Will Wed

Washington, Oct. 6.-Woodrow Will
son, the president of the United States,
announces his engagement to Mrs.
Norman Gait, of Washington. The
date of the wedding has not been fixed
but it will probably take place in De-
cember at the home of the bride elect.
The brief announcement from the
White House was made by Secretary
Tumulty and came as a surprise to
official Washington, but to a number
of intimate friends, it has been learn
ed, it had long been expected. From
this circle came tonight the story of
the friendship, the elimination of
which was viewed as a happy turn in
the troubled and lonely life of the ma
tons chief executive.
1t was Miss Margaret. Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew
Mrs. Gait into the White House circle.
They met her first in early autumn
of last year and +, were so much at
tached to her that they sought her
out more and more frequently and the
friendship between them ripened into
an affectionate intimacy. Mrs. Gait
spent month this summer at Cor
nish, N. H., as the house guest of the
presidents eldest daughter. It was
through this intimacy of his daughter
end his cousin that the president had
an opportunity to meet and know Mrs.
Gait. One of the most interesting
facts about the engagement, indeed,
as told by friends, is that the pres
ident's daughters should have chosen
Mrs. Calf for their admiration and
friendship before their father did.
Mrs. Gait is the widow of we'll
known business man of Washington,
who died eight years ago, leaving a
jewelry business that still bears his
name. She has lived in Washington
since her marriage in 1896. She is
about 80 years old and was Miss Edith
Boiling, born in Wytheville, Va, where
her girlhood was spent And where her
father William H. Boiling, was
prominent lawyer.
Mr.. Wilson is in his ffty-ninth year,
His wife died a little more than a
year ago. In the circle of people, who
have known Mrs. Gait for many years,
she has been regarded as an unusual
beauty, gifted with a natural charm.
Friends constantly sought her out as
delightful companion, remarking
especially on her thoughtfulness and
quick capacity for anything she chose
to undertake.

Electric Power for
the Milwaukee Road

st. Paul, Oct. 6.-The biggest elec-
trio locomotives in the world are be-
ing delivered this week in patches to
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway system.
They form the advance guard of
so huge electric engines to be used by
the road in operating 440 miles of it's
! transcontinental line between Har-
lowtown, Mont, 4,163 feet above sea
level, and Avery, Idaho, elevation 2,494
feet. They will also climb the Rocky
mountain summit, $500 feet and the
Belt Mountain summit, $500 feet.
When these giant machines 60 into
operation as they will do some time
in November, hauling heavy freight
and passenger trains through the pre-
cipitous ranges of Montana and Idaho,
the most ambitious identification pro-
ject ever conceived will have safely
passed it's most difficult stages.
These locomotives are designed to
do the work being done at present and
rather too extensively by huge NAL
let steam engines, two of which are
used to pull heavy freight trains up
the grades of the Belt and Bitter Root
ranges. They are expected to effect
an enormous economy in operation.
In fact the purpose of the company
in identification has not been to in
crease the speed of it's trains, but to
increase efficiency and promote econ
omy in operation.
The new locomotives are of great
interest because they are the first to
be constructed for railroad service
with direct current motors designed
to carry as high a potential as 5000
volts. They weigh rs tons each and
have a continuous capacity greater
than that of any steam or electric To-
connective hitherto ever built.
One of these big machines can
Snake" a train weighing $500 tons
up one per cent grade with it's $40
horse power and make light work Of
the job. Two of them can do the
same on two per cent grade, Il
These monsters are 112 feet inch
es long. There is nothing about them
to suggest the steam locomotive which
they will ultimately displace in both
freight and passenger service if the
faith Of the designers IL sustained.

Cocktails on
the Canal Job

Panama, Oct. 6. - Major General
George w. Goethals has withdrawn his
resignation as governor of the Pana-
ma canal zone. ..
This fact was announced by Gen
eral Goethals tonight on his arrival
on board the steamer Cristobal, from
New York, after a vacation spent in
the United States. His action was
taken he said in view of the recent
slides in the Guarllard cut, which has
closed traffic through the canal. Gen.
Goethals said he would remain in
Panama ndefinitely-until such time
as the condition of the canal would
permit of his departure. Further than
to make this announcement and te
say that he had cabled Secretary Of
War Garrison withdrawing his resig-
nation, which was to become effective
Nov. /, General Goethals had nothing
to say concerning the canal.
He did not seem worried over the
situation but eager to enter upon the

of crop estimates statement continues
Last years crop was estimated at
406,000,000 bushels and the average of
the proceeding five years 357,O00,000.
The crop is seriously affected by blight
and rot in the principal potato sections
east of the Mississippi river. Not only
will the crop be short, but the keeping
qualities probably poor.
"The barley crop, like the other
small grain crops and wheat and oats,
has overrun early forecasts of produc-
ton and exceeds that of any previous
barley crop, the estimate being 237,-
100000 bushels, which compares with
last years estimate Of 195,000,O0O and
the average of the preceding five
years of 182,000,000. The quality is
very good for feeding purposes, being
plump and heavy, but much has been
badly stained by rains after harvest,
reducing the quality for mailing.
THE apple crop forecast is 1882
900 barrels (three bushels), which is
$4,000 barrels larger than the Sept.l
forecast, but 12,76S,00O barrels less
than last years estimate of production.
This estimate refers to total farm pro-
duction Census basis), only a portion
of which represents the so-called COM
mercial crop.
Altogether the season of 1915 has
been favorable for crop production"

Real Test Of STRENGTH COMING

HeaI est OF strength Coming
London, Oct. 9.-Belgrade, the old
capital of Serbia, or the greater part
of it, is in possession of an enemy
army for the second time since the
outbreak of the war, while other Ans
tro-German troops have crossed the
Save and Danube rivers and are At
tempting to make great drive int
Serbian territory.
The capture of Belgrade has been
expected as it was not thought that
the Serbians would make any serious
attempt to save the city. 1t is situated
on point of Serbian soil at the june
ture of the Save and the Danube, jut-
ting toward Austria, and could con-
sequently be attacked from three
:ides.
The real strength of the contest win
come when the invaders reach the
main Serbian positions in the noun
tains where the Austrians were 50
severely defeated last September. The
present, however, is a formidable at
tack, the new army group under COM
mand of Field Marshal Won Mackensea
having been organized for that pur-
pose. Its strength is not exactly
known, but it is supposed that this
army is composed chiefly of Austro-
Hungarians with stiffening of Ger
mans and is largely commanded by
German officers.
The Bulgarians acting in concert
with their new allies are advancing
from Sofia toward Prot on the Ser
bian frontier, the fortress which cov-
ers the road to Nish, the Serbian war
capital. The French and British are
landing troops at the rate of 14,00a
daily at Saloniki to send by railroad
to the assistance of Serbia.
| The Balkans therefore have taken
the Russian and Western fronts az
centers on which interests of the world
will rest for some time to come. The
Black and Aegean seas also will be
the scene of great activity, for as soon
as Bulgaria strikes at Serbia the al
lies feet will give Bulgarian ports
their attention. .-.,
Although the Bulgarian minister at
London, who has neither received nor
asked for his passport, declared to-
day that Bulgaria has no quarrel with
England, an attack on Serbia would
be considered by England as sufficient
reason for a quarrel.
Turkey according to dispatch from
Soloniki is sending $4,000 men to Var
ma and Dedeaghatche to help in de-
/ tense of those ports.
Greeces attitude still is somewhat
obscure. The Greek minister at Paris
today reiterated that Greeces ne1l-
! trality would continue to be one OF
benevolence toward the entente pow
ers, but more than that has been ex-
pected and the Allied capitals are
awaiting definite statement from the
Greek cabinet.
There has been more heavy fighting
around Loes, in Artois which the Brit
ish took in big attacks three weeks
ago which now apparently is defended
by the French. The latter claim that
the Germans who were the aggressors.
were moved down" while Berlin de-
clares that the attack has made some
progress.

DIPLOMATS WHO FALL DOWN
Many Foreign Ministers Have Been
Recalled in Disgrace From the
United States.

In 1898 Washington asked the
French citizens committee Of safety
to recall the French minister, Citizen
Genet, because Of his speeches against
England, which involved the neutrality
of the United States In 1905 the Span
ish minister was given his passports
of the charge of bribing an American
newspaper editor to represent Span
ish arguments in discussion between
this country and Spain. In 1903 Fran
els j. Jackson, British minister to the
United States, entered a charge OF
bad faith against the United States
government in its dealings with Great
Britain, and was recalled in conse-
quence. M. Guillaume Poussin, the
French minister, was recalled in 1S49
because he was guilty of impertinence
toward the American secretary OF
state. In 1855 the British minister,
John F. T. Champion, was recalled on
the charge of making engagements for
recruits for the British army In the
Crimean war. In 1888 Lionel Sack
ville-West was given his passports af-
ter advising an American citizen to
vote for Cleveland; this was regarded
as an unwarranted intrusion in Amer
lean political affairs. In 1898, before
the official breaking of of diplomatic
intercourse between Spain and the
United States the minister at that
time, Enrique Dupuy de LONE, was
recalled because he wrote disrespect'
fully Of resident Mckinley; diplomat
i ic relations were suspended under his
successor. The Turkish ambassador
Rustem Bey, whose criticisms of the
United states aroused so much dis
cussion in the summer and early au
tumn of 1914, left this country in DC
tober OF that year, ION leave OF alb

tack and Cruiser 10 Fin
ally Recaptured.

Shanghai-The crew OF the Chinese
cruiser Chaotic mutinied Saturday
night and opened FIRE on two other
warships and the arsenal. The fire
was returned, the engagement lasting
for one hour.
The cruiser was finally recaptured
from the mutinous crew, while a land
movement against the arsenal was re-
pulsed.
Conflicting accounts of the nature
of the outbreak are current, and ow-
ing to strict measures taken by the
authorities it has been impossible thus
far to obtain official information. 1t
appears. however, that at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon twenty men set
forth from the foreign settlement in a
launch and went alongside the Chao-
Ho, which is lying opposite the Kiang-
Nan arsenal.
On the arrival of the launch the
crew by the Chaotic mutinied, appar-
emily by Encouragement. AT about .
o'clock the mutineers opened fire on
the arsenal, the cruiser Hai-Chi and
the gunboat Tung-Ching.
The Hai-Chi and Tung-Ching replied
and there was lively cannonading OF
light and heavy guns for an hour. Al
least half a dozen threepound shots
fell in the foreign concessions. The
city and countryside we're thrown into
