withdrawal OF the British admiralty's
Instructions TO merchantmen TO attack
and ram submarines on sight.
Second Side to Question.
The article ventures TO indicate for
the first time TO the German public
mat there may be a second side to
the question OF arms shipments. on
which the press for months has been
harping. Herr Zimmerman pays his
respects 10 what he terms typewriter
heroes. who. far from the front, are
preaching war TO the knife against
everybody" and concludes:
We wish to act and write with
blood and iron. but Just because we
are fearless and determined. we may
look for possible ways by which TO ar
rive at an understanding with Ameri-
ca. We need not close up our depart
ment OF incoming and outgoing decla-
rations OF war. which heretofore has
worked nobly. but II seems to me that
we can curtail the output somewhat
without mourning a reputation for ex-
cesslye caution"
The editor OF the Tageblatt. Theo-
dor Wolf. also publishes an article
in favor OF policy aimed at the
avoidance OF new conflicts and the
bringing in OF new adversaries.

pay its share OF the Virginia debt.
An unusual feature OF the case is
that the late Senator stephen b. FL
kins secured the consent Of the old
bondholders TO accept 81 600. 900 as a
compromise. The West Virginia leg
islature would not consider this. Now

West Virginia would never pay them,

CHARLTON CASE GOES
OVER TO MONDAY
Lawyers Will Sum Up Evidence
on That Day-Wife Slayer
Agitated

COMO. Italy, Oct. 2S.--Porter Charlton.
confessed slayer of his wife, Mary Scott
Charlton. may not know his fate before
next Tuesday. While virtually all the
important evidence was concluded at last
nights session, and Baron Sciacca, the
presiding Judge, informed the lawyers
that he would tolerate no delay. the
case was continued to Monday, when the
lawyers will sum up.
Charlton came into court without show
ing any traces OF agitation. though even
his closest friends admitted that he had
damaged his case by the admission wrung
from him last night that he had been
drinking heavily at the time he killed
his wife.
The most dramatic moment of the trial
was reached today when the Jurors were
shown the garments worn by Mrs Charl-
ton at the time her husband killed her.
Charlton uttered a suppressed groan and
slumped down into his chair. Some of
the jurors seemed on the verge OF
fainting.

MRS. GAIT MAY BECOME
THANKSGIVING BRIDE
Indications Point to Wedding of Pres
ident About Holiday Time

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-The Thanks
giving holidays are to see the wedding OF
President Wilson and Mrs Norman Gait,
according to close friends of the engaged
couple.
Miss Margaret Wilson is back i'm the
White House to stay until after the we'd
ding. Mrs. f. b. Sayre and her baby are
expected here within a week from her
New England home to stay for an in
definite period. Mrs. w. G.. McAdoo, the
other Wilson daughter, will be back from
a trip to the Pacific coast about November
TO- while relatives OF Mrs. Gait and the
other relatives of the President are al
ready gathering here.
The President has made no engagements
after November ~, and this adds color to
the report that the nuptials will be de-
layed until Christmas holidays, but that
the new lady of the White House will be
Installed when Congress convenes on De-
cember g.
Mrs. Gait. with the active aid of Miss
Helen Bones and Mrs. Mead. of Dayton,
Ohio. managed to do considerable shop
ping in Baltimore late yesterday without
attracting very much attention. She left
the big White House car, easily distin-
guished with the great seal I'm gold on
the doors, outside of the shopping dis
trict Then Miss Bones and Mrs. Mead
continued a shopping trip crowd Of en-
thusiasts mistaling the former for the
Presidents fiancee. As result Mrs. Calf
was able to make extensive purchases of
boots, shoes and slippers, and try on two
more new gowns, one of dull black silk
with a garniture OF black Jet, high waist
line and full skirt, and another Of golden
Eatin loosely draped.
