers

moment the big liner left British shores
the officers were on the alera and Halifax
was held In mind as an alternative port

PARIS, Aug. 6 (4:5O p. m.)---of-

battle continues to rage around Liege
this afternoon. The German shell
fire has reduced two OF the Liege
forts, but the Belgians continue to
resist with untiring energy.
The German were able to use their
light siege guns against the forts OF
Liege, which are thirty years old.
Two OF them were silenced and the
German columns broke through. The
other forts are holding out. The
Belgbans are making determined
resistance before the city.
The situation at Llege, according

whether its advance could be de-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, wife of the presi-
dent of the United States, died at the
White House today at 8 p. m. of "a
complication of diseases.
When the president recovered
from the first shock of his wife's
death he sent several kilograms to i'm
mediate relatives and sent word to
Secretary Tumulty to express his ap-
probation of the many condolences
which poured in.
A pail of gloom settled over the
White House. All shades we're
drawn and everyone talked in
whispers. Mrs. Wilson was particu-
larly beloved by all servants and en-
pIoyee about the White House. None
of them made any effort to hide
their deep grief.
Mrs. Wilson had been unconscious
for varying periods since Monday.
and while her condition was known
to her intimate friends, news of it
was not generally circulated until no
hopes we're entertained for her re-
covery.
Children Summoned.
So serious had Mrs. Wilson's condition
become during the last few days that her
children were summoned to her bedside
and they were with her at the end.
The end came after two serious sink
ing spells. The president and her three
daughters and Francis B. Sayre were at
the bedside at the end.
The president was completely pros
trated when his wife died and broke
down entirely. When Secretary Tumulty
entered the executive offices to tell the
waiting newspaper men his cheeks were
bathed in tears
Repeated consultations of medical advis-
ers did not succeed in discovering methods
of saving the distinguished patient. Oxy-
gen and other artificial stimulants had
been used for two days.
Not Out for Weeks.
Mrs. Wilson had not been out OF the
White House for three weeks, her last
outdoor visit having been to the White
House gardens, in which she took deep
interest. Her death came as a great
shock to the many friends she has made
s,pce she came to Washington. number
