MRS. VIM. G. MADoo IN BRIDAL GOWN

Washington, May s.--The bridal
gown of Miss Eleanor Wilson, daugh-
ter of the president, who yesterday
became Mrs. William G. McAdoo,
wife of the secretary Of the treasury,
and some of the other gowns Of her
wedding trousseau, were autnorlta-
lively described after the ceremony
had been concluded.
The bridal gown was made or ivory
white satin and trimmed with real old
point lace. This charming creation
was the principal part of trousseau
made by Fifth avenue modistes. The
bodice was softly draped with satin,
which crosses in front, and is brought
to point below the shoulders, front
and back. The "V'' shaped neck is
long mousquetaire sleeves are made
of tulle. The real old point lace is
gracefully draped over the right
shoulder to the left side Of the waist
and is fastened with spray OF
orange blossoms; the lace then con-
tinues as a border to the long trans
parent tuntc Of tulle, which graduates
to the side Of the skirt at the train.
The long sweeping train Is three and
one-half yards in length. A cap ef-
feet bridal wreath, especially execut-
ed with orange blossoms and long.
draped veil, was very effective.
Much interest was shown in the real
old point lace used on the gown. It
Is a masterpiece and a work OF art in
lace making. Unique in design and
perfect in execution, 1t Is said this
famous art treasure, which is part of
a world famed collection, may find its
place as an antique In a national coll
lection.
The three piece going away dress
was made of corbeau blue gabardine.
The coat Is of corbeau blue charmeu@e
and gabardine. The front and upper
part Of the back Of the coat Is Of
charmeuse. The back Is gathered at

rules, apL ears, therefore, largely to de-
pend on th9 construction of the infor-
NAL understanding that it was assum-
ed hostiIittes would be suspended ex-
cept to repel attack.
Leading authorities on internationRl
law hold an armistice, truce, or sus-
pension of hOstlities, should be defin-
ite and exact. One of the leading au
thorities, Halleck says:
Such a general suspension of hos
tllities only can be made by the SOW
ereignty of the state, either directly or
by authority specially delegated. Such
authority is never implied and the en-
emy is bound to see that the agent is
specially euttoriZed to bind his prin-
cipal."
1t was authoritatively learned from
a source close to the mediators that
they are Of the opinion that they will
be able to pursuade Huerta that the
United States has not been violat-
ing, in spirit at least, the armstico
agreed upon. Otherwise a stumbling
block may be placed in the ENJOYS
way, which might render virtually
useless their further efforts at Mcdi-
alton. The note from Huerta, it was
learned, was sent day before yester-
day.
The mediators themselves refused
to comment on the matter, but it is
known that they are proceeding with
their peace plans as If nothing unto
ward had occurred.
In connection with the military
preparations for d possible forward
movement, it became known that the
offici5ls Of the war department have
been in long distance telephone COM
muniCatiOns with governors of New
York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, in the
effort to determine how soon the
militia organizations of those states
could be modified and sent to the
seaboard for shipment in transports.
The department has been energetic
in it's efforts to make all preparations
for a possible mobilization of national
guards.

/ Washington. May S.--Bryan admit
ted that rhe United States government
had received a note from the South
American mediators who are seeking
| to solve the Mexican crisis, in which
was a complaint by the Huerta' gov
ernment that the Americans We're at
Vera Cruz in violation of the armistice.
Asked as to details of the mediatOrs'
note, Bryan said:
1T simply sets forth what Huerta
says. A reply to the note will be
made"
The subject of the note was among
the things discussed at a cabinet
meeting this morning.
Officials point out that neither the
United States nor Huerta have yet en-
tered into any formal armistice. What
occurred is this: The mediators have
suggested that hostilities be suspended
during the period of negotiations. To
this Bryan replied that it was assum-
ed there would be a suspension of hos
tilities, EXCEPT to repel attack.
Huerta's answer was understood to
be an acceptance, but the exact terms
have not been given out. Bryan sew
eral times has pointed out that this did
not constitute a formal armiStice, but
only the assumption that hostilities
would be suspended except to resist
aggression.
Article VII Of the Hague conven-
ton, Of which both the United States
and Mexico are signatories, provides
specifically on the troop movement
pending mediatio as follows:
Article VII, The acceptance of
mediation cannot, unless there is an
agreement to the contrary, have the
effect of interrupting, delaying or him
dering mobilization or other measures,
or preparation for war.
"If mediation occurs after the COM
mencement of hostilities. it causes no
interruption to the military operations
in progress, unless there be an agree
ment to thu contrary"

at Vera Cruz operates under these
