DATA SUBMITTED BY FACTIONS
Feeling in Official Circles Is
That Carranza Has PractiC-

Washington, Oct. 8.-Recognition
of the Carranza government in Mex

is likely to be accorded by he United
States within the next few weeks.
Data submitted by the revolution
airy factions is being considered now
and next Saturday another confer
ence of the Pan.American diplomats
presided over by Secretary Lansing
will be held. 1t generally is believed
that the intention of the United
States with respect to recognition
will be communicated by diplomats
here to their government so that &C
ton may be taken by other nation
at the same time.
Although it is possible that tn,
discussion may not be terminated a
Saturdays meeting and another ma,
be held next week, the general be
lief is that some announcement
eventually will be made by the con
ference stating which faction SHOULD
be recognized.
Some diplomats are said to believ
that no faction has met the stand

TWO PAPERS
ATATHENAEUM
Made Program Thursday Night
One of the Best For
Months.

The Athenaeum meeting Thursday
night at Hotel Latham was an eX-
ceptionally interesting and enjOya-
BILE meeting. President Trimble pre-
sided and there were papers by two
of the members whose productions
are always carefully and ably pre-
pared. Mr.. Jas. A. Mckenzie wrote
on "Some Phases of Life in The
Country" His paper was delight
full presentation of the pleasures of
rural life from the standpoint of the
prosperous farmer, with all the ad-
vantages of scientific farming, good
roads, fine schools and modern homes
equipped with nearly every improve
ment possible in the cities. There
was a delightful vein of humor in
the paper, with many good natured
prods at town folks"
DIR. F. M. Sites followed with a
thoughtful and conservative discus
sion of Socialism in America" He
saw much to condemn, but pointed
out many good things in Socialist
doctrines, his conclusion being that
the good should be appropriated by
the dominant parties.
Both papers were discussed for an
hour or more, many good short
speeches being made. One of these
was by Prof. McHenry Rhoads, of
Frankfort, who was visitor.

White House made by Secre airy Tu-
multy came as surprise to official
Washington, but to number of
intimate friends it long had been ex-
pected. From this circle came the
story of friendship. whose culmin-
alton was viewed as happy turn in
the troubled and lonely life of the
uation's chief executive.
1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Helen Woodrow
Bones, who drew Mrs. Gait into the
White House circle. They met her
in the early autumn of last year, and
we're so much attracted by her tHat
they sought her out more and more
frequently. Mrs Gait spent month
this summer at Cornish as guest of
the Presidents eldest daughter. 1t
was through the intimacy of his
daughter and cousin with Mrs. Gait
that the President had an opportun-
ity to meet and know her. One of
the most interesting facts about the
engagement, indeed, "a told by
friends, is that the Presidents daugh-
tiers chose Mrs. Gait for their admir-
alton and friendship before their
father did.
BRIDE NATIVE OF VIRGINIA.
Mrs. Gait is the widow of a we'll
known business man of Washington,
no 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 thirty EIGHT years old. and was
Miss Edith Boiling, born in Wythe-
vile, Va, where her girlhood was
spent and where her father, William
H. Boiling, was prominent lawyer.
For many weeks Mrs. Gait and her
relatives have been frequent guests
at the White House. Often she has
accompanied the President on motor
rides. She is not quite as tall as Mr..
Wilson, has dark hair and dark eyes.
Friends regard her as an unusual
beauty. Her tastes are said to be
strikingly similar to those of the
President. She is interested in liz.
erature and charity work.
Friends of the President expressed
their pleasure over the announcement
not only because of Mr.. Wilson's
personal happiness, but because they
felt this new companionship would
give him support and comfort in his
home life-a vital need during the
hours of strain over the nations
problems. With the marriage of his
daughters and the death of Mrs.
Wilson more than year ago, the
Presidents life had become one Of
solitude.

Attack Begun On Bulgaria
Without a Declaration
of War.
GERMANS INVADE SERBIA.
Greece SympathizeS With Allies
But HOped-fOr Help Is Not
Yet Forthcoming.

London, Oct. The long threat
ened Austro.German offensive in the
Balkans, with added menace TO Bull
garia, has begun in earnest. Almost
simultaneously with the rupture of
diplomatic relations between Sofia
and the entente, an Austro. German
army estimated at 400, 900 men, with
an enormous weight of heavy artill-
cry, started to attack Serbia from
north and west, and. according to
Berlin, crossed the Drina, Danube
and Save rivers at many points and
firmly established itself on the Ser.
bian side.
The Anglo French troops, which
were landed at Saloniki with the
tacit consent of the Greek govern
ment, are being hurried northward
to assist Serbia. and, if possible to
keep the Bulgarians from capturing
the Saloniki.Nish railway, the only
source by which the Serbians can be
fed with munitions of war.
The hoped. for support from Geece
has not been forthcoming, King Con-
: stantine by the dismissal of Premier
= Venizelos, having shown that, while
his country sympathizes with the
cause Of the allies, he is not pre-
pared to go against the central pow
: ers or to fulfill the obligations Of the
t co.Serbian treaty of alliance,
e which provides that one ally must go
to the assistance of the other in case
of attack.
NEW GREEK CABINET.
The new Greek cabinet Of mixed
| sympathies has been appointed, and
the expectation now is that unless
public opinion forces the hand of the
government and insists on action on
the side OF the allies, Greece will re-
main neutral. 1t is hardly cOnceiv-
able to the entente diplomats that
Greece will go over to the central
powers, for, they point out, Bulgaria
is known to covet Greek territory,
and the treatment OF Greek nation
ais in Turkey. makes it virtually i'm
possible for her to become the ally
of that country.
As in Greece. public opinion in
Bulgaria is not entirely unanimous
in support of King Ferdinand, and
reports indicate that the Bulgarian
mobilization is being carried out
with difficulty.
The Cologne Gazette reports two
Russian cruiser actively bombarding
the Bulgarian port of Varna.

Lacey, with bloodhounds from Sc

but was unsuccessful.
According to information received
here negro named Charlie Day had
lived for some time in the residence
and it is said he had been conducting
a very disorderly house, and was
bootlegging. Two weeks ago he re-
ceived stick of dynamite, some car
tridges and matches, with a note
warning him to leave the country.
He failed to comply until Monday
afternoon of this week and the ia

JUDGE DENOUNCES ACT.
Circuit court is in session now anC
Judge Gordon the first thing mex
morning summoned the grand jur!
before him and issued the stronges
instructions ever heard in the cour
room. He asked the jurors to LAY
aside everything they had been in
vestigating, to neglect every matter
that had been before them and t
take up this latest outrage against
humanity in Hopkins county.
There are not enough night rid
ers or possum hunters this side OF
hell to prevent this court admins
tering justice if you will only indict
the guilty parties and bring them be-
fore me" declared Judge Gordon.
He stated that he wanted the jur.
ors to exhaust every means to reach
the criminals, and if necessary, the
state militia would be appealed to
and if they could not stop lawless
ness, such as the crime committed
he would lead a righteous mob
and suppress these. crimes.
The negroes killed were employed
at one of the coal companies at Nor
tonville and are said to have beer
peaceabe citizens. The cabin wa,
almost in the heart of the little vii
la9e and the explosion that wrecked
the building was heard for severa
miles.
1t is believed that evidence was Sc
cured Wednesday that will probably
lead to indictments being returned
by the present g and jury.

BATTLE is WON BY AUTOS
Re-enforcements by Motor Turned
Scale for Germans at Sois-
sons.

Berlin.-The automobile played an
important role in deciding the battle
of Scissors. 1t is now learned that
re-enforcements, brought up by a col
umn of more than two hundred auto
mobiles on the night of January IL
and thrown in on the German left
flank az Vregny, turned the scale
when the Germans were making their
counter-stroke and enabled them 10
sweep the French from the plateau
Hitherto automobiles have been
used by the Germans but little in this
campaign. except for the transporta-
ton of riflemen attached to cavalry
divisions, owing to the length of time
required for loading in motor cars
large bodies of troops, which. to a
great extent, neutralizes the extra
speed in the actual movements. On
this occasion the troops were drawn
up four abreast in a column along the
road. AS each automobile arrived men
clambered in quickly and without con-
fusion.
