PRES. WILSON WILL
 WED IN DECEMBER
kinship of Tastes Between Pres ident and Bride-tO-be CuImi- mated in White House Ro- mance.-NO Date is Set.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Woodrow Will son, the president of the United Stat es, announced tonight his engagement to Mrs. Norman R. Galt of Washing ton. The date of the wedding has not been fixed, but it probably will take place in December at the home of the bride-elect
 The brief announcement from the White House made by Secretary Tu- multy came as surprise to official Washington, but number of inti- mate friend is long had been expected. From this circle came tonight the story of a friendship whose culmina- tion was viewed as happy turn in the troubled and lonely life of the na- tions chief executive.
 It was Miss Margaret Wilson and her cousin. Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, who drew Mrs. Gait into the White House circle. They met her in the early autumn of last year and were so much attracted by her that they sought her out more and more frequently. Mrs. Galt spent month this summer at Cornish as a guest of the presidents eldest daughter.
 It was through the intimacy of his daughter and cousin with Mrs. Galt that the president had an opportu- nity to meet and know her. One of the most interesting facts about the engagement, indeed, as told by friends is that the presidents daughters chose Mrs. Galt for their admiration and friendship before their father did.

THE SARDINE SITUATION.

The recent big storm, the longest and
most strenuous easterly on record here
for years, was a serious destructive fac
tor in the sardine business last week.
Thursday, before the storm was we'll I'M
derway, a good catch was secured, about
$50 hogshead arriving at the wharves of
PASSPORT factories. Friday the amount
received was very much smaller. and on
Saturday no fish at all were received
here, the drive of the storm settling the
herring off into deeper waters, and max
ing it impossible to seine most traps,
even when they contained fish. 1t served
to delay weir constructions at the back
of Campobello, battered most of the
welrs on the American shore, and pre-
vented those beyond Letete narrows
from fishing. As result, the only fish
brought up Monday were from the shell
tered Deer Island and Bliss Island weirs,
about 400 hogshead from there being
divided between Lubec and Eastport.
Tuesday very small catch was report
ed. Prices at the weirs continue at $l5
and $40. Quality of fish very fine, size
small. Ideas vary about the market price
of sardines. One of the largest factors
is holding at $3.50, but some other con-
Germs are said to be quoting lower figures,
without being anxious to trade at them.
The attitude of both buyers and packers
appears to be watchful waiting. Trading
is in small lots, packers feeling that they
can safely hold on until the midsummer,
when no fish are in sight usually, before
max .ng concessions, and buyers hoping
that the price may change in their favor.

Purity Gives Power.

There are still many persons in the world
that need to be impressed with the fact that
the purer the blood is the greater is the power
of the system to remove disease and the less
the liability to contract it. Persons whose
blood is in good condition are much less likely
to take cold or to be long troubled with it, or
catch any contagious or infectious disease,
than are those whose blood is impure and
therefore impoverished and lacking in vitality.
The best medicine for purifying the blood is
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and persons suffering from
any blood disease or any want of tone in the
system are urged to give this medicine trial

GERMANY WOULD FORCE U. S. TO WAR

U. >.
From the Toronto Mail and Empire,1
Apparently Germany intends to drag the
United States into this war. When the Amer
lean steamer Gulf1ight was torpedoed by
German submarine she was flying an American
flag, and in addition she had her name and ma
tionality painted on the sides in large letters
that could not escape observation. In the
face of this she was sunk without warning. and
three of her ships company were killed lnclud-
ing the captain, who died of heart disease from
the SHOCK. Whether the United States Gov
eminent will SO understand it cannot be said
but there is doubt that the German Govern
ment deliberately planned the act against the
United States, and now is waiting for Washing
ton to the make the next move. 1t is recalled
that in protesting against the German sub
marine blockade Secretary Bryan said that the
German Government would be held in strict
accountability for any American lives or pro-
perty lost, and that it would consider any such
loss as an unfriendly act. 1t now remains to
be seen whether the United States Govern
ment is willing to make good its assertion of
American rights,or whether it will be necessary
for a German submarine to sink some big pas
senger vessel carrying hundreds of Americans
from one side of the Atlantic to the other
Whatever is necessary to force the United
States into war will, we believe, be done by
Germany, and at the precise moment when
Germany determines tina. the time has come
AS has been pointed out before, Germany
has little or nothing to lose by forcing the
United States into the camp of her enemies
1t being out of the question that the United
States should become an ally of Germany's
her position a virtual ally of Germany's
enemies was made inevitable by British sea
power, which has practically made the United
States an arsenal and granary from which
the Allies can draw unlimited supplies. Ger
many having failed to stop this trade, she
may have concluded that she has absolutely
nothing more to lose by formally antagonizing
the United States. She has thing to gain.
and that is revenge upon the United States.
Germany may calculate that for the United
States to declare war on Germany would be
the signal for something approaching Civil
war in the United States. There can be little
doubt that the millions of Germans in the
United States would put every obstacle in the
way Of the American government participant
ing in the war. They are already organized.
and might indeed take up arms against the
government. There would at least be furi-
GUS and bitter agitation that would prevent
the despatch of any considerable number of
American troops to Europe, and that might
seriously interfere with the work of the fac
tories that are now manufacturing arms and
shells for the Allies. To turn the United
States into hell while the war lasts would
be sweet revenge for the Kaiser and his ad-
visers. There is accommodating evidence that
this is what they have planned.

THE TARGET OF THE NATIONS

IRON Inc worcester lelegramI
The flag Of the United States has been fired
upon at least dozen times within year. on
the oceans and in Mexico. and nothing but
words in protests arranged like corkscrews to
read all possible ways have come out of Wash
ington to warn other nations and bandits and
.war-crazed militarism that the flag does not
float for that purpose And the shooting con
tinues, and the most barefaced refusal to
make amends is emphasized by one Huerta of
Mexico buying real estate in New York with
the proceeds of his defiance of the United
States.
From The Philadelphia Telegraph
The American Government and the Amer
lean people have been patient, because they
do not want war. Let none of the belligerents
presume too much upon that, however.
There are rights which no nation can afford to
part with for the sake even of peace. The
United States must protect its flag at all haz-
ards.

SAVED BY THE WAR

From The Hartford Courant, Rep.1
The war has been double life preseryer
for the Wilson administration. 1t has not only
operated exactly as a protective tariff would
have operated in the matter of imports, by
holding them down to reasonable and non. COM
petitive proportions, but it has greatly enlarg-
ed our balance of trade against Europe, by
reason of the enlarged demand from Europe
for our eatable things, which we happened to
have in abundance, and for munitions of war
Thus by wholly fortuitous combination of
circumstances, with which the Wilson admin
istration had no more to do than with the tides
of the Bay of Fundy, it has secured all the adj
vantages here at home of protective tariff,
except the public revenue, which it lost by
making as nearly free trade tariff as it could
and all the advantages of increased sales in
the foreign markets in spite of its systematic
effort to secure an increased sale of foreign
goods in ous market.
To speak about "the grave disturbances
caused by the gigantic European war;" as Mr.
McAdoo does, as if it had been an obstacle
to such prosperity as we now have, when OBJ
viously it has been the main cause of keeping
American producers out of the pit which the
Wilson administration carefully and obstinately
dug for them. is pure frivoity; while for Mr..
Redteld to speak of "those who have brought
the country through the most terrible COM
mercIal shock in its history, and landed her
safe and strong upon the peaceful shores of
prosperity and influence" is no more than an
ostrich like effort to claim for the Wilson ad.
ministration some occult and magnetic power
over operative forces and events with which
his administration has had no more to do than
Julius Caesar. To say such things now is
democratic business, and all the Washington
oraces are hard at it with straight faces, but
it is a foolish effort. Too many people know
for themselves just how these curious con-
traditions of the democratic purpose have
worked themselves out to make this new
Washington myth take.
