 MEXICAN GENERAL

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Sept. 16. It is believed that Secretary Lansing, of the State Department, will offer General Navarret an apology for the action of the Texas deputy sheriffs who fired into Matamoras on the Maxican side of the border. The deputies were pursuing Mexican ban dits who had attempted raid into Texas, but were driven back after several of their number had been wounded. The deputies halted when they reached the international line, but several of them fired after the fleeing Mexicans.
 The Mexican border towns have been the scenes of wild orgies during the day in celebration of the anniver- sary of Mexico's independence.

ARABIC EVIDENCE

 factorily Explained.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-No new developments are expected to occur for several days in the controversy between the State Department and the German government regarding the sinking of the liner Arabic by a German submarine, causing the loss of life of several American citizens. Secretary Lansing stated today that his department had dispatched to Berlin the evidence gained from sur vivors of the wreck showing that the liner was sunk without warning and that no action would be taken by America until the German reply had been received.
 Count Bernstorff, the German am- bassador in Washington, held a long conference with Secretary Lansing today and stated to representatives of the press that he was confident that the sinking of the Arabic would be explained to the complete satis- faction of the American people.

WATERING THE LAWN.
A Task That, as General Rule, ls Not
 Properly Performed.

N
 Properly Performed.
 There are probably more mistakes made in connection with the watering of the lawn than in any other phase of its management.
 The practice of sprinkling, as 1t is al- most universally followed, is funda- mentally wrong-not that the sprinkler does not furnish enough water to the grass during the season. but that it does not furnish it in properly distrib- uted quantities.
 Sprinkling for a short period may ap- pear to wet the sod thoroughly, but in reality the water does not penetrate much below the surface This encour- ages the formation of surface roots and makes the grass less resistant to the severe conditions of weather and usage.
 Except ill rare cases the lawn should not be watered oftener than two or three times a week. A thorough soak ing is necessary and should be given in the late afternoon or early morning. The ordinary type of revolving spray is quite satisfactory, but the amount of water applied by it is usually much less than appears The point to be borne in mind is that the ground should be thoroughly satu- rated at each application to at least three inches in depth.-Kansas City Journal.

London Expects Balkan War.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The British war office believes that it is only a matter of short time before the Bal kan states will enter the war with Bulgaria, allied with the Teutons and Turkey, and Greece and Rumania fighting with the allies. The failure of the British diplomatic service to win Bulgaria to remain neutral is a great disappointment to England as Bulgaria's entrance in to the strug- gle will permit of free access of Ger man intuition shipments being sent to the Turks.
 Military experts believe that Ger many will throw her strength against Rumania with the object of quickly crushing her resistance and prevent her from endangering the Teutonic forces in southern Russia by rear at tacks.

Austrian Destroyers Sunk.

PARIS, Sept. 16.-Advices from Rome state that two Austrian torpe- do boat destroyers which engaged an Italian submarine in battle were sunk by the undersea craft and went to the bottom of the Adriatic with most of their crews. The Italian subma- rines have been very active along the coast of Austria and the destroyers were evidently sent to check their ac- tivities but proved victims to the un- dersea fighter.

Then. being pleased as we'll as sur

again at the beginning.
He's going to marry Edith Gait!
Did you ever"
"Never-reallyi An excellent choice,
my dear. She is beautiful, talented.

since Mrs. Wilson's death the President
has been melancholy and q little passe."
Yes, OF course. Who is Mrs. Galt?"
And up and down the land, the morn
ing after the engagement of the Presi-
dent OF the United States to Mrs Edith
Boiling Gait was announced. the question
was asked over and over.
who is Mrs. Gait? What is she like?
How will she fill the place Of First Lady
OF the Land'?"
And her story went out. Mrs Gait was
Miss Edith Boiling. of Wytheville. Va,
descendant of Princess Pocahontas, idol
lied in the old Dominion, and John Rolf,
first secretary. Of the colony at James
town in 1914. She is related to many
of the best families of Virginia.
Members OF the old southern aristoc-
racy living In Wytheville remember
Edith Boiling as a beautiful girl, sweetly
reticent, daughter of a judge who was
the typical Virginia thoroughbred"
When she was nineteen she married
Norman Gait. son Of the prominent Gait
family OF Washington, for more than a
hundred years proprietor of a large
jewelry store. She went to Washington,

Washington was still telling the story
of the White House wedding to be, Love
hunted for more hearts to pierce. and
sped two arrows on their way. And the
matrons smiled over their coffee cups as
they talked Of the engagement Just an
nounced and OF the other engagement
probably Just about to be announced.
One was the engagement Of Miss Isa-
bella Hagner to Norman James, Of Balti-
more.
Miss Hagner has held a position unique
in capital society since Mrs. Roosevelt
selected her as social secretary. Placed
by family connections most enviably
among interesting people in residence
circles. her appointment put her among
the important personages of Colonel
Roosevelt's administration. She retained
her post during Mrs. Taft's regime and
was selected by Mrs. Wilson from among
numerous applicants for the position.
She has been the frequent companion
OF the daughters and the late wife Of ths
President, and she received nearly every
afternoon in the red room, generally pre-
siding at the tea table.
Miss Hagner is an attractive woman.
with bright eyes and a pleasing smile.
Mr.. James is a widower, a graduate Of
Yale. class Of 1880, and wealthy.
The engagement discussed at the same
time is that Of Miss Alice Gertrude Cor
don, ward OF Mrs. Gait, to DR.. Cary
Grayson. U. 8: N. personal friend and
physician of President Wilson.
Miss Gordon made her debut two years
ago. and has been most popular in Wash
ington society. Her handsome home on
18th st. is filed with relics picked
up from all about Asia and Europe. After
much litigation over her fathers will.
she asked that Mrs. Calf be appointed her
guardian. 1t was through her and DR..
Grayson that Mrs. Gait was first intro
duced to President Wilson.
Then again the fact that Frank e.
Compton, Of Chicago. attended q num-
Der of Miss Margaret Wilson's concerts
on her recent tour set the capitolean gos-
sips talking of the possibility Of another
wedding in the Waite House itself be-
fore the present regime is ended.
