Washington, Aug. Mrs. Wood.
row Wilson, wife of the president OF
the United States, died at the White
House. Death came after a brave
struggle of months against Brights
disease, with complications.
The president was completely un.
nerved by the shock and his grief
was heartrending. He bore up we'll
under the strain, however, and de-
voted himself to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs. Wilson
was unconscious.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end
was the president and his three
daughters. DR.. Cary 7. Grayson, u.
S. NJ, and a nurse also we're in the
room, and just outside door were
Secretary McAdoo and Francis B.
Sayre, Mr.. Wilson's sons-in-law, and
Joseph Tumulty, his secretary.
Both houses of congress adjourned
when Mrs. Wilson's death was an
nounced and for a brief time the
wheels of the government practically
stopped out of sympathy for the presi-
dent.
Mrs. Wilson was fifty years of age
and when she came to the White
House was in robust health.
President Bears Shock Well.
The beginning of the end came
when DR.. E. P. Davis of Philadelphia,
who had been called in for consulta-
ton, realized that the time for hope
had passed. He took the president
into the red room of the White House
and there in broken voice told him
the truth. Mr.. Wilson's face blanched.

informed the end was only question
of hours.

thought there was chance for her
recovery.
From that time on the president
and his daughters remained at Mrs.
Wilson's beside constantly. The
president held his wife's hand and
the three daughters were grouped
nearby. Until she became uncon-
scious Mrs. Wilson nodded to one or
the other frequently and smiled cheer.

During the day she spoke to Dr.
Grayson about the president, Of
whose health she thought more than
she did of her own.

OPERATIONS so FAR
ARE INSIGNIFICANT

London, Aug 11.-No great battle
has been fought on land or sea In
the war of seven nations, unless the
German assaults upon the fortressea
at Liege eventually assume the pro.
portions of battle in history. Both
combatants claim victory there, with
the Belgians still holding the forts
and the Germans occupying the city.
The situation is unique. There IL
no confirmation of the Daily Malta
report that the French have engaged
the Germans and cut off their retreat,
inflicting loss of 5000 men. The
Belgians assert that they have taken
5000 prisoners. on Belgian soil, but
military men regard all the estimates
Of the belligerents as great exaggerar
tons.
Apart from Liege the fighting of the
first week, when resolved to the prop.
er perspective eventually, doubtless
will be considered insignificant.
