WEDDING BELLS FOR
 PRESIDENT TONIGHT
(Continued from First Page.)

being the active head and many tributes are paid to her ability But activity in business, her friends say, never has diminished her inter- est in a woman's world. She loves flowers, books and outdoor recrea- tions. After the presidents courtship began she took up golf and on many Saturday afternoons they were seen together on the links at some one of the country clubs about the capital, or at other times taking long motor drives over the Virginia hills or along the shore roads in lower Maryland. Often they took picnic luncheon from the White House on their journeys and ate it by the roadside.
 In the White House circle the bride quickly found her place. She plays the piano, sings and loves poetry and when in the intimacy of the family, the president often has read aloud his favorite poems, as is his custom, she is said to have been one of his most interested hearers.
 Guest of Daughter.
 Miss Margaret Wilson, the presi- dents eldest daughter, and Miss Helen Woodrow Bowes, his cousin. are said to have drawn her into the White House circle in the early autumn of 1914. From that time. she was a frequent guest at the executive mansion and last summer spent g. son at the summer White House at Cornish, N. H. The engagement was announced on October 6, not long

HAS WORKED HARD
 FOR CITY-COOLEY
City Electrician, After Thirty Years work, Says He Is Willing
 to Quit.

City Electrician George Cooley stated this morning that while he has been censored severely of late, he does not mind it where it is merited, but he does not think that the de- partment of which he is at the head should be scored when it is not war ranted.
 He says that he has been accused of not wanting an assistant for fear of having to teach him the intricate system. This is wrong, states the cfficial He declares that for years he has been trying to induce the safety board to secure an assistant for him and if a good intelligent man should be secured he would be only too glad to instruct him. The kind
 of a man that is needed is one who will also act as lineman, he states.
 Concerning the inspection of alarm boxes, Cooley says he thinks it is good idea and that he has always done so when possible. It is the fault of the style of box insisted upon by the safety board that causes the mix-ups, he states. He declares that he advocates a different and more re- liable type of alarm box but his ad- vice has never been followed Like wise, he states that the indicator system in the various stations is not as reliable as the punch system on tape used in Hartford and elsewhere. Another thing which Cooley be- lieyes to be unfair is that he has never been furnished with means o1 going from one part of the city to an other in pursuance of his duties. For four years, he states, he has used his 1 own automobile to attend to the city's i business, yet never once has he been l given so much as a gallon of gasoline l Concluding, the electrician states l that he has been on the job for thirty years and has tried to do the best he
 can for the city, but is by no means of the opinion that he cannot leave ] it. The fire and police telegraph he l has built up. He has supervised the l installation of over forty-five miles o1 l fire telegraph wire and over thirteen
 miles of police wiring and knows ii
 from A to Z,> but should he get l through he would try and leave the l city we'll provided for, he says. Ii
 should be known that when he gets
 through he is through for good. IT ] addition to his other work, the cleo
 trician says that he has eighteen cleo l tricians to oversee as well as the sub I way electrical work and this alone

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

do not get one cent of salary, though giving a great deal of time and some times paying out money besides for the >city's benefit, and the chairman of the board gets $25 a month and is giving practically half his time and neglecting personal business for the benefit of the city.
 Under these circumstances I want to as the public if it is just to call them down for doing what they have from an unselfish motive, for the benefit of the city and humanity S sake?
 They voluntarily replace the money in the city treasury without any re- gard to the mayors orders and with out his knowledge, but should they be allowed to be out of pocket? Does such treatment make it easy to secure the services of proper men for official positions?
 Intimates Ulterior Motive.
 The proposal to reimburse the mem bers of the board had the endorsem enJ of the corporation counsel who, it is known, is opposed to wasting city money and the opposition of his honor was a great surprise to many of the council members. It appeared as though here was feeling back of it. Though expressing great sympathy for the officer some time ago and cer- tainly knowing the reasons for his name being on the pay roll we have not heard of his honor going down in his jeans for the officers benefit, but we have read of band concerts foot ball banquets and other similar pub- lie events, all of course, appreciated by many, and liable to mean more votes later on, than would helping an off, cer who was supposed to be on his last legs.
 In regard to our worthy board of public safety and their straining over the legal line-coNsider their motives and the results and then think of Him who was on earth nineteen hundred years ago and one of His admonitions:
 tLet him who is without sin cast the first stone"
 Respectfully

GERMANS PLAN ID
 CROSSGREEkBORDER
13,5OO Prisoners Taken by Aus
 trianS in Past Five Days

London, Dec. IS, 1925 p. m.-The unprecedented military situation in Greece has developed a new crisis. The allied troops are fortifying them selves about Saloniki, digging trenches and placing guns. It is reported the Germans are preparing to advance into Greek territory.
 Whether the Bulgarians also will cross the border is a vital question to the Greeks.
 The Greek general election will be held tomorrow, but it is not expected the result will have any controlling Influence on the policy of the gov- ernment. King Constantine remains lndlsposed. The party of former Premier Venizelos has no candidates ana soldiers under arms will not vote.
 Compelled to Attack. According to the Athens corres- pondent of the Times, the German minister at Athens told Premier S1xou- 1oudis the Germans would be com pelled to attack the British and French forces.
 If all current reports were true, the Germans would be preparing offen- s1Ve movements in all directions-in Belgium and France, in Greece. against Egypt, on the Riga-Dvinsk front ana in Galicia. British mili- tary crltlcs believe, however, that the central powers have not enough aVa1laole reserves for an offensive movement on more than one front.
 NO important fighting was report ca over night from any field.

WHO PAYS FOR THE WAR DANCE?

1t is estimated that the European war has cost to date
in military operations, thirteen billions of dollars If pro-
longed to the end of the year. the cost will be twenty
billions, says the Medford MaiTribune.
This does not include the enormous destruction of
property the human Wreckage the manned and the loss
of millions of useful lives. No estimate figure the
loss to the world caused by this needless and
senseess confict-ths relapse into barbarism Of civil
izaton
The nations that have to pay these losses at the con-
cuslon of the conflict will find themselves hopeessy i'm
povershed with their earning capacity enormously de-
creased The Europe Of before the war was still paying
debts incurred by the Napoeonic wars The Europe of
century hence will still be paying the burdens enforced by
the present conflict.
"After us the deuge" is evidently the motto of Euro
pean uers-and the deuge of revolution will follow at
temps to enforce the toers Of the future to pay for the
crime of the present. just the French revolution fol-
lowed the crazy eXtraVagances of the Bourbons
Who is to pay for this dance Of Mars? Who paws for
the mad monachs dance Of death? Who but the people
And there can be but Outcome-more poverty more
misery more disease The products of poverty through
out Europe will be increased many fod Conditions Will
become ntoelable Life will not be worth the living as
the rum begun by the war multiplies
WHAT will be the result? Probably revolution and re-
pudatlon reorganization along new lines as the old
order passeth For civilization that has war as its ot
come not as It's idea-deserves to perish from the face
Oh the earth as miserable failure.
