NEW LOAN FOR ALLIES LIKELY

New York Oct. 13. = Foreign ex-
change rates went down again in the
face of the successful flotation of the
Sj00,000,000 credit loan to Great Bri-
tain and France, to their lowest point
since Sept. 10. So disquieting was the
situation deemed that a three-hours'
meeting, attended by Wall Street
bankers and Sir Edward Holden, a
member of the AngloFrench financial
commission, was held late in the day
in the National City bank for the re-
ported purpose Of deVising some new
method to bolster the value of the
English pound sterling.
A supplemental credit of $259. 9.eee,-
900, it is said, was discussed.

STAND FOR AMERICA FIRST
WILSON VOICES DEMAND UPON
ALL AMERICANS.
Urges More Strict Neutrality in Re
gard to World War, on Pain
of OStracism.

Washington, Oct. ia demand up
on all Americans on pain of ostracism
to be more than neutral in regard to
the European war, to take their stand
for America first, last and ali the time,
was voiced by President Wilson in a
speech at the celebration of the 25th
anniversary of the foundation of the
Daughters of American Revolution.
The United States, the President said,
was not merely trying to keep out of
trouble, but was trying to preserve
the foundation upon which peace
could be rebuilt.
Peace can be rebuilt" he added,
only upon the ancient and accepted
principles Of international law; only
upon those things which remind ma
tions of their duties to each other and,
deeper than that, of their duties to
mankind and humanity. America has
a great cause which is not confined to
the American continent. 1t is the
cause of humanity ITSELF"
Declaring his faith in the loyalty of
the great body of naturalized citizens
Of foreign birth, the President said he
believed the impression was too gen.
eral that very large number Of these
citizens were without sufficient af-
fection for the American ideal.
But l ann in a hurry to have q
lineup" he explained, 'and let the
men who are thinking first of other
countries stand on one side, and those
who are for America first, last and
all the time on the other side''
Every political action and every so
cial action in America at this time
| said Mr.. Wilson should have for its
object to challenge the spirit of Amer
icanism.
The Presidents address Was marked
by frequent applause. AS he entered
Memorial Continental hall, in which
the meeting was held, band played
the Star Spangled Banner and the
audience rose and applauded. He
walked from the White House to the
I hall with a military aide and his ap
proach was heralded by a blare OF
bugles. He was introduced by Mrs
William Cummings Story, president
general of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution. Mrs Norman Gait

But the carver. who did not know
much about little boys. cut off a tiny

Washington.-In small, unpre-
tentious house, 1908 Twentieth street,
in this city, Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait,
widow, will be married Saturday, De-
cember 10, to Woodrow Wilson, wild
over and president of the United
States.
Not since the marriage of President
John Tyler to Miss Julia Gardiner has
there been a wedding of a president
marked by such extreme quiet and Sc
clusiveness as is to be the case at
this wedding which will join the Will
son and the Gait families. President
Tyler went to New York to be mar
ried to Miss Gardiner and there at the
Church of the Ascension in the pres
ence of only a handful Of persons he
took unto himself his second wife. At
the coming wedding of another presi-
dent of the United States there will be
present no persons except those of the
immediate families of the two con-
tracing parties.
Only one cabinet officer, Mr.. Nc
Adoo, will witness the ceremony, and
he not by right of his official position
but because he is the son-in-law of the
president, having married Mr. Wilson's
youngest daughter. When Grover
Cleveland was married in the White
House to Miss Folsom, the wedding
party was a small one, but included
in it were members of the presidents
cabinet and several other high officers
of government. President Wilson and
Mrs. Gait have decreed that their
union shall be wholly a family affair.
Relatives Only to Be Present.
Mrs. Gait will be attended by her
sister, Miss Bertha Boiling of this
city. Even with the guests limited to
the members of the families of the
president and his bride-to-be the ca
pacity of the parlors in the modest
Gait home will be taxed, for both the
principals have many close relatives.
To witness the ceremony and to
give congratulations to the newly mar
ried ones these persons, among other
kinsfolk, will be present: Miss Mar
