PRESIDENT GETS
WEDDING LICENSE
Continued from page ]

once convey the same to the State De-
partment, and Secretary Lansing will
see that il Ia transmitted 10 the Pres
ident with proper ceremony. Only .
few of he diplomats. those who have
known Mrs. Gait for some time. Will
send wedding presents. Others Will
send flowers. and still others will send
through the State Department their
fluctuations.
The wedding ceremony will be per-
formed at Mrs. Cats home Saturday
night, probably about 9 o'clock, al
though the hour has not been an
nounced, in keeping with the desire Of
the couple TO have the affair strictly
private. 1t has not been disclosed
where the bride and bridegroom will go
on their honeymoon or when they VIII
leave the capital.
Their plans have been carefully made
to avoid publicity. The general impress
sion among friends, however IS that
the honeymoon will be spent some
where in the South. Pass Christian,
Miss, where the President stayed part
Of his vacation time, has been among
the places mentioned. It seems 70 be
settled that the wedding trip will not
be made on the Presidential yacht, the
Nayfower: 1t was decided that such
trip would entail a cold sea voyage OF
at least two days before the ship got
into warm, pleasant weather. The OH
GERS and crew Of the yacht, who had
been refused shore leave for Christmas,
have been given liberty.
No one outside the immediate mem
bors Of the wedding party seems TO
know much about the arrangements,
tho brides trousseau. or the gifts sho
has received. No formal announce
ncnt Of the last is expected, but some
thing may be made known informally
after the wedding. It is known that
while there has been no organized send
ing Of gifts by Congress, government
officials of the diplomatic corps, in
dividuals in all the sets in the capital
have sent presents. Many Of them are
said 10 be rare and beautiful. They
have come not only from official and
personal friends Of the President and
Mrs. Gait, bu; also from persons un-
known to either Of them in this coun-
try and abroad. Many are from chill
dren.
The list of guests has not been en-
larged, and, az WAS at first planned,
will include only the immediate rela-
tives of the families. So far as known
the invitations have not even included
the Presidents intimate friend, Colonel
F.. VI. House. OF New York. 1t is said
also that the President will be unat-
tended.

printed last weeks issue and hoped TO
print to-day's number, but the police
came and seized tie machinery, type
and manuscript. We consider We are
doing the finest patriotic work IN the
country. We are criticislng those re-
sponsible for the retention OF pro-Ger-
mans holding responsible positions. We
considered that government officials
were about TO desert our ally on the
field Of battle and protested vehement
ly. We are insuppressible. We Will
state the facts and the truth. The
police have seized our machinery, but
we will manage TO keep in touch with
the public
The raid was the result OF an order
from Major General Sir Francis Lloyd,
commanding the London district. Scot
land Yard men took charge Of the type
and copy for the current issue. The
journal formerly was known as The
