Widow of Jeweler

Mrs. Gait is the widow Of promi-
nent business man Of Washington, who
died eight years ago, leaving a jeweiry
business that still bears his name. She
has lived in Washington since her
marriage in 1896. She is about 50 years
old and was Miss Edith Boiling, born
in Wytheville, Va, where her girlhood
was passed and where her father, Will
liam H. Boiling was a prominent law
yer.
An Unusual Beauty
In the circle of people VINO have
known Mrs. Gait for many years she
has been regarded as an unusual beau
ty, gifted with a natural charm.
Friends speak Of her as being con-
stantly sought as delightful compan-
ion remarking especially on her
thoughtfulness and quick capacity for
anything she chooses to undertake.
For many weeks Mrs. Gait and her rel
atives have ben frequent dinner guests
at the White House. Often she has ac-
companied the President on motor
rides. She is not quite as tall as Mr..
Wilson, has dark hair and dark eyes
and always is in stylish attire. Her
tastes are said to be strikingly similar
to those Of the President, with deep
interest in literature and charity work.
Friends Pleased
Friends Of the President expressed
their pleasure over the announcement
tonight, not only because Of Mr.. Will
sons 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
two daughters and the death Of Mrs.
Wilson more than year ago, the
Presidents life had become one Of
solitude. His absorption in official Ia
bors began to tell on him physically,
and when a few months ago he began
to take renewed interest in personal
affairs, his friends and members Of the
family welcomed the distinct change
which It brought about in his health
and spirits.

nounced that he would vote for woman
suffrage, took firm position in favor
Of national defense. and received a

BAPT|STS' CONVENTION

Waterville, Me. Oct 6.-(SpeciaD.-
That there exists an organized effort to
discredit national prohibition through
agreement not to enforce the Name law
was the declaration made by Rev. DR..
Wilbur F. Berry of Waterville, superin-
tendent Of the Christian Civic League of
Maine, at the joint session of the Bap-
lists and Free Baptists today.
Mark my words carefully" said DR..
Berry. II believe that the authorities
have sold the right for the open saloon
in Maine, fostered by outside liquor in
terests to discredit national prohibition. "
DR.. Berry said that there were two
propositions which the liquor interests
are putting forward in the great publicity
campaign they are making against pro-
hibition. First, the loss of revenue tn
the government; and second, that prohi
bition does not prohibit.
Control Of Newspapers
He said that newspapers all over the
country, under the control of liquor in
terests. had printed the statement that
the government had lost $4,000 900 in rev.
enue on account Of prohibition legisla-
ton. DR.. Berry pointed out that Russia,
with the enormous expenses of a great
war upon her, had thrown away a rev.
enue of 500. 900. 900 from the sale Of vodka.
but that the Russian people had already
saved $30,0O0.0 900. He showed how the
government bears 80 per cent loss in
order to gain 10 per cent. tax.
A Massachusetts "cIippins"
He read a clipping from a Massachu-
sets paper, quoting him to prove that
prohibition in Maine was failure He
told of a man Of his acquaintance
elected sheriff of Maine county who
had told him that scarcely had he been
elected sheriff before he was told that
a man wanted to talk business with
him. The business" proved to be a
proposition that the sheriff should per-
nit the sale of liquors manufactured
by certain interests the sheriff to col
lect $40 a week from each retailer,
which would net the official between
$4,000 and $4,000 year in addition
to his salary, but he said: Il am at
tempting to enforce prohibition in
this county for my salary"
DR.. Berry said that he had evidence
which he believed would be sufficient
to convince the most logical minded
person in his audience that there

Ultimatum Rejected

King Ferdinand of Bulgaria has re-

that she break with the Central Pow
ers and expel German officers who
have taken charge of Bulgaria's army
staff and, at the same time, according
to several correspondents. has sent
an ultimatum to Serbia, allowing a
time limit of "a hours for the cession
of Macedonia to Bulgaria.
German Program
The program Of the Germanic En-
pires apparently includes the CONSOLE
dation Of their field operations with
their Turkish allies by sweeping clear
a channel from Berlin and Vienna to
Constantinople. For the accomplish
ment Of this program, they already
received the cooperation of Bulgaria.
They need the neutrality Of Greece and
Rumania, and then must crush Ser
bia.

Today's developments tend to con-
firm the statements Of the German
press that the German Emperor has
guaranteed to Bulgaria both Greek and
Rumanian neutrality. Thus the crucial
field Of warfare has shifted from the
