While the retirement of Villa was

The ruse by which the wedding

Because the hour of the wedding
was known to comparatively few per.

the vicinity of the brides home, al
though a large police guard had been
provided.
All arrangements for the wedding

1t says the bombardment of the Rus
SLAMS stlenced the Bulgarian guns and
Iiaid the town in ruins, the garrison
suffeing heavily.
The Russians then, according to the
report, landed infantry and artillery
without loss and in usffcient force
to hold the town again Bulgarian at
tack.
The Russian force was reported by
the Athens correspondent Of the Elk
change Telegraph company to consist
OF Russian cruiser and two destroy
ers, conveying sixteen transports filed
with troops.
The Bulgarian port of Varna is on
the Black sea few miles south of
the Roumanian border. It is a rail.
road terminus. This city and Burgas,
fifty miles further south, are the prin-
cipal Bulgarian Black sea ports.
On several occasions since the be-
ginning Of the Teutonic drive through
Serbia it has been reported that the
Russians would attempt an invasion
OF Bulgaria from the sea and 1t has
been said forces we're being concen-
frated for this purpose at Odessa. Pre-.
vious dispatches reporting Russian ma.
val demonstrations before Varna or
Burgas, presumably preparatory to an
effort to land troops, were not borne
out subsequently.

withdrawal Of the British forces from

British sources Tuesday were those

Of stores which were left behind.
From Tureo-German sources, how
ever, several contradictory details
reached London. The Constantinople

somewhat amplifled by a Constantine

and was followed by buffet luncheon.
Mrs. Wilson was married in the
travelling gown she wore to the train.
Quiet Home Wedding.
Everything was in readiness for the
ceremony when the president arrived
and it proceeded without music.
Neither the president or Mrs. Gait had
any attendants and there were no ush-
ers or fioweagirls. Neither the army,
the navy, nor the diplomatic corps was
represented and the occasion was es-
sentially what both of the couple had
wished it to ke-a home wedding.
On the first floor Of the brides
homc, in two communicating rooms, q
wedding bower had been arranged
with a background of farleyanse and
maidenhair ferns, which extended
from the floor to the ceiling. Over
head there was canopy of green in
the form of shell lined with Scotch
heather. In the background and at
the center was placed large mirror
framed with orchids and rejecting the
scene. Above the mirror was a spray
of orchids across a background of
ferns and the corners OF the canopy
were caught with orchids. American
beauty roses were on both sides of
the canopy, beneath which was a
prayer rug on which President Wilson
and Mrs. Gait knelt during the cere-
mony.
Just at. the hour for the ceremony
the president and his bride appeared
at the head Of the staircase, which
was decorated with ferns, asparagus
vines and American beauty roses.
They descended to the lower floor,
where the guests were grouped about
informally.

States were called upon to supply
what what the brides friends say is
one of the largest and most carefully
selected wardrobes ever gathered by
any mistress of the White House.
The ring used In the ceremony was
made from a nugget Of virgin gold pre-
scented to the president two months
ago by delegation Of school children
from San Francisco.
Despite the intimation from the
White House that nothing should be
sent by any others than relatives and
close friends, the President and Mrs.
Wilson were showered with gifts that
filed an entire room in the Gait home
They were of a wide variety and came
from many chimes and many peoples.

the wedding party.
