MARRIAGE KEPT QI'IET
Nor Docs a Soul Know Where the
Honeymoon Will Be
Spent.
WASHINGTON. Dec. IT. — The
wedding arrangements for the mar
riage of President Wilson and Mrs.
Galt have been practically completed.
The hour at which it will take place
has not been announced but it is ex
pected to be in the evening. The
place where the honeymoon will bo
spent is being kept a profound secret
but it will probably be at W hitehouse
Springs, Virginia, or at Jekyl Island
on the Georgia coast. There will be
no guests aside from the relatives.
The geratest interest is being mani
fested in the marriage today in this
city and all over the country.

BRITAIN OPENS DIPLOMATIC
SERVICE TO THE WOMEN
LONDON, Dec. 17.—British woman
suffrage leaders today hailed as their
first important victory the govern
ment’s appointment of Miss Pressley
Smith, organizer, to a secretarial post
in the British Christiania legation.
The appointment, which violates
diplomatic precedent, followed repre
sentations to Premier Asquith urging
the desirability of opening govern
ment appointments to women, parti
cularly in the diplomatic field. The
suffragists expect other appointments
to follow in both diplomatic and other
government branches.
Miss Smith was for two years or
ganizer for tho National Union of
Suffrage Societies at Glasgow but
lately had been organizing relief
work.
Commenting on the appointment,
Mrs. Fawcett, president of the Na
tional Union declared:
“Miss Smith's new post may be
taken as an indication that the gov
ernment recognizes suffrage to some
degree.”

LONDON, Dec. 17.—Lord Kitchen
er, the British minister of war, will
soon be married to Countess Minto,
the widow of a former governor gen
eral of Canada. The future bride
groom is a bachelor and sixty-four
years of age while the bride-to-be is
said to be about fifty. Several other
reports that he was about to be mar
ried have been circulated from time
to time but all ended in nothing. The
present story is authoritive, how
ever, and the coming marriage is be
ing made the excuse for reprinting all
the old stories accounting for his fail
ure to get married before. The chief
reason is-said to be disappointment in
an “affaire” of his younger days.
WILL ELECT OFFICERS
It is expected to elect permanent
officers of the Republican Club this
evening. It is evident from the ques
tions asked some of the prominent
members of the party that no slate
has been made up. Dr. Sloan is
amongst those mentioned as likely
timber for president.
