ges, the soldiers Of Germany and the
allied nations keep up a continual
fight.
According to a long official report
Of the fighting during the past two
months. issued by the French war
staff today, this method of ciege op-
erations largely has favored the
allies. who, while they have gained
ground on almost every part of the
front have been forced to give way
in only one region-that of scissors.
They are being put to a test, how.
ever, similar to that which obliged
them to retire from north Of the
Aisne near scissors, because the Ger
mans, realizing the danger to their
communications with Metz as re-
suit of the French advance near
Point-aAIousson have sent reinforce
ments there and have begun a battle
for the positions they lost during the
past week.
The Germans apparently have re-
gained a portion of them ana lighting
for the remainder is now in progress.
At other points, particularly near
st Mihiel and in Alsace, there have
been infantry engagements, but on
the whole the artillery continues to
be the busiest arm.
The Russians have renewed their
offensive operations against Mlawa, a
town which has changed hands often
since the commencement of the war,

Visits Wilson's Daughter.

It was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew Mrs.
Gait into the White House circle
They met her first in the early autumn
of last year and were so much at.
tracted by her that they sought her
out more and more frequently and the
friendship between them rapidly ripen-
ed into an affectiOnate intimacy.
Mrs. Gait spent a month this sum-
mer at Cornish as the house guest Of
the Presidents eldest daughter. It
was through this intimacy of his
daughter and cousin that the President
had an opportunity to meet and know
Mrs. Gait.
One of the most interesting facts
about the engagement, indeed, as told
by friends, is that the Presidents
daughters should have chosen Mrs
Gait for their admiration and friend
ship before their father did.
Friends of the president expressed
their pleasure over the announcement
not only because of MIR. Wilson's per-
sonal 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.
