WILSON TAKES OUT
 MARRIAGE LICENSE
President and Mrs. Galt Will Wed
 Tomorrow Evening

Washington, Dec. 17.-President Wilson's marriage license was issued yesterday at the local municipal bureau. It disclosed for the first time that the ceremony Saturday night will be performed by a clergyman of Mrs. rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal church. The president is a Presby- terian and an elder in his church.
 The license was issued to Chief Usher Hoover of the White House staff, who went to the bureaeu, made out the necessary forms and paid the regular fee. Afterward. he de- livered the document to the president. Tn the application the presidents age was given as 59 years and Mrs. Galt's as 43.
 Ceremony at Night.
 The wedding ceremony will be per formed at Mrs. Galts 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 strict ly private. It has not been disclosed where the bride and groom will go on their honeymoon journey or when they will leave the capital.
 Their plans have been carefully made to avoid publicity. The general impression among friends, however, is that the honeymoon will be spent somewhere in the south. Pass Chris tion, Miss. where the president had spent some of his vacation time, has been among the likely places men toned. It seems to be settled that the wedding journey will not be on the presidential yacht Mayflower, as was once contemplated. It was de- cided that such a trip would entail 8 cold sea voyage of at least two days Before the ship could get into pleas ant weather south. The officers and crew of the yacht, who had been re- fused shore leave for Christmas time, now have been given liberty.
 Duly Immediate Family.
 Probably no one outside the imme- diate members of the wedding party knows much about any of the ar engagements or the brides trousseau or the gifts she has received. No formal announcement of the latter is ex- pected,, but something about them may be made known informally after the wedding. It is known that while there has been no organized sending of gifts by congress, government off, cials of the diplomatic corps, in- .dividuals in all the sets in the capi- tai have sent presents Many of them are said to be rare and beautiful. l The presents have come not only from [ official and personal friends of the | president and Mrs. Gait, but also | from persons unknown to either of 1 them in this country and abroad. | Many have come from children. The list of guests has not been en- 1t rged and, was at first planned, will include only the immediate rela- lives of the president and Mrs. Galt. So far as is known the invitations have not gone far enough outside the family circle to include the presidents close and intimate friend, Col. F. M. House of New York. It is said also that the president will be unattended rv a best man.

VISIT IMMIGRATION HEAD.
Tilson and Glynn Present Cases To
 Commissioner.
(Special to the Herald. ,


 Washington Dec. 17.-Representa- lives Tilson and Glynn were at the office of the Commissioner of Immi- grafton the first of the week. MT. Tilson called in the interest of an Italian boy born in Danbury, who is now being held in Italy for military service The boys father was not naturalized prior to the birth of the boy, and as a matter of fact he has only just taken out his first papers, and although the boy is of American birth, the Italian government holds that he is a subject of the King of Italy. The boy went to Italy before the war for the purpose of study. The Commissioner will look into the mat ter.
 MT. Glynn's case was that of a man that entered this country by way of Detroit, Michigan, from Canada. He was held for examination as to his ability to care for himself and to prove that he would not become a public charge he proved that he had a job already in a shop in Waterbury, and he proved it so conclusively that he was ordered deported as con- tract laborer. His friends in Waterbury appealed to Congressman Glynn who attempted to get the Inn migration officials at Detroit over ruled by the Department. He is not at all sure that be can succeed.

ORDERS REFUSED BY
 STEEL COMPANIES
Unable to Handle Business Of-
 fered-Pig Iron Climbing

New York, Dec. 17.-The Iron Age
 yesterday said:
 Current market reports still deal
 largely with business offered, which steel companies cannot entertain. Yet in November, when similar condition prevailed, actual bookings were enor- nous, as the Steel corporations in- crease of over 1,OO0,000 tons in un- filled orders is full proof. Some inde- pendent cmpanies also booked nearly as the latter were readjusted after the l but others kept their new contracts ! down.
 | It is known that some sales for the | third quarter of 1916 have been made
 at 1.7Oc to 1.S0c for heavier finished
 materials, but they are not many
 However, no small tonnage of what is
 now on the books is really third quar- ter business, since the mills cannot 1 deliver it earlier.
 Scarcity of Coke.
 The outcome of the railroad con- gestion, particularly in the east, is a
 matter of no small concern. Aggra- vated in some districts by heavy snow fall it has resulted in a scarcity of coke and some blast furnaces have paid $2.75 and higher for prompt coke e,s against $2.10 a week ago.
 Iron ore, pig iron and finished ma terials have been active in the past week in the order named Sales of Lake Superior ores have been very heavy at 75c advance over 1915 prices
 as te latter were readjusted after the Minnesota freight rate reduction of five cents. Oldrange Bessemer is thus s4.5o and non-Bessemer $3.75, while Mesaba ores are S4.20 for Bessemer and $355 for on-Bessemer. It is be- lieved practically all the merchant ore that can be shipped will be sold by the end of the month.
 More Boats Bought. Lake ore producers are exercised over the supply of mining labor and this question is now of equal moment with that of vessel room and rates.
 More boats have been bought by ore shippers to make sure of getting down their ore, nearly a score being thus 1 taken up. Large sales of Port Henry, N. Y, ores have been made for 1916 delivery at an advance of about 75c over this years schedule, making the range 1L4c to 9c a unit, delivered in eastern Pennsylvania, according to the grade of ore and the freight rate. Lump ore for open-hearth and pudding ! furnaces has sold at $4 at Port Henry Over 100000 tons of eastern ores have been sold in the past few days Pig Iron Climbing.
 Pig iron has been making up lately for the months when it held back while steel was climbing. Marked in crease in foundry operations is shown by good buying, particularly i'll the east and in the lake districts, for early delivery. Pittsburgh and the Valleys have been quiet, but elsewhere buy 1 ing has been freer at advancing prices. Makers are taking on business for the 1 second half at $1 advance over recent prices At Buffalo a 25, ,OOO-ton block of resale iron has been rapidly dis posed of at a profit of $5 to $6 ton.

Salmon Thrive in Maine

Success has been met by the bu- reau of fisheries in establishing hump back salmon on the Maine coast, ac- cording to reports from that terri tory. The fish were planted in Febru- ary, 1914. Many fish weighing five to seven and half pounds have been taken or seen in Penobscot river, Me-, and twenty were captured alive by agents of the bureau near Bangor and held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs. From two of these fish 5000 eggs were taken September 6, and, after fertili- zation, sent to the Craig Brook hatch cry for incubation. Local fishermen caught and ate large numbers, and an employee of the Green Lake hatchery took fifteen fish last week. These had passed through the fishways in dams in Dennys river and were dropping down stream in spent condition; at the same time both live and dead fish were observed below the dams.

SCORE UP ONE FOR JONES
Sarcastic Comment Will Be Appre- ciated by Those Who Favor Old
 Time Methods of Travel.

Down in the crimson clover zone there were two farmers named Jones and Smith, respectively. Jones was old-fashioned and stuck to old-fash- toned ways, but Smith, who was more modern, bought a fine new automo- bile. One day he was proudly exhib- iting to some friends when Jones came along.
 "Um," remarked Jones, as he thoughtfully sized up the handsome machine. Whats that thing there on the side?"
 That's a spare rim and tire,' an swered the proud Smith. "We al- ways carry an extra one in case one of the wheels goes wrong."
 "Jes' as I allus said,' was the dis dainful response of Jones. i've druv hosses fer nigh on 50 years, and l never had to carry spare leg for one O them yet. Philadelphia Press.

NOTICE IS SERVED THAT U. 6. CANNOT SUBMIT TO CUR TAILMENT OF ITS NEU-
 TRIAL RIGHTS.
NOTE CONTAINS 15,OO0 WORDS
Alleged Violations of American Rights Presented to Great Britain--EnG-
 land Held U. S. to Account
 When Latter Was Fighting.

Washington-Th United States, in its latest note to Great Britain, made public here, covering exhaus- lively British interference with Amer ican trade since the beginning of the European war, declares that the so- called blockade instituted by the al- lies against enemy countries on March Il is ineffective, illegal and indefen- sible." Notice is served that the government cannot submit to the curtailment of it's neutral rights" and it cannot with complacence suffer further subordination of it's rights and interests"
 Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for de- livery to the London foreign office, was instructed by Secretary Lansing ito impress most earnestly" upon the British government that the United States must insist that the relations between it and his majesty's govern ment be governed not by a policy of expediency, but by those established rules of international conduct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to account when the latter nation was belliger- ent engaged in a struggle for nation al existence"
 Declaring the United States "un- hesitatingly assumes" the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the American government will devote it's energies to the task, exercising al- ways an impartial at itude.
 The note. nearly 900 words iii length, was made pubic by agreement between the State Department and the British Foreign Office. It carries with it voluminous appendix, giving the text of American naval instruc- tions issued in 1862 and a summary and table showing hundreds of yes sells detained by British authorities since the beginning of the present war.

 Umbrellas and khaki seem most unlikely combination; yet one in stance is recorded of British soldiers taking their umbrellas into action, ac cording to the London Chronicle. On December 10, 1913, during the battle oi the Niye, the Grenadier guards cap tured redoubt outside Bayonne While they were in possession Of this Wellington passed by and noticed that the officers had umbrellas up to pro tect themselves from the heavy rain.
 He sent back his aide-de-camp Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them that the duke does not approve of the use of umbrellas in action. The guards officers may, if they pleace, carry um brellas even in uniform when on duty at St. James; but in the field it is not only ridiculous, but unmilitary."

TURN OVER TIME When Nature Hints About the Food.

When there's no relish to food and all that one eats doesn't seem to do any good then is the time to make a turnover in the diet, for that's Ma ture's way of dropping hint that the food isn't the kind required.
 For a number of years l followed railroad work, much of it being office work of trying nature. Meal times were our busiest; and eating too much and too quickly of food such as is commonly served in hotels and res taurants, together with the sedentary habits, were not long in giving me dys- pepsia and stomach trouble which re- duced my weight from 205 to 160 pounds.
 There was little relish in any food and none of it seemed to do me any good. It seemed the more ate the poorer l got and was always hungry before another meal, no matter how much had eaten.
 Then l commenced trial of Grape Nuts food, and was surprised how 8 small saucer of it would carry me along, strong, and with satisfied appe- tite, until the next meal, with no sen- sations of hunger, weakness or dis tress as before.
 T have been following this diet now for several months and my improve ment has been so great all the others in my family have taken up the use of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfac- tion and much improvement in health.
 Most people eat hurriedly, have lots of worry, thus hindering digestion and therefore need food that is pre- digested and concentrated in nourish- ment."
